Summersault

God is real Also she seems to really be enjoying single life, good for her. I wonder what type of songs she's writing at the moment-

Can't wait to hear the full live version, but this was gorgeous too. And good to see her being so comfortable on stage these days. To those who laughed when her voice broke: The devil has your soul and you're going to hell. Edit: Did she just change the lyrics to "those Jersey nights were long ago"? The Methamphetamine throwback!

Get it girl

Is This Happiness definitely. The piano sounds a little like a clichéed love ballad, but her vocal delivery is so perfect and fragile and the distorted strings in the chorus give it a retro vibe. The lyrics are some of her best, cause I like the visuals but also the quiet despair. The bridge is so haunting. I really deserves a spot on the record, at least as an official bonus track. Flipside is a good track but it doesn't really make me feel much compared to ITH.

Never forget

He's not credited in the liner notes of the CD booklet, however another man is. Of course Barrie could still be doing some of the additional vocals uncredited.

Just heard it for the first time and these lyrics are so impressive or real af as some would say. Especially the line "One gun on the table Headshot if you're able" I'm really curious as what period of her life she's describing in them. I get a recent vibe but who knows.

Except that those "unneeded" fans helped her sell millions of records, making it possible for her to keep making music. If they don't like UV it's their loss, but that hipster attitude is not helping Lana or anyone else.

This is interesting. At first I was just glad she was defending herself, cause it really did sound like the interviewer had screwed her over according to what she told "Dagbladet" in Norway. But if it's some kind of backpedalling because she realized her words had consequences then Probably some kind of misunderstanding though.

I'm definitely hearing "the bird flew over"

I noticed that Barry isn't credited for vocals on Brooklyn Baby, but a guy named Seth Kaufman is credited for background vocals.

Instant wow: West Coast Brooklyn Baby Sad Girl Shades of Cool Old Money Florida Kilos Money, Power, Glory (love the anthemic chorus) Songs that are growing on me with every listen: Ultraviolence (the bridge>>>) Pretty When You Cry Black Beauty (I really really loved the demo, so I have to get used to this new arrangement) The Other Woman Songs that I'm still lukewarm about: Guns & Roses (love the verse and the harmonies but it's repetetive) F***** My Way Up To The Top Cruel World (love the line "got you bible and your gun" though) I have yet to listen to Flipside and Is This Happiness?. If there's a kind soul who would send them to me in 320 I would be grateful:)

Anybody else watching season 2 right now? Poussey might just be my new favourite character!

It's so heavenly, I can't ~fucking explaaain it~ Also the lyrics were much better than I expected.

The male vocals! Barrie??

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Why not just pull a Kate Bush and make amazing albums and no touring? It would suck for the fans, but I would rather have studio music only, than having her burn out and quit the business all together.

I have a feeling that this is gonna be yet another whiny interview. The picures look spectacular though!

Thank you for translating! Really good interview and some new information.

Jhene Aiko Really cool r'n'b sound she got going and her voice is angelic.

I think Lana, like most singers, have a range of stock melisms or melody fragments that she just belts out when improvising. I don't know about the writing process of all her songs, but judging from what she said about Video Games she comes up with a lot of the melodies on the spot, so every now and then those stock melodies find their way in to several songs. I.e. a little phrase that comes up in both Ride and Black Beauty: At 1:19 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvb8wdBglpw At 2:42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqjWFFrHMBQ I think she also has an affinity for certain chord progressions, like the one in Blues Jeans and the chorus of Cola. I hear a little bit of that in Ultraviolence as well.

Brooklyn Baby's lyrics might not be stellar, but the overall feel of the song is amazing judging from this clip. I like how she has moved on to a new source of imagery from 60's hipster environment with beat poetry and jazz and Lou Reed and leather jacket coolness But I also hope she doesn't rely too much on it as a way of "maturing" in her lyrics. You can use all the cool references you want, but if you use in "simple" love songs, it's only gonna come off as pretentious. Unlike the whole American kitsch universe she build AKA around.

My Best Days and I Don't Wanna Go. I still feel like those songs belong on the best EP never made

Sounds very plausible.

I already adore this song, from the wah wah guitars to her melisms in the chorus! Have we discussed the [Pseudo Video] descripton on the the vevo page? What's that suppose to mean?
