Beautiful Loser

If I may jump on this persona discussion too...
 
To me, Lana had really built up her own world and had been playing with that idea for years when she started to be serious about music. And it may have been a good idea because it made her stand out among other girls who wanted to make it too. Here's this girl who brings americana, glamour and the total opposite of glamour, heart broken songs that people can connect to - she wasn't afraid to play a role that might come off as vulgar (thinking about Boarding School among others... >___< ). She made up a character mixed up with her own experiences and old Hollywood films and 50's lifestyle (always pleasing the man and putting them first).
However, I don't think she can play that role forever. But I do think that she will keep the dangerous and depressing theme with her for a long time, and maybe go back once again to her past life. And, hopefully, create songs with a more cheerful message in the future, as we've seen in this album.
For me, Lana has always been a mood-setter with all the strings, guitars and drums and also a great storyteller. She takes you to her world, which is fantastic. A lot of songs today are simple love songs, but Lana makes you feel something, makes you feel what she feels. Although she probably adds some fantasy in it too.
 
So I'm not afraid if she decides to go political, happy or whatever she'll go in the future - she'll always be able to make me enter her world anyway.
Remember that most of her (released) songs are about her past and I don't know how much more she has to tell about that or if she wants to remember those things.

They caught that motherfucker in Barcelona 

This world is a sick ass place. Glad they caught the piece of shit.

Bridge:
Even with you, I've got no one to lose,
so you'd better believe
that nobody can make me feel lonely,
because I hear (sweetest melodies)

Even when you talk that talk with the lights on,
I still somehow know that
I'll never feel, never feel lonely;
I have no fear -
it's got me thinking (yeah)

Counter-Melody in Final Chorus:
Even when you talk that talk with the lights on,
I know somehow I feel like
I'll never feel, never feel lonely;
I have no fear -

Even with you, I've got no one to lose,
I know somehow that
I'll never feel, never feel lonely;
I have no fear -

I love the way she sings the lyrics during the counter-melody. The notes are so sweet, smooth, and make me even more emotional hearing the lines. Fucking superb song.

I'm a barrister.

This sure is a mess, I'm glad I didn't know about this site back then (I probably wouldn't give him any money anyway) but if my money went to him, I'd write to him and tell him that my cousin is an attorney/lawyer and will help me.
Because she is. 
 
Isn't there anyone here with some kinds of connections to an attorney? Just to threaten him and get your money back? Like "my cousin's friend is one" or something alike. It might work?

I can't really connect to any of her songs (never been in love and never had relationship problems... never a real crush, never done bad things) but gosh I LOVE THE LANA UNIVERSE!! I can't get enough, it's like jumping into different movies!  
I don't like their material to get leaked (mainly because it still makes her sad for a second) but the instrumentals for this album... they sound fantastic!! I wanna hear them and find a new favorite apart from Blackest Day (which sounds superb without vocals too - amazing!) 
Ok I should sleep, enough fangirling for today. Bye.

i would asked for my money back right then and there. lol
 
must be nice to be able to go to Lana show after stealing a shit ton of money from her fans.
tisk.

UGH the radio station I'm forced to listen to at work every day of my life keeps mentioning Lana, first about her hitting number 1 and now about her "tour" for lust for life but they have NEVER FUCKING PLAYED A SONG BY HER. I remember they used to play that Taylor swift song all the time and if I was in the back I'd hear it muffled and always think it was without you for a sec (as if they'd ever play that)

If we get no instrumentals for Cherry and Heroin imma die or something

Omfg..there HAS to be some other way. Hackers where you at? People with inside connections where you at???? Avengers Assemble

Yes yes yes

@Clampigirl I share your point of view! I absolutely love her Lizzy Grant and early Lana Del Rey work, and I sometimes feel a little nostalgic about all these feelings and vibes that she used to transmit in her old songs. I always felt closer to her more than I did with other artists, and her persona was relatable because it offered such a pleasant and glamorous vision of this vague melancholia and nostalgia that many people feel. Her voice and her writing talents being the blessings they are, she managed to create her own universe in which she could take her fans, make them feel less alone and bring beauty into their lives. I'm ready to follow her wherever she goes. It's all benefit for us to stan such a queen
