'The Blackest Day' is a song recorded by American recording artist Lana Del Rey for her album Honeymoon (2015). It was written by Del Rey and Rick Nowels, and produced by Del Rey, Nowels and Kieron Menzies.
Often praised by critics for its melancholic lyrics and dreamy instrumental, the track is often considered a standout track from the record. Since its release, several publications such as Billboard and NME have ranked the song as one of Del Rey's best.
Background[edit]
'The Blackest Day' is a post-breakup ballad[1], that follows the stages of grief, the first verse touches up themes of denial, notable in lyrics such as 'I don't really wanna break up, We got it going on'. The is followed by angrier tones in the bridge: 'You should've known better, than to have, to let her, get you under her spell of the weather'. This stage is followed by bargaining in the second verse: 'Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come/Just put your hands up in the air, the radio on', before Del Rey reaches the point of acceptance in the outro: 'I'm on my own again'.[2]
The song also noticeably references her previous songs 'National Anthem' and 'Burning Desire' with the lyrics 'Wind in my hair'.
Composition[edit]
Lana Del Rey Instruments
A ballad, the song is influenced by jazz, rock and trap genres with references to American jazz singer Billie Holiday accompanied by electric guitars and rolling snares from a drum machine. The verses are stripped back, featuring guitar playing over a bass synth as drums slowly build towards a more heavily produced chorus. The chorus includes layered background vocals to add to the instrumentation as well as synth strings and a harp. After the final chorus, the song crescendos into an outro that ends with Del Rey repeating 'I'm on my own again'.[3]
Lyrically, the song is about the heartbreak of a lover leaving. The track runs at 6 minutes and 5 seconds, making it the longest track on the record, with approximately 108 beats per minute in the key of F♯ minor.
Release and promotion[edit]
The song has never been performed live in its entirety. On August 10, 2018 in Budapest, Hungary, Del Rey performed a snippet of the song a cappella per audience request during the LA to the Moon Tour.
