A beautiful interview full of bullshit <3 No way i watch this shit...

Guys, you're not going to believe this, but -- you might wanna sit down -- guess what? COLA IS ABOUT ORAL SEX!!!!!

Oh, a video for the remix of Gesaffelstein <3 Nice videos!
Welcome here

she's my sonic and visual soulmate, so i make these. hi everyone

LOL @ her reasoning behind GQ, but I get it. I have some Playboy's from the 60's too.. pretty neat except there's more bush than the Australian outback
 

At least is not a Greek song

Can you just put all your unreleased songs on itunes so i can download them guilt free and collect them all please? Kthnxbi

Lana has said many times that she didn't expect to be so famous from all this, that she does it for herself and her fans, and if you actually stop and think about how much she hates touring and performing, it should be pretty obvious that she isn't going to sell out. I really can't believe how little faith some of you have in her.
 
:imbeingsarcasticbitch2:

I haven't listened to much of the new snippets-only American-and I'm completely fine with people's differing opinions and all, but reading this last bit really upset me. I think it's very disrespectful to Lana that you'd say she doesn't care about her music or the artistic value in it just because it didn't appeal to you. Maybe she is changing as a person, so she wrote in a different style or just wanted to experiment with sounds more on this rerelease? I don't know really, but it just makes me very sad to see you say she doesn't care because you don't like it. Personally, I think if she didn't care then she wouldn't have bothered making this EP, or having the Ride video be 10 minutes long. Idk, that actually really upset me so I'm just going to stop now.

Yes, it's insensitive to Native Americans because it's an exploited people's culture being appropriated by a person from the culture that exploited it.
 
But you guys are all missing the real controversy. Do you see how many fucking feathers are in that thing? How many birds were killed making that? Come on, Lana, I thought we were birds of a feather.
 
And to think I held up that tire swing for her the whole shoot with just my beak.

I can remember when Ben emailed me. Universal started screenshotting my twitter and my tweets, because they thought I was a leaker!

Don't be bad
Don't be bad
Don't be bad, babe
Don't be bad
Don't be bad, babe

You know what they say
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi
Can't you see yourself with me, hey?
Mansfield, Jayne
???
Bikini teasing, cheesecake posing, always on display

Moi je joue
Moi je joue à joue contre joue
Je veux jouer à joue contre vous
Mais vous, le voulez-vous ?
(x2)

When you went away
I was sad and grey
You were like sunshine brightening up my day
Je voudrais vous tester
And I'm not crying, I'm not waiting
I was born to play

Moi je joue
Moi je joue à joue contre joue
Je veux jouer à joue contre vous
Mais vous, le voulez-vous ?
(x2)

Je voudrais you to play with me, c'mon

Mon amour je t'adore
Rien n'est mieux que ce sport/soir
Je peux jouer toute la nuit
Mon p'tit je viens, je suis la vie
Ne me quitte pas, jamais
Sois mon homme s'il te plait
Toi et le soleil, pareil!
Pour moi, ooh let's play

Don't be bad
Don't be bad
Don't be bad, babe
Don't be bad
Don't be bad, babe

Moi je joue
Moi je joue à joue contre joue
Je veux jouer à joue contre vous
Mais vous, le voulez-vous ?
(x2)

I'm your vulgar darling in the swimming pool
Glimmering. you say that you're nobody's fool
I know that babe, I know that
But it doesn't mean you can't come in and get cool
Get cool (x4)

She puts controversial items in all her videos, she likes when it's extreme and deranged somehow.
In :
- Born to Die: the car crash/dead body scene
- Blue Jeans: fingers in the mouth scene
- National Anthem: the whole thing
- Summertime Sadness: suicidal tendency
- Ride: street walking, young girl/old men, headdress..
 
These are things that make her feel "electric", that make the video striking to the viewers, that leave a mark on us. Her videos are little parts of her, sometimes her message/images/lyrics are too personal for the outsiders to get it completely and cause controversy. She doesn't seem to care, she says what she wants to say, the way she feels it. That's what artists do, they're not always politically correct even though they should be careful.
 
That actually brings to philosophical questions: should artists be able to express themselves freely without boundaries? Where/what is the limit to art? Should art be censored because of its subject?...

I've been asked to talk about this experience by several people, and I'm deliriously tired from having just gotten home, but I'll try, although other people on the forum actually have, like, photographic evidence.
 
