I'm crying right now, literally crying. I guess I've become too obsessed with this woman that at the thought of new music I go through breakdowns because It's going to be my anthem for the next year until she releases more.

PrettyBaby definitely deserves this one.

These lyrics make my life complete.

Really cool and nice person who I want to get to know better! And I feel tempted to check out the artist in their icon, (if that is a musical artist, I'm assuming?)

Okay, here's my unpopular opinion.
 
"Carmen" is the best song on Born to Die. If it wasn't for that song I probably wouldn't love Lana as much as I do right now. When I first heard that song, it gave me chills and the image of Felix Cane slowly dropping down the pole as Lana says, "Darlin' Darlin' Doesn't have a problem" is permanently embedded into my mind. "Carmen" is genius lyrically, proudction wise,and the music video is flawless. It's a brilliant song. I've read tons of comments on Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube and other websites that just really hate "Carmen" and wish it was kicked off of Born to Die, I could never picture that. "Carmen" just brings me into a David Lynch film, Laura Palmer's secret life, and even the production screams David Lynch for Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet. It's the one song from Lana that honestly blows me away every time I listen to it. I've replayed it nearly 800 times on my iTunes since I first heard it in May and just can't get enough. It's the one song off Born to Die I relate to, not because I'm a druggie or wild child, but it really experiments with the idea that everybody looks fine on the outside but really is crumbling apart early on in their lives.
 
It's just my view, "Carmen" will always be the song that saved Born to Die for me. Born to Die and Video Games took me over a month to get into.

Brand new video I made, "DISCO"

New Video - BOARDING SCHOOL : http://vimeo.com/49950587

Some people from my school who once thought she was a "boring, dead-sounding meth junkie" now messaged me, "OMG I'M OBSESSED WITH LANA DEL RAYY, OMG!! DIET MOUNTAIN DEW IS SOOO GOOD, AND VIDEO GAMES"
 
And I sit here thinking, "Mhm, now you say this."
 
I'm a trendsetter.

Fiona Apple's new album rocks. The only album I listen to a lot apart from Born to Die. Other than that, I listen to horror movie soundtracks, not much else.

Haha, just watched this for the first time, It's hilarious.
 
Adele: My depressing songwriting is unmatched.
Lana: Actually, that's bullshit.
 
I'm loving these videos.

To be honest, the people who leak the songs have no right to, but once they're out there for the public eye, the best thing a fan can do is appreciate it & Lana and not shun it because it's a leak.

I agree with Hello Heaven. At the same time she gets all this publicity, deals with Jaguar & H&M, highly-successful debut album, she still is practically under the radar for mainstream media platforms. I never see Yahoo! articles about her when I check my eMail except once post-National Anthem music video release. The only web articles I ever see about her are on British music websites, LA Times, and NME from what I've seen. Like, I've always hoped that when I watch "Entertainment Tonight" or some other show like that, they bring her up and how she was signed to promote/model for this company and released this music video, etc. etc. but no, all I see is stuff about Suri Cruise and blah blah and nothing actually about Lana despite the success she has gotten. It's really weird.

Agreed Coney Island King, the fact that Lana was up against some of these no-talent auto-tuned teeny boppers is an insult to her talent. I was rooting for M.I.A. to win Video of the Year but the reductive Rihanna Radioactive rip-off beat 'Bad Girls.' It's a joke Katy Perry beat Lana in one of the categories - Wide Awake has the cheesiest visual effects and the song is pure 100% auto-tune, how people are oblivious to how robotic it sounds is ridiculous. One Direction also shouldn't have won anything, that What Makes You Beautiful song robbed the chords from Greese and all they do is run around a beach in the music video. Chris "Woman-Beater" Brown won Best Male Video, so technically TONS of people around the world voted for that no-talent hack that beat a woman, nice to know how on-track our generation is with picking 'winners.'
 
Overall, the MTV awards are a joke. Those who won the categories shouldn't even get the trophies or prizes, it should go to their production teams who auto-tune their voice until it sounds decent and add extremely loud pop beats to drone out their lack of talent AND the directors of the music videos should get the trophies for every award, since we all know all those no-talent winners didn't come up with the concepts for them or anything else, all they did is stand there and look pretty.
 
My opinion.

I'll join, sounds like lots of fun.
