i was really excited to hear that emile produced a new song with lana but when it was officially released and i listened to it on my computer with my headphones on i couldn't help but feel underwhelmed by it however the moment i blasted it in my car it definitely grew on me and the next thing i knew it i couldn't stop listening to it which is something that doesn't happen with uv for me and just reaffirms my love for lana's and emile's work together although for this song i was anticipating the climaxing beat or bass to kick in during the chorus but there is none i miss gangsta nancy sinatra lol

My parents always used to play Music To Watch Girls By by Andy Williams. I'm SO here for this.
 
Total lizzy grant surf revival this is what Summer Wine was leading up to. And include that cover of Where The Boys Are!!! This is so exciting honestly

Yes, it's her!
Here is the studio version and here is the live version performed at The National Underground show in 2009.

My favorite part of the song is near the ending when Barrie starts singing along his voice really compliments the song and I really wish he actually got to sing a verse or two like a duet its very Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood

i'd love if she did a covers record someday
 
also maybe she can work more covers into her repertoire touring, and not only do hsb/kohd 

Oh my god, Barrie's voice at the end of the song....that was completely amazing. Lana you really are the coolest.
I love it so much

Really beautiful, I love the summery feel, and I can't wait to walk around Brooklyn listening to this song feeling super great and awesome and smile like a mad man, it's going to be great.
 
I really love the lyrics too, they're spontaneous but not pretentious or too cinematic, it feels really autobiographical and personal which is super great, compared to the slight disconnect (not a bad thing) in Ultraviolence, where it sounds like she's telling a story, compared to actually feeling like you're in the song with her and how she's singing it. Would love to figure out the rest of the lyrics (I did a really rough version in the lyrics section.)
 
The production is amazing too, the drums are great and fuck, the Dan Auerbach guitars are so god damn sexy, just like him. 
 
Also, Barrie at the end. So great and unexpected and it works so damn well.

Born To Die. Ugh I won't forget the first time I heard those strings. Made me think of a spaghetti western, and then after the strings the submarine radar sounding samples .

My boyfriend's in the band
He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed
I've got feathers in my hair
I get down to Beat poetry
 
I'm a Brooklyn baby
I'm a Brooklyn baby
 
These are the lyrics that I found from BB. What is wrong with them? If you don't like her themes jump of the Lana train because it can happen that she will never change those themes: desperate love, abusive relationships, death, doomed fate, love for the beat poets etc. I think that these are great themes to sing about, i would rather cringe at some wannabe "social thinkers" in pop/rock music. I don't see Paradise as a lyrical regress from BTD and certainly UV is more of a sonic departure from her previous work than a lyrical one. That said I enjoy the "sonic monster" that UV is gradually revealing and certainly the lyrics helps in creating a mood  and a visual context for the music. If you wanna read some deep shit lyrically you have to do better than pop or rock music. I cringe at people who expect Shakespearean lyrics from a pop act. A Wagner libretto shits on Pink Floyd entire lyrical content, get real, this is pop music and Lana is the ”queen of sadcore”, this is her genre and there are some limitations sonically and lyrically. (btw The Beatles were quite repetitive at the beginning of their career and that didn't stop them to be considered the greatest band in history). Maybe she'll change her perspective for the next albums but UV wasn't the right time for that. The music and the lyrics are just great together (UV will take some shit for the lyrics but I like the mood of the song, it's great live)

Wait, Brooklyn Baby is 5:51

I can't wait to hear this live! I'm sure it will create such a great atmosphere!
Great song! Really lovely vocals!

Incredible production. Sounds very 70s...love it so much.
 
I also love that she is using her higher vocals a lot.

Shades Of Cool starts off with lonely sounding guitars that builds up an eerie and intense atmosphere. Lana’s voice breaks through the mist with a fragile “My baby lives in… shades of blue.”
 
The song is written with a 6/8 time signature so just like Million Dollar Man there’s jazz/waltz influences, however much slower and stripped back with only guitars and her one layer of vocals during the verses.
 
The song slowly builds up during the pre-chorus. The guitar picking is then replaced with slow shimmering chords as Lana sings “he lives for love, he loves his drugs.” The pre-chorus flows slowly until she ends the section with “his strange weather….” and then a moment of silence.
 
The song breaks into a beautiful flowery 70s-inspired indie rock merry-go-round-esque chorus. The drums come in and the iconic Born To Die strings make a triumphant return. It’s hard not to imagine Lana spinning Stevie Nicks-style in a flower garden or on the beach when listening to this chorus. Piano notes twinkle in the background layers as Lana sings over the live instruments: “but you are invincible. I can’t break through your world.”
 
The music carries on into the second verse and pre-chorus. The electric guitars are even more present in the second chorus. The old school ‘wub wub wub’ of the guitar strings embellish the already beautiful vintage sounding chorus.
 
The song intensifies even further during the bridge. The song turns into a thunderous mass of electric guitar and loud drums. The chaotic bridge is wild enough to transport anyone back to the live rock concerts of the 70s. The fantastic guitar solo is sexy enough to have Lana grinding during her performance.
 
The music dies down at the end as Lana songs ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ as it fades into silence, presumably the solemn conclusion to the calm, wild, calm narrative of the song. This song is a great choice as a promotional single and is arguably many times better than West Coast.

This is not sitting very well with me because I cannot stand Kanye and Kim.

@@Zenol THANK YOU

I was still hoping for a track called 'She was Indigo', I know, I'm delusional but I like that title tbh
 
Anyway, I so glad we got the tracklist! Hope it's real...

In my opinion, West Coast isn't as strong, lyrically, as Born To Die and Ride. I find that BTD and Ride are the two most relatable songs from Lana which is why I love them so much. Also, the instrumentation from both songs are just incredible to me because they're very cinematic and that's what I personally like.

I like it, it didn't wow me like Born to Die or Ride did though. Maybe if the whole song would've been in the same style as the chorus...

Didn't like it on first listen, but now that I'm listening to it with earphones, it sounds better. It'll probably take a few listens to get used to. I mostly hate the effects on her vocals. The 's' sound is way too prominent, the verses sound... altered, and the chorus vocals sound too far back. I do like the "mood" of it. Lana plx release single soon
 
(omg riff from "And I Love Her" at the beginning of the chorus. Get that Beatles reference Lana)
