I have so much history with this record and I'll never forget it because it came out a day before I turned 19, so I associate it a bit with my birthday every time. And it's a record that I've been waiting for months, so much that I was counting the days, it was so long! But when it arrived, it was literally the record I played every day until UV arrived. Paradise worked in her favor too. 2012 was such a great year !

There are artists that you know, no matter what music they are going to release, but you know that they will follow you all your life. Video games was such a trigger. This voice, a deep and obsessive voice. She speaks to you necessarily, I can't say how right she aimed and she said that this album was perfection, she was not mistaken.
I think Lana wielded incredible power with this album, I mean she came up with songs of such quality that it felt surreal to me. Our radios were bombarded with EDM music and Lana came up with such music, it was just beautiful, special, intimate.

She inspired me to write, paint and do lots of artistic things. Lana has been an icon since her arrival.
It's pretty crazy because I will always remember the fact that Lana was not liked. I mean around me when I spoke about this singer the girls told me that it was too dark, that she was not beautiful, too kitsch, even ridiculous. I couldn't understand why no one could feel the emotion and deeper of her songs. So I was a little ashamed to say that I loved her and she remained an artist that I listened to only for myself.

She was a catalyst for getting me through some pretty crazy stuff that I wanted when I was younger. This flavor was special, the passion, the sunsets, the desire to love more, her music makes the emotions more intense.

It's a film that can be molded endlessly. Every song is iconic. It's a wonderful soundtrack but not only, it's a book of memories. I can remember every place, every smell, every person, every emotion if you tell me about one of her songs.
I will never get tired of listening to her and I think the "real" Lana is here. You know Lana hair like Priscilla, gas station pinup, Hollywood glamour, rockers. Lana Del Rey was the expensive and the cheap, it made us so close.

Of course, home videos are emblematic. Professional videos gave another side to her aesthetic. She was so huge. So shy too, she was the first artist to have "failed" her lives because of her shyness, so I said to myself "but I can do it too, I can do great things despite my shyness".

And then there was the disappointment because I thought she was really poor and then I saw the pictures of her private plane rides with her daddy when she was Lizzy, and that depressed me lol. But I left that aside because her music was exceptional, a diamond. She has become very iconic.

It's quite strange that she became so by more standard songs and it's a shame, I also have the impression that the youngest are much more receptive to her music whereas when I was younger, it there was a conscience, a limit not to be crossed.

And yeah, 10 years. I can't believe it's been 10 years. For me Born to die came out yesterday and I got a little old, it's painful. But thank you Lana for being here and coming in with such a record, not being afraid to make different music. And I would always think so, it is nice to say that certain artists copy her or are inspired by her, she remains unbeatable and unique. There will never be 2 Lana Del Rey, she will always remain a singer very, very above all these flavorless indie singers just with the BTD/P - UV - HM trilogy.

i started listening to lana in late 2014 (when i was 11 ) but that was only MPG and FMWUTTT and it took till my trip to the UK and Scotland in the summer of 2015 for me to really fall in love with her and i became OBSESSED. i had a really shitty phone plan so i couldn’t download music while on the trip except at hotels so the entire 2 week trip i listened to nothing except Beyoncé’s self titled and BTD and truly nothing beats walking the streets of London falling in love with this album in the place she lived while working on it whenever i hear Radio (which funnily enough is playing on my record player rn lmao) i vividly remember sitting in the lobby of the hotel on the last day BLARING this song in my earbuds feeling like i had reached nirvana. or falling in love with the melody of “and there’s no remedy for memory, your face is just like a melody” while sitting on the tour bus for hours on end each day . it’s great seeing how the album has affected so many peoples lives at different points and just really proves how important and influential it is.
