I love paradise (song) tbh It's so underrated

This is so hard but god damn it I think my absolute favourite ever, which also happens to be the first song I've ever heard from Lana, is Off To The Races. The way the lyrics are written and the way Lana uses her vocal range is just fucking majestic. The fact that she included references to Lolita, one of my favourite novels and films of all time, is also a big deal to me. To me, it is the epitome of Lana and why I love her.

Can you give $20 to the 1329th post?

CAUGHT

Lana, the xx, and one of my favorite books ever ALL IN ONE. I really can't handle this thank you so much 

aren't you just the funniest 
A+ for effort 

That's what you're writing to Lana? It's a little ambiguous but i think she'll like it. 

When is this due? Maybe she'll remember me as the only guy who asked a valuable question at her Ride premiere

I guess instead of studying for my algebra test I failed tonight I'm writing a letter to Lana on an iPad.

this is so sweet   I remember how emotional she got in that video when she was in austrailia and that guy gave her a collage book and she wouldnt accept it because it was too nice/ didnt seem to think she deserved it because he had put so much effort and time into it <3 
 
anyway, sending mine, who knows when I'll ever meet her (probably wont happen..)

I will send this letter (pic of a letter) first  then i think i will send something else too.
 

I think she will like this from me.

I'm three seconds away from revealing your real name, evil. Don't fuck with Mo.
 

 
(OMG, while googling for a picture to use i just randomly came upon photos of an old co-worker's wedding. WTF is the internet?)

This has been canceled due to me not being able to attend the concert. I can't attend the concert because Lana's management merged the two concerts on 15th and 16th May, into just 16th May in a different arena. I had already booked flights to attend and i'm not able to change them.

We're planning something else, and more details will be announced soon.

Sorry for anyone who spent time writing their letter, if you would like a copy of your letter back, PM me your name and email address and i will look for it.
 

Well, the first time I started to like Lana was when I somehow got Off To The Races, Dark Paradise and Diet Mountain Dew onto my phone and I listened to Off To The Races to see what it was. The first thing I noticed was her voice and how girly or deep it can sound (at the time I actually thought it was two people singing the song :/ ). Then I was bored one day and decided to google what she looked like and damn I was not disappointed Then I saw this before and after special FX vid for The Great Gatsby which had Young and Beautiful playing in the background and I really noticed how beautiful her voice was. It was about here that I started to go crazy over her so I guess I'm still fairly noob
 
Apart from her looks, I'd say I love Lana cus she's interesting and not conceited AFAIK. She's also a sassy bitch so yeh

Okay, come out from behind the screen and let's hear that again
 
 
 
 
Only kidding

I think there were several factors that made me like her as much as I do. First of all, before I found her I had a lot of frustration over music in general because I'd gotten tired of my previous favorites long ago, and hadn't found anything new that I really liked. Life without fantastic music felt very empty, and it had been so long that I had started to give up hope of finding new music that I truly enjoyed. But even that first night when I listened through Born to Die and LDRAKALG for the first time, I knew that the void had been filled in a way that I couldn't have hoped for even in my wildest dreams. That was an incredible feeling, it was like reuniting with an almost forgotten love that suddenly came bursting back into life with more power than ever before. Really cheesy I know, but it's still an accurate description. The shocking manner of that first "meeting" with her definitely played a big role in why I became so hooked.
 
What appeals to me most about her music is the exciting, forbidden and passionate atmosphere that she creates - it's a refreshing antithesis of the often dull and monotonous everyday life. For me, escapism is the main reason why I listen to music, the same goes for reading books and watching films. I like it when the music takes me to a world without rules and responsibilities, an exciting, adventurous and dangerous world where emotions rule rather than common sense. Lana's music was perfect for that. Her beauty and the mysteries obviously strengthens that exciting atmosphere around her and her music.
 
Futhermore, I'm very week for artists that seem genuine, that make it sound like they are writing and singing straight from the heart and about personal experiences. Personally, I've never heard an artist that seems more genuine than Lana. Pawn Shop Blues is probably the best example of the type of lyrics/music I'm referring to here. The fact that she also seems to be much more passionate about the music than the fame  makes me respect her more, or at least relate to her more.
 
Hmm, I think I'll just stop myself here...

she a bad ass bitch that why

Her hair is pretty.

I was first attracted to her image, music, and herself after seeing the Born to Die music video. I'm a film and film score obsessive, and the sound of the orchestra in her songs paired with the unbelievable cinematography in every video killed me. Plus her throwback references to old Americana (another sappy obsession) was enough to make her my absolute favorite artist. She's everything I've loved...visually, sonically...  ...
But then her. As a person. Her vulnerability makes her so human. I mean, if you see an artist like Katy Perry (poor reference, but just go along with me) discuss why she wrote a song (it was so personal yadiyadiya) it just feels honestly contrived. Lana seem so genuine it seems almost odd compared to other artists around her. That's my opinion.  Don't take it out of context, I'm sure everyone has genuine feelings rooted to their lyrics (the lyrics they wrote, anyway  ) but there's something about Lana...

This is what in fact made me her fan :
Her lyrics are awesome, I know it sounds too general but it's just the way it is. They often are so touching.
She has an absolutely stunning voice. Even if the words said by her were complete rubbish, I could listen to her for hours and hours
She has created a fascinating world through her songs, it feels great to be discovering it.

I first liked her music before I ever found her beautiful. But now her beauty is part of why I love her. She looks good all done up in photoshoots and when she's in jeans and a baseball cap flipping off paparazzi.
Also, her music (and this is going to sound cheesy as hell) really speaks to me. Whether I'm relating to a song or sympathizing with her on songs like TVIB&W. She's got so much variety in her music that you almost can't say that you don't like her because of her genre or because of her style of music; everytime a song leaks I'm AMAZED by the originality of each of them. And besides all that, her lyrics are beautiful. I sometimes feel like she's singing poetry (especially in 'Delicious' ).
Another thing is just her. Her personality is just really great and I love watching videos that people put on YouTube of when they met her because she just radiates a genuine niceness towards her fans and even the people that are only there to sell her autographs on ebay. I like her when she's fun (especially her Lizzy days), I like her when she's said (horrible, I know) and I like her when she's just happy. She's like no person I have ever seen ever in my life. She seems so simple and average sometimes, but at the same time she's the most complex person. She has this aura of mystery around her which just sucked me in.
 
So, yeah. I guess that's why I like Lana idk.
