    Yup, although the 2016 awards took place at the end of January.
     
    Just go to page 18, that's where the iconique red carpet started.

    I'm a Swede and still understand 3 of those four words. We really did borrow a lot of German words hundreds of years ago.
    Thank you so much for the translation! I really appreciated it.

    How do you know? I honestly though it was "and I, and I, and I, I fall to pieces"  
     
     
     
     
    Also, what are the lipster categories?
     
    The award for most #extra should not go to one person, it should just go to this thread itself.

    The pictures we have are beautiful, and they do have a theme to them... I just wanted more of a balance of Lana + scenery, more pictures in general, lyrics (I was expecting the whole - 1-2 lines from each song like on Honeymoon/Ultraviolence), and not messed up lyrics for Love (come on ) Like, we've got two pictures of Jack Colker's Union 76, which I've seen before in person, so its not like its new or original. You can literally find that image almost exactly on pinterest
     
    Maybe if we had a video clip of the BTS or words about why they chose the locations they did, it would feel more special. It does seem like it holds meaning to Lana & Chuck though, so maybe we aren't meant to get it. Still, as a fan, I wish we had a better album booklet. It's just simple production value stuff that she doesn't do that keeps them from being great. Honeymoon remains my favorite booklet; it was a beautiful mix of color, aesthetics and scenery and shots of Lana that really conveyed the atmosphere of the record. This one feels a bit more disjointed. I've already preordered the CD (Signed ) and I would regardless of if there even was a booklet, I just feel like for an artist that has such an aesthetic side to her music, her album booklets could be better. This era had amazing photoshoots for magazines and interviews and what not, but the Album cover photoshoot just doesn't do it for me tbh. 
     
    For me, it's not even like Chuck isn't good, or doesn't take good pictures, it just seems like she doesn't pick the right pictures, but I mean its all subjective so.

    It's the first interview where she is so open about her views on Donald Trump, although it's not a lot. I remember when everybody used to think Lana voted for Trump because she's 'believes in the country America used to be'. Lol
     
    @CatchTheBreeze & @ElectricBody thank you!

    CatchTheBreeze sent me this interview, I'm not good with translation so please tell me if something doesn't make sense/ sounds off and I'll change it. I think there is some pretty interesting information on Change.
     
     
     
    "I've got more fun in life now"
    5 years ago shooting star Lana Del Rey amazed and enchanted the world of music with her debut album. On July 21 her fourth record will be released. Which's title is program.
     
     
    I: Mrs Del Rey, your debut record five years ago was called "Born To Die", the new one is called "Lust For Life". Are these album titles documenting where you were standing in your life during the respective time?
     
    LDR: Yes, I've developed in a quite good way, considering my overall feeling of happiness.I am still on the way and growth and chaos will keep me company through my life. But nonetheless I can clearly feel the change. I've got more fun in life than years ago.
     
    I: Is your new song "Change" about this transformation?
     
    LDR: Exactly. "Change" is the last song I wrote for this album. The four words I sing during the chorus are basically saying everything: honest, able, beautiful and stable. That's how I want to be. My whole life is defined by this quest, the quest to belong somewhere, to be part of something. I progressed a lot on this path.
     
    I: How do you know that?
     
    LDR: Because of my behaviour. And the way I deal with people.I've become a lot more relaxed and open-minded. I'msurely more self-assured aswell. In the beginning, I was very afraid, I did not know what people expected from me.I was under heavy surveillance, I lived under a cover everyone wanted to peak under.
     
    I: Why?
     
    LDR: The people were a lot more wary of me than with a lot of other artists. "Video Games", my first single, was very polarizing. I still don't really know why though. Because of that, I had the feeling that I was present in the world of music, but not really a part of it for a long time. By now I'm not afraid to approach people. It's no coincidence I invited a lot of other musicians to be on my new record.
     
    I: Like Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, who's joining you on "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems"
     
    LDR: Stevie is a friend of my producer Rick Nowels. She's so great, I'd call her a friend by now. Stevie's been doing music for 50 years now, she#s been around in the 70s, she's seen everything. One could be jealous. The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - this whole sound of that time, I love it to death. Since I ive in L.A., I've been looking for other artists - other people - who feel the same.
     
    I: Did you already got to know a lot of 60s- and 70s-pop fans?
     
    LDR: The funny thing is, I've built a fantastic circle of friends in L.A, who all share this passion. Father John Misty and his wife Emma Tillman belong to those friends. Or Miles Kane and Alex Turner, the two boys from The Last Shadow Puppets. We're some sort of small folk-community. We spread this Laurel-Canyon-vibe I like a lot.
     
    I: Sean Lennon's on the record aswell, participating on the track "Tomorrow Never Came". How did that happen?
     
    LDR: I'm talking about my ideal relationship on that song. The song is one of the few on this album that's now about me. I use John Lennon and Yoko Ono as an example. I imagine the two of them, sitting on a bank in Central Park intimately, this couple prompts romantic feelings for me. So it immediatly suggested itself to ask Sean, since I also really like his music. And he immediatly told me he'd be there.
     
    I: When was the last time you danced on the "H" of the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles , naked, like you discribe it in the duet "Lust For Life" with Abel Tesfaye alias The Weeknd?
     
    LDR: (laughs) Never, that's pretty high! You can't just reach it with a ladder. But there are some pretty cool cafés and the Beachwood Canyon, which has some beautiful, hidden corners.
     
    I: Your voice and The Weeknd's voice go together perfectly by the way.
     
    LDR: Thanks. Our chemistry's right. Abel was one of the first to post the clip for "Video Games" in 2011. I've contacted him and we became friends.
     
    I: a few weeks ago, you've revealed you put a witch-curse on Donald Trump. Did it work?
     
    LDR: (laughs) I don't know. Everything we see of him now is the same as it was during the voting campaigns. He's actually continuing to be the same. Because of that, I'm afraid the curse hasn't worked yet. I'd really wish for a peaceful, chill time, that's what I talk about on the track "Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind" for example. Where did it go, the golden hippie-age? Instead there are threatening scenarios and Trump keeps on adding fuel to the fire. He said some things, women should be afraid of. I just hope nothing bad happens within the next three-and-a-half years.

    The gas station featured in the album booklet is Jack Colker's Union 76 if anyone was wondering- it is known for its space age design which fits with the retrofuturism theme Lana has been expressing interest in. I also love that it's situated on a place called Crescent Drive. It ties everything together.

    Comeback to Lana del Ray aesthetic? Queen of Gas Station?

    In the german interview @CatchTheBreeze sent me "Change"s chorus is composed out of 4 words. Since it's in german, I don't know how the exact words will be, but it's something like " honest, able, beautiful and stable".

    songs include more than just words and melodies, such as the chords, the progression, and the instrumental break etc

    I liked the photoshoot... the only thing I have to complain about is the inconsistency of a major theme. First, 60's hippie, then the witch theme, the "Peg Entwhistle" and now why fucking trucks????? I dont get it
