Beautiful Loser

I felt like I could’ve skipped the first 6 minutes since it was the same thing I’ve already heard about the album. And I reeaallyy agree with Lana on Jhené, I think she’s very brave to write an album on her brother that passed away! I almost finished watching her mini film but I couldn’t at the end because it was so sad... so I stopped. Haven’t listened to her album yet either. But I will. And yay, Lana’s stage sounds interesting! I wish she’ll come back to other European cities so I’ll have a chance to see it too!

Demand Lana to give your money back for the shirt. False advertising!!

I picked up my vinyl this weekend like I wrote above and snapped a few pictures of all my Lana records together. Sharing them here for people who don’t follow me on Insta and have seen them already.

I think they added them in a way to sound ironic - “God bless America” *blam blam* it’s like you say one thing but the gunshots say something else, like... may god bless the country but the people in it still kill each other which won’t make it blessed after all.Or something.

I’m currently halfway through Get Free and sitting on the train to my university town and won’t let this ruin my mood.

I’m so glad Lana wrote and added Change to the album. It’s so beautiful and the message really comes through with just a piano and a few simple sound effects added to it. I love it so much.

The set list looked good to me! Nice transitions between the songs.

Got an answer that the blue vinyl won’t be for sale in Sweden since music has been selling badly here. Customer service gave me an Amazon link, but it doesn’t seem to be the blue vinyl to me. https://www.amazon.com/Born-Die-Lana-Del-Rey/dp/B006ZWLXZ8 I’ll ask my favorite record shop if they can somehow import it instead!

I opened mine yesterday, and it's just as green as yours. And honestly I'm a tiny bit disappointed, I hoped it would be more clear. Maybe the vinyls from her European webshop is more green when they mold them compared to the US? Lana's vinyl from her insta looked pretty clear to me...

I'd love to have one but I know my wallet wouldn't let me. Trying to save some money if she adds more European dates on the tour...

^ Coachella is up on her YouTube though?

YOU HAVE ME DEAD

... Can I hope that Media Markt on the Swedish market will sell them too..? Probably not, I’ve only seen them selling cheap CDs that no one cares about. But then again, I haven’t really been in their stores so often. ... I’m gonna contact them and ask, lol!

I sat on the train home and listened through Lust For Life, all the songs... and I just had a moment and appreciated everything she has done for us. Gorgeous photoshoots. Interviews. An interview and a performance on camera. Communicating with fans through Instagram. Festivals. Promotion shows. A world tour, more festivals. Music videos and hopefully one or two more. And a wonderful album filled with such amazing songs. I just...

(Isn’t there a similar thread already?) I heard about Lana first when the newspapers wrote about her, but that naturally wouldn’t be enough to make me listen to her music. But her stage name is fantastic and didn’t go from my mind. And Sweden is the land of H&M and there’s stores literally everywhere, so of course I saw her interesting face and read her name even more. But it still wasn’t enough to make me listen to her music, I was like “eh, just another celebrity doing photo shoots for clothes”. But her NAME. It was stuck in my mind. So a few months later, I searched for her name on YouTube and watched Born To Die. And man, that was not interesting at all, a slow melody with a slow beat that I wasn’t used to. So I let her go. Another month later, I went on YouTube again and typed in her name. The name was stuck like I said and I had to give her another chance. And nope, Born To Die sounded the same but hey, at least the video was pretty. Video Games was odd too. And Summertime Sadness. But a week went by (I think) and I came back a third time. And the then I saw the light and fell in love with her. I think it was Video Games or Summertime Sadness that made me love her. I immediately fell in love with her dark voice that was so different from everyone else. I was impressed. So after that, I played the whole Born To Die, Paradise edition, on Spotify in the living room (dad LOVED Ride and mom thought Lana was a girl group since her voice shifted so much lol) and shortly after, I bought the record and read the lyric book while waiting for my commuter train, trying to remember the melodies. The end.

I woke up 50 minutes ago and I’m still happy!!! YES, NEW VIDEOS!! She still manages to surprise us. I just hope it’ll be much better than the White Mustang video.

DID SHE JUST SAY THERE’LL BE MORE VIDEOS??!!! OR AM I STILL NOT FULLY AWAKE??

This is the thread for expressing your love for specific Lana lyrics and why they feel special to you! We all love her songs... but is there a certain part of any of them that makes your fan heart beat a little extra? I'll start! Get Free There's no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance But then you try to touch them There's nothing to hold onto The colors used to lure you in and put you in a trance Why it's extra special to me: First of all, I'm simply amazed that Lana wrote this. It's so beautiful and illustrates a feeling very well. Something that I've been feeling too. That you try to stay on course for your goal, you were so into reaching them.... and you may never reach them... or if you finally did, it wasn't like you thought it would be and your dreams and goals just shatter. And then you're kinda lost because you don't know where to go or what to do now. And boy, I feel so lost and confused in this moment of my life. It's just so beautiful to me.

Menstruation

What are snickers-what?? cookies? I have to google a picture... .... ........ I've never had those before and the chocolate chip cookies look funnier. I'll choose choco chip. Gold or silver jewelry?

I love making pinning my hair up into buns/swirls, let them dry and then get messy curls. Takes forever to dry though so I don't do it so often. :/ Otherwise... I hardly style my hair at all. Just throwing it into a ponytail/bun/braid/easy half-up and that's it. Favorite Lana look? (on/off stage, doesn't matter)

Hate it. Decorating for a holiday?

National Anthem VS Burnt Norton - Interlude

She did? I thought she neither admitted nor denied that it was true, that people thinks she did it before she became famous but it was nothing she really... admitted or denied. Maybe I just remember it wrong? I just thought it was clever of her to not say anything because she kept the mysterious aura and "image" of a side-mistress...
