I love you then
Cook&Effy had a proper developpement, they had sex together a whole year basically and, feelings appeared after that. They spent time together and had fun, When everyone turned away from Effy after the Katie incident, he was the only one here for her. While Freddie always judged her and tried to change her into someone she's not; Cook accepted her the way she is. Maybe because they're so alike.
They represented what Skins is about and are both 2 iconic characters. They had so many amazing moments together, the Bonnie&Clyde journey is one of them.
Kaya and Jack had so much chemistry together, they dated IRL and Kaya said that if she wasn't so young at that time she would have married him. The scene under the pouring rain where Cook tells her he'd do everything again must have been so awkward to film.
It breaks my heart tbh to think about CE, I shipped them so hard but the writers screwed up everything.
Freffy, it felt from the very beginning that it was shoved down the throat with their ~love at first sight. S4 made it all worse with Effy's mental illness. When they isolated during Freddie's episode it felt like he was trying to keep her all for himself and they were very toxic together.
Everybody kept repeating how much Cook was bad for Effy, but it was more the opposite.
Lana's songs fit perfectly CE :

Hey guys, this is my first post on here, I've actually done quite a lot of artwork, I'm a design student. Chelsea Hotel No.2 is one of my favorite Lana songs, It came out right after I had my heart broken for the first time. I'd known about the song before, but Lana's cover just made it so much more personal for me. Here's my Chelsea Hotel No.2 artwork, let me know what you guys think.
Here's my unfinished Heavy Hitter Cover
And a real quick attempt at White Pontiac Heaven
I LOVE the song TV in Black & White. It's so melancholy, but at the same time sweet. I felt like I needed to make a cover for it. I used an old Crosley Television Ad and I think the bottom portion is still lacking seriously. I'd love some feedback/advice on it. I'll probably be working on another more complicated cover for this song as well, so stay tuned.
Version without Jail Cell Background:
Live Or Die
Summer Wine:
A friend of mine asked me to make her a cover for her unreleased folder, so I threw this together. It's not real good, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
It's not really a cover, but I colorized this photo that was only released in black and white
Here's three quick covers made for Happiest Girl In The Whole USA and The End Of The World
Here's something I tried with Florida Kilos. I'm gonna play with it a bit more, but I can't figure out what to do with the work Kilos
I'm absolutely obsessed with cars, they're my passion. This thread is to catalogue the cars Lana mentions or uses in songs and videos.
Cars in songs:
Shades Of Cool - "He Lives In California Too, He Drives A Chevy Malibu"
Lana's referring to the bread and butter midsize sedan, the backbone of the Chevy lineup
You Can Be The Boss - "He has a white corvette like I wanted"
My guess is that the car she is referring to is an Olympic White Corvette, probably a C1, C2 or C3
Hundred Dollar Bill - "Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova"
The Blue she is referring to is most likely Danube Blue, or Mist Blue. Probably the 2nd Generation model as it's the most collectible.
National Anthem - "Take me to the Hamptons, Bugatti Veyron"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know she is definitely talking about the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. there have been quite a few different special editions made.
Back To The Basics - "Sit Back In My Pink Cadillac"
I'm assuming the Pink Cadillac would be a reference to Elvis's car which was a 1955 Fleetwood Series 60.
This Is What Makes Us Girls - "Stealin' Police cars with the senior guys"
When Lana was 16 three police interceptors would have been common, the Dodge Intrepid, The Chevrolet Impala, and The Ford Crown Victoria
Golden Grille - "Drivin' in your Escalade"
We all probably know the behemoth Cadillac SUV piloted by rappers, drug dealers and soccer moms everywhere, It's been through 3 generations now. Golden Grille was from 2009 and by then it had entered it's 3rd iteration but as the song is obviously written about an earlier time, and the Escalade in production today was released in 2007, It's very likely a second gen model she's singing about. The first gen was largely playing catch up to the Lincoln Navigator and didn't get to enjoy the sales of it's successors as it was only built for 2 years.
Jump - "Cadillac convertible"
Eldorado? DeVille? Allante? XLR? Series 62? it's anyone's guess. It's very likely that it's a 1959 Series 62.
On Our Way - "Kiss me in your Chevrolet"
Another mystery car, It's clearly a convertible as well. Corvette? Nova? Corvair? Bel Air? Impala? Camaro? Blazer? Caprice? There are quite a few possibilities, I like to think it's a Corvair.
White Pontiac Heaven / Axel Rose Husband - Well, she says it in the title...
Again, this could be pretty much any white Pontiac. She does seem especially fond of the Fiero though.
1949 - "We in the Pontiac from July to July"
Same story as WPH and ARH it really could be any pontiac.
Every Man Gets His Wish- "We in the Chevrolet from July to July"
Just like 1949, WPH, and ARH it really could be any Chevrolet.
Driving In Cars With Boys - "Momma's Mercedes or Billy's Pickup Truck"
Who knows what kind of truck she's referring to. Anyone know if her mother drove a Mercedes?
