Ultra Violet

Wait, you detest dark paradise?Idk why people hate it, like i agree its not her best song but its still beautiful. I like it way better than the lyrics of Without You and Radio anyway. The "I got the ice, you got the fire" one? That's my favourite lana demo <3_<3 way better than the album dark paradise

I was talking about the music videos only But yeah brain is my second favourite song, gemini feed is still first for both video and song

Idk what you're all on about, I love this Trainwreck video. It depicts how the music industry tries to control her and make her like all the other mainstream muscicians, but in the end she refuses. Of course its going to be a faster pace than her other videos cause its her fastest song. If she did a slow video you'd be like WTH NOPE!??? Gemini Feed is still going to be my favourite but this one is a close second. I like this even more than FWMS and Brain.

Without you and radio are the silliest songs on BTD and lucky ones should have replaced radio on the track list instead of being an extra

It was Born To Die that got me into more 'pop'indie music (I was only into rock and metal before that hahah) and from there onwards, my music horizon broadened so much, I am lost for words when people ask "what music do you listen to?". So i will forever love this album and all the songs on it. There was not one song that didn't captivate me. Congratulations Lana, Emile, and all the other people who worked on this album. BTD is the 2010's bible of music, which paved the way for the chapters of Paradise, Ultraviolence, Honeymoon, and her upcoming album too.

OH MY GOD ive already posted in here but I just remembered a dream from June 2013. I'd known Lana's music for about a year, but I was going on a road trip and would have no internet or reception so I downloaded all her songs i didnt have, including pre-born to die, so that i could get to know all of them in the 2 weeks i was away. During this time, I started to realise the themes in each of her songs and really feel her pain and confusion about life, since I'd been through some my own recently. And I had this dream that I turned on the TV and it was like : "Lana Del Rey, 27, dies the night before her birthday in a tragic Hotel room fire in Los Angeles" And this actually was the day before her 28th birthday, June 20th 2013. And I went through this realisation that she did it purposefully to die while she was 27 (make it to the 27 club...). I was actually really worried it was true for the next week because we had no internet or TV or anything to check. I was relieved when we finally got to a town with phone reception that there was no recent news on her.

That is definitely something to think about... Though the singer in this sings very different, they sing in the same range, but edited it could sound more like lana

Im seein this now

I think Ultraviolence overall is Lana expressing her wants and what she thinks about most + a bit of 'freedom' and powerful statements The songs Cruel World and Brooklyn Baby are her expressing how she is free and empowered, despite others bringing her down and misunderstanding her. West Coast, Old Money is about her love (her wants/desires) Old Money, Sad Girl is about her longings (what she thinks about a lot) Fcked My Way Up 2 the Top is a statement (joke) like Money Power Glory Ultraviolence, Pretty When You Cry are about her relationships gone wrong and being neglected/treated unfairly (obviously whats on her mind a lot) The bonus tracks dont really fit in with these themes, which is probably why she made them extras

Ur Girl (3 years) & Sad Girl (kinda think that Sad Girl was a reworked version that made the Ultraviolence tracklist instead of Ur Girl And I sort of think Fine China and Yes to Heaven sounds like Is This Happiness and I Can Fly. No specific parts, just overall. Playing Dangerous chorus reminds me a lot of West Coast chorus Angels Forever and Ride obviously Starry Eyed sounds a bit like a very slow Million Dollar Man and then the Lucky Ones chorus

Yeah cause i listened to the original (Id actually heard it a while ago but didnt recognise it from the live version) and yeah the live one is also something lana would do live as a surprise. even if she doesnt ever do it i just hope she hears it one day, we all know shed love it ^_^

OH MY GOD i think that is the perfect fairytale movie for Lana to contribute to. Oh please oh please oh please EDIT: ok so its apparently unlikely and the position is already taken ugh. ALSO remember when we all thought the new video (filmed last year) was going to be for Terrence Loves You? A video for that would have been beautiful but we're anticipating this new album way too much for a honeymoon finale now. Hahahaha.

Omg literally, vocals, music style, and lyrics wowwwowowow And it also sounds a little like Swan Lake theme (the strings) and she often gets her inspiration form iconic things like that

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THESE im in love i always look for voices like this, like Lana, and Cat Power Found this one too and its totally her vibe I like this, its sorta grungy, like the 90s and early 2000's.

Isn't Rick Nowels back to produce this with her? As well as Emile Haynie? I think this is gonna be a huge big surprise to us omg *heart eyes*

The blackest day physically breaks my heart And angels forever makes me feel more pure

I do not see how. Discussing this in other topics would be off-topic to those threads.... Here is just a place to talk about changed opinions all in one spot so we don't have to go searching through every single thread to find out on occasion....

