Poor Ultraviolence why didn't it get the success that it deserves

Does the cover quote her as saying "I'd like to live without fear"?

Does the cover quote her as saying "I'd like to live without fear"?

is this a new pic or 

how many magazines will she cover in this era?
 
the slayage is REAL!!!!
 
and the see-through dress and the white panties OMG!!!
 
what kind of reverse lolita lost in the woods experience!!!

She's namedropping/referencing so many things on this album, from the top of my head:
 
Billie Holiday
Bob Dylan
Bowie
Easy Rider
Robert Frost
Rapper's Delight
Maybe Foreigner (Cold As Ice)
Hotel California

I have to admit that I was wrong about Kieron and Rick. The album sounds good. Kudos to Lana as a producer.

done

Anyway, I can't believe that some people DONT know the font she's been using is Art Deco.
 
 
Ya'll really are 12.
 
Even then I don't get how ya'll don't know? where were you in 2013? When Lana embodied the whole Gatsby thing with her style.

All I know is if I get my copy of the CD tomorrow I'll figure out a way to get it to you guys.. What website should I use?

I remember some people on Twitter said that there's shipped and will come on Monday so let's pray to the metaphysical narco swing lords.

No wonder he got the album. He's a fuckin sleuth. A regular Sherlock Holmes. 

the back cover looks so great!

there is no need to drag someone´s appearance
 
delete it fat

could someone PM me or link me the MQ honeymoon recordings? Thank you xx

done sis

i'll write a song with some words to sing
no one will listen but you, you sing back to me, every word
you're standing there in your pink underwear
smiling at me like a child, you tell me to come, over there

"so much stronger, stronger here today
they can't push me down, turn me around
now i'm whole again, so much stronger today

music would heal me but not like you, songs used to kill me but now i'm immune, nothing matters, only you
the prettiest girl in the whole wide world, tell me you love me again, would you be, be my wife

don't need no money
don't need no friends
i just need you by my side"

These lyrics remind me of several Lana songs, the video was uploaded Nov. 3rd 2008

And half as many ways for you to lie to me, my little love
There's only 24 hours in a day
And half of those you lay awake with thoughts of murder and carnage

If you lie down with dogs then you'll get flees
Be careful of the company you keep

There's only 24 hours and that's not enough
To lie like you lie, or love like you love
Hmm, hmm...

There's only 24 hours in a day
And half of those you lay between the sheets with me, my lying love
There's only 24 hours, so you'd say
For most of them you pay for all the things they paid you for, my love

If you lie down with dogs then you'll get flees
Be careful of the ones you choose to leave

There's only 24 hours and that's not enough
To lie like you lie, or love like you love
Hmm, hmm...

Give me your keys, give me your diamonds
You hit that street, my crooked love
You count to three(?) while they're all dying
You're hard to reach, you're cold to touch

i'll write a song with some words to sing
no one will listen but you, you sing back to me, every word
you're standing there in your pink underwear
smiling at me like a child, you tell me to come, over there

"so much stronger, stronger here today
they can't push me down, turn me around
now i'm whole again, so much stronger today

music would heal me but not like you, songs used to kill me but now i'm immune, nothing matters, only you
the prettiest girl in the whole wide world, tell me you love me again, would you be, be my wife

don't need no money
don't need no friends
i just need you by my side"

"My way of socializing is by driving along a congested boulevard and observing people" 
 
lmaoo she sounds so weird sometimes

Oh my fuck

She looks so good

Interview conducted September 4th 2015
 
Pages before the interview (to be updated )
 
