  1. I thought "Change is a powerful thing People are powerful beings Trying to find the power in me To be faithful" would be the chorus and I thought it was pretty anticlimatic and kitschy. I'm glad it's seemingly not.

    Like I said, you can enjoy a concert and make some noise and NOT drown out the singer cause you need to SCREAM the lyrics along. There is no point in going to a concert if all you hear is yourself.

    There are people attending a concert because they actually want to enjoy the performance and you're ruining it for them cause you need to have your party-moment. Singing along is one thing btw, screeching along is another. Singing along during big hits/singles or when the artists asks the crowd is also different than constantly whaling along. Go to the karaoke bar if you want to sing.

    Lorde

    Lol, both were having a point. Lorde wants to perform a special song and Melanie wanted to make a serious statement. But the gays don't care for either, all they want to do is scream and yaaass mindlessly. Experience a concert does not mean screaming your lungs out, it means listening to the music but most of the pop-gurls fans semingly rather want to hear their own shitty voices screaming along. like, why do you spend money then? Sing along in your car while you play the CD.
  5. CatchTheBreeze sent me this interview, I'm not good with translation so please tell me if something doesn't make sense/ sounds off and I'll change it. I think there is some pretty interesting information on Change. "I've got more fun in life now" 5 years ago shooting star Lana Del Rey amazed and enchanted the world of music with her debut album. On July 21 her fourth record will be released. Which's title is program. I: Mrs Del Rey, your debut record five years ago was called "Born To Die", the new one is called "Lust For Life". Are these album titles documenting where you were standing in your life during the respective time? LDR: Yes, I've developed in a quite good way, considering my overall feeling of happiness.I am still on the way and growth and chaos will keep me company through my life. But nonetheless I can clearly feel the change. I've got more fun in life than years ago. I: Is your new song "Change" about this transformation? LDR: Exactly. "Change" is the last song I wrote for this album. The four words I sing during the chorus are basically saying everything: honest, able, beautiful and stable. That's how I want to be. My whole life is defined by this quest, the quest to belong somewhere, to be part of something. I progressed a lot on this path. I: How do you know that? LDR: Because of my behaviour. And the way I deal with people.I've become a lot more relaxed and open-minded. I'msurely more self-assured aswell. In the beginning, I was very afraid, I did not know what people expected from me.I was under heavy surveillance, I lived under a cover everyone wanted to peak under. I: Why? LDR: The people were a lot more wary of me than with a lot of other artists. "Video Games", my first single, was very polarizing. I still don't really know why though. Because of that, I had the feeling that I was present in the world of music, but not really a part of it for a long time. By now I'm not afraid to approach people. It's no coincidence I invited a lot of other musicians to be on my new record. I: Like Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks, who's joining you on "Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems" LDR: Stevie is a friend of my producer Rick Nowels. She's so great, I'd call her a friend by now. Stevie's been doing music for 50 years now, she#s been around in the 70s, she's seen everything. One could be jealous. The Eagles, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - this whole sound of that time, I love it to death. Since I ive in L.A., I've been looking for other artists - other people - who feel the same. I: Did you already got to know a lot of 60s- and 70s-pop fans? LDR: The funny thing is, I've built a fantastic circle of friends in L.A, who all share this passion. Father John Misty and his wife Emma Tillman belong to those friends. Or Miles Kane and Alex Turner, the two boys from The Last Shadow Puppets. We're some sort of small folk-community. We spread this Laurel-Canyon-vibe I like a lot. I: Sean Lennon's on the record aswell, participating on the track "Tomorrow Never Came". How did that happen? LDR: I'm talking about my ideal relationship on that song. The song is one of the few on this album that's now about me. I use John Lennon and Yoko Ono as an example. I imagine the two of them, sitting on a bank in Central Park intimately, this couple prompts romantic feelings for me. So it immediatly suggested itself to ask Sean, since I also really like his music. And he immediatly told me he'd be there. I: When was the last time you danced on the "H" of the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles , naked, like you discribe it