The way she still keeps it O.G

In the first photo she's holding an albino snake, maybe Shaun is not Adam but the devil who teases Eve to eat the apple? Or at least he represents temptation? idk I'm excited xD

Mandler will just recycle the idea of Tropico for Taylor Swift's next single anyway

Although I love Mandler's videos, I'd really like another video directed by Woodkid... BTD and BJ were iconic. 

Maybe I'm wrong but I guess that Lana is refering to herself in Black Beauty, not Barry. Like she is the sparrow blue, she's involved with so much beauty in her life right now -  she's in a worldwide tour, has an amazing carrear, a boyfriend who cares about her and fame but she can't really see the beauty in it. In some recently interviews she gave me an impression that she is clearly not satisfied with all that happened with her  ( and we also have that video in Dublin when she cried while singing Video Games), in one interview in particular I remember she said something like "All I wanted was to be a poet and all I could get is this ( refering to her staff and the fact that she has to stay in hotels and so on)". We all know that the backlash REALLY affected her so I think that this song it is indeed about her and how she is feeling right now not really about an relationship.

:defeated: :defeated:

I was so sad because I thought all those leaked songs so bad but then I listened to this and then....I regained faith in her again. One of her best songs

late i know 
 
June 4th. So basically my dad drove me almost 4 hours to the capital, I got there at about 2pm, (doors open 6:30pm, show starts 8pm). There were like 20 people there already, I was alone. I waited for about 2 hours, then it started POURING RAIN and most people moved under the roofs, but me and like 10 other people stayed. IT WAS FREEZING, I was all soaking wet, my shoes were soaked, my jeans, my everything but I didn't care I was just worried about the ticket in the inside pocket of my jacket  It stopped raining about 30 minutes later, so it was about 5pm and everyone started moving back to their places. More and more people kept coming. I was still in the front THANKFULLY. At about 6pm the security guards came (lol) and started opening the doors (not letting people in yet) and everyone started pushing and I was being crushed by, I would say around 300 people (i'm barely 5'2  ). THEN THEY OPENED THE DOORS AND EVERYONE STARTED RUNNING. I got in pretty quickly and started following everyone because I wasn't sure which gates to the stage they were gonna open. THERE'S LIKE 80 OF US RUNNING FULL SPEED AND THEN ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES SAYS THAT WE'RE RUNNING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION SO EVERYONE STARTS RUNNING BACK. We finally get to the gates (they're still closed) and I'm about 3 meters from the gates fml    We waited about 10 minutes and the gates OPENED. EVERYONE STARTED RUNNING, THERE WERE PEOPLE FALLING AND OTHERS STEPPING ON THEM JUST LIKE YOU SEE IN MOVIES AND SOME BITCH FELL IN FRONT OF ME AND ALMOST MADE ME FALL BUT I KEPT RUNNING. I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER RAN THAT FAST. So I get to the stage and i'm in second row right in the middle in front of the little stairs!!!!!!!!! Everyone is crushing each other, there's barely any AIR. the air conditioners were horrible and I was wearing a leather jacket lol. Some people were lifting their phones up to see how many people there were, and literally the whole stadium was FULL, I couldn't believe I was in the front. Later, I read it was almost 12k people.

 
 
     So after lots of crushing, waving, moving, sweating, screaming and about an hour of waiting the opening band finally started playing. I had never heard of them before, but they were pretty good, they're called Golden Parazyth, look 'em up. AND THEN. THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. LANA'S BAND STARTED SHOWING UP. AND THEN THE PRINCESS CAME IN LOOKING BEAUTIFUL IN A LITTLE GREEN DRESS. HER LEGS. HER FUCKING LEGS. HER FACE. SHE WAS SMILING AND LAUGHING AND OMG I'M ABOUT TO PASS OUT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. She kept repeating how she couldn't believe how many people were there and honestly, I couldn't either. I mean, it's Lithuania. PLEASE. She jumped off of the stage a couple times during Cola. I thought I was dreaming. It was perfect (I thought the music could've been louder though). She looked 500 times more beautiful in real life than in pictures. I actually thought she was taller, but I would say she was like 10 centimeters higher than me. SHE WAS GRINDING THE MIC POLE DURING BODY ELECTRIC LIKE 3 METERS AWAY FROM ME. I knew she was gonna come sit on the stairs during Without You 'cause she usually does that, so I prepared to scream my guts out during "Am I glamorous?". YOU CAN HEAR ME SCREAM "YEEEEES!". This was filmed by a person a little on my left:

