    love this interview! i'm so happy she spoke about kintsugi, the song is probably my favourite from ocean blvd
     
    with her making music a bit simpler and maybe less personal, i would like to see her get creative and find inspiration from different places to create stories or write something that is not necessarily about her life. ofc it would probably have parallels and could link to her experiences, but i think lana could create some amazing songs which are more from different perspectives, or about something she is passionate about, or specific moments in time/feelings, or even something completely fictional

    i remember watching music channels on tv before school when i was 15 and discovering video games and born to die and i fell in love, i was obsessed. i listened to pure pop - whatever was popular on the charts - but when i heard her she changed my world. it got to a point where i only listened to her and nothing else lol
     
    the album was the first cd i bought i think, i just couldn't stop listening to it. i loved every single song, cried many many times, but the one most special to me is radio
     
    i was at college, i was struggling with my sexuality, pretty much had no friends, i was so lonely, but radio sparked so much hope in me. just hearing her say her life was better, and boasting "how do you like me now?" saying that she'd made it provoked so many hopes and dreams in myself- i started to truly believe that one day i'll be happy and have achieved something (im on my way, will get there some day) plus the song is a fucking banger. its my fave from born to die and maybe even all of her songs
     
    i dont think ive actually listened to the album as a whole for at least like 5 years, which is insane. but im listening now and my eyes have been welling up with each song until i finally broke listening to radio. the first in a line of incredible albums. her discography is a marvel
     
    love u lana

    also, btw, i often see people say that this album is aging badly or that it's immature... however, i think it's the opposite  this album has such a unique & innovative sound, it's a mix between so many different sounds, styles, & genres from different periods of time & artistic movements, so, on it's own, you really can't pinpoint it's sound to a specific period of time, it sounds nothing like anything which was released in 2011/2012, i think it just gets better with age... i also don't feel like it's immature, at least, in my opinion, i discovered lana when i was a young teenager & as i've gotten older i feel like the music & the messages of the music & how it can be interpreted has become so much more in-depth & relatable, even if i don't really relate to the exact experience she may be talking about, she writes her lyrics in a way where many people can relate to it, & find solace in it, i think it's silly to think this album won't stand the test of time, people will still enjoy it just as much in the 2060's

    My most treasured possession is my Born to Die CD that Lana signed for me. It’s the one thing I would save if I was ever in a house fire or something.
    The CD was given to me by my best friend, who actually at the time I wasn’t even on good terms with. Some friends and I were planning a holiday party with a Secret Santa gift exchange, and she drew my name. By the time the party came, we were in this huge fight over nothing so she didn’t even attend, but still made the effort to buy me the Target edition of Born to Die and hand it off to another friend to bring to me.
    Then, 3 and a half years later when I saw Lana in London, she came down straight to me after finishing her final song, had a chat & gave me a hug, and then I asked her if she would sign the booklet for me. She had a pink sharpie and asked, “is it okay if I sign in pink?” I told her pink was my favourite and it would be an honour! So, she signed it addressed to me, and it was the most special moment ever. Right afterwards, I snapped a photo of it and sent it to my best friend (whom I had made up with a few months after the holiday party years back) and told her the good news! We still talk about it to this day, and how it was probably destiny that she gifted me the CD, albeit begrudgingly at the time, only for it be signed by Lana herself a couple years later. Funny how some things just work out xx
     

    (A screencap of a video the girl standing next to me took while Lana was signing my booklet! During this clip she was telling me, "I'm so happy you are here, you're so cute!" I died.)

    Oh girl… 10 years… I was so desperately alone and this fucking album came… I can’t believe I’m still alive, what a 🎢, what a piece of art. Swimming pools and Pabst blue ribbon in the summertime hit different now that Lana exist.
