Ultra Violet

I think what she sings in the end, that she's walking with them, is so beautiful, like that she won't forget them. It's actually making me emotional, those poor girls, it's so sad and I'm happy he's being brought to justice.

He was first arrested last July in connection with three of the murders, but was charged with two additional murders last month... did this leak for the one year anniversary of his initial arrest?

The killings were happening from when the time she was 8 to the entire time she was living in NYC at the beginning of her career. Where we might see it from the perspective of true crime documentaries, she probably sees herself in the women who were murdered.
 
Just pointing out how the criticism would've been unwarranted at all, as it is just as ultrapersonal as many of the other songs from OB. This is a genius, haunting track.

i can see why she didn't release this, only because of how people treat lana, they would think she's "romanticizing the killings" lmao. but it's very interesting that she wrote about this, and i think it deserved better than getting scrapped.

Yeah it’s fucking nuts he was some middle age boomer architect wasn’t he? We listen to a LOT of Crime Junkie and pay for their fan club this story was especially crazy to hear cause most of these infamous stories don’t really occur in our lifetimes 🤯
 
Edit: if I remember right they caught him from DNA from an unfinished pizza slice in a trash can 

wait im confused why is she linking serial killer deaths to her cancer horoscope for that year

STORYTELLING!!! SONGWRITING!!! ahhh!!!

holy shit this is some Behind The Iron Gates type of vibe  v interesting that its about Gilgo girls she's so crazy 

This song seems to be about the Gilgo Four - four women who were sex workers that were killed by a serial killer on Gilgo Beach x

Here’s the “Lasso” one I made back in May for another Discord Competition I could’ve done way more for this but oh well
 
 

I decided to share the work I did this year since I’ve been a bit bored throughout spring-summer
I hope y’all enjoy 🤍

It’s 1:05 AM when I’m writing this and I’m tired so I’ll upload more of my work as I can, I promise !

I was bored so here is a tiny “Lana Del Rey Update Magazine”



 
Yeah that’s it haha 

How do you always slay 

Looking back at this I'm also shocked that she hasn't sung Fuck it I Love You. WHY 
Imagine if we could choose a whole setlist from these songs. I'd choose Sad Girl, FIILY, Dealer, Black Bathing Suit, Religion, 24, I Can Fly, Dark but just a game, Living Legend, Summer Bummer. And I fully recognise the fans who aren't stans would be so bored.

i think lana is gonna be absolutely over the moon with this  wow. if you write like a living legend, sing like a living legend, are treated like a living legend and are revered by living legends... you're probably a living legend 

apparently patti said that this song reminds her of her dead husband  she was crying while singing it

I'm not sure if this is real or if it has been posted. I wasn't sure where to put the thread. Anyway if it's real nice acknowledgement from Patti.

This is so legendaric in general but for me specifically....worlds are colliding....

Thanks for posting, Fred. My world's continue to collide!
Interestingly, the other artists she covered that show were Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana. As sung by an all time legend, that's not bad company to be in!

Wait does anyone else remember that Barrie confirmed he has an unreleased album with Lana that he still plans on releasing one day??? I know he said it around the same time that he posted the snippet of I Got You Babe

Well yep Lana said in 2012 during an interview that the writing of the song is inspired by how people had started being nice to her, after hearing her songs on the radio.
