The live version of this, with the extra 'god damn, god damn' line is so heartbreaking

Ladies and gentlemen,

For the very first time!

 

Iconic but was that part necessary?

 

Still such a fucking bop. Sorry for the unnecessary bump lol

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.

But her voice range in that song tho      

This was extremely tasteless and not at all appropriate for a basic "Unpopular Opinion Thread" delete this bud.
You put my thoughts to words! Every time i see that frumpy gold 'hustler' shirt I just think Lizzy Grant at her utmost prime, it's so tacky and bitchy and trashy and I don't get why people hate the photoshoot like it insulted their lineage

I thought everyone agreed with this

I hate to say it but the chord structure and progression of the song is very similar and miss Rey does have a bad habit of singing over other songs to create her melodies 

If this was a year ago I would have surely said UV. But I've doing some thinking and although every era is precious and near to my heart. Lust For Life is by far the best. I say this for many reasons. Mainly that Lana herself has been so confident and adamant about her work, how she worked with all her favorite fellow artists, how she spoke so eloquently about the issues in the world around her, how she broke out of the box that everyone has put her in as the resident "old-hollywood esque" sad crooner. And how no one would let her be anything more than that. But she is so much more. She has so much to say and she says is so well. And this was the year I feel that Lana has finally broke free. And because of these things and many others, I say that without a doubt Lust For Life is the best era. 

I'm gonna say AKA because I know it's not going to win the poll and I live for the whole aesthetic of that time in Lizzy's life. The platinum hair, the high singing voice, the trailer park vibe.

I hardly ever listen to Lana's albums, 90% of the time I'm listening to the unreleased songs c:

LFL all the way! To be honest, every previous album talked about that lifestyle made of rich guys, expensive cars, drinks, swimming pools... that's wasn't my thing. It was also the reason I loved her, because listening to her was like entering in the different world of a persona who was really different from me, and that helped a lot while I was unhappy and stressed in my real life. However, in this era she talks about empowering women, global warming, climate change... She's so conscious now, and that's the quality I appreciate the most in a person.
 
Anyway AKA, in terms of visuals and sound is my real favorite era, but I didn't, you know, lived it, so LFL wins

I hardly ever listen to Lana's albums, 90% of the time I'm listening to the unreleased songs c:

blue jeans- i like the live versions but i cant stand that stupid ass screaming "blue jeans SHO white shirt SHO"

This seems really unnecessary to me and is why I hate the internet. Partly because I think his name is just coincidence and that if "Ray" refers to any real person and isn't just a name she likes, it's probably Arthur Lynn. Of course, I could be wrong about that. But either way, we're seriously gonna drag some random innocent girl, who's probably perfectly nice and looks perfectly fine, just because she's not as hot as a celebrity her presumed significant other had some tenuous connection with? Also disappointing considering it's coming from someone who has himself suggested he once was less attractive than at present.
 
Man, one of the things I hate most about this fanbase is how Lana's emphasis on style and glamour (especially during the BTD phase of her career) really seems to have attracted a lot fans that focus on superficialities.

I wouldn't be suprised if she was OK with sleeping with him. Seriously. He didn't have to harass her, she might have simply agreed to everything.
All these women might have been feeling abused, but she didn't necessarily have to.
