This is 900% the thread for me. WHERE TO START A lot of people already mentioned the live version of Million Dollar Man ((((the live performances made it 1 of my favourite songs so)))) I'll try to be logical in how these are grouped The "hey there" in Next To Me is great as well, it's so bright but also rly sad at the same time??? idk it fills me w/ emotion~~ I love how she sings "well you know it, and I know it" in A Star for Nick, idk if i'd even call it singing it's like she's talking and it's just rly pretty idk All You Need has probably my favourite line in the whole album "If you have visions come on and live them out." Amazing. Jimmy Gnecco is such a fun song, I love her vocal colour in it, it's so light and careless and happy "One, two, make it fun" in Kill Kill simultaneously made and ruined my life "A sway of the hips and arms will cradle you from afar" this whole verse is fantastic idk why but it's the best part of Oh Say Can You See hands down I love the way the drums basically drop out in the chorus of Jump ((also the clipped "do you- do you wanna")) The harmonies in the chorus of Mermaid Motel >>>>>>>>>>>>>> All of Raise Me Up (Mississippi South) I kid you not literally everything, even the title is one of my favourites, the "sixty nine million stars, birds are flying out of my mouth" "let me play with your new shot gun" "say nooooOoOooOo" and the last chorus where she's like shouting it. Chills, man Off to the Races has some gr8 moments, my favourites being when she giggles a lil bit when she sings "starlet, harlot" and obviously the line "sorry 'bout it" and the outro with "you are my one true love ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" is gr8 gr8 gr8 I love the chord progression in Blue Jeans. I love the line "love is mean and love hurts" I love the bridge The lil stutter she does on "n-now you do" in Video Games also there r some digital like noises in the second verse idk what to call them but they're gr8 The lil "doo" in Little Girls "Keep out the stars, turn out the lights, this little world is yours tonight" another amazing line by lana del ray aka lizzy grant from Smarty The piano part in MDM gets to me too, it's in 6/8 as well which is gr8 and the chord progression just all of it it's gr8 its an amazing song I can't go on enough about it and I know everyone hates the shouty samples but idk i think they work in that song just a+ really ALL OF RIDE I DONT EVEN CARE The opening couple chords of American is beautiful, it's so tranquil and wow just gr8 it gets me emotional when i hear it I love the synths in Body Electric, and the "I said don't worry bout it" "Me and God we don't get along so now I sing 'no one's gonna take my soul away'." Just stunning a+ lyrics well done lana The piano hook in Burning Desire idk what to call it and her heavy breathing ofc The demo of National Anthem (((the nexus one))) where she sings "sky" it has this...... quality I can't rly explain that is gr8 All the lil clipping in the second demo of TIWMUG, fantastic The screaming in the background of Big Bad Wolf (((at about 2:55))) that lasts until the end of the song that's autotuned and stuff, it's just a rly gr8 moment idk way, it turned a pretty bland emotionless song into somethin a little bit more excitin for me idk :~) "I'LL NEVER HAVE TO WORK CUZ MY DADDY IS RICH" (for real tho the way she shouts it is gr8) "I pray your life is sweet you fucker" and "oh my god" at the end of damn you >>>> Her voice is soooo rich in Backfire it's fantastic, especially in the chorus She sounds so emotional when she sings "I feel like I can do anything" in I Don't Wanna Go and it makes me cry, also the verse's melody is so ssoososos beautiful I can't get over it The bridge of Velvet Crowbar left me in shock, same with the outro, so much power and emotion in her voice and the production of it backs it up it's huge it's dramatic it's 1 of the best thigns ever the "no no no no no no no/don't don't don't don't don't don't don't" in Last Girl on Earth, the final chorus and the bridge, and the "oh"s before the prechorus and the "sometimes I get lonely millions can hold me now". One of my favourite songs ever rly. The actual hook "Don't tell me its over" is ridiculously catchy and so dramatic and why i wanted the song so bad in the first place and how there's that pounding chord at the end of the song as she sings "in the light you're SOOOOOOOOO beautiful" god bless "Men'll like a woman who JUST DONT NEED EM" in the DEMO of motel 6 is another amazing moment "I can't call him up" in Trash (Demo)/The Man I love ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( :~) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) is the whole reason I made The Man I Love so it has to be on this ridiculously long list In the version of On Our Way with the webcam vocals she sings "You tell me not to worry, worry, worry, because you're the boss" and it's honeslty one of the most beautiful things ever I wish it was in the final version The chord progression of Driving In Cars with Boys always brightens my day The prechoruses in Kinda Outta Luck >>> I think it's the guitar in Dum Dum?? Idk but it plays something sonically stunning The line "love me like your best friends did" seems so sad? And idk whether lyrically it should be so I'm p certain it's a musical thing, i think it's the way her voice inclines in pitch on the word "did" The chorus of ghetto baby "BROOKLYN MOVE MY SOUL LIKE THIS" is RIDICULOUSLY catchy like, who the hell writes songs like that?? Summer of Sam is a rly cute song, I love the radio-like sound/filter idk on her voice, and there's this gr8 synth in the chorus :~) idk its just a super fun song i love it C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-CAR in Is It Wrong? I love the outro of Butterflies Part 2 the strings the shouting of "sicko! psycho!" it's just a lovely song despite it's...........questionable lyrics And i THINK that's everythin I suppose this thread was "best" tho so if I'd have 2 choose my favourite moment it'd be ummmm #29 Yes definitely #29 the "no no no no no no no no/don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't" thing was fucked up in the best way possible It fucked me up in the best way possible

