Oh please no more Nina covers, she is a legend and even tho Lana's renditions are pretty good she will never give full justice to her incredible voice + she should cover someone else, personally i would love a folk song, maybe Bob Dylan

Honestly, truly, i'm almost more excited for the video than to hear the song

I would like to thank not only Jesus but also God for this information, it's everything i needed to know

So it's true that we are expecting Honeymoon 2.0 ?

Omg Eclipse on Twitter: "She will release when she and her team are ready Dates change often. But there is still a while for a proper release. We must be patient"
:crai:i was ready to get the song within the next 2 weeks

oh no this sounds like UV era 2.0 when she refused to do promo etc. because of her label's restrictions

I wonder what the fact that Lana is working with all of the people from the Born to Die era means (Emile, Nicole Nodland)  
i dont wanna sound delusional but is she planning btd 2.0

this is not a lyric but when i first bought my BTD cd when it came out in 2012 i didn't know about the fireworks at the beginning of National Anthem and i thought my cd was broken

Oh my, I didn't catch OTTR !!!
 
Well what can I say about this song... In a nutshell, this is a record that still makes me vibrate to this day. There's just something about it, it's so unique.
 
In terms of vocal textures, Lana display a full palette of colours, tones and range. Slow and almost monocordious at first, then picking up in pace, in a hectic race (pun intended) before resting a bit... She reaches a climax after the final chorus, where she just ad libs and soars.
 
Regarding the lyrics, I must say (and I said that a few times already on this thread, but it's true) I had never heard an artist singing about a similar relationship in such a decor. It feels so ominous, (Riker Island, Cocaïne, Bad and Tough man...), glamourous (swimming pool, cognac, cigar, races) and yet romantic (I love you forever not maybe, you are my one true love, light of his life...). You know what, I just noticed last year that the Rhymes aren't always the best since she sometimes simply repeat a word ("has me by my heart/with every beat of his cocaine heart". Also "he's got a soul as sweet as blood red jam/ he knows me every inch if my tar black soul"). But that just didn't catch my attention because you're immerges into a moving picture, a love story, a dangerous one, full of suspense and it's got ups and downs and such an ending that it leaves you wanting more !
 
As for the instrumental... If you think it's overproduced, I won't say "I get it" this time. I LOVE IT as it is. (I still like the BTD Sampler version we got though). But this fusion of luscious strings and hard knocking hip hop beats is just out of this world ! The samples give it that edge, too, ugh it's just too much for words. The ending gets me every time, it's just so poignant, full of hope in a way but also of luring doom and sorrow.
 
It's a shame we never got a high end music video for this song but it's alright, it's so vivid that I can picture it in my mind without problem.
 
In conclusion, this is one of the BTD songs that makes me roll my eyes when somebody wants to degrade the album, without constructive arguments because it's a masterpiece.

That flawless nose still shooks me to this day

overreacting ? lmao Madonna sued her leaker's asses and sent them to jail for posting some ugly demos of Rebel Heart
loving this concept

the last time the sales were updated with a number we are sure of was january 2016 when it had just reached a little over 600k. The september thing is uncorrect

btw Honeymoon has sold 900k Worldwide... finally coming for that 1 million this year with the hype for LDR5

Since we're in topic, I can't say that the SNL performance was good but it was certantly good for her career. Even tho she already had had a quite succesful single in Europe (Video Games) she was still mostly unkown to the big crowds in the US and the whole backlash was a great way to draw attention to Born to Die which was about to be released.
I still believe to this day that without SNL, BTD would've remained relatively unknown and thanks to the controversy it was able to reach a greater audience.

With this i don't mean in any way that this tragic performance was in any way staged since until today Lana is still depressed because of it and won't perform live tv (and last thing: has anyone noticed how she only performed in NYC ONCE after SNL ? it's ike she was traumatized)

do we actually know his name is Jorge and is 32 year old ? lol

Honestly, truly, i'm almost more excited for the video than to hear the song
