"Clair de Lune" is a poem written by French poet Paul Verlaine in 1869. The poem inspired a movement from French composer Claude Debussy, for his 1890 piano suite Suite bergamasque.
Association with Del Rey[]
Lana Del Rey interpolated the melody of the composition into her 2010 unreleased track "Bad Boy".
The song was prominently featured in the 2016 music video for "Freak". Del Rey's touring pianist Byron Thomas played the song as an interlude during her show at the Orange Warsaw Festival in Warsaw, Poland, on June 3, 2016, as part of the 2016 festival tour.[1] It was played after Del Rey performed "Freak".
