He fed me and it felt like a kiss

tfw your girlfriend writes an entire album about how depressed you are then breaks up with you 

Honeymoon is actually a Christmas album, the lyrics to honeymoon are just to fuck with everyone it's actually "hee hee ahhh ah ha, Santa and I going on our honeymoon, I'm in my little red party dress in his sleigh tonight, dancing through the stars in the pale moonlight, feeling fucking crazy on Christmas night, I know if I go, I'll die merry tonight"
 
It's actually pretty good despite being a Christmas album she's gonna do a massive tour worldwide "Endless Christmas Tour" in poorly fitting retro Santa style outfits and replace daddy with Santa in all her songs. Truly magical

During the entire show, she kept adjusting sound balances (or whatever you call them don't judge me lol). There were some mic feedbacks, but it wasn't too bad. Besides, it's kinda hard to know what to set your settings to without a soundcheck, and obviously it's a festival so Lana couldn't do one. She has been putting a lot of emphasis and effort into her soundchecks to make sure her music is being played the way she wants it to be played.  
She also said something along the lines of "I hope you guys can hear the music well. I know the stage is hella loud." The Black Keys' music was loud and noticeable during some of the quiet parts of her show. I feel really bad for Lana because I'd think that she'd take it personal is people left her show.
 
Overall, I enjoyed the show! She was really into her band's performance especially in Shades of Cool. It was my favorite song that she sang because I love how she has slowed down the first part kf the chorus to optimize her voice! It sounds amazing live! And during the bridge, Lana just closed her eyes and danced. She didn't sing during it, and she just really got into the music!
 
Btw she skipped 3 songs from her setlist: Us Against the World ( I really wanted to her this song, and I'd thought she'd sang it due to its jazzy New York roots), YCBTB/FMWUTTT, and Do Right.

You're Gonna Love Me kills me. It really really does. I can't believe how much I love this song. Serial Killer and St Tropez too, and TOSTB and MPG and Dark Paradise and I'm forcing hard myself to stop because I can legit cite half her discography, but holy crap, You're Gonna Love Me is out of this world, it's surreal. I love everything about it. She has so many songs ugh it's impossible to choose 

Nat King Cole - Autumn Leaves

Her mind's like a diamond
Her mind's multifaceted 
 
That's how I see it
 
Carmen is a great song imo. I think she took inspiration in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. For me, it's the story of a high-class prostitute.

Do you want her career to end?

Large music festival, her only major festival this year, first time playing in her home state in years, the tour has a very "NYC in the 50s" feel.

me thinks she will re-release Carmen and just call it Music To Watch Boys To, hoping we won't notice

"Crying tears of gold like lemonade"

Hi everyone, I am home from the concert tonight! Here's my experience, hope this helps for future attendees lining up. BTW I had silver VIP
 
Highlights
- if you're lining up for the pit, split the regular and VIP lines early on
- my guess is that there were around 70-90 silver VIP
- I got a selfie with Lana! Life goal complete!!!
- Lana accepted my gift!!!! It was a embroidered flag of a scene from Ride
 
Early line up for pit admission
I got there at 6am with @@Bae. I was #16 by the system made by the people that arrived first (they camped out from the day before). We had a mixed line of regular and VIP which was a mess. The venue staff came at 1pm and told all regular tickets to come out of the line, and line up in a different area. Of course everyone got up and rushed to the exit. So the regular tickets that had camped out all night were no longer in the first spots, I felt bad for them.
While lining up around noon (before the lines got split), 2 regular tickets came with their mom and tried to cut in line. Their argument was that there was empty space along the barricade, so they were entitled to bud the ~40 regular tickets and take that space. People tried to reason with them but they (mostly the mom) did not understand respect for others....
The VIP line got a little mixed up and the venue staff said that our number systems would not matter anymore. But we all agreed that we would stay in our number order, like civilized human beings.
3:30-4pm the VIP host came to give numbered wristbands. Then we could leave until 5pm to pick up the actual tickets
 
Entering the Pit
We didn't get swag bags, since they will be shipped to us. Maybe this is because we're a Canadian location. Anyway I prefer this.
Then we lined up again in another area. Later the VIP host put everyone back in order, more waiting, then they lead us in single filed.
I was front row center! Just to the right of the mic and the stairs (which were in the middle of the stage). I tried to make space for myself along the barricade but every time I moved the smallest muscle, my space would shrink. Another VIP girl with number 50-ish was behind me (2nd row).
 
Physical Experience in the Pit
I suggested to my neighbours that if anyone tried to get on the barricade from behind us, we would grab eachothers' arms. No one tried to get inbetween us! I was amazed. There was constant pressure on my back from the other people. A girl was kneeing me in the back of my knee, but I think it was not intentional. I ended up taking a wider stance and she ended up having a leg inbetween mine :S I'm 5'2" so I guess that was a good position for her to look right over my head.
When Lana came closer (to the steps or the other side of the barricade) the crowd would surge from sides and behind. When that happened, literally I have not felt so much force across my whole torso ever. I had a letter for Lana between me and the barricade, and I really had to fight to get the smallest gap to slide it out.
My brother who was in the second row, but ended up 3rd row said the concert felt like being in strong ocean currents.
I was holding my flag over the barricade, and a photographer came to take some photos of it. I felt very cool. He looked like Francesco but darker haired.
 
