I don't know about you but I'm ready to bring Lanalysis back to life 
 
I'm going to start with Guns And Roses because I think it's quite easy to interpret that one
 
Heavy metal love of mine, he loved guns and roses: the local rockstar type again You didn't want me all the time: that boyfriend played a little game with her Cause you were so much better than the rest of them, out of all the others you were the honest man: naive, little poor baby - she still loves him imo Motorcycle love divine: put me onto your black motorcycle    I wasn't the marrying kind, I should have done it anyway: he was the boy she was engaged with ! today she regrets that they didn't marry, so again --> she still loves him We should have left Las Vegas and then began again: so they broke up in Vegas after they had traveled 2 hours to get there, something really serious must've happened Detroit ???: did Lana ever mention Detroit ???, it takes much longer to drive to Vegas from Detroit btw Back to the promised land: she wants to go back to the time when she still believed in their relationship I can feel it coming in the air tonight: maybe she had already feared that they would break up before they actually did because a fight turned out to be quite bad  I can see you bathing in the summer light: they are on a hot location (Las Vegas), it seems like she observes him and still admires him even though they don't talk anymore You got game boy: I don't get it, I just don't get it  as a conclusion I would say that Guns And Roses is about Jimmy. he fits into the entire rock theme and we've already discussed before that Lana adored him as a lover but also a musician while he saw just another fangirl in her. there are also many Yayo references in it which make me neglect the fact that you can't find alcohol or drug related lines even though it's a Jimmy song. Like I mentioned many times before I can't get rid off the thought that Lana still loves Jimmy because he reminds her of dead K.

Lana did a beautiful job on Old Money but I prefer the album version   the latter one is full of heavenly emotions, it's like an angels's song but the live version sounds kinda dull...
Cruel World would only be a nice opener if Lana used @@Ultraviolence idea tbh 
 
nevertheless I don't want to complain, at least she finally sang two new UV songs live (even though she skipped MPG and FMWUTTT again  )
 
also here's a relativley good audio quality video of Cruel World (full)

I think UV is definitely about Jimmy ! Call me crazy but here is my Lanalysis:
"deadly nightshade", "loving you is really hard": it wasn't a simple, happy relationship with an ordinary guy. K & Jimmy are the only guys who would've called her like that imo "filled with poison": Lana used to drink a lot of alcohol at this time, so it must be about one of her early realtionships (again K or Jimmy), and we also assumed that they met in rehab "Jim taught me", "your my cult leader" : we've said before that Jimmy inspired her to be a better musician, she used to "stalk" him, so maybe he was like a teacher or idol to her "he hit me and it felt like a kiss", "he hit me but it felt like true love": I don't think this is meant literally, maybe it's more like he wasn't that interested in her in the beginning but she didn't understand his behaviour and was just happy to see him "Jim brought me back", "Jim raised me up": he was her cure in rehab "reminded me when we were kids": the we could be about K & her, we've already figured out that Jimmy probably reminded her of K because both of them had a drug addiction and were "bad boys" "I can hear sirens": again an allusion to K, maybe she left Jimmy because she knew that she couldn't take it to see another boyfriend going to prison as well --> so maybe it was "ultraviolent" for her to leave him ? "I could've died right there": well yes, she had a "bad disease" at that time if you get what I mean "he was right beside me": again rehab ? "we could go back to New York": OMG, they were in rehab together and then they were planning to go back to NY for music perhaps "where they don't know who we are": they are both famous now "I love you forever": she let him come on tour with her   
 

WTF this is so fucking awkward 
 

 
maybe we will get some REAL information about their realtionship/affair (or Lana stalking him) now ???
 
this also could be a hint that he is actually the Radio guy.
Lana once said that she doesn't care WHY people like her, all that matters to her is THAT they do (poor baby  ).
maybe she is still obsessed with him and now that he is interested in her (because of her fame), she lets him perform before her.
Barrie, keep an eye on your girl !

sometimes I wish I had one week to ask Lana everything I want to know... always speculating and realizing you'll never know the truth doesn't satisfied me 

***FLAWLESS & SUPERPOWER
Since I can't find any Lana plagiarism in either of these videos, I'm just gonna go ahead and assume they must be borrowed from the "Dark Paradise" and "Cola" videos that never materialized. @ULTRAVIOLENCE Watch these. One of them may be the closest thing you'll ever get to your precious "Cola" video.
 
@@evilentity you're the best   

@@evilentity seriously you should start a thread about Jennifer Lopez copying Lana as well !

inb4 Lana announces a Salvatore video featuring Adele and the girls from Music to Watch Boys To

Lana should hire Adele if when she releases her new album, cause Adele's already doing more promo for her than she ever has.

Those are my videos 
 
She was exquisite. Only, with everyone screaming at every moment, it was hard to hear her at times. Watching and listening back, its gorgeous. 
She signed things for the front row for about 10 minutes and I wanted to rush up there and ask her to leak "Life is Beautiful," but I got shy.

Lets talk about the performances... My god, she was amazing! 



 
 
 
That ALMOST West Coast Radio Mix version.... 

