Gods and Monsters is in my top 5 favorite Lana Del Rey songs.
 
I really like the idea behind the song, and it has some of my favorite lines from her.

Fame, Liquor, Love give it to me slowly
 
Me and God, we don't get along so now I sing

Cause life imitates art

My coaster still smells like you....

Chocolate and a bed

Queen of Disaster slaying
 
Queen of Disaster Vs Black Beauty
 
(I so want to match up Black Beauty with Oh say can you see once tbh, I mean I have no idea which I love more both songs are so similar and awesome)

Come on let's keep this going.
I don't even need to hear roses, I know I'll prefer Hollywood forever because of that flawless bridge and all.
So:
 
Hollywood Vs. Queen of Disastah

after the song finished there is like 10 seconds of silence, then she says it

My fave kind of source tbh

WTF are you talking about that song totally slays LISTEN TO IT WITH HEADPHONES UNTIL YOUR EARS BLEED!!!

The veteran DJ reaches the Top 10 and inks an album deal with Interscope.While many in clubland know Cedric Gervais for his residency at Space in Miami, his consistent output of remixes, and an outsized personality on and off the decks, the DJ is reaching a whole new audience this summer thanks to Lana Del Rey. Gervais’s rework of the singer’s “Summertime Sadness” reached No. 9 on the Hot 100 last week (it slipped to 10 this week despite a continued rise in sales and streams), giving the experienced EDM jock the biggest hit of his career.
 
Billed as Cedric Gervais vs. Lana Del Rey, the track was originally remixed by Gervais as a labor of love. “After the success of my track ‘Molly,’ a lot of people asked me to remix big artists,” Gervais explains. “To me it’s not about the money, so I turned down a lot of people. But Lana Del Rey came in. I didn’t even ask how much money I just said please send me the vocals right away and I did the track in one day. I wasn’t thinking if it was going to be a hit or not, I just love and respect the artist that she is.”
 
Touring Europe this summer, Gervais has watched the sleeper hit grow,  even the  giving the seasoned producer a sense of accomplishment. “In every country I’m going to, I hear my remix on the radio,” he says happily. “I heard it on the MTV Awards while they’re introducing Selena Gomez. It motivates me. I started a long time ago in the business with the passion of being a DJ and all of the sudden I make a track like this I get even more excited and motivated. It opens the door to so many things.”
 
One of those things includes an album deal with Interscope, ushered in by the label's A&R honcho, John Ehmann, who was responsible for the “Summertime” remix, even though the track was ultimately released through indie dance label Spinnin’ Records--a move designed to reach and appeal to Gervais’ core DJ fanbase. According to Gervais, when Ehmann saw “60,000 people singing the song” at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas he returned to Interscope’s L.A. offices ready to put the weight of Del Rey’s home label behind the song’s promotion.
“I love the label and I really love what they’re doing with Zedd at the moment,” says Gervais. “They’re putting me with so many great songwriters and producers that it’s the right thing to do.”
 
Working with “Summertime’s” veteran co-songwriter Rick Nowels (profiled recently in Chart Beat), Gervais promises an album of less-than-obvious featured vocalists but rather “very cool, very iconic” new artists. 
 
Co-written by Nowels and Del Rey, “Summertime Sadness” first appeared on Del Rey’s 2012 album “Born To Die” and was even released as a single in Europe that year. While Gervais was also asked to rework “Young and Beautiful,” the featured single from The Great Gatsby, promotion for that track is being held until awards season this winter.
 
Despite an uptick in studio time (Gervais says a session with Alanis Morissette is in the near future), Gervais remains a touring DJ. For that facet of his career, the song’s success is directly seen in his renewed ability to pack a club, particularly in North America.
“The [previous] time I played Vancouver the promoter called my agent and said ‘we’re not moving a lot of tickets, we can’t pay the price we’re paying.’ And last time I played Vancouver [at the beginning of the summer], I sold out the week before.”

Although the comment is really old, if you want I can tell you about this.
Lana is familiar with these concepts and is aware of them, but only shallowly, she doesn't get them. Can't use them. It's even talked about in one of her lyrics, I think it's from Starry Eyed: "They say make Lemonade out of lemons I tried but I just can't understand it"
And if you look at the way she acts, like holds grudges etc. she really does not get it.
She talked about this interest of her in interviews and she did read the book "Ask and It is given", which is a book written by the person speaking in that video.

Umm....well I don't know exactly, it was mentioned in more than one of her radio interviews also, and she recommended the book in one of her magazine interviews, I remember someone even shared links to it when it happened....I think the interview was one of those Los Angeles interviews where she talked a lot about the people in there about metaphysical stuff, after that flood happened.
Plus, - maybe someone else remembers this too - there was this one interview where she talked about loving to take walks and just meeting random people and hanging out with them. In that she said that she set an intention to meet up with someone interesting, and she said that you have to trust that the universe will meet you halfway, or something like that, and then it will happen. That book mentions similar things.
 
 
Could be of course I said not getting them because of those lyrics "I just can't understand it"

So true! As long as her songs sound amazing, her videos are flawless and her photoshoots are beautiful I'm happy, who cares what is she like in real life. Sure it might be interesting, but the emphasis should be on her work.
