Lana Del Rey’s Old Money feels almost inseparable from me, as if its nostalgia were etched into my memories. The song evokes a vanished era of beauty and grandeur, one I sometimes sense I might have belonged to in another life. It awakens a quiet longing in me, the same feeling I find in Wuthering Heights, one of my favorite books. Ever since I was young, I’ve carried a sense of not fully fitting into the present moment, as though part of me has always been drawn to the echoes of another time.
