🚨Lana Del Rey has officially met her first gay person🚨

It's so calming and beautiful  love how her voice sounds like it's underwater towards the end. The  way she sings "I believe" reminds me a bit of Riverside for some reason

It’s both, Sweet Dragolina

The melody when she says 'heavenly' sounds like "to the sea/you feel free" in dragonslayer!!

Paris, Texas
Lost At Sea
Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing
 

All my friends tell me I should move on
I'm lying in the ocean, singing your song
I wish I was dead 
Dead, like you
Found my way to the beach
There were waves over me
I was lost at sea
But, sometimes, it's just not your time
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
I was lost at sea
'Til you found me
Let it crash over me like the waves in the sea
Call me Aphrodite
As they bow down to me

It is giving Yosemite mixed with Norman Fucking Rockwell and strangely Yayo

This is gorgeous, it is like a Norman Fucking Rockwell version of Yayo😭

If Lana was invited to Vogue Life In Looks, which of her iconic outfits would you want her to revisit and discuss?
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think most songs are about the struggle of a young, modern day woman (with a "weak constitution") trying really really hard to create this perfect suburban life for herself and her partner(s), and continuously failing to do so and burning herself out in the process. So I can see both ways. As a criticism of the men around her, and of the picturesque version of domestic life she tries to conform to. 

In all honesty I see both Born To Die and Norman Fucking Rockwell to be tongue-in-cheek exaggerations of certain aspects of modern Western culture. 
 
On BTD, even the title itself seems to make fun of both the nihilism in American culture and the consumerism of drugs, glamor, etc. (I.e., you aren't born to live or born to succeed, you're born to live fast, consume as much as possible, and die doing so). The songs explore this teenage-fantasy-wasteland where a lot of life's problems can be escaped by having sex, doing drugs, and constantly living on the run. It's about the extremes of the excess in our culture. 
 
On NFR, the title is sarcastic. Norman Rockwell was an American propagandist who drew picturesque scenes of rural American life, and helped sell the idea of "the simple life" in suburbs and rural areas. Putting the "fucking" between his name expresses mockery and disdain of Norman and what he stood for. The songs themselves are softer, calmer, and the subject mature more introspective. The songs discuss the burnout caused by trying to create this perfect little suburban life for yourself, and in a way it echos the theme of BTD--in that whether you embrace the teenage-fantasy-wasteland of degeneracy, or try to embrace the Norma Rockwell suburban utopia, you still end up empty, alone, and craving something more concrete than either empty version of Western culture. 

NFR, just like BTD, has this incredible feeling of « encapsulating the American culture » of this peculiar era, stepping a bit outside of Lana’s realm, into a larger scope, to tell the story of the decay of the US dream and American loneliness pre-pandemic. I guess it’s why it is still today considered her « best work » by critics. 
UV, HM and OB, although phenomenal, all lack that « time capture », concentrating on Lana’s story or getting into a certain vibe (although there are some « sprinkles » of postpandemic world in OB, it’s not as «present » as Norman or Born to Die, IMO). 

So I was at MITA last night and was so lovely to finally see Lana after 10 years! I was really happy that she sang Flipside, Ultraviolence and Cherry - my favorites. Also I was under the feeling I was a part of something really special being in her first concert in years. I could see she was very emotional and happy.
 
Unfortunatelly since I was so far from the stage I couldn't hear her too well, her mic sound was very low and honestly the parts I was able to hear the most was the playback parts. She was 20 minutes late and the outfit change took so long, as a result we endend up having shorten versions of the songs... 
 
Anyway was a great night but I was there at the Paradise tour concert in Rio back in 2013 and her singing was much better then, I was able to hear her voice perfectly and I was so close to the stage, so I at least have one great concert of hers to cherish. But I'm sure the folks who were very close to the stage last night probably had a totally different experience than I had.
