EMILE HAYNIE FOR LDR9 LET'S GOOOOO

let's not forget the filter for "love" the classic snapchat filters... that takes me back

i think it's amazing how we all have stories of how connected we are to lana's music <3

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

west coast (radio mix) vs. fuck it i love you

we stan a supportive dad

her hair is so long!

am i the only one who didn't think of qftc?

it's intriguing that both poems seem to talk about embracing uncomfortable feelings & uncertainty, as they could be guiding you towards something better for you, it makes you wonder what is happening in her life that could've inspired her to share these two poems with similar meanings

WE'RE FAMOUS

i'm making this post a day early... happy 10th birthday, amazing, evocative, & world-changing BORN TO DIE! this is the album which brought lana del rey into stardom, notoriety, & catapulted her into the legend status she has worked hard to achieve over the years with other incredible albums such as "ultraviolence" & "honeymoon", this album contains some of her most polarizing & fascinating work, every song is it's own mystery, & every guitar pluck, vibrant lyric, & crooning of lana's sweet & distinct voice is a little hint of what it all means, this album is a deliciously dark mix of 40s/50s opulence & sordid stories of troubled love, despair, & hope, it's a true work of art & it is one of a kind, & i'd say it's aging like the finest wine, mixing together so many sounds & genres from different periods of time, i could easily say that it's timeless, however, many people didn't understand lana when she first arrived into the mainstream, she was faced with so much criticism because people couldn't understand her, they said she was a fake, she couldn't sing, she was weird, people thought she wasn't a good influence, however, i strongly disagree, her music is geniune & real, millions of people can relate to her music, she writes her songs in a way where they can beautifully fit any situation, feeling, or experience, in a way where you can see things in a new way, maybe with a new sense of beauty, even in things that may not appear beautiful at first glance, this album will stand the test of time & will continue to inspire & comfort, this is, the fantastic, notorious, polarizing, show-stopping BORN TO DIE! HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY!

yeah, i don't think we're ever going to find out who "k" really is, & that's fine because of lana's privacy, but i think the speculation surrounding him being referenced in her music & what songs/lyrics could be about him is quite interesting!

which lyric from watercolor eyes made you think she could be referencing "k"? is it the "young love don't always last forever" lyric (it probably is that, lol ) i find it fascinating to think that after all of this time she still could be thinking about "k" & writing about him, it makes you wonder who he really was, because if she's still writing about him to this day, obviously the relationship they had must've been very, very significant to her, definitely one of her most intriguing mysteries

@lizzyology made a cameo

did she just post some?

whoops still, that's a lot of streams for that particular song, in my opinion

young & beautiful is kinda close to a billion streams... also i find it a bit surprising happiness is a butterfly has 200,000,000!

same energy as don't call me angel becoming one of her top songs on spotify

some of ya'll need to watch how you phrase things before you end up on a list

THESE ARE FUCKING GENIUSSSS i added them to my "about me" section of my profile page!

i haven't either & i don't ever plan to

i was actually listening to elvis earlier & it's definitely one of her most "country" songs she's made, honestly if lana & nikki record their own version of it i wouldn't be mad because this song deserves a final version (maybe there's a david kahne version sitting right by lemonade motorcycle heaven & reflec, who knows )

i've always thought "my momma" had a slight twang to it... wildflower wildfire 2.0 is coming
