stoppp u made me think i was selecting this with my mouse

LMAO so true but in the end her music actually motivated me to live freely and shape my life the way I wanted to a.k.a. ask myself whether I'm in touch with all of my darkest fantasies   It's so funny to me how the media actually made her believe her music was depressing when it was/is so helpful. A song like Lust for Life ironically doesn't make me excited to be alive at all, because it portrays the act of taking responsibility of your life and your happiness as something so easy, almost natural (which it isn't imo). Like the one kid who always seemed to have a perfect life and positive outlook talking about how great it is to be on this earth. I like that she talks about that in Get Free though

The woman made 7-11 sound glamorous, what happened?  On a serious note I don't agree with your ranking but I truly wish she would start writing less abstract again and get back to painting pictures with her lyrics. The fact that she's talking about Lana Del Rey as a persona, art project or simply third person these last couple of interviews makes it seem like she moved on from being a "storyteller" (I think that's what she used to call herself). At the end of the day you're right though, the music is still amazing and I appreciate and love L4L a lot.

After listening to the album more than 25 times, I can finally put it in proper perspective in the context of her discography.
 
Paradise > Born To Die > Ultraviolence > Honeymoon > Lust For Life > AKA > From The End/Young Like Me
 
All the albums are wonderful and I love them all, but the amazing A-E-S-T-H-E-T-I-C she was serving at the start of her carreer is definitely gone.(Where are the allusions to wasted youth, honoring lost love and pale moonlight????? ) And that was kind of the best thing about her. We are left with amazing music anyway, it's just not as touching as TIWMUG or Radio or American and Gods and Monsters was.

New theory: Graham isn't Rob but actually Rick Nowels.

The title track is the worst song on the album and I honestly like Coachella a lot more. I think Coachella would be generally well received by fans if she hadn't released it as a single.

WTWWAWWKDW should have been open ended lyrically, I really dislike the "No, it's only the beginning" line

Me coming back to this website after being blocked: empty, neutral and emotionless

Well, here goes nothing   I've had this theory for years..
 
So I have gathered similiar lyrics but did consider the "drive by sunday night" reference and the timing is also a bit earlier (making it line up with the release of Sirens). The difference though is that this crime took place in South LA. (We all know she travelled through the USA as mentioned in several songs and videos, I believe this was during her gap year. Tropico proves the LA theory as well)
 
The double homocide took place on April 6th 2004 (Sunday to Monday night"drive by sunday night" - For K)
at 2AM ("I was shot at 2AM" - Jump -> as in that's when Lana died, too, because she lost him forever because of the crime)
over a drug dispute (I'm not gonna quote obvious themes in her music ) 
Lana was 18 at the time (gap year) 
 
Two men shot a man and three women (witnesses) in the Nickerson Gardens housing project, two of the women survived and one of them was brave enough to testify (She died September the same year, and her funeral took place in St. Paul's Baptist Chruch ("Swinging in and out of Old Paul's" - Video Games)
 
Sidenote: This could be a stretch but there's a Willowbrook street and a Willowbrook Park right next to the housing project ("See the willow bowing" - Out With A Bang)
 
In July 2004 one of the men (K) involved in the shooting was convicted to murder charge (the articles don't say the amount of years but I guess 30 could be it) The jury split about the question of death penalty and the 'phase of the case should be retried'. (Not important but the other man involved had a different trial as he didn't confess)
 
A piece of information that is missing is when they decided to put him on death row because in 2009 a judge denied to reduce his death sentence that's all I could find.
 
K was 28/27 in 2004, so he does kinda fall into the older man type. I mean 10 years apart for an 18 year old is a lot imo.
 
Now, his name is the most mind-blowing piece of information: Kai Harris (as in fucking K, Kai, KAY..)
 
ITS JUST A THEORY THOUGH  
 
 
 
 
PS: He's a lightskin black man ("golden skin" - several songs) with long dark hair (again) and a slender, muscular figure.

So, is she writing about Barrie again? Who else released something in the last couple of years?

Anybody who lived through 1864 pages of this Pre-Release mess (not to mention the Pre-Pre-Release thread) is a fan for life tbh

Let's stop posting at 2107 pages because that's gonna be the date of the release 

Honestly I don't think many people read the thread when so many people are posting. I'll be honest when I wake up and see 50 new pages. I usually just skip to the most recent page 
You can't blame someone for something they didn't see

The same fanbase who's shitting on songs like Love because they are too happy is now lusting after a song that is too happy. Luvs it.
