    Something more current, that's interesting. I actually had an issue with Coachella first listen, didn't hate it, but was actually a bit underwhelmed, but the chorus and bridge just sold it. The concept changed the meaning of the song, sort of amplified it and it got better imo

    Lust For Life! Music video totally changed my opinion about this track, now i can't listen to it without doing this funny, little dance at the beginning

    I used to hate Pretty When You Cry like really really much.
    But now I love it.

    Sad Girl was a song I did not like when UV came out, mostly because the lyrics are pretty ... stripped back. But it really grew on me - the instrumental has this sort of gangster-movie-scene-in-a-dark-smokey-bar vibe and her vocals are on point. It's the only song she ever did that actually sounds sort of jazz-ish.
     
    And for like three days I wasn't impressed with West Coast. I guess I just was a bit too much into her unreleased stuff at that time and hoped for something different. At first, I only really liked the German Radio Mix, but then the song started to "hypnotize" me and it became my favourite Lana track.

    Off To The Races and West Coast I used to hate, but now are some of my favourite songs of all time

    Yayo (Paradise) which now happens to be my favorite Lana song of all time.
     
    I thought for my age it sounded too mature, slow and dreary. I just couldn't really get into it. Then one day it came on shuffle so I decided to give it a chance. When I was listening to it fully, I noticed her breathtaking angelic vocals, the sweet twinkle of the piano and the cheeky yet honest lyrics Lana sang. It was like I had an awakening. I literally thought to myself "I can't believe all this time I never gave this a chance." I was kicking myself lol. Then I started listening to it again and again continuously.

    I feel like not many people here like it. I never used to. I thought it sounded pretentious, preppy and way too child-like. But the thing that drew me in to give this song another chance was the cute little melody in the very beginning of the song. It sounded like a melody I heard in old movies.
    I decided to give it a chance. It was still a struggle to listen to and take seriously, but once you break through that barrier, you can notice all the good things about the song. The flawless production, how Lana's lyrics reminisce a youthful story, the beautiful string arrangements etc.
    Now when I listen to it, I feel like I'm having fun in my own way. I think it's an underrated bop.

    Summertime Sadness. I really disliked it when I first heard it on the album and I didn't get into it until she released the music video I believe.
     
    I also first really liked Born to Die and then quickly fell out of love with it and decided I didn't like it? I think this was the summer of 2012 when the God Bless America mixtape came out and everything on that was just so incredibly different from Born to Die (the song). High pitched signing, fast beats, a twangy sound that was not dark per say. I didn't get back into it until last year, and now it's one of my favorites. So literally 4 years of completely ignoring that song and now it's one of my favorites. Crazy.

    Gods And Monsters. When I started listening to Lana back in 2013 I downloaded Born To Die and Paradise and I don't know why Paradise had a terrible quality til the point many songs were cut, the version of Body Electric was the live performance from the iTunes Festival, Yayo was the AKA version and G&M had a terrible quality and listening to it even hurt, so I hated it. Eventually I gave it a chance when in June 2013 she said she would be making a music video for G&M and I went to YouTube and listened to the song and found out the Paradise album that I had downloaded was fucking trash.

    also don't know if any other UK fans are watching the trashy reality mess that is Love Island, but I've noticed they've played two Lana instrumentals (Ride and Art Deco) over 'emotional' scenes of people pretending they're in love after meeting earlier that day

    I don't have anything productive to churn out, but I'm just commenting bc I'd like to think the thread could build up to 1500 pages before we get the record.

    Summertime Sadness. It was the tragic time where the remix was all over radio and when I found the original I could NOT get into it for my life. Looking back years later and I fucking hate the remix but it was what introduced me to Lana Del Rey in the first place, thankful for that I guess.
     
    There are so many other songs that I never hated but I just couldn't get into for a long time, not until just recently for some. For example I didn't care for Florida Kilos until a couple weeks ago. Million Dollar Man and Without You were the songs on BTD that I had a strong dislike for and felt ruined a near-perfect album until a couple weeks ago also, now I quite enjoy them both. I didn't like Yayo (either version) much either ( ) until a couple months ago. 
     
    Other than those in particular there aren't other noteworthy ones that I had the biggest change of opinion on. A lot of her album tracks just took me a handful of listens over a lengthy period of time to properly appreciate and now I regularly listen to them all.

    Well this one's easy. I disliked Video Games until it started to grow on me after the iTunes festival in 2012

    I personally thought White Mustang was amazing. Change is I guess more of a slow burner, but the lyrical content was top knotch