Smelling bowls and i don't think it's "true love's law" someone else posted "but true love's more than he can give" and it makes more sense n fits better so

Selling songs

"Having a drop-top bike ride time of our lives"? Oh and "Live young like we wanna die fast" And "O is for the only one I wanted to stay" and "How'd you love that? I think too much" in the rap verse

I put all my unreleased songs in fake albums, the only 2 with any like, theme tho, are Hollywood: Put the Radio On Hit & Run Prom Song (Gone Wrong) Boarding School Jealous Girl Big Bad Wolf Go Go Dancer Break My Fall Hollywood's Dead Damn You Fake Dimaond Backfire Bonus: Every Man Gets His Wish Bonus: Push Me Down Bonus: I Don't Wanna Go Bonus: Velvet Crowbar Bonus: Last Girl on Earth Hollywood's kinda like, the dramatic pop music album, i think, anyway i think it'd be fun. :~) On Our Way: On Our Way Driving in Cars with Boys Trash Magic (Miss America) Kinda Outta Luck You Can Be the Boss Hundred Dollar Bill Match Made in Heaven Children of the Bad Revolution Goodbye Kiss Heavy Hitter Money Hunny Dangerous Girl She's Not Me Bonus: Dum Dum Bonus: Puppy Love Bonus: Never Let Me Go Bonus: Take Me To Paris On Our Way is my fav it's like more guitar driven, lighter sounding and more summery, and I just rly like it out of Hollywood and On Our Way i feel like On Our Way would work better as a legitimate album (((maybe some rerecordings of Match Made in Heaven and Money Hunny tho))) Then I have Us Against the World, Summer of Sam and Miss America but they're all a bit weird and thoughtlessly done.

Hey i love things like this Roller coaster Last Girl on Earth: "I own all of Mexico and I got my own roller coaster" Diet Mountain Dew: "Maybe I like this roller coaster, maybe it keeps me high" Butterflies Part 2: "Puts them on a roller coaster Hundred Dollar Bill: "J is a romantic roller coaster" Late at night (???) Last Girl on Earth: "I stay up late at night try not to think about it" Bel Air: "Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night" Driving in Cars with Boys: "Come home late at night, my baby pick me up" Hurricane Playing Dangerous: "I'm in love in a hurricane" Noir: "She crazy, like, in every single way, like a hurricane you gotta get out of her way"

