Ultra Violet

my opinions of her haven't really changed much since i first fell in love with her.
 
i think i just love her more now lol.
 
although i used to hate hearing her sing songs live, but now I listen to her live singing more than her records. i still cringe a little at her earlier performance vocals but she's def improved amazingly vocally. so yeah i used to only prefer her recorded tracks, now i basically only listen to her live tracks lol.

i didn't like video games but somehow i still got btd and carmen when they were they were available for free on itunes and they got me into her, i then realised that video games is more than just a basic piano ballad when i bought btd (the album).

first song i've heard was born to die on some gossip website and they wrote there like she was rich daddy's girl so obv i didn't like her and i thought that born to die song is boring

few days later i found myself singing video games and that was it... i was in... i started to dig more and actually first songs i heard/loved were her unreleased, at this point whatever lana releases i love less or more but i think i love her lyrics more than her sound actually (but i still love the sound tho)

when i first heard born to die i disliked it a lot and i thought she was a depressed and boring singer. also i used to make fun of her saying that she never smiles and stuff 

I thought Sirens was Lana's magnum opus then Us Against The World BUT THEN NOIR LEAKED THE NEXT DAY AND I'VE BEEN OBSESSED EVER SINCE         
I hated Florida Kilos the first year UV came out but it's grown on me 
I hated all of Honeymoon the first few listens, but the first half has grown on me I guess... but I think I on'y tolerate it since I needed to listen to something new 
I was sooooo excited when I heard Roses leaked but after one listen I didn't replay. 
I thought So Legit was so shiitty and mean but, even as a Gaga fan, I semi love it 

triggered.
 
 
 
she is shook.

You started a 'favourite lanaboards gif' thread. People in glass houses. 

why not

I use to not really pay attention to Lana's song meanings, like the little messages she leaves that you wouldn't really notice unless you really pay attention to the lyrics and instrumentals but lately I am doing it, I try to understand the meaning behind her songs and what motivates her to sing those themes based on the interviews and all I think I know from her based on all the information the internet can provide me about her 
 
It's really creepy but I feel like I understand her now better as an artist and as a person now than when I did back in 2014 when I started to "Lanalyse"

I like this thread. It's about how you changed your mind rather than your current thinking.
 
When I was first introduced to her music I didn't like it at all, I was bitter that she had won the BRIT awards over cat power (lol). Obvs now I love her

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

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.

She's one of my favourite artists, and she produces herself too. She's just so amazing. I love her teaming up with HANA all the time too. They're like ultimate duo.
 
Ive known grimes since 2013. I loved her newest Art Angels album, it was so different from anything i've heard before, including her old stuff. A lot more vocals which was cool. But i do have to say I was a bit upset that she had completely scrapped the work she had done for the album that was meant to be instead of AA.
She said she deleted it all because she decided she didnt like it and wanted something different, which I totally support her doing what she feels is rights, but
Like her song David (that she sang live only once or twice i think) was AMAZING and im so upset ill never hear a studio version. Her vocals and the instrumentals were so perfect Wish we could have heard the rest of the album, even if she just released them in an EP or something
I guess we never will though.

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"

Paradise EP says hello

The Born to Die album cover is my least favorite album art. Her face is edited too much that it doesn't even completely look like her

I like her a lot. I've been a fan since her first song Dollhouse came out.
At first I was a bit wary of her Cry Baby album, cause I thought all the baby, childish references was some weird fettish that disgusted me, and was encouraging sexuality of young children, BUT then I realised it was really just like a younger persona of who she is and how her life has been. And that all the references are really meaningful and chaotic to young adults.
I realise its NOT a fettish, and she's not even sexualising it. She doesn't pop out her boobs, she isn't making out with other people in her music videos, etc. Her Mrs. Potato Head video proves that she's actually calling out all that sh_t. She's raw, she's actually an amazing self-director, and she is a really nice person irl too.
 
Some people were calling her rude to her fans because of one incident when fans were yelling obscene things at her on stage while she was trying to explain the song Mrs. Potato Head, and that upset her and she was like "I'm talking!". But when you know how meaningful that song was to her, and that people were yelling out rude things among the many "I LOVE YOUUU!"'s (such as "sit on my face!") then you'll understand she is not mean or rude at all. And really grateful for her fans <3