I MADE HER SMILE JESUS CHRIST SWEET MOTHER OF GOD MY LIFE IS MADE     
 
Some people started looking at me like I was naked but who cares!!!11!!!1
 
It was like a dream, but I remember very little of Ride I don't know why. Before Summertime Sadness, she was like "Hmm, what should we do?"  AND I WANTED TO SCREAM "DARK PARADISE!!!!!!!!!" BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I WAS LOST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY  Someone screamed something, I didn't hear what it was, but she said: "Mmm! No, let's do summertime."
So basically the concert was perfect. VIDEO GAMES THOUGH. The intro started playing and everyone was screaming SO LOUD, I think that was the loudest part of the whole concert. She started smiling and laughing and said something like: "Oh my god! You're gonna have to help me!"
I started crying because it was so beautiful, it's my all time favorite Lana song and she was so perfect. People singing along at 3:00:

AFTER VIDEO GAMES FINISHED I WAS LIKE "NOOOOOOOO, NATIONAL ANTHEM IS THE LAST SONG FML" but she did Burning Desire YES. The performance was so hot i'm getting hot just rIGHT NOW.
It was time for the last song, National Anthem. After the song, she jumped off the stage!!!!!!!! She went to the right side first, then came to the middle. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT I FILMED IT AND SHE SAID "HI BABY" AND KISSED MY PHONE IDK IF SHE DID THAT ON PURPOSE OR IF I SHOVED MY PHONE INTO SOMEBODY'S FACE BUT I LIKE TO PRETEND THAT SHE SAID HI TO ME AND CALLED ME BABY    
Here's my video:

Then she went up to the girl on my left, started signing stuff AND I HELD HER HAND FOR LIKE 5 SECONDS. AND IT WASN'T JUST A TOUCH OR A SLAP. I LITERALLY HELD HER HAND LIKE THIS:
MY FACE WAS LIKE THIS          I KEPT LOOKING AT OUR HANDS AND THEN AT HER THEN AT OUR HANDS AGAIN THEN HER THEN HANDS THEN HER OMG. HER HAND WAS A LOT BIGGER THAN MINE but I have baby hands. I WAS CRYING. THEN SHE KISSED A GIRL NEXT TO ME ON THE LIPS AND SHE STARTED CRYING REALLY LOUD LIKE I THINK YOU CAN HEAR HER IN THE VIDEO. I saw quite a few guys crying too. She stayed down there for at least 20 minutes, signed posters, took pictures, then took the gifts, flowers, and left.       
 
Everyone started leaving the stadium, I still stood there crying. I couldn't believe what happened. I wasn't planning on buying anything but the paradise poster was rly cheap so I bought that. It's now hanging on my wall:
 

 
I went back to my dad's car and started CRYING, I couldn't even speak, my dad started asking WHAT HAPPENED WHAT HAPPENED. He thought something bad had happened to me. ALL I COULD SAY WAS: "I TOUCHED, I TOUCHED HER". So I sat in the car and cried literally for nearly 30 minutes. My dad said we could wait if she was to come out. I was like YES, so we waited for about 20 minutes (it was already about 40 minutes after the show) and I saw a few people waiting, but someone said she had already left. I was like   
So we left. THE NEXT DAY I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT SHE CAME OUTSIDE AND TOOK PICTURES WITH EVERY SINGLE PERSON LIKE 5 OR 10 MINUTES AFTER I LEFT   
 