These two shots made up for the six minutes at the end. 2K12 vibes.

I liked the video a lot lmao until the water girls 

The first five or so minutes were okay, not great but not terrible, while freak was playing. However, that last six minutes of swimming girls set to piano music was straight up bulkshit. I genuinely think she tries to test how far she can go with her fans' patience.

Of course LB was down for something big....
 
 
Anyway, what the fuck were those last five minutes where those girls keep staring at the camera awkwardly and shit.

#LanaInSpace2k17

Ughhhh I want Art Deco also to be a part of the Freak vid cuz the transition between Freak and Art Deco slays me errtime
I need a 10 minute monologue (like Ride) about her cult leader as well!!!

Sometimes I get the feeling that Lana can't say anything without people discussing it.
 
YES, she claimed that she wishes to die some days but I think she didn't say it because she thinks it's glamorous to die young. To me it's more like she had a quite vulnerable moment in that interview. Being emotionally instable plus all the negative headlines could be to much for her. People should fucking stop judging her ! She probably has a mental disorder, an illness and doesn't fantasize about living in heaven with Kurt or Amy...
 
I understand Frances but I'm sure she just got Lana wrong as well. And seriously, before that 16 year old girl starts to post hundreds of tweets about such a personal theme, she should learn to contact Lana privately. Anyways, I lost all my respect for Frances when I heard about her suicidal birthday party 
 
Not sure if Sky actually talked about Lana but Lorde should stop liking everybody who is against Lana. It's getting ridiculous....
 
I'm glad that Lana responded in such a polite way. I hope she won't take this all too personally.

LANA DEL REY INTERVIEWED FOR NYLON ESPAÑOL FALL/WINTER ISSUE 2015
 
Paris, the city of light, the city of fashion; the one who saw the birth of Dumas, Verne, Proust, Piaf and Bardot, and was warm with Buñuel, Wilde, Hemingway and Gertrude Stein, it welcomed us to make one of the biggest and long awaited productions from Nylon Español. 
 
This trip to Paris wasn't a cliché scene from a Hollywood movie, neither a midnight walk a la Woody Allen. We got to Paris on a countdown to make our job, five covers with Lana Del Rey.
 
There's a perspective of Paris for everyone; there's the fashion world, the gastronomy, the culture and literature. But on this occassion we weren't there as tourists; we had nine days to arrange everything. As a reality show, the Nylon Español crew had just a few hours to make what would be the most important number on our editorial schedule. The style team, leaded by Greta Forte, went on a hurry through fashion boutiques, between Champs-Élysées through Le Marais to have the complete outfits for Lana. While Esteban Calderón, photography director, and I, organized everything carefully for the shooting. The Eiffel Tower lights illuminated our hurried steps from Arc de Triomphe to Rue Galilée, where the exorbitant amount of clothing was kept.
 
Back on April, this year, I began the calling process and meetings with the press team of Lana Del Rey; 145 emails later, we had a deal. Her songs are haunting and beautiful, but they go deeper on desire and freedom, they represent femininity and women's sexuality. 
They ninth day was here, the end of arrangements. On midnight we were on the way to Le Bal Studio. We were accompanied by a team of bodyguards taking care of diamonds, just as a team of stylists and a glam team. In the studio, the equipment was put together on set, waiting for Del Rey to arrive. Punctually, Lizzy Grant arrived, the person she is off-stage. With a smile and open arms, she introduced herself to the whole team. 
Her professionalism and humble personality allowed us to talk and laugh with her for more than twelve hours, seven changes and fifteen outfits: a photoshoot without antecedents on her career.
 
Honeymoon is your fourth body of work, how do you define your evolution?
 
When I started my first album, Born To Die, I had already several years of experience on song writing. But when Video Games was finally played on the radio, in that moment, I knew my record was known. Before this one, I had already written two albums, but writing Born To Die was similar to the way I had fun while documenting my life and my fears, as well as my fantasies. After the release of Born To Die, I started working on more material as nine songs that I originally thought they were for a new album, but due to other things, they became part of the deluxe re-packaging of Born To Die, Paradise. It felt like a grounded notion of what I was looking for the feeling and production behind Born To Die. I especially loved the songs Ride and Cola. Then I toured for a while and while I was on the road, I began thinking about the kind of songs I wanted to sing on stage: something a lot more organic and with guitars on it. That's how I wrote songs with more acoustic sounds and a touch of psychodelia, that became later my album Ultraviolence. After I wrote this album, I sent it to Dan Auerbach because I wanted him to help me with the production, then we spent another four months on the mixing. The mixing can be a really exhausting process, so I began writing new songs in my home again between sessions. Finally, I came back to the studio with Rick Nowels. Honeymoon was similar to when I began writing Ultraviolence after Paradise, because I didn't feel any pressure while doing it. It felt very natural but also very emotional, I was writing songs like Terrence Loves You, Honeymoon and God Knows I Tried, but also had fun with songs like Freak and Art Deco. 
 