I made it into the first showing, and I was one of the last people. She was playing "Ride", which seemed like standard procedure for it's premiere, so I wasn't paying much attention. And then a new song starts and I hear the words "crystal meth", so I'm flailing and demanding how this can be happening. It was "American", and it's my understanding that before I arrived they played a lot more of the songs. I did record it, but you can clearly hear me talking at parts where I thought I was being quiet...I'll upload it anyway, if it won't get snatched off YouTube. Plus, I don't want to be ridiculed by desperate YouTube stans Distinct lyric: "Drive fast, I can almost taste it now."
 
So after "American", they introduced Lana Del Rey. She got onstage and laughed, you know the laugh. She said how grateful she was that she had all these fans who'd show up to an event that wasn't even a concert, and basically alluded to how the fans make it so much better in light of the backlash she's experienced. We all had a moment.
 
She then introduced the video with Anthony Mandler. She started making her way to the very back--where she sat watching it--but in the process was swarmed. Not even gonna lie, I made my way right into that cluster. She's so much more delicate than I ever imagined. Just how tiny her body is and how doll-like her face is. Mostly I kinda went "BLAGH LANA" and side-hugged her and caressed her hair. She's beyond stunning in person, even in jeans. Especially in jeans.
 
I'll tell you now so you don't get excited that all my attempts to get some personal Lana on Chance time were pretty much dashed--I asked for a signature twice and she only said that she couldn't, which was understandable because she was walking but DAMN. I'm such a dork, I just kinda reached out and touched her arm as she was walking by and she looked back at me. That's not the extent of our conversing, but I don't have any signatures or pictures.
 
The video. THE VIDEO. It's nearly indescribable, but I'll try. The whole time she's with a lot of skeezy men--like, three or four on different occasions. All older, rugged, ugly, and bikers. I really need you guys to see it because it's so good. Of course I have some bias, having seen it projected in a theater, but cinematically I think it's her best. NO INSTAGRAM FILTERS ON THIS ONE, THANK GOD. In short, she's partying in the desert with some bikers, straddling several dudes in the sand and pointing guns at them, indeed swinging on this mysterious tire swing, hanging out at a gas station, playing pinball with a biker sort of spooning her, getting into a car like a prostitute. It's Americana, it's trash, it's beautiful. It's Lana. What can I say? It's exquisite. She's on all fours for the ending monologue--by memory, I really loved that part, and also one part in the desert where she's wearing an Indian headdress. Bits of the video keep rushing back to me. The part where she is holding the flag, like in the promo photo, is so beautiful. I need to watch it again. There's so much to love about this video, I wish I could eloquently describe it all. It'll be all of ours to enjoy soon enough, but if you can--get that shit HD projected somewhere I cried. I cried my fucking eyes out.
 
Afterwards came the Q&A. I'll try to pick out the meaningful stuff. Someone asked what inspired the song "Ride", and she said that she was a lot more excited at the beginning of her career than she she was in the middle or even now--a clear reference to her backlash and trying to deal with fame, if you ask me. She said that's what she loved and preferred in her downtime--"riding motorcycles...and men :haha: "
 
She's touring early next year, although she expressed her hatred for the idea and said she'd rather take us all to hang out on the boardwalk on Sunday. GODDAMN SHE IS SO CUTE.
 
I can finally answer the question "what would you say if you met Lana?" Anthony Mandler chose me, seeing my desperation clear across the room, and I said, "Can you talk about why you re-recorded 'Yayo'...and some other songs from the album?" There was a general "ooh" of agreement, I noticed, but NO--I didn't ask about Jimmy Gnecco. NO--I didn't ask about unreleased material. Still, it wasn't THE shittiest question, right? Anyway, she said she liked the song because she considers it something of a jazz standard and it can go all in one take, but she didn't like how it turned out originally. So, yeah, stans...we're all WRONG in loving that song :creepy: And then I thanked her very much and sat down, although I was hoping she'd talk about an emotional connection to the song and give me some discreet Lanalysis material, not gonna lie. Please be happy with me, forum.
 
Someone asked if she had any plans for "Never Let Me Go" and she said, "It'll probably live on YouTube, like all the other leaked material!"
 
Someone asked if she is dating anyone, and she said yes.
 
She said she was misinterpreted when asked about quitting music and the Vogue Australia interview. She said she meant doing music for films, not acting in them. When pressed, she said that she thought the Paradise Edition was much better than Born to Die and was basically really happy with it. I'm hoping that means she's optimistic, not that she's said what she had to say.
 
