Lana del Rey: Cola

This is the hardest song. This is about riding the edge closely while stroking slowly.
1: During the verses (eg 0:17-0:34) slow stroking with the beat (like a heartbeat).
2: During the bridges (starting "harvey's in the sky with diamonds): double time (about 2/sec) or keep following the "heartbeat", whatever you need.
3: During the choruses (starting "come on baby, let's ride): bounce off and on the edge. Stroke slowly and edge in the middle of every line (so at "baby", "escape to", "wife", "out to" (x3))
4. After the end of the first and the third instance of the chorus ("come on, come on" until - the last "yeah") ride the edge as close as you can.
5. Free stroking (but no pausing!) from 2:28 to 2:53
6. Ride the edge out very slowly at the end, just like the music fades out.
After the edge holding, don't stop stroking but get back to the slow beats in the verse. You may stroke more lightly, but never stop.
