Make me your Dream Life

Every time I remember how many of the tracks we don't have, I just start listening to Change, and it's like none of them existed

I’ll put it on right now while I’m sitting in the bus. Today’s warmer temperatures give me Summer Bummer heat vibes.

Was it a fun listen? 

Well.... I was sleeping alone listening to Lana and on a second I heard that Halsey was playing on my PC, I called an exorcist.

What did the exorcist say?   One of the hunties asked as @Lana Rey Loreen commented on their current situation 

Yeah! It's October I think it's reasonable to have a Ghost Stories thread! 

YES! Cool! I just started one in the Lana Thoughts subforum. Apparently, a Lana fan tried taking LiB rights from Lionsgate, only to open the file and have it be a Chainsmokers and Halsey track. They're driving to the LA to the Moon tour now, but encountered something less than desired, all while Cherry was scratching itself on loop, as the hunties kept hearing questions of where the LFL instrumentals were going to arrive --

I guess as an abstract or something, in the spirit of Halloween, I thought it was a great idea to start a thread where we got all of our Lana based fears and turned them into a ghost story of a narrative. Let's make it legendary, let's make it echo for all of Lanaboards, current and future gens to read, and maybe empathize with. Maybe   It works like this, just post a comment connected to the one before yours, and the next member will continue it. Insert a fear tied to Lana's career or artistry that would legit make you shiver or cringe, make it scary.

So let's start 


It started a few nights ago, on the 13th, last Friday. A fellow hunty who loved Lana was making his way across the net, was trying to hack and forge the rights of Life is Beautiful from Lionsgate back to Lana del Grant all to no avail. 



Echos filled the room, and as he opened the file on his music app, there it was. Closer.mp3 by Halset and the Chainsmokers.



The Lana hunty almost fainted to the floor, and began streaming LFL on repeat til his senses came back to him. He then phones his friend, and decide to follow through on their way to the LA to the Moon Tour, driving to their city to where their fave was to perform



Listening to Cherry, and having a portable pole at the back of the car attached like a giant man magnet of an antenna, the audio bluetooth grazed a bit, and set the track on a loop during it's hook. Without the b*tches and fooks  It's like all those questions of the LFL instrumentals just echoed from the faltering bluetooth system as it went. The hunties knew not what to do, then suddenly, in the distance they saw . . .?



 

So, a bit odd, but would anyone want to participate on an online ghost story thread? Lana themed etc? We could start the story along the lines of _________ playing over Coachella in the background   Who's down?


 

To celebrate the forum having risen back from the dead, let's all listen to this bop, that clearly needs a proper video (still beautiful tho)

Every time this thread sort of dies I always start thinking of Money Power Glory as if it'd heat up again so here's the track thinking some sort of news is about to come our way

Tbh BPBP could be a single

So many tracks on the record do just single potential, but this needs to happen the most. I've been imagining a music video with Lana and Stevie on a stage, where they sort of just sing together, and the camera just spins around them, vintage dizzying lights, and a soft glowing filter. Tell em it needs to happen 

Looong live our reign! Long liiive our looove!

U binch. U understand, u did that 

Honestly, the instrumental looks good

Wish it leaked. It really is --

sis I listened to it today like 5 times a row and though the same 

Sis, have a sixth

I don't understand the hype around this song. 

I think it's the worst song on the record. 

And that's ok. It's ok to not be ok sometimes 

Blue is the color of the planet from the view above One of the best tracks on the record hands down

no matter the mood im in i find myself still drawn to paradise, it's just so simple and clean. i know some people say it was rushed or hollow but i dont see it. Blue Velvet, Ride, Gods and Monsters, Body Electric, Burning Desire, Cola, Blue Velvet, American are all incredible. Yayo is a great song but it is a better overall fit with AKA- i wish she kept it a little messier and added back in the background vocals after the 'tunnel lined with yellow lights' bit. It's just an experience, it somehow encapsulates the golden hour of 5-6pm during late summer early fall in which for a few moments, the sky is pink and the sunlight is golden. 

 

 

i love it so much, honeymoon is a close second- borderline equal. 

This post. Perfect. 

we love best american record !

Tho tell me who doesn't     

Title.

So after releasing LFL, Lana's got 5 major releases through her artistry. LFL's pretty current, more socially aware, and having a shift in overall tone to her past work. Lots of timeless tracks the list goes on.

Or can't you help going back to Honeymoon? With it's cohesive soundscape, and its sentimentality? Admittedly, I think Honeymoon is the most true to self album for Lana, and it's just glamorous and so picturesque.

Ultraviolence? With all its rage, and how iconic of most of its tracks? The West Coast surf sound, the lines of grunge, the addiction and the still reverberating sounds to so much of the record? The feel?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py_-3di1yx0

Is it Paradise? The desperation and magnetism of a life searching for the very concept of it? The hot tropical narratives to it? The anthems that somehow both enliven and refract feelings of faded glory? The films?




How do you see Born to Die now, after the extension of Lana's catalogue? Is it a classic? Do you remember the first songs she made and put out first as Lana Del Rey to the public? 



Which album do you always find yourself just getting lost in, more so from the others? Which songs can't you forget?

 

I almost forgot about this sadcore bop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4ELqraXx-U

So on another more serious note, it just occurred to me that another sort of perspective kind of just emerged when it comes to White Mustang. I mean in the track, Lana fell in love and lust with a killer with his hot ride, got in too deep but left it. I mean we were sorta accompanied with Coachella when it came to the friction between the West and NK, and now post Summer, we get a glimpse of a veiled love story. It's this kind of awareness that's just difficult to face head on the very second sometimes. 

Take off take off



Take off all your clothes



*insert LFL hook here*



 

and what about all their wishes!!!!!

 

wrapped up like garland roses!!!!!!!!!!

 

around their little heads!!!

 

i said a fucking prayer for a third fucking time!!!!!!!!1!!

 

ID TRADE IT ALLLLLL FOR A STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

 

DO THE WHOLE SONG QUEEN DAMMIT 

The video that never was - - - 

I'd write a record with her, have genuine conversation about her life, and then probably just bounce ideas off with her. I'd def ask about Life is Beautiful for the others on the forum, and Yosemite, and the music video visuals the list goes on I'm losing track of thought I'll stop there 

The only thing I don’t like about lust for life (song) are the lyrics , don’t get me wrong, they’re fun and cute, but I find them repititive and light, I’d love something more deep than that... but otherwise the song is a BOP <3

See I understand what you're saying, but I guess for me, whenever life gets too deep and everything, I just end up overthinking and spiraling in my head, so it was nice for a change to just have things less layered if that makes sense. 

It's so crazy how we as fans get any Lana news last. It's just..peculiar how that works 

Was lurking and I don't know if someone pointed it before (sorry if) but while checking UO

 

"Comes complete with a download link to the visual album."

Re-Release as a visual masterpiece confirmed n

I think someone realized this like pages ago, but it was discussed that it was just the digital album. I wished it was true too. 

I was at the gym the other day and Coachella just popped up on play, and it wasn't actually as bad put together. I felt like a baby cowboy prostitute. I'd trade it all for a stairway to heaven. I'd take my time just to climb at the top of it. I mean if you think of it, it's like climbing up the stairs to mount yourself onto something you love
