Here's some words for you Jim Morrison: Fuck you. Speaking of words, Michael Keaton would also like one with you.

HONEYMOON - NICOLE NODLAND INSPIRED COVER


 

Hey Guys!
So, I've decided to upload all of my fan art creations to here, instead of opening tons of new forums all the time
Since I replaced 2 laptops, (one was mine for 3 years but it got internet problem, then used my brother's and I got a new one less then a week ago) I don't have all of my creations right now, so I will upload here everything I got!
 
Lust For Life (Edit):

 
 
Born To Die (Unreleased), (front+back), LQ:

 

Lana Del Rey (AKA)(with+without title):

 
 

 
Paradise (The Unreleased Edition):

 
 
 
Paradise:
 

A premonition. A look. A concept. Yo soy la princessa. 
ETA: I have a photographic memory but I can't remember how I discovered Lana's music. One day it just suddenly appeared. I knew vaguely of Lana del Rey but I started listening and it was all familiar like a dream even though I'd never heard it before.

Steven:
Hours fly like railroad ties when I'm with you
In an ocean deep and wide when I'm with you
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little warmer
When I'm with you
 
Lana:
Hours fly like railroad ties when I'm with you
Mmm.. I'm with you
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little warmer
When I'm with you
 
Steven & Lana:
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little brighter
Everything's a little brighter
 

Another delicious topic. Praise be.
 
She looks terrific in 6, 7 and 9. I settled on 7 for a little bit more thought, and the great angle. Simplicity, familiarity and great hair.
 
So many hilarious bad ones due to lighting etc. I think I have to go with 5 and 8 being the worst. 8 is the winner from those tragic pink nails and very unflattering pose. She looks lost and barely holding it together too.

I'd love her to work on an entire album with Paul Epworth. We all love Black Beauty which was produced by him. Paul has also produced Florence and the Machine, London Grammar, and Adele, and has the proficiency to add extreme power and drama to work. I think we're not going to get to that height again as Lana mellows out as she goes into later life, but it might have been more suitable earlier in her work.
 

Thank you for assuming the role of the unofficial spokesperson of the website admin

Calm down. To change the background requires one url being copied and pasted. It's hardly unreasonable to chase up something that has been promised for months.

are y'all updating it

Discuss!
 

I will admit, I would like to be in a fandom where an artist wins for once. However, I don't live my life liking things based on what awards they get, so I'm not too fussed! It would have been a deserving win, but on reflection here are some factors I think of why NFR didn't:
Little to no campaigning from Lana to actually win the award. No interviews, long stretches on social media with no content related to the album, no TV performances or high profile talk shows to build and maintain hype. Is this her management or her? I'm inclined to think her. Shambolic roll-out of the album, including confusion over the singles. Venice Bitch and MAC weren't even confirmed inclusions until the track list came out, and at the time were called something dumb like 'fan singles'? The slow roll out of some of her strongest and well-received pieces (Venice Bitch, MAC and even Hope) meant they almost entirely dropped out of public view, and lead to an ineligibility of those tracks leads to none of them being able to nominated for Song of the Year. Norman Fucking Rockwell simply didn't have the same appeal. Also releasing the  Norman Fucking Rockwell was never, ever, EVER going to win song of the year. It didn't even have a film clip until very late last year. It wasn't sent to radio stations, and wasn't radio friendly.  She never sung her singles at her concerts. She balks at performing new material, and has fucked up with shaky performances live more than once. She didn't even perform at the awards. This is basically cementing the perception that she is still living in 'Born to Die' territory. Again, this is self-sabotage.  The title of the album, and the singles ('Venice Bitch', 'Norman FUCKING!! Rockwell', 'Fuck It I Love You') put prudes off, affected YouTube algorithms and search results on Google, and would have diluted aggregated results for the album due to the different titles (Norman Fucking Rockwell OR NFR! or Norman F**king Rockwell OR Norman Rockwell OR whatever else). The album didn't have the same appeal as things that regularly popped up like Bad Guy. The sacrifice of this title didn't really resonate with a lot of people and an artistic choice that probably put people off. The awards are rigged (discussed as recently as this week from the President of the Grammys), and most likely a committee was wanting to pick something popular to stay 'in touch' with current trends. It's still not 'cool' to like Lana del Rey.  Obviously she would be proud of the music, but apparently she can't even produce nice artwork for her singles, or format the titles of her tracks correctly. That really projects a feeling like she couldn't care less. If she doesn't care, why bother giving it to her?  Maybe controversially, it's simply not as good as her previous albums (?) and didn't have as many hits. While I wish she'd won, I think if she DID win, it would undeservingly absolve a lot of these issues that we were unhappy with during the roll-out of the album. If she is truly driven, and keen on winning the Grammy, then for the next album hopefully she will trust her managers a touch more, and we will see a refreshed approach, with a more considered approach to promotion and sensible choices. But maybe she actually doesn't care! (we know she does but eh). 

In 2017, I went to the Adelaide Fringe Festival and when I turned around at a bar I literally fell in love with the boy next to me.
 
The situation was too complicated and about six months later he decided to get back together with his ex. I have never cried so much in my life since it was the first time I had ever cared for someone so completely and wholely. He was so carelessly mean in the end, but that's what being young is all about, leaning and growing. I grew a lot as a person and appreciate that time of my life since I'd never known true love and it was so amazing to know it was real, and I could feel it. And everything is better now - I appreciate music more, I can empathise better, I have just grown as a person. )))
 
 
When did you last go to the movies? What did you see, and did you like it?
 
ETA: whoops @@prettywhenicry beat me to it! Uhh probably Sunday morning? If I get too tired I kinda forget to look after myself lel

Ooo. Fab topic. I'm going to not think this through too much, and just go with what my pHEnOmENoLoGicAL response of what evoked the feel for me.
 
Born to Die
"Think I'll miss you forever,
like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky.
Later's better than never,
even if you're gone, I'm gonna drive"
 
Paradise
"I am fucking crazy 
but I am free"
 
(or, if we're sticking to song lyrics)

"I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy. 
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes"
 
Ultraviolence
"Heaven is on earth,
I would do anything for you and me.
Blessed is this union,
crying tears of gold like lemonade."
 
Honeymoon
"I lost myself when I lost you . . .
And I still get trashed, baby,
when I hear your tunes"
 
Lust for Life
"I hope that I come back one day
To tell you that I really changed"
 
Norman Fucking Rockwell!
"Why wait for the best,
when I can have you? YOOOOUUUUUUU!!!??!?!"
