Thunder Revenant

I am not sure how to feel about my urge to have them xD Dark Paradise sounds cute as f*ck *_*

Even though I am not a big Cat Power fan, I have to agree on the point that Lana's lyrics aren't the deepest ones. She has good ones, but yeah, most of her songs lyrically turn out the same, although she is indeed good of "crafting" the lyrics to sound wonderful in the context of the song. This doesn't make these songs less relatable, but if I compare her to (more recent) songwriter artists like Marina or Florence, I have to admit that Lana is not THE source of innovative lyrics. Even songs that are said to be "personal" often come out sounding quite ... well, "what Lana does" like. That is nothing i dislike, but it's a fact. At least when it comes to everything she officially released. For example almost everything is about love and depending on a partner. Judging from the unreleased content, I would say that AKA is definitly more indie concerning sound AND lyrics (indie does not always mean big lyrics). May Jailer ... well, the songs really always tell a kind of story and have more content than most of her BTD and UV songs. There are other unreleased songs which are not that "song-writer"-y as the May Jailer era but somehow seem more complex, because they have lots of metaphors etc. (Last Girl On Earth). Still, Lana songwriter wise is definitly above the average level in my eyes.

These ones are actually songs I thought about putting on my list too (except maybe GAR)

I don't think she is a boring performer. but her sets are like almost always the same, or at least there is always a huge amount of songs which she will play everytime she performs (in the same arrangement) and then the rest will be chosen out of a pool of some songs she plays, which doesn't even contain everything she has officially released so far. Some shows were very good and diversie, like the one in Paris or Frankfurt. But others didn't had the best setlists, putting lots of very calm songs in a row like American, Without You and Ride . Would be more fun if there wasn't this "stiff" concept, since it's not like she would put on a big show like Gags. Not that I wanted her to do something like this, but if she focusses on the music and some backdrops, her shows could be way more diverse than they are.

Since the number of songs on her setlist tends to decrease and the fact that she obviously doesn't want to sing much of the new songs, I wait for the day where she starts with Cola, goes down the stage to greet the audience, goes up again and sings National Anthem, does another audience-dive and leaves

I know what you mean. I looove Money Power Glory, but everytime she sings a word, which ends with an "s", there is this small uncomfortable hissing, which I guess could have been "fixed" easily during the production.

Born To Die: Million Dollar Man or Without You ... can't decide. Paradise: What a question .. THE LANA SONG a.k.a. Pussy a.k.a. Cola Ultraviolence: I guess it's hard to say this now, because we don't know which songs may be future singles. So I will go with Florida Kilos, since it's most likely not going to be a single ... Otherwise i would be torn between Pretty When You Cry and Money Power Glory. Don't worry, I get what you mean. I am a huge Burning Desire fan, too, relating it to a "special person" for some reason.

I guess some of the songs which are on UV now, were pre-Auerbach outtakes, and outakes from the Auerbach version were included on the pre-Auerbach UV. Is This Happiness, Guns And Roses and Old Money sound like very good examples for the "first" UV, much more Paradise-like in comparence to the other tracks. Apart from this the WC Radio Mix (which is beutiful as well).

Off To The Races - Riker's Island Queen / Scarlet Starlet Without You - China Doll (i think it was used when she sang it live before BtD was released) Cola - Pussy (is this even "different"? I mean, everone uses it ) Yayo - Nevada Bel Air - Roses Kill Kill - Deadly Love Pawn Shop Blues - Cosmic Love Little Girls - Put Me In A Movie (like Without You and Cola, this title is not uncommon) Curel World - Bourbon Blues Shades Of Cool - Unbreakable Guns And Roses - Heavy Metal Love Is This Happiness - Cheap Thrills Flipside - Breakup Song Is It Wrong- Band Bicycle She's Not Me - The Ghost In Your Machine Heavy Hitter- Butterflie Doors Us Against The World - Queen Of New York TV In Black & White - Prisonic Fairytale The Man I Love - Chandeliers And Seizures / Americana My Best Days - Without You Fordham Road - Stone Mary / Walk Away

I am sure Lana loves her fans (I mean, as much as you can love strangers). However, some things she does send different signals, like cancelling performances last minute or constantly talking about how nobody likes her instead of really talking about her fans. Still, the attitude she shows towards them if she meets them at shows is really sweet and wonderful, unlike those b*tches Ariana Grande or Avril Lavigne.

It's basically higher ebcause the video is pitched in order not to have copyright problems. But I think you are right, even the unpitched version is way higher than the final one.

So .. if you are not a celebrity, you automatically have a boring hairstyle, gain weight and wear terrible clothing. Interesting. Still a nice picture.

beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Some say Heidi Klum is the most beautiful woman on earth.

[even though this video is pitched as hell]

As if this would have been hard to predict

Even though I'd love to hear that, too, I somehow have the feeling this is one of the songs she'll never perform.

but if you are always sick when there is a test, that won't increase your credibility. Espesially if you are seen at a party on the same evening. srsly there's nothing wrong with cancelling a performance because you are sick. But if you cancel multiple times and always "last minute" and then everyone can see pictures of you running around and having fun, this is a punch into the face of her fans.

You could think she really WANTS to provoke a backlash again ... I can already imagine the interwievs where she says how terrible this boycott made her feel and how she doesn't understand these kind of reactions and how nobody likes her I don't know what medical issues she might have, I am the last person that would not understand her cancelling because she's ill. BUT it becomes very suspicious that this cancelling happened to almost all shows in the last months and always "last minute". And then you see her having a good time in paris ... I don't care if she cares about her sales but she is letting all of her fans who are excited for the shows down and this really disappoints me. I think Virgin is right when they say her behaviour lacks respect for her fans. Even though removing her from their playlist is equally unfair for the Lana-lovers.

It's not about promo. i don't care if she promotes her album and how her chart positioning is. I have the album and can appreciate it. But I want to see good live performances of more than just two or three songs that she actualyl willed to learn the lyrics to ... The same with the music videos. I can appreciate simple videos, but .. lazy stays lazy and flat, no matter how much I delude myself.

Nothing wrong with that but at the same time it's not a must-have for me. If she did it, I am sure it would be a classy shoot. If she won't, then I am not sad about it either. However, we have the GQ shoot which is gr8 & sexy and i think it's much more interesting to "hint" something than to completely put it into the spotlight.

I guess the "annoyed" pictures are more likely because there are guys following them and taking photos while they eat/flirt/walk all the time and not because she is not happy.

Playlist will be Cola, Bue Jeans, West Coast, Born To Die, Ultraviolence and Video Games.

If you were an album, everyone would hate you for being repetitive as f*ck

Funny that "I guess that no one ever really made me feel I'm a child" is wrong as well ...

I still listen a lot to the album. I think when you compare it to the months after the BtD release, it's quite equal in both "full album" and "single tracks" listening.
