Television Heaven

why do you say that it's a beautiful song I actually motorboated someone while in the background Lana was singing "Every now and then the stars align boy and girl meet by the great design could it be that you and me are the lucky ones" and it was wonderful, it's one of my fondest memories 

What I find so interesting is that the music of this album doesn't fit the time it was released...this album doesn't feel like it was recorded in 2008 or released in 2010 while electronic music and Adele & Rihanna were topping the charts
 
This album is not just from another era but another universe

I wanted to put together the three others I had in mind but I just finished this one and really like how it turned. Blue Hydrangeas, so original I know but I love them so I had to put them in. Hope you guys like it
 

Elizabeth Grant's debut album Lana Del Ray, also known as Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant, was released five years ago! The album, released by indie label 5 Points Records, was produced by Grammy winner David Kahne (Paul McCartney, Regina Spektor, Tony Bennett, etc). Lana Del Ray is a sexy, dark and moody combination between indie rock and indie pop with blues, jazz and electronica influences, making it her most diverse record. The first track, "Kill Kill", sets the mood of the whole album — a creepy, melancholic, tropical fantasy with weird lyrics such as "I'm in love with a dying man." Beginning with the indie rock thing, "Queen of the Gas Station" is an up-tempo song about wanting a simple but at the same time romantic relationship. "Oh Say Can You See" is a great proof that Lana Del Rey can sing. The super melancholic, blues-influenced ballad features one of her best vocal performances; you really can feel the pain and loneliness in her voice, especially when she cites one of Nirvana's classics, "Come As You Are". The mid-tempo electronica track "Gramma" is a lyrical masterpiece and its sound is just magical with those accordions and trip hop drums. "For K, Pt. 2" is one of Lana's sexiest songs ever. With a jazzy blues rock production and a marvelous chorus, "For K, Pt. 2" is, clearly, a highlight. "Palm trees in black and white, last thing I saw before I died" may be of the most popular lines between her fans. "Jump" feels powerful and probably cinematic because of that simple yet incredible line. The jazzy "Mermaid Motel" is Lana Del Ray's darkest, sexiest, weirdest, most mysterious and well-produced track. The lyrics are just incredibly exotic and the progressive production makes it even creepier. Truly a masterpiece. "Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)" is an amazing indie rock piece about feeling the power to "talk what you want" and "how you want". After this sonic monster, "Pawn Shop Blues"' first chords take you to a different place — a different side of the artist and the album where everything is just calm, extremely sad or melancholic and sincere, with painful lines such as "It's nice to love and be loved but I'd rather know what God knows." Along with "Mermaid Motel", "Brite Lites" is another super weird song about, probably, breaking up. The most Lolita-inspired song on Lana Del Ray, "Put Me In a Movie" features one of the loveliest melodies and vocal performances, which is just creepy since she's singing "Come on, you know you like little girls." The production is incredible, too. "Smarty" is Lana Del Ray's "Fucked My Way Up to the Top" — sexy, shady and clever, but this one is probably better. The bridge is, without a doubt, an album's highlight. The last song is the fan-favorite "Yayo", a super romantic, sad, cinematic stripped-down ballad with one of her best lyrics ever. Everything about this song is perfect; the emotion in her voice, the atmospheric production, the piano and the amazing "Hello, Heaven" part. "Yayo" defines what Lana Del Rey is — sonically, lyrically and thematically. Surely one of the best masterpieces.

I can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in midsummer
You saw me waiting
I was crazy on fire
Waiting to fly
I can fly
 
I had bright wishes in the summer
I was bathing in sunlight
Painting in the garden
Like a ghost in mid-July
Running fast from something
With my eyes wide like saucers
Spinning in the sun
 
I had a dream that I was fine
I wasn't crazy
I was divine
 
I can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in midsummer
You saw me waiting
I was crazy on fire
Waiting to fly
I can fly
 
Your lies were hard kisses in the summer
I was dreaming of a lake
Dreaming of the water
Where I'd rise like a Phoenix
Or an iron from the fire
I've got things to tell you
Like I know that you're a liar
 
I had a dream that I was fine
I wasn't crazy
I was divine
 
I can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in midsummer
You saw me waiting
I was crazy on fire
Waiting to fly
I can fly
 
You words cut like a knife in butter
I was fighting for my art
Fighting with my lover
 
You had me so tied up
Thinking there's no other
Yeah, right
Yeah, right
 
I can fly
You had me caged up like a bird in midsummer
You saw me waiting
I was crazy on fire
Waiting to fly
I can fly
 
 
 
She definitely has some more mature lyrics throughout this song, but still manages to incorporate some of what she's used to writing about. This and Big Eyes give off a lot of imagery and I really like it.

Full lyrics
 
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
 
I saw you creeping round the garden
What are you hiding?
I beg your pardon
Don't tell me nothing
 
I used to think that I could trust you
I was your woman
You were my knight and
Shining companion
To my surprise my love's demise
Was his own greed and lullabies
 
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
 
I noticed you got hot in summer
You had no comfort
Your shirt was cotton
Your face was sunburned
You paced around like you'd been waiting
Waiting for something
Your world was burning
And I stood watching
As I looked on the flames grew high
You watched me from
I said goodbye
 
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies
 
Is it me was I wrong to have trusted you
Did I see what I wanted what wasn't true
Was I wrong to go on like a little fool
It's amazing what women in love will do
 
With your big eyes
And your big lies
With your big eyes
And your big lies

Thought I'd make an edit associated with the current rumours that Black Beauty will be released as a single and a Remix EP. Hope you enjoy x

*You will need to have iTunes installed on your computer and have the album "Ultraviolence" bought directly from the iTunes Store (You can get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ultraviolence-deluxe/id880747579) or have the album in AAC M4A format. MP3 files won't be played by the iTunes LP.
Enjoy!

Take our money, Lana 

Ok, so I realized that many of the AKA songs started with the ending of the previous songs and it was really bugging me. So, with the resources I had, I edited all the songs so you don't hear the previous song. I also made the songs the same length as the original iTunes version and added "℗ 2009 5 Points Records".
You can download it here: http://lana-aka-lizzy-grant.tumblr.com/post/92822875256/lana-del-rey-a-k-a-lizzy-grant-album-edit

Love to hear what you think!

"Dear Alex"   

Some of you will be hugely disappointed when they find out that this album has zero to do with the novel / movie

and it won't. People were taking this way too literal anyway.
