Ultra Violet

I genuinely have zero problems with her outfit dunno what y'all are mad about

These do go together incredibly well! I think the Dreamworld shoot really fits the Ultraviolence demos a lot too

We need more lana in plaited pigtails Except for the fact that this one probably inspired 13 beaches...

I wonder what the back cover of the album with the tracklist would have looked like if the first image Chuck shot for Ultraviolence remained as the album cover.

I found this the other day!

I actually make summer playlists with the intention for them to force me to appreciate the heat because I hate it so much. They always include Summertime Sadness Summertime (Lana's Gershwin version) Venice Bitch songs from Lorde - Solar Power God Knows I tried (the crickets noises makes me think of really hot summer nights), followed by HBTB COTCC I think is great for trying to stay blissful in weird times Grimes - Life in the vivid dream

I was watching Ginger Snaps again today (my all time favourite movie) and I appreciate this masterpiece more with every watch, even though it was already true love when I first saw it at 14. The soundtrack is essentially all late 90s industrial and metal with cool electronic in there too. I would definitely suggest anyone in this thread to watch it if you haven't already, and if you appreciate good movie soundtracks. I really can't believe they did a werewolf horror from a teen girl perspective with a metal soundtrack. It was so ahead of its time! I always knew it.

Yes! My dad who is German introduced them to me and my sister. We love them! I also love their piano rendition album as study music.

Wait was it @Rorman Nockwellwho describes is as tin can production?

Happy 10th birthday lanaboards! That means it's also been nearly a decade (I think next month is) of being a Lana stan! I joined here at the end of 2016, but I wish I had discovered this site back in 2012- no joke it probably would have gotten me through a lot of bad times easier! This is always an interesting place to come to for anything <3

She's so gorgeous. I was not prepared!

I can definitely see why they changed 1121 for the final version to get the message across more, but the demo has that energy that You asked for this/People dissappear here has, which is honestly my favourite vibe from Halsey. Im SO glad they changed Honey to a rock song. I cannot say it would have been a top track for me if it had remained like its demo. I feel neutral about the Lilith demo, but I do think I like the album one better, surprisingly, because I thought it was pretty dull on first listen. This whole album process is really fascinating tbh, like some of the tracks were more rock in their demos then changed more electronic/pop (?), then some were changed to be less rock from their demos. I remember hearing that they changed a lot of the production to get the lyrics across more and I agree with every single choice that was made. I wish we could have heard the Girl Is A Gun demo, because that was one of the demos where she said the production changed a lot.

Omg that distinct 2011-2012 dubstep remix sound It wasn't this one but this is so unique! Wish I'd discovered it back then too. And thanks for finding that for me <3

In 2012 or 2013 I found a remix of Carmen on YouTube that I listened to ALL the time. It used the acapella demo vocals, and since that was before I even knew about that demo, this remix just blew my mind! I was never able to find it again and I've tried searching from time to time I do remember it had an edit of picture as the thumbnail tho

You saying we will all have to send topless pics?

As much as I thought there's no way it would be umbrella (before hearing it), maybe we are projecting our wishes for more complex lyrics I like the sound of the song, and we obviously cant judge it on a 5 second snippet, but I think I can relax and be happy that it may just be a cute little rainy lullaby with electric guitar and screaming in the last chorus

Definitely sounds like umbrella. I tried so hard to hear anything else! Tbh the piano sounds nice. It sounds like rainy day piano.

Tired of Singing The Blues Your Girl Dealer

Piri by Dreamcatcher is still that song

Tulsa Jesus Freak is a 9 but if it stayed the title track it would have been a 10

Honestly

California is a 10 but the lyrics in the verses make it a 7

It's Arctic Monkeys - AM (not Lana! Oops) I definitely see it that way too tbh, it's just lately I've been so much more appreciative of HFK! I have to give it some credit bc I've probably slandered it before

This is exactly what I was going to say. I think it would be awesome to explore the works that Lana references! And also I cannot stand any more YA.

HFK grew on me with every year that has passed. At first I was like "this is a mess, she doesn't know what she's doing" and I suppose that's because I took her word for it that she would be doing the concept album better than the examples she gave (Born To Die and AM), which it definitely didn't succeed in doing. Imo, the album probably has half skips (the same way I see Manic) but half really good pop songs that I love unashamedly. It all seemed experimental to me, but an experimental success for sure. But still... IICHLIWP > Badlands & Room 93 > HFK > Manic.