This is what I got for the lyrics: Standin’ on the rooftop, Just outta earshot, Lookin’ at this gangsta guy. Thinkin’ he’s a hotshot, Pourin’ me a big shot, Try’na get me drunk and high. He wishes to be seen with me, In his limousine, and he, Says we’ll have a real good time. Well, x-x-o, but I want you to know. Every single night, In the lights, I’ll be sparklin’ bright. I’m just a party girl, Try’na get my drinks, For free, from you. If you hold me tight, It’s alright, Let the fire ignite. Well, I’m a party girl, And I’m just warning you. You don’t get it, You just don’t get it, You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. Came tonight to put my, Work on display, Bringing New York down, To St. Tropez. You don’t get it, You just don’t get it, You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. (One), I won’t fall in love, (Two), I won’t ever stop, (Three), I’m partying all night, (Four), I’m gonna make it pop! Oh woah, oh woah, Oh-aye-aye. Oh woah, oh woah, Oh-aye-aye. Kissin’ on your white yatch, Show me what you got, got, Play a little rock ‘n’ roll. On an island hot spot, Maybe we should dot, dot, dot, (Lose control). Do you think it’s really mean, That I’m only on the scene, ‘Cause I want a little danger, boy? Well, x-x-o, but I told you so. Every single night, In the lights, I’ll be sparklin’ bright. I’m just a party girl, Try’na get my drinks, For free, from you. If you hold me tight, It’s alright, Let the fire ignite. Well, I’m a party girl, And I’m just warning you. You don’t get it, You just don’t get it, You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. Came tonight to put my, Work on display, Bringing New York down, To St. Tropez. You don’t get it, You just don’t get it, You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. (One), I won’t fall in love, (Two), I won’t ever stop, (Three), I’m partying all night, (Four), I’m gonna make it pop! Oh woah, oh woah, Oh-aye-aye. Oh woah, oh woah, Oh-aye-aye. Oh, it’s not about us, Just forget about us, tonight. Put your cigarette down, Baby, light up the town, beside me. Woah-oh-oh. (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh), You don’t get it, You just don’t get it. (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh), You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. You don’t get it, You just don’t get it, You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. Came tonight to put my, Work on display, Bringing New York down, To St. Tropez. You don’t get it, You just don’t get it, You’ve already forgetten, Even though I just said it. (One), I won’t fall in love, (Two), I won’t ever stop, (Three), I’m partying all night, (Four), I’m gonna make it pop!

"makes me wanna party" is probably my favourite line in the whole song. I think in general people seem to ignore the beauty of simplicity, yes the whole "praying to god to let my bad-boy-boyfriend come to heaven with me it's so pure and pretty" etc thing is definitely nice imagery, while we all wanna go pray for the everlasting souls of our hot bfs, simplying stating that you're so in love you wanna dance is literally more down-to-earth. Idk it's all down to taste (((: The "like diamonds" line is a weird unsatisfying end to the bridge though, I'll give you that.

Posted the lyrics on my blog earlier Mm, mm. I’ve seen the world done it all, Had my cake, now. Diamonds, brilliant, And Bel Air, now. Hot summer nights, mid-July, When you and I were forever wild. The crazy days, city lights, The way you’d play with me like a child. Will you still love me, When I’m no longer, Young and beautiful? Will you still love me. When I’ve got nothing, But my achin’ soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will. Will you still love me, When I’m no longer beautiful? I’ve seen the world, lit it up, As my stage, now. Channeling angels in, The new age, now. Hot summer days, rock and roll, The way you’d play for me at your show. And all the ways I got to know, Your pretty face and electric soul. Will you still love me, When I’m no longer, Young and beautiful? Will you still love me. When I’ve got nothing, But my achin’ soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will. Will you still love me, When I’m no longer beautiful? Dear Lord, when I get to heaven, Please let me bring my man. When he comes, tell me that you’ll let him in, Father, tell me if you can. All that grace, all that body, All that face, makes me wanna party. He’s my sun, he makes me shine, Like diamonds. And will you still love me, When I’m no longer, Young and beautiful? Will you still love me. When I’ve got nothing, But my achin’ soul? I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will. Will you still love me, When I’m no longer beautiful? Will you still love me, When I’m no longer beautiful? Will you still love me, When I’m not young and beautiful?

well unless she decides to randomly add some jealous girl type chanting i think we're good on the whole "it's sad" side of my argument

