StealingTheMoonlight

This was a better music video for West Coast than the actual video for West Coast.

To me, Ultraviolence was on a pretty wild ride from the beginning. It was completely reworked about 2 months before it was released, and had demos leak a year in advance and 6 months before an announcement, and there were the debacles of West Coast with the multiple versions (Rob Orton mix, Dan Auerbach mix etc.) AND the music video with the wrong version being posted to Vevo. After all of this, I would be fed up with this project too. Lana was so excited for this album, and I don't doubt that for one minute, but this did have a lot of mistakes in the beginning, whether it be the label's fault or not, and that would make an album quite frustrating. Also, the timing of the album release was quite awkward too. It was released while she was still touring Paradise so she hasn't had a UV tour yet, and I honestly don't see one until next summer. If she does do a tour next summer, then I don't want a new album because then she's continuing this weird schedule of releasing an album while touring for her last album. If she does do a tour next summer, then in a perfect world we would get something like Paradise where it's the same album, but added onto.

what if a mum wants to know if ldr is appropriate for their tween so they google "lana del rey profanity" boom

Sounds like it would've been more in the vain of Paradise. If so, then I'm glad she met Auerbach because now we have a different sound from Lana that she *seems* happy with.

I'm seeing people saying that it's not too early to call Lana iconic, but I think they're entirely wrong. To be an icon, you have to represent something and longevity is apart of that. Of course Lana represents the "indie" or "hipster" scene now, but if in 5 years and you say Lana Del Rey and nobody knows what you're talking about, then she's not iconic. It doesn't matter how many albums you put out, because someone mentioned an artist putting out only one album, because if you make a statement with that one album and represent a generation or a part of a generation, then you're an icon. Because that's what an icon is, representing something, and the kind of icon that we're discussing is a pop culture icon so you have to define a generation, like Madonna, Micheal Jackson, Britney Spears. So, yes, it is too early to say whether or not Lana is an icon, because we don't know how she has impacted today's culture in the grand scheme of things. 

I do think that Lana has influenced pop culture greatly, but I also think it's a bit early to be calling her iconic.

To me, Without You is a very personal song and if there's a "perfect storm" I will cry while I listen/sing along to it. If she tears up when she sings it, then it's obviously very personal and something she holds very dear to her. I mean, "I can be your china doll, if you want to see me fall," and "I'm nothing Without You," are some pretty heavy stuff if you're thinking about how relationships really go. She's willing to give everything to this person, but they aren't together or he doesn't want to fully commit. 
Sorry I got so into it, but I just love this song so much.

She looks so hot in the comic. I really do wish she would've stayed with her red hair, it was so pretty.

Thank you! ^^

This is so cool! At first, I didn't really understand what it was, but then I watched the video.. Anyways, awesome job!

Its her going to the jungle, obviously looking for oranges, then she foes to church and ask for forgiveness cause she actually stole them

Right? I can't imagine this including anything but upbeat DICWB type stuff. Maybe she's setting out to make a happy record after the Guardian controversy...

she managed to get yayo in some form onto every album so far lmaooooo