in the duet "Lust For Life" with Abel Tesfaye alias The Weeknd? LDR: (laughs) Never, that's pretty high! You can't just reach it with a ladder. But there are some pretty cool cafés and the Beachwood Canyon, which has some beautiful, hidden corners. I: Your voice and The Weeknd's voice go together perfectly by the way. LDR: Thanks. Our chemistry's right. Abel was one of the first to post the clip for "Video Games" in 2011. I've contacted him and we became friends. I: a few weeks ago, you've revealed you put a witch-curse on Donald Trump. Did it work? LDR: (laughs) I don't know. Everything we see of him now is the same as it was during the voting campaigns. He's actually continuing to be the same. Because of that, I'm afraid the curse hasn't worked yet. I'd really wish for a peaceful, chill time, that's what I talk about on the track "Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind" for example. Where did it go, the golden hippie-age? Instead there are threatening scenarios and Trump keeps on adding fuel to the fire. He said some things, women should be afraid of. I just hope nothing bad happens within the next three-and-a-half years.
  6. In the german interview @CatchTheBreeze sent me "Change"s chorus is composed out of 4 words. Since it's in german, I don't know how the exact words will be, but it's something like " honest, able, beautiful and stable".
  7. In the german interview @CatchTheBreeze sent me she says Change's chorus is composed out of 4 words. Since it's in german, I don't know how the exact words will be, but it's something like " honest, able, beautiful and stable". that's the way she wants to be.
  8. So 13 Beaches was a rework for the SR track, just like Ultraviolence was a revamp for a song called Melancholia and Old Money was crafted out of Methamphetamines.
  9. Gawd are y'all like 12 or something? Embarrassing 99% sure it's not. That track is most likely an UV outtake and it sounds much rawer and less melodic. IMF has some sort of cinematic vibe, not like 24 or Swan Song but I could somehow imagine it playing during a trailer for some sort of political thriller or something.
  10. Don't believe it but on the other hand it's not unusual to drop a digital track a few days before the album drops. But she just released two tracks a week before the album comes, so I doubt we'll get another track before the release
  11. the relation she has to Rocky does not change anything about the fact that the verse sounds thrown in The gays can't deal with REAL legends that are not out of their pop-repertoire so they moan about Sean while they hype Abel. The TNC snippet sounds fantastic!
  12. Summer Bummer works great since it's based on a rapper/singer collaboration. Groupie Love sounds more like one of the Kety Perry radio-edits featuring rappers in order to reach a broader audience. The rap bridge seems so thrown in.
  13. Well, my favourite one is Cherry but I already love that track either way. From the new ones it's In My Feelings (the chorus sounds great!) Tomorrow Never Came is extremely interesting aswell. It sounds like a classic.
  14. This sounds like it COULD be an iconic duet. Hope Stevie's parts don't ruin it or that it will be forgetable in the end
  15. A$AP Rocky actually made some pretty interesting statements but was mindlessly bashed for them. Just like Lana mostly stayed out of politics so far and the approach she seemingly takes in her songs is not really a straightforward "I speak my mind" kind of thing
  16. Pretty much feel the same. West Coast and SoC took a bit time to completely appeal to me and TLY was always nice but not spectacular for me but overall I actually always really liked them. Love and Coachella took some time for me to even somehow like and I still think they are sub-par. L4L is still my least-favourite LDR track ever (referring to official releases) and although SB and GL were better and easier to access, they still don't do as much as Lana songs usually do for me. But the snippets actually sounded pretty interesting, so I'll wait for how the album will turn out. Still don't think it will be her strongest and most memorable effort (en contraire actually) but it could include some really nice gems!
  17. He's a troll and probably an extremely full-of-himself, rude person aswell. So what. Ignore him and don't get upset about the stupid stuff he may write.
  18. I'm afraid the second half of the album will have the same problem HM had - all the tracks are beautiful but too similar to each other, so they feel like they just drag on. The Blackest Day, 24 and Swan Song in a row was just a bit to heavy in my opinion. All of them are beautiful but none of them really got to shine. Could see this happen to Heroin/Change/Get Free
  19. Didn't she ALWAYS hints that an EP with outtakes may be coming ever since UV but it never happens? I would definitly be here for a short EP including BAR and Yosemite, but I just don't think it will happen.
