I wouldn't romanticize them but then selectively go after the lesser of two evils, either.

People who wilfully ignore their idols fuckery, what with the domestic violence, rape, molestation, etc but then come out guns blazing all over political differences are pandering which is just an indication of autopilot mode and hive mentality. Prioritize one, prioritize all. Otherwise don't bother with the social commentary.

All of those things still happen today, and Lana is at the forefront of romanticizing them and turning a blind eye to them, but the moment someone supports a political party she opposes, she's ready to go to war.

So she uses a most hated and ridiculed song to symbolize heaven? Make your theory make sense. She either doesn't know about Mike Love's Trump support, or she wilfully ignores it like she ignores all her other idols fuckery while focusing her anger on Kanye.

Yeah, Kanye never married a teenager, or beat his wife like John Lennon did, nor did he make fun of the hearing impaired Nico like Lou Reed did. Lana should definitely romanticize those people but go after Kanye for political views, but then namedrop Mike Love's creation in the first verse of The Greatest anyways.

U tried to insinuate Mike Love is irrelevant when she literally mentions a song he crafted without Brian or Dennis (considering Dennis was dead and Brian did not write or sing on it) Don't pretend Lana doesn't selectively romanticize her idols when she absolutely does. Lou Reed, Elvis Presley and John Lennon for starters. Yet Kanye is all bullets.

Brian said she never showed up to record it I think

She mentions Kokomo in the next line which has literally nothing to do with Brian Wilson

Lmao it was edited by staff member PARADIXO, not me. Two other members quoted my original post before a staff member edited it to red text. Funny how @ evilentity can point out the Mike Love/Kanye hypocrisy but I can't.

The only clowning is that lyric contradicting the opening verse

Joni Mitchell usually uses blue creatively, rather than "paint me blue, blue, blue, blue, blue blue...blueee.........blue" The day Lana writes anything like Roses Blue using blue is the day u can quote me with that comparison

No "grab my waist, don't waste" lines No overuse of blue No overuse of party dress, fucking mess

It’s not wrong though, check out Mark Ronsons This DJ documentary. U tried, again

In interviews she’s wanting to be less Lana Del Rey but in some lyrics on NFR she’s as cliche Lana Del Rey as it gets.

Mark was only good because Amy was his director. He wanted a harp section on Love Is A Losing Game and she told him to fuck off because it sounded like a Mariah Carey song to her.

Yeah I know the lyric, it’s shit How am I making it look better when both are total shit The point was that no one should be dragging one when the other is just as trash. Cute attempt at telling people to ignore me but then quoting me anyways

There is nothing clever about either of them, go home

I better not see anyone drag stranger than a stranger again after loving “grab my waist, don’t waste” & tired party dress/fucking mess lines just cause it’s new

It’s an autopilot filler like White Mustang “Grab my waist, don’t waste” & reusing party dress and fucking mess lyrics Definitely not mature

HM & UV are lightyears ahead of BTD, but BTD is far more interesting than Norman’s Demos. Cinnamon Girl is a BTD reject much like Cherry was & the serial killer throwback in HIAB is just embarrassing lmaooo. All the dance and party lines on Norman’s Demos damn ma she was more lyrically creative when she was 25-26

Coachella exists on your favorite record. No lies only facts

Born To Die has the title track, Video Games and Off To The Races so it prevails over Demos by default

Imagine having nothing to use to defend your stance so you use a bonus track which has the same formula as most songs on Norman’s Demos...lmao

Boring choruses that go nowhere for the most part, mostly uninspired songs due to lack of musical & vocal variety and lack of bridges, Lana sounding dead throughout most of the record ... sounds like it.
