The melody is great but the production is GARBAGE garbage.
 
Same with Sylvia (Hope...). The melody and lyrics were good. Production was shit.

Hmmm, this one sounds pretty intimate, that piano has a really sad melody, her voice cracks a little here and there, it's like on PWYC, like she's about to cry while singing which is haunting and beautiful. The lyrics are ok, they're not bad but they're definetly not some of her best. Overall, I really like this snippet, looks like it's gonna be one of the saddest songs on the album, I think up there with Hope. 
Also, this one definetly has fucking strings guys!!!! In the beginning of the snippet you can hear some strings that fade away, It's almost like that's either an intro, or the strings that end a chorus and then it goes back to a verse with only piano.
 
However, even though I like it and it sounds nice, I still want her to stop it with the piano ballads. HIAB, Hope, HTD...They're all nice but I get bored by them pretty quickly. Give me some moody rock-ish sounds Lana please!!!!

idk.. she sounds so hurt... and i love it

damn do yall want the album or not want the album like 
 
so much COMPLAINING like if I were her I'd hold out too ffs

Can you not... Some of us actually have a fascination with lyricism and aren't 14 year old tumblr pages who wanna be edgy. These lyrics ain't shit. They're cute but they ain't shit. Periodt

i'm with you. these people just have poor taste.

oh my god i literally just CANT understand why y'all hate on her lyrics this era so fucking much?!?!?!?!
 
it's literally the most beautiful it's ever been... i wish i could always write like that

That second verse is..... well the lyrics aren't that great but I am excited nonetheless!

this will be my fav album lyrically

I'm so glad the music's still good even when everything else sucks

I think it sounds like in your car

it sounds so good her vocals are heart wrenching fuck, the piano ballads really coming through 

(One, two)

You don't ever have to
Be stronger than you really are
When you're lying in my arms
Baby
You don’t ever have to
Go faster than your fastest pace
Or faster than my fastest cars

I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing
I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing
(Two, three, four)

Oh
I'll pick you up
If you come back to America
Just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love
I’ll catch you on the flipside
If you come back to California
You should just hit me up
We'll do whatever you want
Travel wherever, how far
We'll hit up all the old places
We'll have a party
We'll dance 'til dawn
I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favourite liquor off the top-shelf
I'll throw a party
All night long

You don't ever have to 
Be stronger than you really are
When you're lying in my arms
& honey
You don't ever have to
Act cooler than you think you should
You're brighter than the brightest stars

You're scared to win
Scared to lose
I've heard the war was over if you really choose
The one in and around you
You hate the heat
You got the blues
You're changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you
The Santa Ana moves you
(two, three, four)

Oh
I'll pick you up
If you come back to America
Just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love
I’ll catch you on the flipside
If you come back to California
You should just hit me up
We'll do whatever you want
Travel wherever, how far
We'll hit up all the old places
We'll have a party
We'll dance 'til dawn
I'll pick up all of your Vogues and all of your Rolling Stones
Your favourite liquor off the top-shelf
I'll throw a party
All night long

Oh
I'll pick you up
If you come back to America
Just hit me up
'Cause this is crazy love
I’ll catch you on the flipside
If you come back to California
You should just hit me up

waiting for ACTUAL album news so i can survive peacefully...

I swear it's like some of you aren't even fans. Like you literally stan LANA DEL REY. Who's mostly known for making sad, slow, quiet music. She has released  piano driven music in the past that ya'll have approved of (Fine China for example). And not to big ourselves up but, we're obviously all quite tolerent to being patient with music that's hard for others to listen to, i mean we're all interested in art and abstract music so why are we suddenly acting like total locals and thinking just because our girl is releasing poetry and piano ballads it means it's crap?? Im sorry but come onnnnn
 
the music is gonna be great, like always

I love how we’re like “I can sense that this song will evolve and have a drop!!” for every small snippet we get lol.

I still have faith that this will be a perfect album

nope she said Jack had some chords for her and she was like wow they're too good for me, are you sure you want me to use them? and he said yes. so she did use them.

i doubt that they're demos, since the album is done.

This don't sound like Red Hot Chili Peppers, surf or Seargent Peppers I want my money back

not sure what she said word for word but in her VB interview it was around the lines of "he had something cooked up, i didnt think i was good enough for it" i just listened to that interview the other day again and it gave me hope
 
i mean cmon yall... this is jack antonoff we are talking about... there has to be beats somewhere

honestly i hope what we've been hearing so far is demos and not the actual songs

I thought about it but like is she that smart 

The snippet isn't that interesting but neither was the Venice Bitch snippet or the first Cinnamon snippet imo, maybe she teases the most boring part on purpose 

I thought Jack is a master producer - where's the lit production w synths and mellotrons and cool strings and sound effects and ambience and maybeee beats?
