Lana Del Rey has premiered her new music video for forthcoming single 'National Anthem'.

Del Rey's new cut continues to sell her vintage video style. She plays the First Lady to the President of the United States in a JFK-style story in which the president is killed by a gunman.

Tinged with the same kind of melancholy that only Lana can create, the video paints a difficult love story in nostalgic, subdued tones before her love is killed. You have to feel sorry for Lana; her nightmarish luck with relationships seems to be never-ending.

Watch the video for 'National Anthem' below.