My Concert Experience
Grimes- I was not into her music previously, but the energy she puts on just makes you feel like having fun. She's very entertaining, humble and spunky. She was very confident and delivered in her performance.
Lana (singing)- AMAZINGGGGG! She was gorgeous, confident, smiled a lot, really into it, vocally strong. I'm bad at remembering the set list, but no DR, UATW, YCBTB. She did the SK moan, and had that "I know you're all going to go crazy" look on her face, what a sweetie. She did come down the steps once but didn't really go towards the crowd. I don't remember her saying HM will be released in September, I heard her say "this year".
Lana (greeting fans)- She came down at the end with OTTR instrumental in the background. So I know there is a theory that she greets people on the her right side of the stairs, but she only went to her left. When she was 5 people away from me I was so nervous that she would for some reason go back or skip me (I'm skeptical and have low expectations to avoid let downs). I swear I saw her hair get caught on something, but it was quickly freed and she smiled as if we all knew that her hair was pulled last year in Toronto.
When she got to me, she looked me in the eyes and I could not say what I had rehearsed millions of times before. I think I said "I made this for you" about the flag I made. But I think I was really quiet because I was so shocked, and she couldn't hear. Also I didn't want to lean in to say it in case I got pushed forward or she likes her personal space. So we took a picture together!!!! I still cannot believe that this happened! She didn't take my gift because we had the misunderstanding. She moved on to greet others. I wasn't sure if I could give it to her so I motioned to the security guard infront of me to put my gift on the stage, but he gestured for me to give it to her (she was much further down at that point). When she came back to go up the steps again, I stuck out my flag and letter as far as I could. I think I had a crying face on at that point because I was so overwhelmed. She gave me a look of appreciation like "really, you are willing to giving this to me?" I nodded and she took it!!! Omg, what a Goddess indeed. I'm still in shock and can't believe this all happened!! I don't know how to add pictures, but you can see them on my Insta account "weekendirene"
 
But sadly a girl I knew from the line was taking a selfie with Lana, but because so many people were pushing, she couldn't get the photo. I feel really bad for her. And I don't understand why people in the back rows stick their arms out to take a really close up photo of Lana or take a photo of Lana and whoever she is taking a selfie with? Anyway, it was unfortunate and I just feel bad for her.
 
Hope you enjoyed the story of my experience!

You say that like it's a turn-off for Lana.

I understand that, but there's more to it than that. Let's not forget that Lana has openly talked about her struggles with severe anxiety and stage-fright, and she's only recently started to sound seriously amazing live. Some artists can handle stage-fright (like Madonna) and others can't.  It's possible she just can't do more than 13 or so songs without struggling.  I'd rather have a short, amazing concert than a long, crappy one. On that note, her voice might not be able to handle more, either. I used to perform classical and opera concerts locally, and the most I could ever do was 12 songs. Then my voice went to hell.  If Lana has a similar problem, she has every right to stop when she feels like it. Plus, it's common knowledge that her concerts run short. I knew that when I got my tickets, and it went longer than I expected, to be honest. I'm definitely not trying to argue or be a brat, but I just think there are a lot of elements to take into consideration. Whatever she chooses to do is her prerogative. No one is being forced to see her or pay money without checking into how long her concerts generally run. 

yes  

Sponsorship it's not irrelevant because the complexity and the length of the show it's about money among other factors. Artists like Gaga, Taylor and Perry can put up a huge shows with a lot of people involved and in the same time they can keep the ticket prices reasonable. Lana is loved by many but she's not sufficiently mainstream to attract those sponsors for her shows. 
I criticized her for many things but the ES tour is good taking in account what I said before. But Lana has a different kind of artistry, her music isn't suited for dancers and costume changes, and if you are a fan you would understand that. If you are a casual concert goer I agree that you can be disappointed because of your unrealistic expectations from her show.
 
I didn't say to worship her or not to express your opinion here, I said only to not go to her shows if you don't like it because I doubt that Lana will change her shows significantly. That's her, if you like it take it, if not leave it.

Poor Barrie is probably sticking a pin in his Francesco voodoo doll as he Google Translates this.

Lana Del Rey's boyfriend Francesco Carrozzini: I never thought our love would be so strong
 
What was your sexiest shoot so far?
[He talks about his work.] And of course let's not forget about my girlfriend Lana.
 
Okay but which one? You have been with Lana Del Rey for about a year now and you've done two shoots. You also shot the video for Ultraviolence, which has a high sexual dosage.
That's not the sexy shoot I was talking about though. It's always harder to work with someone for a long time if you have known each other for a while. I have my experiences with that, since I've been working with my mum for years. 
 
Let's talk about your relationship with your girlfriend...
I moved from New York to Los Angeles for 7 months to be with her. To be honest I thought I would only stay the winter, then return back to New York and we would find a way to work it out...
 
So your love was stronger than you thought...
Yeah we can say that. We have an isolated, calm life in Los Angeles. We are in our own world. It's good for work as well, all the actors and musicians are in Los Angeles. And I work with them... We are able to take care of our jobs and go back to our shells. Our house is also not very 'in sight', it's peaceful. We surf, we ride around with motorbikes...
 
But both of you are very busy, how do you make time for each other?
We have to choose most of the time. Sometimes we cancel our work to spend time with each other. Or we plan around our schedules. For example I was with her on her last tour. You have to make sacrifices to make things work.
 
You are a well-known photographer, your family is famous, your girlfriend is a star, all the paparazzi are following you. Don't you get overwhelmed?
We have no social life anymore, because we have to protect ourselves. We don't join parties or go to invitations. And when people force me, I always make up excuses like "I'm travelling"...
 
It's a lot messy since it was translated from English and I had to translate it back again. And nothing interesting imo.

i agree