That's exactly what I used to think about video games

So maybe some of you like me have had opinions that have changed about Lana over the years so im just gonna mention mine: and TELL ME ABOUT YOURS! Its so interesting how our opinions change ----------------------------------- I used to hate the Paradise album art. I thought she looked too fake tanned, and that she was wearing extensions, so it was too fake for my liking, but now i think its pretty artful and beautiful. Its like her idea of heaven. ----------------------------------- I didn't like National Anthem, or Off to the Races, when i first heard them because i didn't like anything that was similar to rap music back then, but now i love them, they're my favourites to sing! I dont even like Blue Jeans on the first couple of listens cause of the way she sung the verses. but its the song that makes me most emotional now. ----------------------------------- I got scared off from Cola at first because of "My pussy tastes like pepsi cola". I thought she was being up herself and trying to get all the attention, but I realised she's basically joking and having fun, and now Cola is one of my favourite songs ----------------------------------- I thought Brooklyn Baby was boring at first and didn't know why it was a promo single for Ultraviolence. But now I love it ofc, and know its means a lot to her and her lifestyle. Its just a chill song, so i know why she didn't put strings and more elements into it ----------------------------------- I think everyone had this opinion but I thought the last half of the Honeymoon Album (Burnt Norton to DLMBM) were too quiet and not interesting. I listened to it at night in bed and was kinda like 'WTF' and went to sleep a little disappointed. But then the next day I woke up, listened to it almost all day, and by the end of the day it was my favourite album. ----------------------------------- When I first listened to the full Born to Die album, i thought Lana was weird and too into this idea that she was always some black guys 'little dolly' or something, so I stopped liking her for like 1 week but that didnt last :'D i mean wtf, that's a f'd up thought to have ----------------------------------- When she first dyed her hair dark brown i thought she looked terrible cause i was used to the light brown, but now I think its the sexiest look on her ----------------------------------- I used to not like ANY of her AKA and unreleased stuff. I was like "thank GOD she didnt release these" but now they're like my biggest guilty pleasure, cause i know she's not happy about a lot of them being leaked, but i love them too much to give up

OMFG i used to HATE the paradise album art, in fact when i first came across it i thought it ws so fake, like she was fake tanned suddenly, and i pretty much refused to listen to the new paradise songs :'D but now it my favourite, maybe not the art, but the songs. The original photo that was meant to be the Ultraviolence album art, would have been my favourite album art if they didnt change it because 'the cigarette made it seem too much about drugs"

1. I mean, Summertime Sadness is ANGELIC, but I really love the demo just as much. It gives it a different vibe. It feels almost Hawaiian which is imo the feeling she had when she wrote the song. 2. I could never hate on lana's voice, but i actually cant listen to the National Anthem demo because of how her voice sounds. It sounds like Brittany Spears was singing with a peg on her nose. Idk why I have that opinion. I WISH i could listen to it and love the demo cause the instrumental and background choir is amazing I hope this opinion changes eventually. Pls dont hate me 3. I dont know why everyone wants a BTD #2 with more upbeat pop-ish songs! I want her to do something unique, like AKA #2, but better recording. People who want more pop lana should just start listening to marina more or something I can see this in Music to watch boys to. I kinda dont really know what she was doing there... The underwater shots were the only thing i liked about that video, and the neon sign flickering at the start. I can't think of any other videos where i have that opinion but on her old, home-recorded videos I used to think the shots of her sitting down, wearing wigs, singing to the camera looked so dorky and embarrassing, but now ive grown to love them and think its cute.

AKA: Kill Kill, Mermaid Motel Demos: Lucky Ones, This is What Makes Us Girls (the second version) BTD: Born to Die, Million Dollar Man P: Ride (For how i can relate), Cola and Gods & Monsters (vibe) UV: Cruel World, Black Beauty (for lyrics), Guns and Roses HM: Freak, The Blackest Day, Religion Unreleased: Angels Forever, Big Bad Wolf, 3 Years Other: Big Eyes, Prisoner (with the Weeknd), Dayglo Reflection (with Bobby Womack) LOVE it xxxx but just one question? Why does no one like Guns and Roses? Towards the end of the song where it gets trippy is my favourite part of any Lana song tbh. Its worth listening just for that part. And the drums haunt me at the very end. ALL TIME: Angels Forever, Freak, Cola, Gods and Monsters

THANK YOU!!! wow i much prefer this version too. its only subtle differences, and the meaning hits you so much more! It's like "You're heart is unbreakable" but hers is, with the knife projection. "You are invincible" but she is, and she can drown when he cant. I don't understand why it got changed for the official. i made a tumblr post about it http://subversiviolence.tumblr.com/post/154415876998/directors-cut-of-shades-of-cool