I don't know why Y&B is getting this much hate. I'm in love with the piano intro with the high violins playing that pedal, then the rest of the strings coming in with the vocals and the piano dropping out, and her vocals themselves are so solemn and sweet. The track sounds melifluous, it's soft and it's calm and I love it. I can imagine the bridge in the song (if there is one) sounding like I Dont Wanna Go's. The whole track sounds so geniunely sad, the "I know you will" line comes across as heartbrokenly desperate I can't get over it. And the melody of the "will you still love me" influencing what the piano plays at the start. It's a simple motif but if it's played right it could be used in a very moving way. idk maybe im just too hyped to think straight i just cant get over this track

"Love is mean and love hurts" is my all time favourite lyric i think Ugh and the way she delivers the line with like, venom and pain, oh god you can feel the angst like nothing else. (((Special mention to "sometimes I get lonely, millions can hold me now")))

hey thats me :~) This song is really murdering me right now, the vocals are so pure sounding I can't???? Do we know anything about the video other than the release date? I wonder what it will be like...

i don't hear it but i WANT to hear it can we just change it to a castration song anyway because that is all shades of right

I sing the Body Electric!!

i don't even know what i'm saying...

You can wear gold ASICS and you can wear ASICS and gold. I can hear both in the song, if more people are hearing "in gold" tho I'll change it right away.

They're pretty interchangable in terms of sound and the meanings don't change much. Anyone else here for ASICS in gold or am I leaving it?

Okay I changed it to dimebags + I'm sticking with tune because it just makes the most sense really between it and too.

Hush up, at least I put punctuation at the end of lines in mine smh you'd get such a poor grade in GCSE English wowowowow

Who said anythin about rhythm boo I was talkin in rhymes. Anyway yea I prefer tune, you can hear a definite "ooh" in the word so Also get your filthy insults to my transcribing methods away from me you'd be shitty too if you did this all at 3am on 5 hours sleep when u had to be up at 7 wowowow

The line doesn't complete because "and gold" don't rhyme with "basics" c'mon now And fine I'll change that 2whatever ur hearing provided you ain't bein weird.

you mean line breaks and commas This shit fits into an iPod perfectly with no breaks, I saw you hating on my Noir transcription too lord why r u always hatin

[[damn you by lana plays in the distance]]

Woo it just leaked idk if these are right but: C'mon. Baby we could go, Back to the basics. Trailer park love, Wearing them ASICS, And gold. I can speak Spanish, You can sing for the neighbours, You've been pretty stupid, Ever since you got famous. Uh-oh, uh-oh, wrong side, Of the tracks, boy. Uh-oh, uh-oh, if only, We'd go back, boy. 'Cause nobody does it like you, I like the way that you move, That's why I never go through, With leaving you. Everybody's sayin' that, You're not good for me. Your friends all swear, That you've changed but, I still keep it O.G. This tune could be a reminder, Of how it all used to be. So shut up, and come on, Sing our song. And let's go back to the basics. Let's go back to the basics, baby. Back to the basics, When you're not wasted, I know you'll see. Baby we could go, Back to the basics, (c'mon), We were best friends, Crazy and shameless in love. You can mow the lawn for money, I can make you playlists. You bought me dimebags, Felt like we were famous. Uh-oh, uh-oh, best I, Ever had boy. Uh-oh, uh-oh, can you, Remember that, boy? Nobody knew what we knew, We had it figured out too, Us against the world just, Me and you (ooh-ooh)! Everybody's sayin' that, You're not good for me. Your friends all swear, That you've changed but, I still keep it O.G. This tune could be a reminder, Of how it all used to be. So shut up, and come on, Sing our song. And let's go back to the basics. Let's go back to the basics, baby. Back to the basics, When you're not wasted, I know you'll see. We could drive forever, my baby, We could leave it all and never look back. If you wanted heaven, baby, Sit back in my pink cadillac. Everybody's sayin' that, You're not good for me. Your friends all swear, That you've changed but, I still keep it O.G. This tune could be a reminder, Of how it all used to be. So shut up, and come on, Sing our song. Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh. Everybody's sayin' that, You're not good for me. Your friends all swear, That you've changed but, I still keep it O.G. This tune could be a reminder, Of how it all used to be. So shut up, and come on, Sing our song. And let's go back to the basics. Let's go back to the basics, baby. Back to the basics, When you're not wasted, I know you'll see.
