the lyrics in this aren't her best work but I really love all the throwbacks to previous songs, some show how much she's grown and others show how consistent she is:
 
Hawaiian Tropic: "Baby you can't come back from being that bad"
HBTB: "Everyone can start again, not through love but through revenge"
 
PMIAM: "Lights camera accion, you know I can't make it on my own"
HBTB: "Lights camera accion, I'll do it on my own"
 
Ultraviolence: "We could go back to New York, loving you is really hard"
HBTB: "Loving you is hard, being here is harder"
 
Hit and Run: "Watching me, watching you"
HBTB: "Looking at you looking at me"
 
Pawn Shop Blues: "I can do this once more"
HBTB: "I don't wanna do this anymore"
 
Break My Fall: "Do you really think I'll buy your bullshit, boy?"
HBTB: "The truth is I never bought into your bullshit"
 
Daddy Issues: "I need your kiss to survive"
HBTB: "I can't survive"

Am i the only one that thinks the production on the song is perfect? I love the instrumental, and the mastering. 

Take a breath doll x

also i just realised how much she references her past works + all three albums in the track and it's honestly so amazing. 
 
Loving you is hard, being here is harder - Florida Kilos [ultraviolence]
All I wanna do is get high by the beach - pretty much all her songs LOL but particularly Born to Die [born to Die]
Get high baby baby, bye bye - West Coast [ultraviolence]
The truth is/I never bought into your bullshit - Break My Fall [unreleased]
Lights, camera, accion/I can do it on my own - (one of the song's best lines) Put Me In A Movie [Lana Del Ray]
 
it's just such a clever song and i love it.

just listened, it's a hot track. different to what she's done before but still recognizably her - a mix of West Coast, Florida Kilos and a touch of some BtD demos; a gorgeous middle ground between Born to Die and Ultraviolence that's clearly also very 2015. the ending is fabulous with the spoken outro.
 
i love it and I'm glad to hear her lyrics are kinda moving away now from her stereotypical phrases (except the chorus). still, it's catchy af and I can imagine it doing rather well in the radio. 1000x better than the stale mess of Honeymoon.

i get why some people think the production comes off as somewhat amateurish, but i actually view it is a step towards a more commercial sound. not that that's a bad thing by any means, this single just seems so much more primed to be a single than any other single in recent memory.

Gurl put that music thesaurus down x

Was so not prepared for this... omfg. So impressed. Love the lyrics, they're so snarky Lana which is what I live for. Always nice to hear her standing up for herself in songs. I was NOT expecting a full on electronic song which is throwing me in such a loop on how HM will sound as an album. This songs almost sounds experimental in ways. And the AKA lyrical reference! When Lana reminds me why she's my top fave, she hits hard. 

I really rarely want instrumentals but I want one rn

A demo???.....lol some of you need to take a seat.

I can't stop playing it I just     

THE NEXT SMOKING ANTHEM. FUCK YES AT LANA FOR BEING DIFFERENT. NEVER DISSAPOINTS. EVER. Fuck I'm ready baby! Bring that video. Bring that era !!

what's not clear about my point?
i'm just saying the song was probably produced by kieron instead of mark ronson because for one the song doesn't even sound like mark's production and lana specifically stated that kieron was doing beats for the album

I posted this the other day as a joke but now it TOTALLY suits the song LMAOOO

"High by the Beach" is trending no. 2 world wide on twitter 
 
LANA'S IMPACT

We can safely conclude that this isn't MTWBT now right?

I wish I hadn't listened to the leak but I'm also glad I did

The best thing I think about this song is that it feels like it goes by so fast...especially compared to that mammoth-sloth-glacial marathon pace Honeymoon lumbers about on

Loving this concept

Pop Lana is back, shitting on all haters who said that she was one trick pony.

Im getting so many AKA teas. first the "Lights, camera, AXION" and the sound in the intro is the same as the one in Queen of the Gas Station

THE NEXT SMOKING ANTHEM. FUCK YES AT LANA FOR BEING DIFFERENT. NEVER DISSAPOINTS. EVER. Fuck I'm ready baby! Bring that video. Bring that era !!

Word! This is so exciting HBTB is amazing! Completely different than Honeymoon. Beat is epic, she sounds so saucy! I love it. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

HOW IS THIS ON THE SAME ALBUM AS HONEYMOON?????? AND PEOPLE SAY ALL LANA'S SONGS SOUND THE EXACT SAME??? UMMMMM BYE

LIGHTS CAMERA AXIOM
