I wanted "Don't trust anyone" on the side of my arm but then I realized I probably will get rid of my (nonexistant, tbh) trust issues soon so I was like, meh, no. I think getting her paradise/trust no one tattoos aren't sad bad as the whole fucking Ride monologue on your back. Jesus christ. Why.

Not sure if this should be in entertainment or conversation, but I wanted to make a thread so we all can share music that is sentimental to us, whether you just want to express your love for the melody or the lyrics or if the song has a personal meaning to you. It can be a song from your childhood or a song that you associate with an event or anything like that. I just really enjoy reading about people's psychological and personal association with music. *Prays that no one made this thread already*I 
 
I think one day, maybe thirty or forty years from now, we'll be singing Lana songs to our kids. *Hums Ride as I cry myself to sleep*
 
I'll start.

When I was really young my mom would sing both of these songs to me when I couldn't sleep and it's just one of the most beautiful yet haunting songs I've ever heard, and I really really love it. I listen to "500 Miles" once in a while when I miss my family because I'm like 8000 miles away from home. I don't really get homesick, but this song just puts me into a sleepy and sentimental mood. Donna Donna is some sort of Jewish theatre song apparently, and my mom would get the lyrics wrong because she learned it when she was young and sort of just hummed through it and everything. So yeah, these are my two sentimental songs from my childhood. I've got a few more but I don't want to write about all of them in one post.

I like the scary bloody tear/eyes one!

Why do some people consider Ultraviolence a flop? It didn't do bad at all.

The fact that this turned into a Gaga bashing thread just shows how some Lana fans are just acting the exact same ways those "annoying little monsters" are acting. A little hypocritical, no?

Thank god for the troll faces at the end, I swear I was going to write a really long post...

Most of the time they re-edit and re-design fonts and edit them so they don't have to pay to use the real ones they base it on, so I guess that's why they made Rainbow.

I wonder what inspired Lana to write this song... it sounds so dark and mysterious, almost fairytale like. It feels as if she's singing about a man she's met in her dreams, maybe it is about her love for Elvis, or maybe K is just a fictional character she created because she dreamt of a man named K. I think she wrote this for Elvis, someone who she could never meet, so he'll always be in her dreams.
 
Beautiful song, really. It fits with Black Beauty and AFFA, especially with the Ah ah ah's. It's almost as if this song was written in the late 1950's, the lyrics are so from that time. She was truly born in the wrong generation. What a great vocalist and songwriter. I wonder if Angelina Jolie heard other songs from Ultraviolence and I wonder why she picked this song!
 
Stunning. I love when you can tell a song is purely written by Lana just by the lyrics.

This album was everything I expected it to be and not to be in the best way possible. I listened to the album without skipping any tracks, and it felt weird knowing four of the songs in a row after Cruel World, so that was a little weird. I'm not sure if I'm the biggest fan of Cruel World, and I'm not exactly feeling the narco-swing in Cruel World but more in other songs, I think it's because I expected the "let the light in..." part at the end of the track, but I guess not. Brooklyn Baby and West Coast are amazing but we already knew that-- the production of Sad Girl was amazing but the lyrics and the chorus felt a little lazy for me, but I still really like it.
 
My favorite tracks were definitely Old Money, Money Power Glory and Black Beauty. Holy shit I knew I was going to love Old Money and damn, did I fall in love with it againa after listening to the snippets. It's so simple and beautiful and it reminds me so much of The Great Gatsby and a part of me wonders if this was the song she wrote for the film alongside Young and Beautiful.
 
Money Power Glory is awesome, the chorus is absolutely everything. I felt kind of iffy about Fucked My Way To The Top when we first heard the snippet, but the song is really good towards the second half of it.
 
Black Beauty-- I heard the snippet and was let down since the verse sounded a lot like the demo we had, but what I got as soon as I got to the chorus... I can't explain it. I teared up and my jaws literally dropped, like @@SitarHero 's reaction, but a little more sane. That new production is so amazing I really wanted to cry. I fist pumped slowly to it and it was amazing.
 
Also Florida Kilos, I didn't expect a song like this to be in the album but it really worked as a bonus track-- it's just so Lizzy/Lana Del Ray.

God, her cover of this will sound so damn good.

The tracklist looks great, I'm very intrigued by the song titles, "Fucked My Way" sounds like it's going to be Ultraviolence's Cola. Really excited for the songs, I'm glad we got the lengths of the tracks, too-- some of them are quite long, and Cruel World sounds like it's going to be a long epic introduction to Ultraviolence. Someone should update the first post with the song lengths:
 
Cruel World (6:38)
Ultraviolence (4:09)
Shades of Cool (5:40)
Brooklyn Baby (5:49)
West Coast (4:15)
Sad Girl (5:17)
Pretty When You Cry (3:52)
Money Power Glory (4:28)
Fucked My Way Up To The Top (3:30)
Old Money (4:29)
The Other Woman (2:58)
-
Black Beauty (5:13)
Guns and Roses (4:29)
Florida Kilos (4:14)
 
Some of the songs are surprisingly long, like Cruel World, Shades of Cool and Brooklyn Baby while we have a song just under 3 minutes. I'm glad she put Black Beauty on the album, and I won't even be mad if it sounds the same as the demo we have. It's still such a beautiful and stunning song, I'm a little sad Angels Forever didn't make the cut, but I understand why she didn't put it in. What if Guns and Roses was actually Roses? and Florida Kilos actually Kill Kill like someone said earlier?
 
Anyway, I'm excited we finally have something to talk about! Also who confirmed the June 13th release date? It's Friday the 13th, how -almost- tacky, it's cute.

This song is so good though???? I usually hate all drag queen music (ok but I Adore U by Adore is the only good one)

BORING is such a good song.
 
Their new single Kings came out a few days ago and it's GREAT. That music video though :/
 

That "Indian gods smoking pot because urban outfitters has that hindu symbol on every tapestry but also like sexualized" look has to go

I did a quick search and can't seem to find a thread for her so I apologize if there already is one but...
 
I CBA to make a whole introduction post so I'll just say that she was recognized for her stunning cover of Arcade Fire's The Suburbs
 

 
And her debut album Pocketknife was just released, you can stream it here.