Someone asked if she had any advice for budding singers, and she basically said that your expectations will never live up to your imagination. I thought that was kinda sad.
 
She said she is best at being a passenger on a motorcycle
 
After that, I went and waited in an alleyway to meet her. Other folks saw the video multiple times (damn I wish, I could've heard some more Paradise tracks) and spent their time wisely. Me, I waited and waited for her for hours. I met some pretty cool people, but at the end of the day her management wouldn't allow her to do a meet-and-greet, according to the staff of the theater. (CURSE YOU, BEN MAWSON!) That said, I waited until the very end. Me, my driver, and our three new friends were the last five people waiting in front of the theater in case she came back, not exaggerating. But she didn't. I'm pretty bummed about that, but not as much as I anticipated...like, I touched her, and she recognized my stan worship for "Yayo", and I saw the most amazing video ever on a giant screen, and I have the monologue printed out all pretty and I'll for sure frame it.
 
It was a great night. I can't wait for you guys to see the video. I don't think anyone will be disappointed. I truly don't.

He already sang some bodies electric with "Birthday Sex", though...

HD ya'll

You don't understand the amount of lives I'd sacrifice to have it right now.
 
I wrote up some lyrics -
 
"Ride"
I've been out on that open road
You can be my photon, daddy, white and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my photon, baby, hot and cold
 
"Cola"
My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola
My eyes were wide like cherry pies
I gots a taste for men who are older
It's always been, so it's no surprise
 
"American"
You made me crazy, you made me wild
Just like a baby, scream your name like a child
Your skin so golden-brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
 
"Gods and Monsters"
In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel
Living in the Garden of Evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon
You got the medicine I need
Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
 
"Bel Air"
Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate
[???] told me to wait, but I can’t wait to see you
So I run like I’m mad, to heaven’s door

Love the album cover.

Love the album cover.

Welcome to LANALYSIS, where we get real unhealthy in our obsessions and absolutely revel in it.

This is a project I've been maintaining for a while now--Lana + Analysis...get it? The basic purpose is to relate every one of her songs (that's right, every last one of them) to her known and assumed relationships. Not a stone is left unturned. Privacy is violated. The fans rejoice. Mind you, it’s all pure speculation, but ~this is what makes us stans~

It’s pretty long but an interesting read, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it in all it’s updated glory, and I will continue to update as new information is revealed and new songs come out. I will also be adding pictures, sources, etc. Stay tuned!

Let’s get started!



EARLY RELATIONSHIPS (1985 - ~2005)



LOCAL ROCKSTARS (~2005 - 2009)



YOU MADE ME NICE FOR A WHILE (2009 - 2011)



POST-BREAKTHROUGH (2011+)



IN THE LAND OF DISCREPANCIES



ADVANCED LANALYSIS



IN SUMMARY..

Lingering questions…
- Who the fuck is K?
- Who the fuck is Ray?
- Who the fuck is Bill? Is Bill really K? Does Bill matter at all?
- What significance do cars play? She mentions eight in total (white Corvette, white Pontiac, blue Chevy Nova/Chevrolet, Cadillac convertible, Mercedes, pickup truck, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron)
- When was she/who was she with in New York City and New Jersey? Ditto LA? Most mysterious and pressing, her time in the South?
- Did she have a fling with Bradley Soileau?
- Did Chris C. matter enough to her for her to write songs about him?

Assumptions Made:
- Lana was a gogo dancer.
- K is a drug dealer/murderer, dead or on death row.
- Jimmy is her ex-fiancé, addicted to cocaine despite a Wikipedia page stressing how healthy he is, associated with Chevrolets.
- Much of Sirens is about completely different relationships.
- She fucked Bradley.
- Mike controlled her career but their relationship wasn’t associated with anything fucked up like drugs or stripping.


Thanks for reading! I crave both your feedback and theories! This remains a forum collaboration and I don't claim to have the final say on Lanalytical manners.

For the sake of believability, I'm always hunting receipts, and currently:
- The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games"
- The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean.
- The interview where she talks about meeting her boyfriend in rehab and being dazzled by his small-scale celebrity.

Everyone from home says that you’re so cool

With American flags on each little finger
You’re crashing on Wall Street while I’m blowing up as a singer

Educated in the language of doin’ it

You thought that I was just a calendar kitten
But now you heard me purrin’, tiger, you’re smitten
So let’s begin to major in the art of sinning

Come on everybody to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you’re so cool

Get down, get down…
