I just found this and thought I was a very interesting interview. http://lanadelreycrew.com/2014/08/lana-del-reys-interview-with-bhmagazino/
 
” Ultraviolence ” gives you the vibe that it could have been written back in the 60′s in Laurel Canyon, this neighbour hood in Los Angeles where an informal community of artists like Frank Zappa and Jim Morrison had been created.
 
Yes, I really love that era, especially Johnny Mitchell, which was my mothers favorite. When I was living in New York, that’s what I was going for, the feeling of community, something like what Jeff Buckley did back in the 90′s, or Bob Dylan in the 60′s. However, I never found my ” gang “, my family.
When I arrived in Los Angeles, I met people who I could play with, people who I could talk to. All those had somehow rebuilt, Laurel Canyon, like Father John Misty and Jonathan Wilson, who I started writing the album with. Whatever I was seeking in New York, I found it on the West Coast. I used to drive in my old Mercedes from one house to another, I felt like I was back in high school. Every seven years the centre of gravity in the music industry moves from one coast to another. Now everything’s in the ” West Coast “.
 
Your songs seem to put melancholy in an environment of opulence. Is this your intention or does this happen accidentally?
 
I feel like I make happy songs, but when others listen to them, they think they’re sad. I can’t escape from my life, which has been wavy. Three years after my debut album, I’m still suffering from self-doubt and depression. Ahead of me there’s uncertainty and a feeling of emptiness. I don’t like it when I don’t know where I’m going. My love life, my family – are so fragile. I’m not sure of anything.
 
What do your fans maybe not imagine about your life?
 
Nobody knows it but I really love to dance, While we were recording in Nashville, when we were finished with the tracks, we would listen to everything we had made and dance along like crazy. We invited people we had met in a shop near the area of the studio and our friends like Juliette Lewis or Harmony Korine. I never worked like that before. It was the first time I was with such creative people in the studio. I learned a lot, now I can isolate myself, I can experiment without trying, even if there are many people in the studio. There’s a huge universe in my mind I usually go to find shelter in. I may not be that lucky in my everyday life, but as far as my work is concerned – I’m blessed. In the studio I’m always surrounded by good people. My mood is always good there.
 
You’ve been through a lot until you released Born To Die, when did you realize that you have to insist on working?
 
While recording Born To Die, I will never forget when my father visited me. He was so surprised when he saw me so sure, so determined, asking for a beat or a deal with my producer. He had no idea what I had been doing for 6 years, the fact that I was building my own little world with passion. My parents didn’t even know I was singing. However when my father saw me in the studio, he told me it was one of the most beautiful days of his life. He was so shocked, he realized that music was my passion. My family insisted on telling me to not drop out of school for music. I finished my studies in Philosophy because I knew it would help me “nourish” my songs.
 
Do you believe in talent?
 
I feel like I have a charisma to make music. However, these last years there were times when I hadn’t written a word I liked and I prayed for my muse to come back to me. And suddenly, last winter, a song like ” Old Money ” came to my mind. What happened with an older song called ” Carmen “, is that I got inspired while walking and wrote it afterwards. That time of my life I used to walk a lot, it was my ritual. Now, I drive and go swimming on the Pacific Ocean. And inspiration comes to me from these everyday actions. I record myself in my car, singing loudly.
 
Which part of your work is pleasure and which part of your work is torture?
 
Pleasure starts and ends with recording the album. Then the pain starts, touring, promotion, difficult stuff. Because even if I try to convince myself it’s okay, misunderstandings and twisted ideas regarding who I am, are constantly being spread around, and I feel like I have to stand up for myself, like I have to excuse everything I do and I don’t need that. My music is quite good for me to not need to excuse myself. Deep inside, I’d rather keep silent.
 
How concentrated are you when you work?
 
I can make my producer go crazy, because I have a very clear vision for my songs and in the end I want the speakers to play exactly what I had in my head. Same goes for the videos. I have the storyboards ready in my mind. I might have made Auerbach so insane this year, but at the end of the day there will be one name on the cover of the album and that’s my name. I have to protect it.
 
There’s this track on Ultraviolence called ” Brooklyn Baby ” where you mentioned Lou Reed.
 
I was dreaming to share it with him, I thought that he would find the lyrics very fun. I wrote them thinking about him. The day I flew to New York in order to meet him, he died.
 
A lot of your idols have died at such a young age, Elliot Smith, Amy Winehouse, Marilyn Monroe, Jeff Buckley..
 
I do not love them because they died young, but this seems to be the fate of almost everyone I admire. Luckily, this didn’t happen with Leonard Cohen. I do not romanticize death at a young age, artists are far more useful alive than dead.
 
You give the impression you don’t enjoy huge concerts, is that true?
 
I’m on tour in America since the first days of April, it’s the first time I play so many shows and everything goes exceptionally well. These past two years I don’t feel very well physically, I suffer from gastric ulcer, but I can make it through concerts who’s capacity can be over 9,000 people. I smoke, I drink a lot of coffee. I eat chocolate and pizza. My way of living when I’m not on tour isn’t that right. The fact I played Coachella and Glastonbury in the same year is a great honour. When I’m done with my tour, I’d like to occupy myself with cinema and movies. I have received some interesting suggestions and I’m really tempted to say ” Yes! “. When I was little I used to dream about Cannes, the festival, the prestige and the red carpet. I sang there last May for the third year in a row. As a teenager, I dreamt about living in France, an exile poetess. I really loved French culture, especially Serge Gainsbourg.

