  1. I honestly don't understand how people can be so ignorant towards such beautiful music. I was downstairs watching tv with my family yesterday and Lust For Life came on, and they were all like "why do you like this? It's so slow and dreary, it's making me wanna cut". And i'm like whatttttt? It's like nobody actually pays atention to lyrics anymore. Also the fact that she kills herself in the video didn't help either... though i tried explaining that it was just a metaphore about diving into the unknown and coming out on the bright side but they still didn't get it. Eugh it makes me so madd.

     

    Watch Lana get apprieciated a million times more once she dies... it happens all the time. They'll be like "aww we loved her songs blah blah blah"

     

    Lust For Life is like one of her least slow and dreary songs?? The lyrics are really sweet too, c'mon! ( > 3 < ) I guess I understand people who don't like her music because I usually judge a song by its melody (especially if it's playing in the background and I don't care about the lyrics) and if it's not appealing to me, then... (   > __ > ) If the song sounds nice, I give the lyrics a try. (Except for my favourite artists ofc, I always listen to their lyrics, this applies more to radio songs they keep on repeat) But great lyrics can really lift a song to another level.

     

    I remember that I played Summertime Sadness for some high school classmates on one evening during our trip to Dublin and they didn't recognise it until someone realized it was that remix they had all heard. Ugh. I just wanted them to know the real song, the real feelings the lyrics give, because honestly, that remix do no favour to the lyrics at all. Kristijan Majic is more or less the only guy who makes remixes that fit the feelings the lyrics want to tell. He's a Lana remix god. ♥ Fucked my way up to the top is like... a sparkling jewel among all the Lana remixes. His are better than the official ones, I don't know why Universal won't hire him to do the remixes (or however it works).

  3. I MAY BE COMPLETELY WRONG HERE AND A BIT DELULU but I'm 99% sure that the Swedish radio stations played Queen of Disaster a whole summer on repeat all days long, and I liked it - a cute song about love with a fun beat. The radio stations almost made me sick of it though, they played it so often.

    I had no idea that it was Lana back then, I wasn't interested in her songs yet (I bet I hadn't even heard her name yet) and can you imagine how surprised I was when I found out some time later that my favorite artist Lana Del Rey was that singer they played all summer??

    And I suppose the radio stations found out that it's unreleased because they haven't played it since. I guess someone just found it online and then played it on the radio one summer, lol. Ah, the royalties she could've gotten..!

     

    Is there someone else who's Swedish and can confirm this? Because... I'm pretty sure I heard Queen of Disaster that summer! Or am I having made up memories??


  4. I used to read a lot more manga as a kid (studying takes up too much time now (and internet distractions lol)), but some of my all time favorites are:

    Ranma 1/2 (I looooove Ranma, I don't think I'll ever get over it)

    Versailles no bara (or "The rose of Versailles")

    Pita-ten

    Chobits

     

    Manga that will have a special place in my heart (except for Ranma and PitaTen):

    Dragon Ball

    Sailor Moon

    InuYasha (haven't had the time to finish it + kinda forgot where I stopped... *sobs*)

    Magic Knight Rayearth

     

    And I have hundreds I wanna read, but you know... time.

     

    I really like Hergé's comics about Tintin too, I watched the cartoon as a kid and it's kind of nostalgic to read them. ❤️

    -----------------

    Fun fact: I based my username on the mangaka group CLAMP that created Cardcaptor Sakura and other classic mangas! :)


  5. I can't help but feeling a bit sad because she's teasing us so many snippets but I don't know if they all will be there when the album is done.  :deadbanana:  I hope this one will make it though, I feel like she has something she wants to share with us, her thoughts and feelings.

     

    But then again, I hope all the snippets will make it to the album.  :creep: 


  6. Yes, I've never been really good at it, but I'm proud that I made it to the best engineering uni here in Sweden (but I failed everything that involved math, lol, I didn't want to become a civil engineer anyway).

     

    Do you agree that 4-color pens are better than 1-color option pens?  :creep:
