    Okay, so I gave Ceremonials a shot and wow... How could I have missed out on such a beautiful masterpiece?
    My favs are: Shake it Out, Breaking Down, Heartlines, Spectrum and Bedroom Hymns. The demo of Landscape also sounds promising.
    And the acoustics included in the Deluxe Version are devine

    Wearing her quirky catch-phrases to death. Has anyone ever really stopped to look at the title "Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven)"? Jesus Christ, Elizabeth, enough is enough! You know, I have a minute to kill, I'm going to make the whole AKA album with Gramma-esque titles.
     
    1. Kill Kill (Florida Dark Surf Paradise)
    2. Queen of the Gas Station (Neon Chevrolet Darling)
    3. Oh Say Can You See (By the Dawn's Early Light?)
    4. Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven)
    5. For K Part 2 (Rehab Daddy Issues)
    6. Jump (Sonic Palm Tree Cocaine Heart)
    7. Mermaid Motel (Miss America Gogo Dancer)
    8. Raise Me Up (Mississippi South Pickup Truck Baby Doll)
    9. Pawn Shop Blues (Hotel Jesus Meth)
    10. Brite Lites (Jersey Dance Queen Lolita)
    11. Put Me in a Movie (Little Girl Cinema Noir)
    12. Smarty (Dope Criminal Pin-Up)
    13. Yayo (Retro Boss Axl Rose Husband)
     
    That came way too easy.

    My favorite tracks from Coexist is Angels, Chained and Reunion. The day I find the instrumental version of Reunion is the day I can die happy, that song is just...

  8. Rafael liked a post in a topic by Sitar in LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships   
    Welcome to LANALYSIS, where we get real unhealthy in our obsessions and absolutely revel in it.

    This is a project I've been maintaining for a while now--Lana + Analysis...get it? The basic purpose is to relate every one of her songs (that's right, every last one of them) to her known and assumed relationships. Not a stone is left unturned. Privacy is violated. The fans rejoice. Mind you, it’s all pure speculation, but ~this is what makes us stans~

    It’s pretty long but an interesting read, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it in all it’s updated glory, and I will continue to update as new information is revealed and new songs come out. I will also be adding pictures, sources, etc. Stay tuned!

    Let’s get started!



    EARLY RELATIONSHIPS (1985 - ~2005)



    LOCAL ROCKSTARS (~2005 - 2009)



    YOU MADE ME NICE FOR A WHILE (2009 - 2011)



    POST-BREAKTHROUGH (2011+)



    IN THE LAND OF DISCREPANCIES



    ADVANCED LANALYSIS



    IN SUMMARY..

    Lingering questions…
    - Who the fuck is K?
    - Who the fuck is Ray?
    - Who the fuck is Bill? Is Bill really K? Does Bill matter at all?
    - What significance do cars play? She mentions eight in total (white Corvette, white Pontiac, blue Chevy Nova/Chevrolet, Cadillac convertible, Mercedes, pickup truck, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron)
    - When was she/who was she with in New York City and New Jersey? Ditto LA? Most mysterious and pressing, her time in the South?
    - Did she have a fling with Bradley Soileau?
    - Did Chris C. matter enough to her for her to write songs about him?

    Assumptions Made:
    - Lana was a gogo dancer.
    - K is a drug dealer/murderer, dead or on death row.
    - Jimmy is her ex-fiancé, addicted to cocaine despite a Wikipedia page stressing how healthy he is, associated with Chevrolets.
    - Much of Sirens is about completely different relationships.
    - She fucked Bradley.
    - Mike controlled her career but their relationship wasn’t associated with anything fucked up like drugs or stripping.


    Thanks for reading! I crave both your feedback and theories! This remains a forum collaboration and I don't claim to have the final say on Lanalytical manners.

    For the sake of believability, I'm always hunting receipts, and currently:
    - The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games"
    - The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean.
    - The interview where she talks about meeting her boyfriend in rehab and being dazzled by his small-scale celebrity.

    That comment just made my day 
     
    Fair enough, in the song Ride Lana sings "You can be my full time, daddy". However I would always hear "You can be my photon, daddy" and I never knew why she would sing about photons. I looked up the lyrics later on and well... Let's just say she wasn't singing about an elementary particle...

    Wow, this is like the hardest thing to do. I have a LOT of favorites. Argh. I'll probably regret this decision later but here goes:
     
    1. Sexy Lana. I mean c'mon, I just... I can't.

     
    2. Back in the days Lana. This truly captures the essence of a star, ready to be born.

     
    3. Funny Lana Gif. Makes me laugh whenever I see it. Oh Lana, haha. (Extra)
