Lana to be featured on The Weeknd's track "Stargirl"
cashcomesquick replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
Guys, we should appreciate Lana's charity work, teaching other artists how to write songs. God bless her -
Hey, guys! Since some people shared their "reviews" on Tropico, I'd like to share the first part I did on it. Lemme know what y'all think Tropico is Lana Del Rey's attempt at exposing today's society based on the tale of Adam and Eve. It's composed of three songs, each telling a separate story, yet complementing each other. Garden of Eden It debuts in the Garden of Eden, the origin of mankind. In the context of religion, this is mankind's first "Free Will performance", choosing between good and evil, realising having choices, taking responsibility for your own actions. Choose your idols wisely The concept of Eden is applied to society. Lana and Shaun, representing human beings, are shown listening to John Wayne, instructing them on life. He plays God's role in Lana's metaphorical Garden of Eden. During this scene, the emergence of a new era containing a contrary way of thinking is predicted. While Wayne instructs them to focus on aggressively achieving their dreams and goals, Jesus' words ("Forgive us our debts as we forgive those who trespass against us") fade away barely noticed. The effect of this overlap is underlining the aforementioned thesis of a radical change within society. Marilyn's first statement "Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature!" perfectly describes the degradation of women in public. She is the definition of "sex symbol", being reduced to her physical appearance, yet she is idolised by many people which again leads to radical changes within society. Elvis is displayed as the male counterpart to Marilyn. Original sin Tropico's re-enactment provides symbolic allusions to this theme, the lamb representing pure innocence and unconditional obedience based on lack of free will. The unicorn is commonly used to portray purity and grace. The serpent persuades Lana to eat the apple which leads to her fall. A noticeable difference to the actual tale is that Shaun himself decides to eat from the apple in order to follow Lana. This difference highlights the free will, having the option of choosing between good and evil. Additionally, this difference is important regarding the assumption of "a woman being the reason of the original sin". It leads to the conclusion that everyone is responsible for their own actions.

Bernie promoted social justice regarding education, health care, etc. Your statement him being an anarchist is pure disinformation. Various countries established systems and structures he had been promoting. Plus, Bernie actively supports the black community. Also, why does Russia have to be involved in everything? I'm not defending him, but he is definitely not worse than any US Pesident. I really feel sorry for you since you openly present your missing knowledge. Don't know what Trump is, but she is "Killary"

Cute how people think Hillary was leftist
-
Everyone has the right to protest. You can't generalize an entire group based on individual actions. Example: It's a fact that there are racist policemen, but does it lead to the conclusion that policemen are racist?
-
The entire song is beautiful
-
Leak ha!

Bish, you better pardon Snowden and Assange.

Disgusting double standards. No one complains about bombing and invading other countries, but people trying to enter the US has to be stopped immediately. The legal term might be "illegal", but don't forget the foundation of the USA: aggressively stolen land. So, shut the f*ck up with your immigration bullshit! Everyone except native Americans is an immigrant to the US.

"I was so wrong not to tell, Medellín, tangerine dreams" in Salvatore might be a reference to Pablo Escobar and his drug cartel. "Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off forever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep forever, and ever and ever." - Burgess, A Clockwork Orange Considering the name of the album is UV, it might be possible that she chose the title "Cruel World" for the opening song since the novel itself deals with a "cruel world".

Wow! It's ignorance or just lack of knowledge. I'm not here to educate you. America has been at war since 1945. Why don't you at least once admit to what I say about her being corrupt? I don't support Trump, but I do know for sure that she's evil
-
Is this an American thing to become emotional when arguing? Again, I don't have to watch them since I know she's corrupt. As soon as she opens her mouth, you can smell lies.
-
I can't continue discussing when you're not able to refer to my statements. I don't have to watch them since I know she's corrupt. Don't pretend she would have worked on these issues.
-
Isn't that already the case? Police shootings, border control, poverty and more. I don't have anything against America since I have friends over there. Again, you didn't read carefully: My statement refers to how USA has been affecting other countries. People are tired of your wars, and destroying millions of lives. Considering these facts, the world is indeed excited to see if he'll stop wars. Apparently your educational system doesn't teach you how to argue stating facts.
-
It doesn't matter if they wanna be white or whatever. Be careful with your generalisations, and learn reading properly. I'm showing that these numbers are not that small to be ignored.
-
That's the exact reaction people show when they can't disprove facts Omg, Russia is even manipulating forum boards!!!1!
-
Frankly, I don't care. The world is excited to see if he stops the US from invading countries. Maybe it's finally time for you guys to focus on your own issues instead of playing the righteousness-delivery country.
-
That's for sure, but you can't ignore that even minorities voted for him despite being "racist". http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3920042/A-breakdown-Deplorables-33-Latino-men-26-Latino-women-voted-Trump-52-white-women.html?0p19G=c Your investigation arguments prove that you haven't even read what it is actually about.
-
All this drama is nonsense. The constitution protects minorities from being affected by laws since they have to be approved before entering into force.
-
Are you aware of the recent leaks that disprove this accusation? Russia has not been involved in the elections. Wikileaks exposed that her campaign started to connect Russia to these leaks.
-
I respect everyone's political views, but in that case, don't make it about "coz she's a woman". They were under pressure to probe the leaks since people are tired of corruption. Additionally, your media argument is completely wrong. She spent millions in order to be portrayed positively in news etc. She even had celebrity support. Also, Trump was literally destroyed by media. Nevertheless, I couldn't support any of them, but you gotta keep your facts straight.
-
It's barely useful to argue with certain people since they choose to ignore your arguments. So yeah, it makes sense! Exactly. I mean, she could directly state her opinion, but apparently she prefers to stay rather neutral. Plus, that's what I like about her since she leaves room for people to interpret her stuff in their own way.
