Why does everyone who says the chorus lyrics to Sad Girl are repetitive refuse to acknowledge the actual beginning of the chorus?
 
"He's got the fire and he walks with it
He's got the fire and he talks with it
His bonny on the side, bonny on the side
Makes me a sad, sad girl
His money on the side, money on the side
Makes me a sad, sad girl"
 
The whole chorus isn't just 'I'm a sad/bad girl'

and I just had another thought 
 
As Lana is so strongly connected to these buzzwords which go into her music or become album titles, I feel like that can be hindering to writing a song sometimes.
 
Like I was never a fan of the song Ultraviolence, I don't like the lyrics. it sounds like she named the album and THEN wrote a title track, so the song would kind of be limited to having to include that word or whatever and I feel like that is the same for Honeymoon. Born To Die was totally different as the song had already been written and all these other album titles were floating around her head, and that song is definitely one of her best. 

For me, it's Lanas number one song. A true masterpiece..

Wow, I really didn't think I would like it this much. Sure, the lyrics are a bit underwhelming, but the song is so beautiful and Lana's delivery so great that she could have sung pretty much anything without it bothering me. I'm also astounded by the fact that the "dark blue"-line turned out to be my favorite part of the whole song, really didn't see that coming 

Checked the thread from 2012. Back then we had "only" 86 songs to choose from (and we were still whining over how hard it was  ). Now, approximately 2 years later, that number has grown to almost 200. Gives you perspective on how privileged this fanbase is, even though it may sometimes seem like ages between interesting news/events.
 
Also, we had 54 votes last year. Only 18 now? Come on people don't be so lazy 

I pray to god we won't get an album full of songs cowritten by Dan Heath and produced by Emile... That would seriously be the most boring think on earth.

Kill Kill > Ride > Cruel World > Born to Die

Ok, I just....Ok,...lemme try one more time. Of course it is not important to you in terms of your own pleasure. When the music sucks, it sucks. Promo doesn't make it better. Nobody is denying it.
However, when the music is great, you would want to hear more music from this artist in the future that is on the same level, right? Therefor this music needs exposure, so that further releases don't fall short, because it needs to sell well.
Besides, you would certainly enjoy this artist performing these songs live, because you love the music and you get excited seeing it performed, right? There is just a positive feeling seeing your fave on the screen singing. Or playerd on the radio when you drive to your workplace? You'd also love to see great visuals that the song deserves because it's sad when the visuals of a great song suck, right? Because it doesn't do it justice. And guess what, great visuals need money. It also isn't a bad thing to see other people reacting in a positive way towards it, because we are human after all. We love being part of something that gets recieved well and to say to ourselves: ha, ma girl. i was rooting for her from the start.
 
We shall all root for Lana and hope to see as much as possible from her, cause she is our favourite artist. 
 
Because if we don't, I haven't seen a stranger fanbase than this one. Not wanting to see their fave often, performing, being liked and do commercially well as a reward for the hard work they put into the work.

What a great thread, can't believe I'd missed it. The problem is that it's dangerous for me to start thinking about these sort of things because I tend to get so obsessed.. Had to stop myself after 4.5 h of straight listening to favorite musical moments, as my life beside Lana Del Rey suddenly called for attention.
 
Anyway, here are my (at the moment, at least) top 20 Lana Del Rey musical moments:
 
 
 
 
I hope that at least someone has the energy to read and consider this list, since it took FAR to long to finish it

There needs to be a happy medium. I don't want her being like some of the pop stars we have today who are desperate for attention and sales, but I also don't want her to just drop an album and forget about it. You can focus on the music over sales and still make nice videos, give interviews, and perform on TV a couple of times. Her sold-out tour is also a nice step in the right direction.

Kill Kill 

They should revive MTV Unplugged just for her though    Like a 90s rock style set
