YUNGATA

My friend and I have this joke that Lana's version of dancing is sitting, looking somber and moving her hands.

It only cost me about an extra $10 for shipping and I'm in Australia, where shipping is usually $500 + your soul.

How is sex not a deep idea? Everything about sex is meaningful in some way.

I've only heard the snippets but wow I'm really excited about the EP. I think it's going to be great, even if it's different. I really believe any material we hear from Lana is just greater insight into her writing, thoughts and feelings. Honestly I just feel so blessed to be alive when such a beautiful and intricate person is out creating art.

Lana, that's my bitch: how to flatter women by A$AP Rocky

Confused. Floral. And ah, odd?; Becoming the world's most endearing hipster.

Right? No one woman should have all that swag.

Lana del sex dreams, awesome.

Says it feels like heaven to him

I love the video. It makes me giggle. It really just reminds me of a little girl who found mum and dad's video camera and went wild with a few dance moves. Edit: Video for Brite Lites

Nice idea for a thread, always curious to see exactly what people love about Lana. Born to Die: Radio AKA: Yayo Sirens: Bad Disease Unreleased: Never Let Me Go Demos: Pawn Shop Blues Collabs: Ridin' (A$AP Rocky)

Lana Del Jacket appreciation post

"Hi my name is Lana Del Rey and I'm so cute I'll make you want to cry".

Can we do live versions? If so, definitely Without You live at Amoeba.

I've heard that too so I think so, yeah.

I've seen a few names bounced around, I kind of smile at Sparkle Jump Rope Queens, but overall I agree that we don't need a name.

You guys weren't feeling the drums in that? I enjoyed the demo versions but when I heard the drums on the BTD version it just blew my mind.

I actually didn't view her as being a prostitute to be honest. I saw it more as she was their "pretty little object" that we stereotypically believe all biker groups to have. The girl that they all had and all loved who they take around with them but genuinely adore. I think what solidified that most for me was the scene with the guy brushing her hair. Brushing someone's hair is typically an affectionate perhaps even paternal sign, neither of which I associate with prostitution.

I know it was discussed more than a month ago but if you wouldn't mind I'd like to briefly touch on the un-feminist lyrics. As someone who's been in what I now realise were probably unhealthy relationships, albeit exhilarating, I really identify with a lot of what Lana's saying. But just briefly, I in no way mean to diminish or criticise your opinions by saying stuff like "you guys just don't know"; I don't know your lives or your struggles and I'm not prepared to make those judgements so this is merely my experience. I can see how on the surface a what of her lyrical content seems to be against positive feminist ideals, but when I was in those relationships the power balance felt very natural and like feminism wasn't apart of anything. I was happy to let the men in my life lead me because they made me feel safe and there was a lot of love there. I knew how hard my heart beat for them and I could feel that in them too. For me, to love someone that much in a i-can-hardly-breathe-when-we're-not-together way made me feel so alive. I'm guilty of doing a lot of things I shouldn't have done with them but I was so free. So when they held me a little rough or something similar it didn't matter because it felt like we belonged. I can see why things like that from another perspective may have seemed off and like I was being controlled or smothered but that's not how it felt. I was going to write a little more but I don't want to just bombard this thread with what is probably not interesting content.

Any chance you'd upload? :smiles:
