Eighties electronica edition (white lights, white heat, cocaine nights, throbbing beat - lyrics mine , as well as covers):
 

Does not suit Bel Air song in my opinion (because it is not daytime, Lana is lighthaired and it is more "Without You", BTD or even AKA vibe; and, better version is on the first page), but there was a sign on a motel, so I used it.

You guys are sweet af.
I did the watercolor thing! I completely fucked up the original drawing. Not sure what I did, but it wasn't anything good, so I recreated the base drawing with a lightbox and started over.



Thinking about trying to add some kind of background, but I'm not entirely sold on the idea. it just feels a little unfinished.
 
EDIT: I tried to post this in a comment on a status, but it fucked up the whole status thing. I'm gonna post it here instead, I guess. I made a tiny 30 second HBTB music box cover.

Hi babiessss, I'm working on a new one!!! 

I actually kind of wrecked this already-- I tried to do some watercolor, and it was an actual disaster. 
Still gonna try to salvage it, tho!! I also wanna finish the inking, cos it's mostly still pencil rn.

Thanks again for being so nice, everyone!! I'm planning on doing some watercolor Lana stuff soon, which should be interesting if nothing else.
 
I found an older drawing to throw in here while I work on new stuff!! There are things about it that I'm not super happy with, but it was super fun to make. Colored pencils are the best.
 
 
 
The eyes turned out a lil wild looking, oooops. Haha. 
Also here's a lil ballpoint pen doodle from a few months ago:
 
 

this is lame but I made it anyway
 

Wow. I'm completely blown away by this track. This is by far my favourite out of the batch of new leaks, and I see everyone else obsessing over it as well. It's this perfect bake of Bentley mixed together with Wait For Life topped with a bit of Kill Kill and just a dash of something à la The Man I Love. It has me completely hooked. Of course, it's already jumped heaps and bounds in my favourites list and I am so thankful to hear this track I didn't even know existed until a few hours ago. I've said it one too many times and I don't mind saying it again - I LOVE JAZZY LANA. This track really amplifies that, especially in the verses. The whole sound this song embodies is so obviously Lizzy with her "Hawaiian Surf Noir." As I've seen someone else comment, if this track was cleaned up a bit, it could most definitely fit in perfectly in Lana Del Ray AKA Lizzy Grant. Without a doubt. I don't have enough great things to say about this track. With it's Hawaiian-Jazz flare, it's painfully addictive. And I'm loving every second of it.

Also, a bit of an imaginative reach - perhaps Lana Del Ray came from whoever "Ray" is. Maybe she handpicked Lana first and then chose Del Ray later, with this person in mind. It hasn't been the first we've heard of a "Ray." I say this because someone very dear to me by the name of Hannah gave me a necklace with her name on it, and after she was no longer in my life after a drastic event, I would wear the necklace and when people asked if my name was Hannah, I would reply with a simple yes. I would also introduce myself as such. I did that for a little while until I realized how the time was passing and how I needed to detach myself and move on lol. Maybe this person is someone Lana just can't move on from.. "Even though you're not here, won't move on..."
Or perhaps "Lana & Ray" is referring to just herself, becoming Lana Del Ray in the name's early stage. Or maybe it started out as just Lana Ray, which was also mention in Trash Magic.. "Lana Ray, will you serve me lemonade?"
Or perhaps I'm just overthinking this whole thing and whoever Ray is had nothing to do with her name and I should stop letting my mind come up with crazy ideas.

Anyways.

One last addition before I stop rambling about this track, I can't quite decipher what comes after the "we were living on côtes de l'île" bit, but after what sounds to be "low cal" she makes a sound similar to the last two syllables in Chevrolet (chev/vrolet). So maybe she's saying "low-cal" and then whatever a "vrolet" is. Perhaps some sort of French food (??) or maybe the whole bit is French since she seems to be sprinkling it in here and there in this track. Also, perhaps the "low-cal" could be "local" and then whatever that last bit is supposed to be.
Or maybe Lana just made it up. You know how she can be.

Rob pretty much confirmed the meaning of the song with his recent post on Instagram. It's the shot Chuck took of Lana holding the gun captioned "Paparazzi beware.."

Sad Girl actually has a really nice groove and I love her vocals and the instrumentation on it.
 
And the HBTB video is kinda w/e. It ain't bad, but I'm still not feeling the song and usually if she released a song I wasn't feeling, the video would help.

Lana looking up to Britney and her relationship towards paparazzi
Her destroying the helicopter somewhat makes me think that she wishes to make disappear all the private details about her life and her unleaked songs out of the internet. Her statement in an interview recently was that she wants to find a way to unleaked songs disappear.
This is mainly a video about her trying to regain control of her life.
Maybe the gun is here to make her become a "video game" sex symbol/icon that her boyfriends fantasized about.
The guitar case transforming into a gun maybe is here to show us that her weapon is her music?
The letter on the rock disappearing is probably about one of her relationship, he maybe wrote her one or she did.

Isn't this her house? Maybe this video is made to tell everyone to stop following/stalking her lol..

To me, it seems like that was to show she doesn't think that the media focuses on her music or writing, but rather the drama that surrounds her. (Her pre-fame past, "I wish I was dead already", SNL, etc.)

Well, the video makes the song make more sense.
Rather than a song about a lover, it's definitely about paparazzi/media/stalkers.
Especially with this video being shot at her house and the helicopter being there while she's running around trying to avoid it and then shooting it down is basically a message of her saying stop following me, leave me alone.
I think the following lyrics show that same message:
"Boy, look at you, looking at me
I know you know how I feel
 
I don't wanna do this anymore
It's so surreal, I can't survive
If this is all that's real
 
All I wanna do is get by by the beach
 
The truth is I never
Bought into your bullshit
When you would pay tribute to me
 
Boy look at you, looking at me
I know you don't understand
 
Don't need your money, money
To get me what I want
Lights camera action
 
Everyone can start again"
 
It's such a beautiful video though, she looks lovely.

The video made the song even better for me tbh

My little brother pointed out that the gun is a painted Nerf gun

Francesco: Lana come over
 
Lana:

Francesco: I brought the Italian sausage
