  1. So, via her recent Twitter spree, Marina has confirmed the following:

    -She's only worked with Dan once, unlikely to be working with him for the 3rd album

    -She really likes Miley Cyrus

    -She wants/has planned to do a Q&A by the end of summer

    -3rd album is different to Electra Heart

    -She feels that a lot of people have misconceptions about her because of how different TFJ and EH were


  2. There's one line in the bridge that I can't decipher -

     

    ...

    I'm stronger than all my men

    Except for you

    Don't say you need me if

    You xxxxxxx

    I can't do it, I can't do it

    But you do it well

     

    Some one have that line?

    You're leaving, you leave again


  3. Ultraviolence - LDR

    Night Time My Time (Limited Edition including Ghost EP) - Sky Ferreira [didn't actually buy this, it was bought for me but whateverrrr]

     

    Might buy True Romance, Hunter Hayes (Encore Edition) and Storyline soon, not too sure...

    I love this analysis of the lyrics!!! Although I believe that the first verse is from Lana's POV. To me, I think she is saying 'are you gonna walk out on me now? are you going to tell me you want to break up now, or will you tell me later?' The bit about going to town is slightly mocking - she's saying that maybe he should wait to tell Lana that he wants to break up when it's 'safer'; the irony is that it will never be 'safe' to break up with her because she will always end up being hurt.


  5. A lot of other members say they have and I've heard some things secondhand from CalendarGirl that David Kahne supposedly told her, but I've actually never contacted him myself. I was always too gun-shy. :ohno: But it's probably overdue for me to do so.

     

    This assumes good design sense (Have you seen the Paradise cover or the various Kill Kill EP cover designs?) and that the cover art we know of was the cover art that went with this back cover. I don't necessarily assume that nor that this back cover definitely is legit. But I'm personally inclined to believe it may be for a few reasons. Nothing else seems obviously wrong about it and a lot is right. It says "Lana Del Ray" not "Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant" even though I'm pretty sure this surfaced on LDR.FM before it was pointed out there that the title is really just Lana Del Ray. It spells her name "Ray" which was correct at the time and correctly spells and capitalizes the titles. It titles "Little Girls" the same as it was when you could still download it from the 5 Points web site. And correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that photo has surfaced apart from this cover design. If it's a fan-made fake, it's a fucking good one by someone with an exclusive photo that has never leaked.

    I've only ever seen the one Kill Kill cover (the one where she's looking directly at the camera with the flowers). What do the other ones look like?


  6. Is This Happiness is so tragic I have to skip it sometimes. Same with Flipside - it's so unbelievably sad.

    The live version of Hundred Dollar Bill during the Lizzy days is quite sad to me. Whereas the studio version(s) are quite playful, the live version puts a sad spin on the song. The studio version sounds as if Lana is this self-assured, confident woman who sells herself for money and loves it. The live version suggests that Lana has been manipulated into selling herself and the 'but there's nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill' line makes it seem as if she's lamenting the fact that she no longer owns her body - it's property of Jimmy or whoever else sells her.


  7. I think it's about loving someone so much, even when they've hurt you and left you. Loving someone unconditionally, despite the fact that they don't love you back. "If you change your mind, I'll come come come" - they love and are with somebody else, but you're still holding on to the hope that they'll change their mind. The "blue hydrangea", to me, sounds like Lana is remembering things that remind her of her lover - fragments of memories from when they were together.


  8. It should be called Pretty When I Cry

    I disagree, I like it as you because it sounds like the guy is telling her that; he's saying 'you're pretty when you cry', which she reiterates throughout the song itself as 'i'm pretty when i cry' in a sort of warped sense. If the title had been I, it would've seemed as if Lana had come up with this validation herself. By saying you, it makes it seem that the guy has warped Lana's sense of judgement to make her think that she is most attractive when she is upset - it's essentially an excuse for the guy's negligence of Lana and his use of narcotics.

     

    Basically, 'Pretty When I Cry' is the twisted self from the Born to Die era. 'Pretty When You Cry' is the self that has been twisted through drugs and others; this is the Ultraviolence era.


  9. I agree, but only to a point; Lana is not the only artist under any trade, be it music, literature, etc., that has established a particular method and ideal in her craft that's in her element. And as someone in the arts myself, I do not think anyone should have to apologize or compromise their art for the sake of the general public who can easily set their attention on artists that cater to their sensitivities. I do not think there's anything wrong with what Lana said. Controversial? Yes. Wrong? I think it's really unfair to invalidate someone's feelings just because they're otherwise not understood by everyone else. Yes, she should probably exercise better self-monitoring skills and develop a more "less-means-more" approach to answering questions in her interviews, but let's not disregard that Lana has always been generally cryptic and vague, and it's kind of unfair that when she does speak with candor, it turns into a hen-pecking session. And if she does keep it vague, she gets criticized for "lack of authenticity." She's damned if she does, damned if she doesn't, and that really sucks. And I'd have the same gripe about it if it was another artist.

    I completely understand and agree with your points. whilst I don't think Lana should 'hide' her opinions or even lie about them, I think Lana definitely needs to think about what she says before she says it. she needs to think about HOW she is expressing her opinion and HOW it can be seen by other people. there's absolutely nothing wrong with Lana informing us of her views (I encourage it, if anything), but unfortunately the media is a manipulative force that appears near-determined to flatten her into the ground, as this incident proves.


  10. lmao some of you guys need to calm the fuck down; quit bashing Sky and Frances. as Sky rightfully said, the issue is suicide, not Lana. i swear some of y'all are such blind Lana followers that you instantly support what she says, whether it's right or not. Lana isn't a perfect person, she says and does things that are problematic (eg. the whole 'whore' debate from Fucked My Way) and i think it's right that people point this out to her. in the interview, she does say that she wishes she was dead, but i feel she was goaded into that response and didn't expect the huge backlash that appeared as a result. Frances is reminding Lana that she is a celeb now; she has to monitor what she says because it can and will be misconstrued. stop hating on Frances and Sky because they say things you disagree with.
