I didn't even understand 90% of MTWBT the first times tbh Wait so what does she say in Video Games?

And in Backfire she says..."Officer Brown's always coming around." OK, fair enough, it rhymes with downtown, lol. But imagine his name is Officer Ray Brown...conspiracy theory.

@@MermaidMotelle petition to make "Your Swan Song" a thing

omg @@Valentino I actually LOVE the idea of "It will be your swan song" for a murder ballad

FMWUTT IS STELLAR

The ethereal, gorgeously woozy title track "Honeymoon" leads us on a 65-minute blissfully opulent adventure. Del Rey's powerful yet subtle vocals make a seamless transition to the drastically different "Music To Watch Boys To", which starts with beautiful acapella singing and leads us into the pretty, yet disastrous life of a beautiful, man-loving woman. From there, we're introduced to the hypnotic, jazzy, and tragic "Terrence Loves You", which is a throw-back to 2012's "Blue Jeans", a mournful tale of loss and remembrance. "God Knows I Tried" paints a messy but subtly romantic portrait of a depressed socialite, with stellar vocals and unique instrumentals. The trap-beats on "High by the Beach" promise hours of radio play and closes with the powerful "Everyone can start again, not through love, but through revenge." "Freak" is a throwback to hit "Ride", a unique tale of Californian glamor with a loved guy. The most differing track, the unforgettable "Art Deco", documents the life of an empty party girl through impeccable trip-hop beats. "Religion" is a beautifully written, darkly romantic track, with powerful vocals, which melts perfectly into the dreamy, brilliant, operatic "Salvatore". "The Blackest Day" beguiles the listener with melodic tales of blue nail polish, firearms and vehicles, all into a 6-minute song that is tragic, soft, and strong all at once. "24" shows off her vocal abilities with subdued instrumentals for a Bond-song feeling. My personal favorite, "Swan Song", is thematically similar to "Freak", but at the opposite end at the spectrum vocally and instrumentally, with a similarly operatic feel as in "Salvatore", with significantly less mention of frozen treats. With the line "I will never sing again", she strikes fear into the hearts of her fans; however, the songstress has confirmed that she will in fact keep singing, meaning this is a beautiful metaphor for her infatuation with a man. "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" is a great cover of the classic Nina Simone, and a perfect way to close the masterpiece.

Hey! So, if you don't know your MBTI type, you can take the test online by Googling "MBTI test" (I would link it here but it wouldn't paste here for whatever reason). What songs do you think represent the type(s)? ISTP: Pawn Shop Blues ESFP: This Is What Makes Us Girls ENFJ: Carmen ISFJ: Without You ESTP: Off To The Races ENTJ: Money Power Glory ISFP: Salvatore I didn't use all 16 types for this...just the ones that sprung to mind (I'm an ISTP, for reference)

I want songs like Sad Girl, For K Part 2 beauties

I LOVE SWAN SONG!

1. For K Part 2 2. Drive By/Sirens/For K Part 1 (whatever tf it's called) 3. Dark Paradise

I love this song. I wrote in the color synthesia or w/e thread about it and here's the feeling I get from it: It's the middle of the night on a steamy hot Florida beach (YES I KNOW THIS IS CALLED WEST COAST, NOT EAST COAST, leave me alone) and then you stumble over the rocks and you get to a tropical forest. The dirt is cool beneath your feet. You smell cigarette smoke behind you and you see that gorgeous guy from the bar you were just at. You trip over your long dress and he laughs and helps you back up, you just start dancing randomly until the sunrise. Yeah.

OK well I don't have this but West Coast always sounded REALLY DISTINCTLY dark green, to me, with a hint of deep teal blue. I got that feeling from the very first listen. A kind of lush green with a tiny hint of blue. Like a humid but nice and cool forest in the middle of the night. I love it. Guns and Roses: Deep, deep greyish brown, almost black Florida Kilos: Grey Raise Me Up: Orangeish red Bel Air: light gold

I like TBD but I agree it's overrated

1. For K Part 2 2. Pawn Shop Blues 3. Mermaid Motel 4. Raise me Up (Mississippi South) 5. Put Me In A Movie 6. Brite Lites 7. Kill Kill 8. Smarty 9. Queen Of The Gas Station 10. Yayo 11. Oh Say Can You See 12. Jump 13. Gramma

Yeah, I don't get why people seem to hate the single Honeymoon...love it.

In my eyes I think it is Pawn Shop Blues for writing skills--but I still stand by Ultraviolence as being magnum opus under the definition.

AKA > Paradise > Honeymoon > Ultraviolence > BTD AKA has For K Part 2, Mermaid Motel, Put Me In A Movie, Pawn Shop Blues. Paradise has Bel Air, Cola, Blue Velvet. Honeymoon has SWAN SONG. UV has Cruel World, WC and Sad Girl. BTD has...nothing. OTTR is my favorite from it, but...

I ain't paying $145 for headphones with plastic flowers hot glued on

I'd have to say Ultraviolence, though it is not my personal favorite--that was when the critics REALLY loved her. I mean, they liked Video Games but mocked it as being overly indie, and BTD, same. But Ultraviolence, people recognized her raw talent, past the "indie" or whatever impression they had.

This is my favorite album of all time...every track a 10/10...though, to be fair, some songs are slightly better than others. 1. For K Part 2 2. Pawn Shop Blues 3. Mermaid Motel 4. Brite Lites 5. Raise Me Up 6. Put Me in a Movie 7. Smarty 8. Yayo 9. Oh Say Can You See 10. Queen of the Gas Station 11. Kill Kill 12. Gramma 13. Jump

AKA > everything, period.
