Lana Del Rey prefers 'experienced men' who "know what they love"

Sultry songstress Lana Del Rey has revealed that she enjoyed shooting her music video for 'Ride' because she got to spend time with older, more experienced men and enjoyed being in the company of headstrong people.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1 about the video, which features a real-life motorcycle gang, she explained that it was all very comfortable and natural to her, which made the visuals more enchanting:

"It was my style, It was very comfortable. I love men who have experienced a lot of life and know what they love, and they've done it all and totally get it. They've lived their lives and have good energy."

"The guys in the video were Las Vegas natives and it was fun to have them, it was the right mood."

Del Rey added that portraying a sense of freedom so truthfully was important to her for the song and the video, and she had one of "the best experiences ever" working on it:

"It was absolutely one of the best experiences ever, we got to go to Las Vegas, everyone was with me, my brother and sister, my road family."

"I just spent two days on motorcycles with this crew that had ridden together for 15 years between Detroit and LA, so I talked to them and it was exciting for them to show everyone what their world is like, and to express their version of freedom, that was good."