Have you ever felt this feeling of being in love, that takes your guts, makes you overturn and leaves you feeling disoriented and distraught, a bit lost, not knowing very well where to place what holds you, what wraps you, makes you drunk and petrifies you at the same time?
  A feeling that often appears when you know you're in love and that you see, in the same time, the object of this love escape, invariably. This is exactly what haunts every song that Lana Del Rey serenely chimes out since several years already, since this moment where her first hits, Video Games or Blue Jeans, seized a public not to let it go, taking it at the heart of romances composed by this young lady of 30yo on a makeshift computer, but nourished by a writing that ceaselessly mixes fiction, reality and autobiography, without ever unveiling itself completely.   Since Video Games, all of Lana's music, every of her lyrics and the slightest notes that composes her songs speak of and evokes only this: love stories seized in singular moments - a dreamy beginning, a raging end. But never at the middle of a story, when tensions (sexual, romantic, intellectual) are soothed or on their way to disappear. In her songs, her voice plays on this register, always stays at the summit of peace but oscillate between the absolute joy of knowing itself of being in a state of being in love and the absolute depression of seeing itself being confronted to the very impossibility of the bond she sings. Lana's voice flirts always with the mystery and what is unexplained - in her or in us?   By mid-summer, she released, in introduction to her new record, a handful of tracks that answers each other, playing on these very feelings. The first, Honeymoon, seems to get an embryo of a story, a bond still full of illusions, romances, desires and blindness - "We make the rules", she sings, adressing herself to another, a lover, like an echo to a breviary very romantic. The world is ours, she says. Nevertheless, the song released a few weeks later, High By The Beach, says the exact contrary. She explores the end of a relation, the disparition of love and the loneliness that follows. The desire of loneliness stronger than everything, at the moment of being done with the other. Destroy, she says. In a few words, she declines the contempt that seized the one, him, her, the doesn't love anymore. Has she seen Godard? Was she thinking of Bardot in Le Mépris? With Lana, nothing surprises, especially not european references, the bonds weaved subrepticely with other arts than music, starting with images, the cinema.   Finally, the third track unveiled at the end of the summer, her favourite it seems, joins like an intimate post-scriptum, giving a new perspective to the story sketched in the two previous tracks. At the heart of this song, Terrence Loves You, she throws this sentence, so cliché elsewhere but so poignant in her mouth: "I lost myself when I lost you". And, as to climb back to something, she also things, in the same breath, this other sentence, "Hollywood legends will never grow old", that says a lot on what obsessed her: the legends, the glamour, the mythical Los Angeles of the 50'. What if Lan, in 2015, was an echo of what Billy Wilder filmed in Sunset Boulevard? The very representation of what it means to be an idol, in her monolithic beauty, her errances, her contradictions and her inherent fragility. What if Lana was the last of these women that made Hollywood? What if Lana, more than a singer, was an actress, the last of mythical Hollywood actresses?     Interview translation by @ no credits to me   In what state of mind did you record this new album?
I started to record it when I was mixing Ultraviolence. The mixing of this album took time, and it was good to start at that moment a new creative process. My mood as really good in the beginning, then it became introverted when I asked myself how to finish this record.

You wanted a record linked to jazz. Did you really conceive it in this way?
I think so. In a certain way, the tracks Honeymoon, Terrence Loves You, God Knows I Tried and the cover of Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood have a dark blue (   ) colouration and I tried to increase the tempo of the album with the middle tracks, like Freak and Art Deco.

Honeymoon is one of your strongest songs…
It’s one of the first tracks that I wrote for the record and that overwhelmed me right away. The melody and the lyrics of the chorus kept coming back in my head day after day, but I postponed the moment when I would work on the rest, the harmonics… I ended up recording at the studio and it touched my most sensible point right away. I was happy to follow what I felt even if the melody sounded obscure and a bit from the 30s.

Your songs often mention places, avenues. What’s the importance of LA in your writing?
The places that I cite in this new songs are very important to me. Some times I’d like to be less precise, more universal, but I’m really loyal to myself by evoking certain avenues, streets or names of people. Wilshire Boulevard in particular is very dear to me because I often stop there to write. Maybe because it’s one of the largest streets in LA, or maybe because my way is socializing is by driving along a congested boulevard and observing people.

