I was waiting for @PARADIXO to post the last song, Born To Die, but probs been busy all day.
Born To Die and its video is honestly iconic. It sucks that I was first introduced to the song by a remix but when I actually listened to it and watched the video in all of its glory, I fell in love. Actually. It was like the Bel Air scene of Tropico and I was being beamed up by Lana herself I'm being extra af but I love this song, this video, the aesthetics and... this album.
Happy half-a-decade birthday to Born To Die, the album that changed my life. It made me realize how much I love music and how much I can connect to just one artist.

The opening strings on BTD still get me, regardless of how many times I've listened to this song.
Truly, honestly, definitely iconic
BTD cured my acne. When will your dermatologist? (And Lana isn't even a dermatologist)

One of her most beautiful songs ever. I know it's called Summertime Sadness, but it makes me happy haha. It's fascinating to me how she managed to write a song that is catchy enough to get stuck in your head, but that you still don't get tired of listening to. I'm glad that it was so successful all over Europe (the original, not that sh*tty remix America apparently needed to appreciate it) because, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, Summertime Sadness and later on Blue Jeans turned me into a Lana fan.
My favorite part is "Got my bad baby by my heavenly side/I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight", her vocals sound so beautiful there. Also, I think the extended radio mix should have replaced the album version; with that gorgeous outro, it would have been the perfect closing track for the album.

I love this song so much, one of the best on Born To Die. I've seen many fans look down on it just because it's her most popular but either way it's beautiful, especially the bridge

“Summertime Sadness”
“I realized that she was a brilliant songwriter and a magical artist,” said Rick Nowels on the process of “Summertime Sadness” – “She writes the kind of music I want to listen to”.
The duo met in summer 2011 and they’ve composed some of the finest pieces in Lana Del Rey’s career. Most of the time, Lana writes the words and Nowels works on chord progressions. “I could hear the chords to songs from a young age, so I would always figure out how to play songs that I liked,” he says. In 2013, a remix by Cedric Gervais made the song globally popular, making “Summertime Sadness” Del Rey’s highest charting single to date. At first, she was okay with it. “I didn’t know I could dance to my music,” she said to NYLON. However, during a show in Las Vegas, Lana publicly expressed her negative feelings towards the remix.
Its music video, one of her most popular to date, features Lana and Jaime King as a suicidal couple. The storyline was controversial enough to gain attention from both critics and the general public. The focus, however, shouldn’t be the suicide itself – “It's about not being able to live without the one you love,” King explained.

Million dollar man is most definitely born to die's most underrated track...It's my favorite live performance track, it's just amazing how much power she puts into the chorus it's absolutely amazing.

This is such a beautiful song. One of my favorites. AND THIS IS MY FAVORITE PERFORMANCE. The passion "I'm finally ready to go" changed the song into an argument. If Lana was gonna go jazz I was hoping she would have went the direction of this song. I love this song a lot.

Million Dollar Man was the first song on album that fully caught my attention and made me love Lana.
Also I'm still living in hope that Bond producers will use it as movie theme song one day. It's not new but it's still fresh and has great potential...
