^agreed with Off To The Races. That, plus the stripped back Summertime Sadness used in the music video, Blackest Day, and some more upbeat songs as well. To be honest unless she's taking the breakup with Francisco poorly I don't think she'll have a lot of dark material to work with in this album. She's talked about how she more or less said everything she wanted to say regarding her life in Ultraviolence/BTD/Paradise and that HM was less autobiographical. I think that she's not going to have so much to share in this next album as well so I'm thinking it will be less dark. To be honest I don't see Lana going experimental. I could definitely see an album fleshed out with songs similar in sound to Ridin' and Prisoner however.

1. Backfire 2. Shades of Cool 3. The Blackest Day A girl in a failing relationship begins to realize that her lover is beyond helping, accepts that fact, and then is left alone by her lover.

I love these. I'm creating a playlist called trilogies and putting them all on it. Some of these are really really good

Lana has her famous BTD trilogy, which is supposed to be Video Games, Blue Jeans, and Born to Die, all centering around the same guy (though there are many that would say multiple men are being sung about). I was wondering if you guys had your own trilogies? One of the great things about Lana's music is that it is relatively consistent in its subjects and themes, leading to easy story creation through linking songs. For me, I only have one that I have really put together as a trilogy, considering them to all be related to each other, seen below. However, I think there are more if I thought about it more which is why I'm asking you guys. For me: 1. Queen of Disaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCeZsWHg7vo 2. Beautiful Player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjwCODMMOsk 3. Making Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRQbQN7OiqM The story: (Part 1) A young Lana finds the man of her dreams while she is unsuccessful, and they share in their misfortunes together. They're King and Queens of the New York scene. (Part 2) Lana then finds out he's a player but she continues to love him anyway as she feels he completes her and accepts her in her faults, and she his, wholly and completely. This relationship continues but as his money improves from his drug dealing, he starts seeing other women even more and Lana realizes that he will never reciprocate her love. (Part 3) This leads to our New York City Queen deciding to start seeing other men on the side, as well. He finds out and tries to win her sole affection and attention back, and she does love him and attempts to continue seeing him. However, she ultimately decides that she's better off relying on the money she makes being with these other men and rejects her beautiful player.

The way she moves at the end reminds me of a robot or something, I can't even describe it.

You're supposed to post unpopular opinions.

Making Out Ver 2 (auto tuned) is far superior to Ver 1

I used to think this song was about Mike but it's about that guru she was in the cult with for a bit.

Oh also one of the most important things she has influenced me on was making me feel like I needed to be hotter to be what all the boys wanted. Idk she just looked perfect to me and I loved that she was aware of how hot she was in her music. I wanted to be able to be as comfortable with my looks as she was and lol well...

Me too. I can't believe there are people that don't like it. That and the Interlude are probably the most played so far, closely followed by The Blackest Day and HBTB. I don't really care about Salvatore, if only for the name connection to Backfire.

I have a terrible singing voice but it was just the lyrics I wanted to express. I might make a soundclound and if I do I'll send over a link.

I think it's her having fun, which I really like to see. It reminds me of her Lizzy Grant days where she was always smiling throughout her vids.

The exact picture I was thinking of as I said that.

AKA vibes. Love how young she looks. Tbh I don't see anything sinister in these smiles, sorry @ and @

yeah her, amy winehouse, and my own songs written in english are the only english speaking artist I listen to - rest are Japanese. oh and taylor swift, but that's because she is popular here on the radio and tv.

She's happy with how things are going this era and that's evident in this video. The white boys looked hotter in the music video than they did in their instagrams so that's a plus.

I'll try but tbh I have a very narrow selection of music. Lana, Bubblegum JPOP, and orchestral/classical music. And that's kinda it. I will try tho 4 u

my ex loved sufjan stevens and one time i told him his music was too depressing and we almost broke up over it lol

Some of Lana's best stuff is the "unreleased" (not on Sirens) acoustic stuff from the formative years. If she went back to those songs - In Wendy, Pin Up Galore, Wayamaya, 1949, etc. - I think musically, "sonically" she could have a very solid next album. That being said, I am completely aware that these songs are very juvenile and contain an innocence that has now left her lyrics and melodies. As such it may be something that ends up sounding forced and uncharacteristic. But still, I want that sort of album.

She's coming to Asia?? Where has this been said? She cancelled her time in Tokyo twice in 2012, so if she actually came this time I would be first in line to buy tickets.
