    Born to Die -  New York chick in search for some excitement. A getaway to Las Vegas with your sugar daddy; checking into motels. Driving along the strip for hours just marveling at the life and neon signs. Befriending a group of girls and running mayhem around town. Young, fresh, and doe-eyed at the world around. Having a lot of fun and mischief in a short space of time. 

     

    Paradise - Religious imagery. Heaven and Hell. Angels and demons. Hollywood legends. Reciting poetry. Opulent living and overindulgence. The Sistine Chapel. Private islands and golden sunsets. Living fast, living life to try to attain ultimate fulfillment. Blood oranges and red roses with thorns. 

     

    Ultraviolence - Smoke-filled room. Cults and living frugally. Drug trips and long drive holidays to Cali, Yosemite. Getting drunk by the seaside with your friends. Being a side chick for married men and its ultimate consequences. Having quick love but ultimately being alone in the long-run. The search for glory and power in a fame-hungry world. 

     

    Honeymoon -  Pink lemonade. Hazy dreams. A Kaleidoscope. The Italian Riviera. Very hot summer days. Living like an old Hollywood film star. Silk robes. Botanical gardens and luscious, well maintained gardens in stately homes. Greek sculptures. Going undercover for a day; a femme fatale on the run but still deeply in love with her tragic lover. Jazz bars. 

     

    Lust for Life - 60s dream. Having an urge to start a revolution. Protests and coming together to help the greater good. Working 9-5 and coming home to your studio. Large mountainous regions and long winding lakes. Green pick-up trucks and going to cabins in woodland area. Strong cups of coffee. Going to your local cafe to watch an acoustic open mic performance. Summer turning into Autumn.

     

    Norman Fucking Rockwell! - 70s life. Laurel Canyon, Californian state of mind and living. A home by the sea, daily surfing. Listening to beat poets perform. Painting as a hobby and staying up late in your art studio. Going to parties with other creative minds and hearing Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Carole King play over the radio.

    Hope is Dangerous is just simply beautiful. 

    I know some would've liked more production but I think just the vocals and piano make the lyrics pop out. And I think that was her whole intention. 

     

    Some really thought provoking lyrics have crept up from NFR (except VB but that was more instrumental focused anyways- still a bop just in different form)

    I am looking forward to what her poetry and the rest of the songs have in store in terms of the story that NFR will have.

    1. How did you discover Lana? When and What Era?


    I first discovered Lana in late 2011 when Video Games blew up and the song was practically playing everywhere. That too, Lana was also heavily focused in the news that time (her blowing up from nowhere, her enigmatic image etc.) Video Games was a lovely track but I didn't look into it further. In November of 2012 (a year after Lana blew up) I was shopping in HMV and saw that Lana's Born To Die was on sale. So I thought why not buy it? Played it when I got back home and there my love for her music began!


     


    2. First song(s)?


    Video Games. Blue Jeans. Off to The Races.


     


    3.What did you think?


    I loved that she came from nowhere and just shook the industry up. She talented like that :flutter: . Her music was so entrancing and there was a beautiful, timeless, melancholic vibe to her music unlike I've ever heard. Lana at the time came and introduced us to the beauty of soft sadness in a vintage film. I found it beautiful and one of a kind. 


     


    4. Your favourite song(s)?


    As of now: How To Disappear, Music to Watch Boys to, The Blackest Day, 24, Honeymoon, Shades of Cool, Brooklyn Baby


    Million Dollar Man, and OTTR


     


    5. Least favourite song(s)?


    Dark Paradise, Bel Air, Burning Desire, White Mustang 


     


    6. What song(s) "grew" on you?


    Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, Change


     


    7. Whats your favourite Lana era as of now? (May jailer, Lizzy Grant, Lana Del Rey)


    Lana Del Rey


     


    8. Favourite Album(s)?


    Tie between Ultraviolence & Honeymoon.


     


    9. Least favourite(s) ?


    Lust for Life. The album was rushed in the end. The change of direction almost at finalization to more politically driven songs aged the album (and the breakup of G-eazy thrown in). We missed out on bops like BAR, Roses Bloom For You, Yosemite, and the Beautiful People demo. 


     


    10. Favourite song preformed live?


    So many. But currently:



     


    11. First song/Album purchased/Downloaded?


    First purchase was the Born to Die album.


     


    12. Favourite song quote/lyric? 


    All of Pawn Shop Blues. The Bridge on Off to The Races.

    I don't think these are edited???? Because usually local files by other members on Spotify don't show up so it can't be edited??

     

    Edit: Nevermind, I think they are edited RIP

     

    Edit 2: I mean...the titles seem legit to me?? Like Summertime Sadness > Summer Bummer and now we have The Blackest Day > The Brightest Day? Idk man. Also Bartender/Sylvia could be on the deluxe edition, which is why they're not on here?

     

    Yes Sylvia and Bartender are missing, and like @@Clampigirl pointed out, the timestamp for Venice Bitch isn't correct. 

    And I don't understand if they are real tracks how they are showing up on Spotify in the first place?

    Can someone give a general gist of what is Lana singing about on How To Disappear  :crossed: Read through the lyrics and it just doesn't make any sense to me 

     

    Personally, I feel How To Disappear is about possibly Lana and two guys- I'd view them as her friends. In the first verse she met John at the boulevard, possibly just for a night out but it dissolves into Lana crying about how hard life is. The waves came in over my head, signifying that everything is becoming too much for her to bare. Then she asks John where he's been, possibly alluding to him disappearing from his own struggles. As Lana met other people she felt his presence when others cracked beers. 

     

    Second verse, Jim was training in the training yard and Lana met him. Jim is possibly going to the training yard to forget his struggles, to disappear. So he practices with other guys there, possibly boxing or something. Jim is over his head with his struggles and feels that he can let it out through fighting, as told by Lana through the cuts on his face. Lana tells us that despite his struggles, she loves him and knows that when it really gets heated he can move mountains, alluding that it's possible for Jim to get over his issues. But at this time he's getting high from the fights he's getting himself into-- disappearing into the heat of the moment. 

     

    The bridge is when Lana solidifies her thoughts on disappearing. She grew up in New York but now she has matured, has kids and cats in California, and is possibly writing a memoir, in which she is constantly thinking back to NY and her past and how all her friends and herself always tried disappearing from negative thoughts. But now she is at peace and is saying to us that she's content. She doesn't want to disappear anymore. And telling John and Jim that no matter what they do, she'll be right there for them.

    Summer of Sam - it's really upbeat and has her rapping. I guess it's not to everyone's taste but idk it's a fun bop and I feel gets left out 

    Million Dollar Man - beautifully jazzy and classic Lana themes from BTD- could easily fit in with Honeymoon, too. I feel it's severely underrated and some of the performances are beautiful from 2012.

    Velvet Crowbar - love the lyrics on it. Quite descriptive. Yet I don't hear it mentioned much.