Are High By The Beach and Honeymoon related?
Now that you mention it, Honeymoon was a more personal song in which I thought about my past, I wanted to share some of my favorite places and all of my moments of peace with someone. HBTB is the last song I wrote for the album and tells, deep down, the solitude. I didn’t think that there would be a link between these two tracks but there is one throughout the record, the same melodic atmosphere, specially in the more jazzy tracks.

The literary references are important to you. What writers or artists mattered recently?
Ginsberg inspires me just as much as before, with his free way of writing his thoughts. I love Emily Dickison, Miles Davis, The Moody Blues, Leonard Cohen, most of all, Bob Dylan. Federico Fellini and Picasso too.   TLY and HM are part of your most personal songs. Did you want to dive into deeper feelings? Find other perspectives for your music?
Not really. I rather had the impression that after three records, I had to concentrate on something more surreal, and not be too much intellectual. That being said, the track God Knows I Tried evoke the confusion I felt and TLY touches me more closely. On this record, I think that I was the closest to my emotions.

TLY seems to evoke an evasive memory.
I love the idea of a memory that slowly disappears. It’s really romantic.

You covered Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood: how does this song fit along with your other covers?
I choose covers that tell either stories parallel to mine, or feelings that I would’ve found hard to express with my own words. Depending on the period of my life, I cover songs that allow me to tell things to other people, or even words that I wanted to hear myself saying to fix some of my problems.

The video for HBTB gives the impression that you are trying to protect yourself of the outside world. Is it the case?
Yes.

What impression do you have about the track you did with The Weekend that just came out?
A good impression. We had wanted to do something together for a long time and it’s a coincidence that both of our records are being released at the same time. He’s someone very talented.

One last question: how do you wear your nails this days?
At this moment my nails are neither too short nor too long, very clean and always with a light rose or beige colour.

Welcome to LANALYSIS, where we get real unhealthy in our obsessions and absolutely revel in it.

This is a project I've been maintaining for a while now--Lana + Analysis...get it? The basic purpose is to relate every one of her songs (that's right, every last one of them) to her known and assumed relationships. Not a stone is left unturned. Privacy is violated. The fans rejoice. Mind you, it’s all pure speculation, but ~this is what makes us stans~

It’s pretty long but an interesting read, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it in all it’s updated glory, and I will continue to update as new information is revealed and new songs come out. I will also be adding pictures, sources, etc. Stay tuned!

Let’s get started!



EARLY RELATIONSHIPS (1985 - ~2005)



LOCAL ROCKSTARS (~2005 - 2009)



YOU MADE ME NICE FOR A WHILE (2009 - 2011)



POST-BREAKTHROUGH (2011+)



IN THE LAND OF DISCREPANCIES



ADVANCED LANALYSIS



IN SUMMARY..

Lingering questions…
- Who the fuck is K?
- Who the fuck is Ray?
- Who the fuck is Bill? Is Bill really K? Does Bill matter at all?
- What significance do cars play? She mentions eight in total (white Corvette, white Pontiac, blue Chevy Nova/Chevrolet, Cadillac convertible, Mercedes, pickup truck, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron)
- When was she/who was she with in New York City and New Jersey? Ditto LA? Most mysterious and pressing, her time in the South?
- Did she have a fling with Bradley Soileau?
- Did Chris C. matter enough to her for her to write songs about him?

Assumptions Made:
- Lana was a gogo dancer.
- K is a drug dealer/murderer, dead or on death row.
- Jimmy is her ex-fiancé, addicted to cocaine despite a Wikipedia page stressing how healthy he is, associated with Chevrolets.
- Much of Sirens is about completely different relationships.
- She fucked Bradley.
- Mike controlled her career but their relationship wasn’t associated with anything fucked up like drugs or stripping.


Thanks for reading! I crave both your feedback and theories! This remains a forum collaboration and I don't claim to have the final say on Lanalytical manners.

For the sake of believability, I'm always hunting receipts, and currently:
- The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games"
- The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean.
- The interview where she talks about meeting her boyfriend in rehab and being dazzled by his small-scale celebrity.