I was in shock for like 3 days, I could barely SPEAK, I just kept rewatching videos from the concert.
But that was definitely the best day of my life. She said she would come back, I hope she will.
I recorded little pieces of every single song, I think, but the quality is pretty bad.
I wanted to go to Latvia's show a couple weeks later 'cause it the venue is literally like 3 hours away from where I live but my mom didn't let me    
 
 
wow this is long i'm sorry, and excuse any grammar mistakes it's almost 4am   

I read an interview with Perry ( the creator of the festival) and he said that Lana was an must-see act because she hasn't been touring in USA  and people might be surprised with her performance. And most important,  although she is not in the main stage they scheduled her to be the final act of friday, so I'm pretty sure they know how much attention lana would get to the festival (  I mean 14010 people add her to their line-up shedule more than The Cure, Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age which are headliners).    We can't forget that there is an negotiation and if Lana doesn't want to they can't stream her concert - and I'm pretty sure that's what happened considering that she didn't let any press during her Paradise Tour in Europe.

i have so many favourites but these are just a few
 
YAYO (AKA version)
this song is honestly the most beautiful love song i have ever heard. it captures so much emotion and it makes me so sad to think that lana is no
longer with the man this is about. even though their relationship probably had flaws, i feel like this song captures one perfect moment. it captures how it feels to truly need someone's love. i say captures too much. sorry
 
ON OUR WAY
this song makes me cry and smile at the same time. smile because she is so sweet and the way she sings kaaaayy-mart. but cry because i don't think lana and her lover ever really ran away, never really just got in the car and drove away forever. i sound stupid, i know, but i just really love this song. and the video. oh my.
 
KINDA OUTTA LUCK
makes me so happy. makes me want to go be a femme fatale. i went through a phase where i listened to it religiously.
 
KILL KILL
such a soothing, summery vibe. makes me want to lie down on a sunny beach with my feet in the sand.
 
NATIONAL ANTHEM
both versions. but the demo version feels so badass.
 
honourable mentions: you can be the boss, lolita (demo with the fast music), put me in a movie, mermaid motel, trash magic

Angels forever, forever angels is a reference to the Hells Angels. More bike/gang/open-road culture.

I can't think in something more exotic than a black albino. 

This item was around for like a minute, I saw it once and I'm very curious about it.
I'm talking about the lyric book, I saw it once in the online Lana store and then it disapeared.
Those are the only two images I could find:

Like I said, I'm VERY curious about that product, so if any of you know anything about it, please share your information, and if by any chance one of you actually own one I BEG for photos. please.

But the original poster is a square and fits perfectly for iTunes!
Haha, I made one anyway. It doesn't look like a square for some reason, but it is...
 

Songs as a whole:
Carmen Off to the Races Disco Elvis Children of the Bad Revolution  Single lines:
I know a way to make gold, by making our souls to escape reality. There's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody, it won't leave my head. Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine. Mon Amour, sweet child of mine, you're divine. Didn't anyone ever tell you it's okay to shine? Buy my purple wig, for my mermaid video. Walk back to where I live in my motel on Neptune Avenue. Overdose and dying, on our drugs, and our love, and our dreams, and our rage. Not really my top 5, too hard to narrow it down to that...but just some I really love.

lol

I've just bought my tickets for Planeta Terra and I'm more excited than I thought I would be. I hope they confirm the RJ concert so then I can attend both

I have to say that AKA is actually my favorite record of Lana so far. It works way better as an whole record than BTD for me.
 
So Kill Kill is the most iconic song so probably it would be the song that it would make her big ( just like VG did for her). Before her album cam out, she would release a promo video for Raise Me Up . Her second official single ( with an BTD video production) it would be Yayo. Then she would just release homevideos for Gramma, Oh Say Can You See me and Trash Magic ( in my Aka version this song it is definitely on it). She would be the pitchfork/hipster darling, not the type of fame that Lana has now.
