BBC posted a small article as the preview for her interview. She revealed that the first version of Get Free was too revealing. It was (and still is) initially about these past 6 years but she felt uncomfortable revealing intimate details so she deleted the song and completely rerecorded it! I need our girl to come to SF<3 -

http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-40714557 Anyone else see this? (Sorry if it's been posted already) I guess it's a preview for the interview tomorrow. It seems interesting! She said Get Free started out more revealing and raw, so they scrapped the song altogether and rerecorded it. She also took a tour of BBC News...I love our curious and intellectual queen -
Get Free is one of her worst songs in my opinion. Not sorry about it Also: I think Blue Jeans (as well as most of BTD) is overrated and she should stop playing it

Don't hate me for posting this in this thread but: Anyone selling a LFL signed CD? I've been a stan for 5 years and have no signed stuff -
Me too, please? Thanks <3

Late to the album rankings but here's my tea: UV >> LFL ≥ HM > P > BTD LFL ≥ HM means that LFL is greater than or equal to HM (for everyone who doesn't remember elementary math ). Honestly, I like LFL more than HM, but I think HM is a better album... if that makes sense? The production is cleaner and more cohesive on HM but LFL has more replay value to me. So, sometimes I think LFL is superior and sometimes I think HM is. *Not including Lizzy Grant stuff -

Updated ranking since everyone's doing it Heroin Cherry Tomorrow Never Came Change Love White Mustang When The World Was At War, We Kept Dancing 13 Beaches In My Feelings Lust For Life God Bless America Groupie Love Beautiful People Beautiful Problems Coachella Summer Bummer Get Free A few notes: - The more I listen to Cherry the more I love it, though it'll never surpass Heroin. The production is fresh yet classic, and the lyrics are playful yet serious. - Lust For Life is generally a good song and doesn't deserve the hate it gets. The lyrics are cliche but still sweet and I actually love the production (esp. in the verses!). - Summer Bummer gets worse with each listen. I love love love the first verse and the piano but it never goes anywhere after that. There is no climax to the song. - BPBP is great, just a let down. However!! I am liking more and more with each listen. - WTWWAWWKD was another let down (though I still adore the track!). The chorus and prechorus are kind of boring. However, the "shake it up" verses are AMAZING (and are def. an album highlight!). - GBA is good but the chorus is boring. I love love love the guitars though. Final note, looking ahead: - I would love an album that's like Tomorrow Never Came + Heroin + WTWWAWWKD. Kind of like a mix between UV and HM. Slow slightly-psychedelic-mood-folk. If she collaborates with anyone else please God let it be Father John Misty. -

True For some reason the "emotional throwback" for me (on this record) is Heroin?? I know it doesn't make much sense but that song really stands out to me because it's the darkest track on the record and it reminds me of a production/lyrical combination of Cruel World and The Blackest Day, both of which are among my top 10 favorite Lana songs. So like the fact that the production/lyrics are relatively different from the rest of the record and reminiscent of older heavy & dark tracks makes it kind of like a subtle throwback for me -

I'm like the only stan that doesn't obsess over her Lizzy Grant material so I think that's why I don't love it as much as everyone else ;( -

This x 100 I think it's nice when an artist references old stuff of theirs, but it didn't work here, especially with the melody. Also, Lana recycles lyrics a lot, mostly in an artistic way that doesn't sound tacky (black beaches, blue, party dress, pale moonlight, etc.) but this one sounded a little off to me. It's hard to describe, I'm just not a fan! -

Okay I'm going to get attacked for this but... is anyone else not feeling Get Free? It's the only song I can't get into besides Coachella I love the verses and the prechorus is OK but that damn chorus ruins the song for me. The lyrics in the chorus are kind of tacky and the production is boring. Also, the song really goes nowhere. When the middle 8/bridge is supposed to come and take the song off, it just ends with ocean sounds instead. I love every track off of LFL but this one is just bad in my opinion -
UV > HM >> LFL > P > BTD Lust For Life is spectacular but the production is a hit or miss. A common mistake throughout the record, for me at least, seems to be that the verses and prechoruses have wonderful production but the choruses do not (God Bless America, WTWWAWWKD, Get Free). Production highlights on LFL are definitely Heroin, Love, LFL, Cherry, TNC and Change. Honeymoon, though slow, was beautifully produced, but Ultraviolence takes the cake. I'm trying to find a flaw and I can't. Even Guns and Roses is beautifully produced, albeit repetitive and boring (lyrically).

This site is based on concert goers inputting the setlists after they've heard it live. The festival hasn't happened yet therefore there's no way it could be true. -

My favorites: 1. Heroin: Absolutely my favorite song from the record. I can't put into words how much it means to me. It's in my top 3 favorite Lana songs now. 2. Change: I wrote on here earlier about how this song is her most relatable for me, and it still holds true. The lyrics bring literal tears to my eyes. 3. Love: Very cohesive song production and lyric-wise. 4. Cherry: I love how it was serious when we first heard it, but the production changed and it's now a playful song. The dissonance between the lyrics and the ad-libs of cursing is actually genius 5. Tomorrow Never Came: Beautiful production 6. When The World Was At War, We Kept Dancing: It would be in my top three if it weren't for the chorus/pre-chorus. The "shake it up" verses are the best though! 7. White Mustang: Simple but beautiful. Would be top 5 but the first verse is lyrically embarrassing. 8. 13 Beaches: Awesome production and good lyrics, esp. "ballroom of my mind" My least favorites: 1. Get Free: Verses 9/10, prechorus 8/10, chorus 2/10. The chorus ruins it for me but I still appreciate this song a lot and its message<3 that chorus is just terrible, in my opinion, though I know most of you love it<3 The rest of the tracks, I'm relatively neutral about. I'm not crazy about GBA's chorus and I like exercising/walking around the city at night to In My Feelings but it's nothing special (though the verses are kind of iconic..."sobbing in my coffee"). Lust For Life, the track is still just OK to me! BPBP is decent, too. I'm getting used to it. It's just not what I expected. Lol sorry I keep editing this. I keep accidentally posting this when it's still unfinished, but whatever. Hope y'all are enjoying the album as much as I am. Much love<3 -

Finally an interpretation that sounds right and not outlandish. I agree with this analysis! Fans can get crazy & deep in their interpretations of her songs but this is really good and realistic

Lust For Life - Pre-Release Thread
HunterSThompson replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
I am having such an emotional response to parts of this record. Change, in particular, really resonates with me. "Maybe by the time summer's done I'll be able to be..." hits me so hard. I just permanently moved to California from New Jersey (east to west coast) by myself at 19 and I'm at such a transitional point in my life & I can feel Lana is there too. I can just tell we both are doing all these things to make us happy but it's still not in our grasps and it feels like we've gotten as far as we can get. It's all so confusing and scary but at the same time hopeful. Heroin is another song that really resonates with me (and tons of you I think) because I can just feel the emotion in the song. It's one of my favorite songs she has ever released, to be honest. I almost cried when I first heard it. Especially living in California and being in the places she talks about in the song, I can just feel the lyrics she sings behind the beautiful desert-like production. So, I just wanted to come on here and say thank you for going on this crazy LFL era ride with me, I'm so happy to have found people with a similar musical passion to me here and I am happy we are enjoying this record, albeit early because we are spoiled fans who know no boundaries lol jk y'all love you. I also just want to say that I hope y'all found a song that hits you as hard as Change hits me. It feels good to know that I'm going through this ambiguous & transitional & confusing period of my life with my favorite artist. It makes me feel less lonely <3
