I have never fully listened to the sirens album, because I just can't get myself to do it. It starts of kinda boring

I got the idea that Ultraviolence isn't supposed to be about the lyrics really. But more about the music and the flow and feeling. Al the chaotic instrumentals, the tempo changes, it presents her state of mind at different times in her life or even in moments. We know Lana can write really well, so I think all the repeating is done on purpose, to shift the focuse from the lyrics on to the flow of the song itself. I think it's also why a lot of the vocals are drowned out by the instrumentals. It's not meant to be carefully listened to, to understand the lyrics, it's meant to be felt.

@  I dunno, I think it may be deliberate. The album was out last month. Apparently touring doesn't start till next year. So if she releases new music videos from August to December they keep the album in the press.

Body Electric feels like Trash Magic Part 2 to me and I love that. The song is super good, both the live and released versions.
 
I prefer Lana's natural, stripped-back look from the UV era to the beauty queen look of BtD.
 
I enjoyed Tropico. The first time I watched it, I didn't understand it, but rewatching it now, I think it's amazing.
 
Not an opinion, but I've never seen Lana live (apart from Youtube videos). Tickets are just way too expensive

Ok guys I'm working on that translation for hours already...it's so fucking long...But I'm doing this because you're my favorite little stans and I love you!  (the fact that I'm bored anyway also plays a little role)
Though I don't know if I'll be able to finish the whole thing today, maybe you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

Didn't she also say once in a interview that she drops to one knee, or walks down to the crowd because she is so nervous and shaky. So not that's its a deliberate act. But more the idea that she feels I need to get away from the podium for a moment.
sorry, totally of topic.

I really wonder if you've ever seen any other performers, to make a comment like that. I've seen performers do all sorts of things to deal with their insecurities (which every performer has, and tries to mask in one way or another) - I've seen them get drunk and abuse the audience; I've seen them ignore the audience completely; I've seen them turn up the 'rock star' act to 100% in a tiny club where they looked ridiculous; I've had artists pull me up on stage so that I could dance around [note: I'm a not particularly good looking guy who clearly wasn't being brought up for the eye candy value], and distract everyone's attention from what was going on.
 
Lana, in those times she's directly with her fans, seems so embarrassingly, ridiculously real that it almost hurts to watch her. If she acted any differently outside of shows, I'd wonder, but she's the same in every video I've ever seen of her meeting fans in the street, outside shows, at random encounters, and so on. She actually doesn't owe anybody anything in these meetings, but she has always seemed to me (as someone who's only seen videos) to be as genuine as is possible. If you want to experience a singer who introduces every song and sings every line to the back row, you can check out pretty much every other pop artist in the world at the moment. Lana is one of the very few singers around who is actually unpredictable and exciting enough to make watching videos worthwhile - you never know how she's going to sing something, or what she's going to do. Almost nothing is scripted, and the things that she repeats are so awkward and charming that she never looks like she's just crossing them off her list.
 
The end of relationships in real life is almost never like it is in the movies - it's messy and ugly and heartbreaking, and it never makes any of the parties involved look good. Lana herself puts it beautifully in 'Cruel World' by singing 'I'm finally happy, now that you're gone', and sounding like she's about to break down.
 
I find the easiest way of making sense of all of her contradictions and strange statements is to consider her a regular person, unschooled in how to act correctly, but trying to do the right thing. Sort of like the rest of us, when we're at our best.

1. I don't know if she is completely serious here. I mean its a cut off, so who nows what the real question was.
2. She said she finished the record around what was it december/januari? And redid the songs when she met Dan. So for her, ultraviolence has been done for quit some time now. It is only for the fans that the songs are new and just out. She has lived and relived them. And yes, she should still do a tour and everything. But in terms of making a record. I'm sure she has already been inspired for some weeks now for other songs.

Have some of you not heard Lana say that she is completely in love with UV?
 
It's not that she's disappointed with it. She's just ready to move on to the next project and continue her legacy.

I dunno, I think there is a difference between glamourizing death and having a different relationship with dead then most people do, as in fear of dying.
Lana fits the second part. She doesn't seem afraid of it, more like it is another life.
If that makes any sence at all

I think they both handled it very well, and it should be done now.
 
Frances didn't seem angry and wasn't lashing out. She just stated how she feels about it.
 
Lana was asked in a interview explicitly about cobain and amy, she responded that she admired their talents and personalities.
When asked about her own feelings, she was talking about dead. And again, I think Lana views dead different then most people.
 
I think in her replies she makes it clear that to her, it are almost 2 different topics.