Exactly!!

as inspired by my other post here: http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/5081-the-source-family-ultraviolence-lana-del-rey/

Just a little something I made
 
 
Sorry it's a link... The forums won't embed videos from Daily Motion I guess...?

Lorde being #3  and Lana #4
 
I thought Teenage Dreams or The Fame Monster would top most those albums. The only ones that seem WW expressive is BTD, Pure Heroin and Pink Friday. 

This site is cool, too. For Lana, for everyone. They need to update it with her '85 actual DOB.

'...Easily seduced, they can also enchant others, whether consciously or unconsciously; such seductive individuals may have a sweetly innocent charm. They must be wary of being imposed upon, but they usually have good defensive instincts, and in the emotional sphere even mild individuals will gently lay down guidelines that should not be overstepped. The more aggressive of them are often aware of their persuasive powers, which they may use without qualm to get their way, even when other individuals are hurt in the process.
    Although possessed of charm and magnetism, they can be remarkably cool customers. They have a useful objectivity, and their reasoning powers make an effective foil to their deep emotions. They are in fact an interesting blend of logic and feeling. When they make an appeal to the emotions of others, they do so in a detached, thoughtful way. Not easily upset, they inspire confidence through their sympathy, concern and willingness to help. They have a way of entering the hearts of those they love, and a reluctance to give up their position there, even when separations prove necessary.
    These tend to be private people who will not easily grant access to their inner world. They frequently do best when they are able to work at home, and they often set up their home as a kind of retreat or sanctuary. To be allowed to share their living space implies great trust and respect. An invitation to visit this highly personal world is more often felt as a true gift, or the reflection of a desire to share, than as a sign of ostentation or of a need for sociability.
    These folks must beware of isolating themselves from the society around them and living in an unproductive dreamworld. Such detachment will hold them back in their personal and spiritual development, and toward the end of their lives they may view it as a sign of failure. Since staying in touch with reality is especially important for them, they may find friends and lovers who are more extroverted than they are an essential link to the world. They should also beware of a kind of passive selfishness, in which it seems to others that they think the world revolves around them and that they constantly demand attention, if without saying so. Their special needs and wants as sensitive individuals can impose heavy demands on their friends and intimates, who may at the same time find themselves denying their own emotional and physical requirements.'
 
 
Sounds like Lizzy, all right.

It seems like the start of what turns into an abusive relationship. The end hints at a darker progression of the relationship. You get a happy bride, a sensual woman, in love and getting married - but by the end, she's kneeling ALONE in church, a white dove on the floor, turning back to look ... at what? Her past? Peering into her future? It's gorgeous; this might be my new favorite Lana video after Born To Die. The simplicity, the haunting vibe, the vague sense of creepiness - it's just perfect.  And WOW she has never looked better!

So why are you both here then?

I love that the video has been met with critical acclaim by those with knowledgeable opinions of music video production. It's an intentionally simple, hauntingly beautiful video, even if it's not the kind of overdone, polished pop video that most of you appear to be used to, and it carries a lot of meaning.
 
You guys are starting to sound like Little Monsters with your histrionics.

I've been waiting for this video to match up with your findings @@Lanakai! Thoughts?!?

On the collaboration process for Ultraviolence:
“Meeting [producer/Black Keys frontman] Dan Auerbach changed everything. He really brought fun back into my life. We had a natural chemistry between us that was kind of palpable and he was spontaneous. We’d go into the studio with the band and do one cut of Ultraviolence—raw and live with all seven players in the same room with an old bedroom microphone—and leave it as it was. It was thrilling.”
 
On her current fashion transformation:
“There has been an evolution. It came with the music. I love the idea of being able to get up on stage in my favourite denim shorts and my favourite linen shirt and wear a pair of gold bands and diamonds. It is so freeing. When I first got on stage—four years ago—I felt like what I had to do was put a dress on and be presentable in some way.”
 
On how her relationship with rocker Barrie-James O’Neill fueled Ultraviolence‘s lyrics: 
“I’m a dark character and he very is an even darker character than I am. Trying to get some consistency and some normality within the dynamic of that relationship has been impossible. Songs like “Shades of Blue” came out all that.”
 
On what gives her confidence:
“Lately, I’ve sought comfort in one-on-one interactions with people backstage after the shows—spending hours with fans afterwards and drawing energy from that well. People liking what I’m doing on stage is a big ‘fuck you’ to whoever doubted me in the first place.”

A true stan can withstand these things
My heart can beat with super8 cameras and oranges
My ULTRAVIOLENCE could mean anything

IMHO regarding unreleased songs: if Lana put out very well produced versions of Television Heaven and Tired of Singing the Blues in any format, I'd be happy.

From someone who grew up in the film industry, I think it's a hauntingly beautiful work. It's very reminiscent of the videos for 90s indie rock videos or found footage, psychological thriller films. Music videos, unlike feature films, do not require anything beyond an episodic plot and there's a lot going on underneath the surface here and a lot of metaphoric imagery. 
 
I love the final sequence of Lana walking down the aisle alone. 

Great footage but bland. She could have done a lot more with even just one more scene for some juxtaposition or... Something.

i dont think people are ever going to accept lanas change of direction