Tell us more about the process of recording Honeymoon
 
I wrote the biggest part of the record during fall, winter and spring, and it was a beautiful process because I did it with one of my best friends, Rick. My daily activities consisted on swimming on the beach and writing. The album started very easily and fun with songs like Music to Watch Boys To, Honeymoon and Terrence Loves You, and finally, it went through more modern and sexy songs like Freak and Art Deco. But the line that goes through the record has a lot of jazz influence.
 
What personal trait did you add to this recording?
 
I guess that you always realize a lot about where you are in your life while you're writing a record. I realized that I didn't fully understand, but I knew I had a great potential to see life as a more fun and beautiful experience.
 
Tropico is a short film you did with Shaun Ross, written by you. How does it feel to go into the visual representation of your music? Are you doing something similar with Honeymoon? 
 
Yes, I like what I've done with Honeymoon until now. And yes, I have a visual concept that goes through this record, but it's more in terms of cameras I have used and the velocity in which I record certain stuff. Tropico is one of my favorite proyects I've done and was really hard to make considering the lenght of it and the number of settings. With Honeymoon, I think High By The Beach was a fun and beautiful video at the same time. And I think that the  video for Music to Watch Boys To highlights the cool and touching part of the song, things that may have been overlooked. I also love the continuity of some themes that run in and out of the art, starting with the album cover art and the fact that I'm posing on a Starline Tours tourist bus, to the fact that there's presence of telescopes in the High By The Beach video. 
 
Did you add something different to Honeymoon?
 
I guess that records always have a way to surprise you. I always start the process of making a record, knowing where I'm going, but finally, as songs are being conceived, you realize that the concept can be something completely different to what you had originally contemplated. Honeymoon started with a lot if Jazz implementation, but it grew to be something a lot more grounded and minimalistic. 
 
Aside of your artistic evolution, how has been your personal evolution?
 
I feel that it's been the opposite to an evolution, I feel like it has been more of a deconstruction. My personal life has been through different transitions, on this moment, my life is on a stripped place, where I only have basic daily needs, I'm working on myself and where I want to go from here. 
 
Lana Del Rey as an artist has reached many different types of public, regardless of gender and age of these. How do you find the balance between so many publics and what you deliver?
 
I think that if you stay true and honest to your sound, then you'll reach the public you're supposed to reach. I started doing little shows on New York City, and I feel like that the few unusual people I met there, at that informal folk scene, were my public, and I was theirs. While my record got bigger through the years, I ended up performing to a more younger public. But I feel like all types of people come to my shows.
 
Fashion and music: let's talk about your personal style and how this has influenced your music.
 
When I'm home for a long time, I have more time to go shopping and organize everything. I have a very casual life when I'm off-stage. I love vintage leather, pastel blue denim, white blouses and blue cardigans. I've been through different fases in my life in which ones, I've appreciated fashion more than on anothers. For the moment, I'd say I'm very interested. In general, I'd say that my personal style is introspective, I guess it's the reflection of more contemplative and raw songs like the Ultraviolence ones. 
 
How much do you incorporate your own stories to your music?
 
I'd say that except for one or two songs, my personal life is always reflected on my music, it's easier to write about what it's closer to you and what you want, it's also is more gratifying despite the consequences of it.
 
You've done collaborations with other artists, ones that are out of the pop world, are you interested on giving a twist to your music?
 
I see myself working with people I admire, until now, I've had the opportunity to go on tour with Father John Misty, and recently, I made a song with Abel (The Weeknd). There's people I'd like to work with on my next album. In terms of sound, I really think it's gonna have a variety of different sounds. 
 
In terms of women that have achieved challenges on the industry, what are your thoughts on the timing of these achievements?
 
I don't necessarily listen to women who are considered to have broke gender parameters. I listen to Billie Holiday, who is someone really important to me, who achieved a lot of things, just as Joan Baez. 
 
Your fans are very aware of every step you take in your career. The internet allows them to access to information about whatever you're doing, what do you think about this? 
 
I don't know, I think a big part of my career happens through the internet, except from my shows and albums. But with that said, I'm not someone who spends a lot of time online.
 
During the shoot, we were talking about goals and challenges, and the importance to keep fighting, tell us more.
 
Dreaming is just as important as any mantra about fighting for your dreams, there's books I love that talk about dreams as a science, and the fact that it's impossible to close the gap in between where you are and where you want to be without dreaming. My favorite principle when it's about dreaming is "be true to yourself".
 
You have fans outside the US, are you conscious about your iberoamerican and latin public?
 
I have a connection with fans on Latin America and Spain, maybe it is because of the passion and devotion I feel when I'm there, or maybe because of my deep roots with faith. When I'm in Mexico, or even in Barcelona and Madrid, I feel more understood and I feel that my music is appreciated for exactly what it is.
 
How do you feel about your music transcending borders?
 
I'm not sure about how it transcended borders, but I'm sure it has transcended the way in which I thought it would. I think all of this converges in what we were talking about dreaming. The more honest you are to yourself and the harder you dream, the more you'll have the opportunity for your art to travel further away.

Lana & Drake being the only artists charting with 3 albums.
