People just logging in are like "what the actual fuck"

The second chapter from Lana Del Rey's chronological story finds the singer at her darkest and most angry. Gone are the days of unlimited, loyal love for troublesome men -- now, she calls them for what they are: 'fucking crazy' drug-addicts. However, the character is not ready to let go and get out of this violent situation (as we see on the next chapter, the thoughtful Honeymoon), so we accompany her through this world of madness, sarcasm, contagious depression and unexpected fame.

 



 

Ultraviolence is the first and only collaboration between Lana Del Rey and The Black Keys' frontman, Dan Auerbach. The result is a dreamy soundscape of distorted, psychedelic guitars, angsty drum patterns and distant vocals. This state of mind of confusion and haze is elevated by Vincent Haycock and his trippy "West Coast" music video and Neil Krug with his blurry vision of Del Rey.

 



 

The album was Lana's first No. 1 record in the United States and it sold around 3 million copies worldwide. It's also one of her most-streamed projects to date. Its lead single, "West Coast", was universally acclaimed and became one of her biggest radio hits. Ultraviolence was applauded by critics and ranked high in many year-end lists.

 



 

Let's celebrate!

Have you ever been blessed by a song from this album live?

i don't care that she's feeding us with a song every week. era 1 was better. this new era feels.... i don't know, so different. i still love her and i bop to every single she released so far, but there's no way i will like songs like broken or clarity more than masterpieces like hillside boys or slow it down

Since the original page for the lyrics of Bel Air turned to a mess and was merged with something else (that I didn't care to read because it's always a mess), here's a new thread. Discuss a masterpiece! :
 
 
 
 
Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate. Trying to tell me to wait, But I can’t wait to see you. So I run like I'm mad to heaven's door. I don't wanna be bad, I won't cheat you no more.   Roses, Bel Air, take me there, I've been waiting to meet you. Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night Darling, I'm waiting to greet you, Come to me, baby.   Spotlight, bad baby, you've got a flair For the violentest kind of love anywhere out there   Mon amour, sweet child of mine, You're divine. Didn't anyone ever tell you It's ok to shine?   Roses, Bel Air, take me there, I've been waiting to meet you. Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night. Darling, I'm waiting to greet you, Come to me, baby.   Don't be afraid of me, don't be ashamed. Walk in the way of my soft resurrection Idol of roses, iconic soul. I know your name. Lead me to war with your brilliant direction.   Roses, Bel Air, take me there, I've been waiting to meet you. Palm trees in the light, I can see late at night. Darling, I'm waiting to greet you, Come to me, baby.   Roses, Bel Air, take me there, I've been waiting to meet you. Grenadine, sunshine, can you fade inside of mine? Darling, I'm waiting to greet you, Come to me, baby.

Beautiful People; Original Meaning
 
Response to her notorious Guardian interview fiasco. Putting her trust into the interviewer and he takes that to his advantage and makes an extremely controversial comment into the headline. The song’s chorus details the public’s view on the situation. The verses go ultra Lana Del Rey purposely to combat the comments about her songwriting, possibly too much as she describes abuse from her lover.
 
“You get so mad when I complain” The public gets mad at her for saying what she had said.
“You think I’m crazy but” While they get mad, they also don’t see why she’s hurt.
“I hear them talk, they say my name” The press, critics, public talk all about her.
 
Then in the chorus we switch to the POV of the public.
“All these beautiful people with beautiful problems//God knows I’ve got them” Celebrites with problems that normal people face everyday, the public doesn’t recognize that celebrities can have real problems and they discard it as them being dramatic.
“She wants to die, then she should fucking try” GP’s opinion on the situation, If Lana really wants to die then she should do it instead of complaining.
 
Then in the bridge background vocals come in “I can tell you what I really want”, she’s going telling the GP she doesn’t really want to die, but it’s a cry for help.
 
I won’t get into the verses since they don’t seem to have much to do with the general message other than being sarcastic. But the original song just goes to show how deeply she was affected by the Guardian interview and how much trust she had lost in interviewers and the public’s opinion on her. Even now today she’s obviously still affected, recording every interview, being cautious about what she speaks about and never letting herself feel comfortable in interviews anymore. Fuck the Guardian guy, It makes me so so so SO angry how he claimed to be a fan and to let her wall down and completely stabbed her in the back for a headline. Even going as far as leaking the audio when she tried to save herself. I hope he’s happy his favorite artist will never ever have love for him again

thank you lust for life for making me appreciate lana's earlier records even more 

i think we should forget LFL ever happened and hope the next album has no similarities

Her not leaking it is homophobic

Can't wait till it leaks so I don't have to visit this festering website for another 2 years

Unbelievable. I can't believe so many of you managed to flood nearly 20 pages of this thread with useless content. I love you guys to pieces, but this was truly unacceptable.

Anyone involved in the flooding of pages 1909-1926 of this thread has been giving 2 warning points for spamming & your content will be moderated for approval for one week. 

Keep in mind, there is the Random Conversation Thread as well as the PM feature if you all feel that you need to have these kinds of "discussions." I'm not trying to censor you all, but there is a certain place for the type of content that has filled the past few pages, and this thread is not that place. Thank you for your future cooperation & understanding.

Lots of love. xoxo

Every day we stray further & further from the intended purpose of this thread

no

So how is my life now that I'm free from the Lust For Life hell?
 
Today I woke up earlier full of energy. I've stretched. Physical activity? No prob fam. I had decent breakfast & then lots of fruit that I bought today as I was taking a WALK. A walk? Fresh air during pre-release period? Yes, that's possible. Then I watched some educational programs as I put some face mask on. All FANCY, FAM. Now I'm casually checking Lanaboards before actual STUDYING knowing that I'm BEYOND MELTDOWN and I don't need you stressing me out Lana. Not anymore. My sunday was nice, warm, full of smiles and absolutely no thoughts on the dAMN ALBUM.
 
:legend:
Jk I'd still lowkey care if Ben started some new drama but shh

i think that honeymoon's promo singles were a lot more fresh and complex, composition-wise. it just showed her sheer originality. 
 
i feel like the new stuff she's come out with is completely uninspired. 

I didn't realize that Chuck produces music now.

Oh no, it's not. Love is actually pretty amazing, LFL is just boring, this is straight up repulsive

Like it or not, you have to admit that she is obviously losing all the glamour and greatness she displayed on Born To Die, Paradise, Ultraviolence and even Honeymoon.
The music is the usual-pop-stuff and it isn't really close to her usual "Hollywood-glamour"-aura.
She started to decay with the Weeknd collabs, now she's just one of many artists doing alt-pop.

Holy fuck can we just stop mentioning LIB every 2 posts? It will never make any album! Let it go

I want Yoko screams on the record.
 
She's the new yelling guy like on BTD.

After 400 fucking pages of bullshit, we finally made it guys. We finally made it.