Heavy Hitter - "Open up that Lamborghini"
Once again, this could be any number of Lambos, the Miura, Gallardo, Espada, Countach, Murcielago etc.
Hit & Run - "Pick me up in your white Lamborghini"
Just like HH there are quite a few possibilities for this one
Playing Dangerous - "Let's get in the back of your cop car officer"
Well she doesn't even give us an era for this one, there's no way of knowing what kind of PPV she's talking about.
Come When You Call Me - "White Lincoln Continental"
The Continental nameplate has been used by Ford for their Lincoln brand for 9 generations before it was cancelled, it could be any of these, but I think it's worth noting that she used a white Mark V Continental in the new music video (see photos below)
Hawaiian Tropic - "A bottle of Jack in the Cadillac" "White Corvette under willow trees"
This is the only time she mentions the Cadillac in this song so we have nothing to go on as far as the exact model. It could really be any Cadillac prior to the 2009 Model Year.
The Corvette she mentions is most likely the same one she refers to in You Can Be The Boss
Heartshaped Chevrolet - "kiss me in your Chevrolet"
As the Chevrolet line is the same as in On Our Way it's pretty obvious that the chevrolet she's referring to is the same Chevy Convertible
Hot Hot Hot - "Black tint glass on your cherry red car"
Who knows? It could really be any red car...
Big Bad Wolf - "Escaping in your cherry red car"
Same as above.
*I have recieved a tip that one of the aforementioned Chevrolets is from the 1967 Model Year*
Cars In Music Videos:
Born To Die - It appears to be a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that the couple crashes.
Summertime Sadness - Lana's own 1981 Mercedes-Benz SL is used.
Ride - A 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is driven by the guy who picks her up.
(The car in the Photo is a Sedan DeVille, Just Imagine it without the rear doors)
National Anthem - A 1956 Ford Thunderbird and a 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible are used, similar to the ones owned by the Kennedy family, as well as a 1950-53 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible.
Blue Jeans (Original) - There is a clip of what appears to be the bonnet of a Jaguar XK 140
Lana Is also shown in a truck in this video. It's a 1955 Chevrolet Apache/Task Force. the grill, bumper and headlight bezels have been painted white. the same truck can be seen in at least one other photo shoot. This particular truck can also be seen on the cover of Born To Die
Burning Desire - Obviously a Jaguar F-Type
Several AKA Era Videos - I have noticed more than one Pontiac Fiero in the original Lizzy Grant clips that have leaked. Clearly Lana has a thing for this car.
Diet Mtn Dew 2 - The Ford Del Rey is used. This is where she got the Del Rey script with the three circles. Don't run to the dealer lots just yet, the Del Rey was only available in South America.
Tropico - Lana is seen in a Spring Green, fender-skirted 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air Rat Rod (Potential clue to the song?). In typical rat rod fashion, the car is missing most of its stainless and chrome trim as well as the actual convertible top and frame. the Chrome grill has been painted and the car features a continental kit. She is also seen with a white Lincoln Mark V.
Shades Of Cool - You'd expect Lana to use a Chevy Malibu, since it's what she ints about in the song, but instead her tattoo artist friend pilots a 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible.
At one point a 2006 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi makes a came appearance over Lana's shoulder. It's given away by the SAAB signature hockey stick shaped C Pillar and the tiered tail lights
Cars Lana Owns:
1981 Mercedes Benz 380SL
As seen in the Summertime Sadness video, Lana has a gold SL class
Jaguar XK
Lana did the whole horse and pony show on the hood of Jaguar's new little roadster, the F-Type, but she actually owns it's big brother the XK. The XK is considerably larger and more powerful than the F-Type, they actually share the same platform though (The F-Type's was shortened). Lana's XK is in Ultimate Black Metallic.
Jaguar XJ
This one is important for those of us who don't like in California because the XJ is Lana's preferred mode of transportation. No doubt she owns her own and is seen driving it frequently (All I could find of her driving it were interior shots), but in other places she is almost always driven in one, so If you're at one of her shows and you see an XJ pull up, chances are it's her. Rob Grant also owns one as well. It's Jaguar's full size flagship. Lana appears to have the SWB model. Here's the best photo I was able to find on short notice of Lana with an XJ. You can identify it by its signature teardrop shaped DLO and the Alutian alloy wheels.
I'm sure I missed some, let me know if you have any more information to add or if you know the ones I missed.
We're still waiting to see what new leaks will bring to the table, I guess only time will tell.
Thank you for your help! Your the one and only ear able to decipher Lana's mumbling. lol
I am waiting for some suggestion for the still-missing parts.
You're right it's not from the BB's Moi Je Joue, I think she wrote these lines in English then translate them in French by herself or via Google translate.
Those lines are very Lana like lyrics, it also has some syntax mistakes "Toi et le soleil, pareil !" it's very simple french, native speaker will say that (unless you're 3 or learning french).
On the other hand BB's lines may seem plain but are actually complex and smart play on words, most people wouldn't even know what it means.
Serge Gainsbourg was a master in song writing.
