silver starlet

I haven't been on here in forever but I thought I would share this~

so i was reading Tristessa by Jack Kerouac the other day and, being an LDR fan, one particular passage jumped out at me...

 

"All of us trembling in our mortality boots, born to die, BORN TO DIE I could write it on the wall and on Walls all over America" ... "I become depressed and I gotta go home. Everyone of us, born to die"

 

so i know born to die is a common phrase, but we know how lana loves the beat generation and we know how she loves her literary allusions , so I feel like this book might have inspired BTD (song and/or album, or just the title). just cause of the way that one phrase was emphasized in that chapter. idk 

i mostly just listen in my car whenever im driving anywhere (in order cause its on a cd) and just other random times, sometimes on shuffle sometimes not. hopefully i can get the vinyl soon so i can listen that way too..

so where are her tour dates im really excited to see my city not listed

Omfg ok the new song is so different.... I love it but she's really going in a different direction this time.

also, new album next year   (but also   because i thought it was coming this fall)

first of all can we all not try to "diagnose" her based on a few words she's said in an interview

it's clear that she's lived a very eventful life and I think the fame is still very surreal for her. just a few years ago she was singing in bars and making music on her laptop, suddenly she's living in a mansion in LA. I don't think she sees herself as a celebrity, she sees herself as an ordinary person and when you see yourself like that , criticism can be very hard to take.

What she said about death was pretty alarming but I'm not worried about anything drastic happening. in my opinion she didn't mean it in a "I wanna kms" way, she meant it as more like "I wish I didn't live this type of life, I'd rather be dead". she idolizes people who took their life early and she seems to like the idea of dying young, but when it comes down to it, death is not beautiful, it's serious and tragic and I don't think she would do that. the worst I can see happening is that she stops making music for the public

the verses of Money Power Glory remind me of You're Gonna Love Me am i alone on this

after 1 listen my faves are

black beauty

sad girl

money power glory

fmwuttp

and all the singles

(so basically most of the album lol)

and my least faves are

guns and roses 

the other woman

IS THERE ACTUALLY A NEW VERSION OF AFFA ACTER FLORIDA KILOS AND HOW

Guys, I made an album with this song, I called it ''Sheezus: B-Sides'' and I have a download link for it, you want?

is this all the demos that she released? i'd love it if you DMed them to me

-kanye (i dont like him but him and lana would be   )

-xxyyxx (like how she did it)

-angel haze

bonus: paris hilton

it honestly sounds like it is lorde but then again I doubt lana would write a diss track about a 17 year old, I feel like lordes criticism just flew over Lana's head. but I can't think of any other successful artist that's like Lana

I'm hoping it's about cher

This is one of the misconceptions of feminism... IT IS NOT ABOUT FUCKING EMPOWERED WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED MEN. IT IS ABOUT WOMEN MAKING CHOICES FOR THEMSELVES AND HAVING THE POSSIBILITY TO DO SO. In this matter it is as okay for lana to depend on men (as long as it's her will) as it is on any other woman to decide to be independent or I mean you get the point. It's not wrong to dress up for a man as long as its your choice. I'ts not wrong to never dress up or put on make up.(not mentioning how feminism affects men here cause that's not what we're talkting about)  it's not that fucking hard, google is your friend, essays are cool and slam poetry can be ur friend. 

no i agree with you, women can depend on men, please men, etc and still be feminist but a lot of other feminists don't think that and that's why they attack lana's lyrics,  thats why i gave those examples. in my opinion lana is both dependent and independent in different ways

people are setting their own standards for an ideal feminist and it's getting ridiculous. I saw a post that was like "whys everyone shocked that lana isnt a femnist, she idolizes lolita and sings about getting hit" like    x10000000

idc how "uneducated" about it she may seem, i think lanas definition of a feminist summed it up, a woman who feels free to do what she wants. If it's ironic to agree with lana on her definition of feminism so be it

ok while we're on the topic of feminism, everybody (outside the fanbase) has been saying that her lyrics are always antifeminist and the themes are always about her depending on men etc BUT i think it's pretty apparent in some other lyrics that she does believe in female empowerment. most obvious example would be the bridge of the TIWMUG demo ("this is what makes us girls now baby its why we rule the world now baby") other examples would be in driving in cars with boys, kinda outta luck, she's not me... that's just my opinion she's not anti feminist by any means

Can we talk about the fact that she said: " I’ll tell you later when more people know." in regards to the Love of her life, the record exec?

 

WTF does that MEAN LANA?! LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA

she'll probably sing about it ?? hopefully 

tbh We should stop talking about the feminism comment & talk about the fact that Lana has an unknown illness that she has been battling with over the last couple years, and that critics have driven her to have suicidal thoughts. That seems more important to me at least. I always knew that Lana just didn't like a lot of the stuff with fame, but now I think that she may have some sort of mental illness associated with it all.

yeah that part surprised me because like she said in other interviews, she keeps her personal life private and now all the sudden she's talking about some kind of chronic illness?? i hope she doesnt have some kind of britney spears type breakdown   

maybe reporters should just stop asking her about feminism?? oh wait, they want controversy so their articles get more views or whatever. i don't think it's a big deal that she's not interested in feminism. that doesn't mean she doesn't believe women deserve equal rights. it means she's more interested in other things, just like she said, and I don't see a problem with that. jfc

WC=UV>SOC 

i really can't choose between WC and UV but im leaning towards UV

I think it's my favorite from UV but i like the live version better... it conveys so much emotion that the studio version just doesn't have. the spoken bridge in the live version is so powerful and it always gives me chills. but then again i love the production on it and when she says "Jim told me that" the first time the harmonies are just   same with the backing vocals during the bridge

i think it might be "comprende these white lies"

i was so excited to see this video but then all these TFIOS clips came up and that ruined it lmao

Is anyone else surprised that she's performing on tv? I thought she wouldn't after the fiasco 2 years ago even tho she's improved immensely. oh well she's gonna do so well I'm excited I hope she performs Ultraviolence

she takes gifts from fans, if she tries signing it or something just be like "no thats for you" and maybe write your twitter name on the back of the drawing?she wont remember/ hear you if you actually say it and also get there a lot earlier i have a feeling LA fans are hardcore

can someone send me this too where are you finding these? i need to get on here more im missing SO MUCH 

she sung this live last night, it hasn't been leaked or released yet

i doubt this is about jimmy gnecco

Its already my favorite song from UV

i think the word blue just sounds better than other one syllable colors like green and red

but idk it could have a deeper meaning
