I don't buy for a single second that American is about Barrie. It just doesn't make any sense to me.
Dude's white af, his skin certainly isn't 'golden brown'. He also doesn't seem like the type of guy who'd listen to Crystal Method or drives fast around LA flirting with random girls, he actually seems like the exact opposite of that. 
 
 
And am I the only one who thinks Bel Air is simply about / inspired by Axl Rose? It's full of GnR references (run to heavens gates, sweet child of mine, idol of roses iconic soul) & this line - You've got a flair for the violentest kind of love anywhere out there - also fits. Besides, well, it wouldn't be the first time she wrote about him, would it?

Cover of the new single.

Marry me?!

the whole album tbh.
 
I have some trouble picking a Lana song because it's not something I'd really consider for my own funeral lmao. But for the sake of the game~~
probably AKA Yayo (inb4 this is the most popular choice )
 
 

Being a feminst to me is believing women should have the freedom to do/say what they want, equal opportunities, etc without being bound to judgement or expectation because of their sex..
 
Like does anyone pick up on the lyrics male musicians sing about? Most of the time they are a lot more superficial than Lana. Lana sings about feelings and relationships and a lot of people relate to her...idek.
 
 

Blue Jeans.
 
I just love everything about it. The cinematography is gorgeous imo, and both Lana & that one dude who talks way too much look very, very sexy in it.
 
Honourable mention for National Anthem though, which is my close 2nd; I like the concept, it's beautifully shot + it features A$AP Rocky.

Nah, we'd be all like
 

 
Y'all know it's true. :hairflip2:

@ Great catch!! Re: the impact on the lyrics - do you think it could be just the '50s song' she talks about in the lyrics (even if it's actually a 60s song...), or do you think it could go any deeper than that? Pretty cute song btw.

I agree with a big part of what you said, but I don't think she was trying to be controversial tbh. If anything, she was trying to be politically correct by saying something *a lot * of people strongly believe in these days. I think it's kinda sad that a portion (because not all of it is like this, not by any means) of the feminist movement is less about true empowerment & telling women it's ok to make their own choices, and more about dictating how a feminist & empowered woman should behave and be like, and trying to impose those views on all other women regardless of how they actually feel about them.
 
This pretty much sums up my opinion on what I just said:
 

 
It sure as hell wasn't right when men did it, and it's still not right when women do it either.
 
 
About what Lorde said: imo (and like I said before in that status) that's an invalid criticism when it comes to music or any other type of art. I don't think artists should 'moderate' themselves or 'rethink' what they want to sing or write about because of a potential copy-cat effect on their audience. She didn't lie though, the drug-loving, adulterous & men-dependent lifestyle Lana sings about & seems to be fascinated with isn't exactly the healthiest in the world; however, and even though she eventually became a role model (even if she never wanted it, she didn't have a choice), Lana is first and foremost a musician & imo her primary concern while writing music can't be 'oh dear, how negatively will this influence my fans?'.

@@lola @ ok, I'm totally sold.
 
the sampling in Exmilitary is fucking genius & dem aggressive beats~~
 
fave track right now is 'i want it i need it (death heated)' :bodyisready:

Nah, we'd be all like

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd. I've been brought up on Pink Floyd, there's videos of me as a baby with this song playing in the background. The guitar solo in the song is my favourite ever guitar solo. 
 
My Lana song would be Bel Air. 

YES and it's a good look for her. Also - and please don't think I'm crazy lol - I kinda see Keira Knightley in that pic, somehow?!

She's looking very Shane from "The L Word"
