CONGRATULATIONS

I used to listen to OOW a lot when I was in a very dark period of my life   so I refuse to listen to it anymore because I'm afraid it will bring back the memories/thoughts I had back then.

i think, visually, it's beautiful (excluding a lot of the gods and monsters part, some of that was a little too much for me). most of it is undeniably very pretty. how great the rest of it is is arguable. i can see how a lot of people wouldn't enjoy it. tropico does not fit everyone's taste -- then again, neither does lana's music. i liked the poetry she recited, although i didn't know the authors and stuff while watching it but i just looked up the poems and i plan on watching tropico again later now that i have more insight. i think it was a beautiful and meaningful film although there are some things i would have done differently, such as some of the g&m scenes and i wish there had been more dialogue. but overall i definitely think lana achieved her goal.

i was thinking that maybe we could pool all of her songs together into some randomized generator like this once a week, and then discuss that song in depth; i.e what it means to you, what you think it means to lana, what you like about it, what you loathe about it, how it makes you feel, maybe play it for some friends / family and see how they react to it, etc basically anything centered around that one song for that week 
 
i always thought that the lyric forum would be a good place to discuss song meanings, etc but there are so many separate threads its kind of overwhelming to devote all of the potential ideas / analyses / discussion topics to the 839843098 different songs. and tbh there are a lot of songs that i don't really listen to that much or think about that much but if we're kind focus our attention on it collectively, we might come to hear it / understand it in different ways. and some of her songs are so different, in terms of production / lyrical content / etc so i guess maybe different songs could bring forth different types of topics etc 
 
good idea? flop idea? i can just copy and paste the song list into the generator if it sounds ok 
 

I bet you made this whole thread just to say this.

Play house, put my favorite record on.
Sit down, put Atomic Kitten on.

Yes it's her middle name 
Her mom's maiden name is Hill, before she was married. Now her name is Pat Grant.

Her real name is Elizabeth May Woolridge, she was forced to live with Robert Grant after her real daddy, K (Kenneth Woolridge) was sent to jail for his incestious relationship with Elizabeth. Robert was always referred by her family as her 'uncle' but there is no blood relationship. He was infact Kenneth's first in command in their sex slave chain. Kenneth entrusted Robert to keep his daughters safe and out of the business. Robert didn't want her to linger over her love of her daddy anymore, her wanted Elizabeth as his own, so he and Patricia decided to tell her that Kenneth was a murderous drug dealer & was sent to death row. Robert, who is a polygamist, wanted Elizabeth and Caroline to be apart of his family and invited them to marry him and his wife Patricia, which they did. Of course, their marriage is not illegal, but to symbolize their commitment to the marriage, they changed their last names to Grant.

One final comment. might as well go out with a bang. I wanted to be polite but why tho 
 
 
Mess @ya'll thinking I've never heard that interview!!  
 

 
 
 
@@parkin EDUCATE YOURSELF and stop spreading fallacies and lies, Blogs pick up negative things about Lana and spread FALSE rumors because of "FANS" like YOU.
 
Even if Lana released Y&B on paradise, the song would still be F*CKING eligible.
 
 
This eligibility thing is fu*cking stupid as f*ck and should not even be in discussion.
 
I'm shocked, of all places that a god damn LANA fan forum would question the eligibility of the song where other forums ( with LDR fans who knew full well the history of the song) I've been to never questioned it.
 
@@Foolish mentioning the lyrics when it fits so well with the spirit of Daisy. I would have agreed with u if you had mentioned the demo but....
 

 
 
And this right here is golden, ladies and gentlemen:
 

 
You have no FU*cking clue what you're talking about. Lana has more chances of getting an Oscar nom than a f*cking globe.
 
The Hollywood Foreign Press care more about stars and the image they gave the award show.  They nominated "the tourist" because of that reason (Jonny Deep, Angie)
 
Lana and her crap SNL performance destroyed, and demolished ha rep.
 
Have you looked at the nominees for best original songs at the Globes, all of them are pretty big stars (MAINSTREAM AS FUCK)
 
It's also the reason Criptdonna won the golden globe for "Masterpiece"
 
 
 
I'm fairly sure that there are only TWO SONGs in history that won a golden globe and an OSCAR (one of them was Skyfall)
 

 
 
I'm waiting for that day where fans like you guys claiming bull shit when Lana releases "Time of Season" and spread false rumors again.
 
@ THANK YOU and GOD BLESS. There's still a sane person in this thread.
 
 
Bye ya'll.
 
 
 
 

you guys are literally insane believing any decent looking thirsty gay online
 
i emailed UMG and they responded this morning saying they don't have that edward guy in their system 

i'm gonna start telling everyone i wrote black beauty since y'all believe anything 

I made a video with subtitles for the spoken parts only (not the songs themselves, of course) - when I first watched Tropico, admittedly I only listen to some lines here and there - I was too distracted by everything else. But going along with what she's saying and how the images of the video tie in with it, it made the whole watching experience infinitely better. And I got to really understand what it was about and what she was going for.

As much as I'd like all of them to be crystal clear recordings without any screaming or cheering, a lot of these have screaming especially Princess Die and Living On The Radio, as those were fan recordings. The rest of the tracks are pretty decent quality.

TROPICO IS SUCH AN OVERWHELMING EXPERIENCE. these are my notes after sitting down and watching it alone for the first time, so i was actually able to think clearly. i'll try and expand on it all later but i wanted to contribute my bare boned analysis for now. i need to watch it a few more times to formulate a solid opinion. although i do feel as if i like it a bit better each time

Thread collecting my Lana-related edits and artwork.

cue anxiety from posting my work 

Maybe stop trying to tell us what the album is going to sound like based on a fucking title, guys. Thanks! 
 
Either way, this is exciting, and Tropico was very cool. 

This is downright offensive and quite frankly incorrect. How is it lazy? What % of people who like Lana Del Rey have heard all these leaked songs? Probably 5-10 at most. Only the die-hards actively seek out every little leak and song she's gotten her hands on. Why should she be expected to NOT put out songs she loves just because YOU'VE heard it before? It's so selfish on your part to think otherwise. 

yes bae 
 

 
i'm gonna go get fried chicken and waffles at roscoes before i try and grab another ticket lmao 

I dont think you needed to bore me with the entire paragraph on touring.
A simple summary would have done it just as well. 
  jesus christ. 

now KISS 

It bothers me that people act like they were always fans but they only know like one or two songs of him

loving the diq outline 

can you just post photos normally? redirecting them to your site then from your site i have to pick which photo to view is so tiring 

loving the diq outline 

loving the diq outline 

There is no difference in the leaked Passenger and the album one are you retarded
Oh I just read your reviews for the other songs and yes it looks like you are
 

 
Also @ CIK are you DEAF this album isn't robotic slut mess her voice is only robotic in 1 song what the fuck. Just because there are club beats doesn't dilute her voice or lyrics oh my god
