I like Lana Del Ray/Rey AKA Lizzy Grant so much more than Born to Die. I feel like Born to Die is very "packaged" with it's sound and presentation. AKA just feels so natural in many aspects, it just flows better. Born to Die on the other hand just sounds overproduced on a whole.

i bloody love delicious

I don't know though... It's hardly my favorite, but I admire the way she makes it sound like the typical radio-friendly pop song... and then gives it a TWIST ("I pray your life is sweet, you fucker")! And I do like the melody

I'm delicious.

Kinda Outta Luck is her best up-tempo song in my opinion.

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.

Agreed -- I've yet to find a live version of "Blue Jeans" whose line "make my eyes burn" doesn't make me cringe. (The studio version is so perfect, though!)

Pretty sure she only made them private so she could still watch them but the public couldn't... Obviously

I admire the fact that she names Britney Spears as one of her influences.

I've never listened to this artist (artists) before but i hear good things.
does anyone have songs that they'd recommend to someone who hasn't listened to bjork before?

The live performances of that song are so cute. Especially her dolphin noise or whatever it's called 
Greatest Hits wouldn't be a bad place to start.

thanks! ill download these too!

her voice in the beginning of Brite Lites tho is heaven
 
"I'm taking of my wedding ring..."

Greenwich, Summer of Sam, Disco, Let My Hair Down, Is It Wrong?, Television Heaven and
SAD GIRL

Other Woman

I'd be happy if it has a mix between AKA and Ultraviolence.
Hell I'd love some rock/blues tracks.....like the way Led Zeppelin did.

This is exactly why YGLM remains my favourite song ever and will probably always be. Thank you so much for putting it in such beautiful words. This song is an anthem to everything I long for. She wanted her fame so hard and even though it's not necessarily what she thought it was, even though in the case of this video she wasn't crying of happiness, even though in interviews she particularly insists how even though she wanted success more than anything but the music she makes is for herself and even though as you said she made some questionable choices, she is the greatest inspiration I can think of and that's what drew me to her in the first place. I'm of course speaking as a stan but I absolutely do not think the fact that the best things that have happened to me, and on top of everything me being accepted in the course of my ultimate dreams because I'm grinding every day to put visuals on her music, is a coincidence. I love Lana because even though we are lightyears of difference apart I relate to her more than anyone I've met before and her passion, her dedication and her very simple blind faith in her success and confidence what she's doing is just the greatest example. If as a fan I don't necessarily appreciate certain songs or decisions I know that she does and at the end of the day this is the biggest achievement. Maybe she didn't knew it would come this big, but she certainly wanted it, and she believed in it, and fucked my way up to the top or not this raging will to make it is the best gift she gave me. I love her and I'm proud of her and I'm grateful above everything else and even if one day I'm 40yo and I don't love her or her music as I love her now I will look back and realize I've accomplished all my dreams because she was there when nobody else was

i have them all saved in a bookmark folder on my computer but i just never watch them haha. I've only seen a few. I DID WATCH TROPICO MULTIPLE TIMES THO!
 
awe! that's awesome though <3 I have soooooooo many bookmarked live performances but i never watch haha but i download the songs and listen to live versions all the time.
 
the awkward moment when you sing the "live" version of her songs while a recorded version is playing is what gets me. haha

i find this "illuminati" tinfoil hat conspiracy shit pretty offensive. as someone that's actually suffered some pretty traumatic shit, throwing around comments blatantly saying 'lana's father is abusive and her MK super ultra handler' and shit like that really gets on my nerves.
