  1. Nightmare Boy Online liked a post in a topic by Thunder Revenant in Ultraviolence in light of Lana's Breakup   
    Is This Happiness and Flipside seem to be about this topic ... ITH is kind of the story about two writing artists, who break up cause they don't get along anymore. Also, there are a lot of FS has this "maybe we'll try it later again" topic, which fits some of her statements  about the "currently not together".
     
    For the rest of the songs, I don't really think they are about the break-up-  they may mention one, but I don't think it's about the ending relationship with Barrie. I don't think EVERYTHING she does is completely autobiographic, in the end there could be things/feelings from her past as well as fictional stories she wants to tell.
     
    Black Beauty in general could be about Barrie, but since it was written when they were still together, I don't think it's about a break up - reason.

    I was on  a Gossip concert once and it was a really comfortable one cause the band was so funny and friendly, mainly because they acted natural. They are used to be on stage and seem to feel comfortable.
     
    Lana is , compared to them, a newbie and more nervous. Still she doesn't pretend anything in order to appear natural in a way she isn't. She is a little bit shy but still a really friendly person towards her fans. I'm not the biggest fan of the first-row-exclusive-things, but it's something she likes to do and ... well would be hard for her to geth through the whole audience, if you consider all those fans who seem to forget that there is something like a personal distance, even if you admire a singer and even if she acts nicely. Lana seems a little bit awkward sometimes, but that's something really relatable and not anything I would blame her for.

    I really wonder if you've ever seen any other performers, to make a comment like that. I've seen performers do all sorts of things to deal with their insecurities (which every performer has, and tries to mask in one way or another) - I've seen them get drunk and abuse the audience; I've seen them ignore the audience completely; I've seen them turn up the 'rock star' act to 100% in a tiny club where they looked ridiculous; I've had artists pull me up on stage so that I could dance around [note: I'm a not particularly good looking guy who clearly wasn't being brought up for the eye candy value], and distract everyone's attention from what was going on.
     
    Lana, in those times she's directly with her fans, seems so embarrassingly, ridiculously real that it almost hurts to watch her. If she acted any differently outside of shows, I'd wonder, but she's the same in every video I've ever seen of her meeting fans in the street, outside shows, at random encounters, and so on. She actually doesn't owe anybody anything in these meetings, but she has always seemed to me (as someone who's only seen videos) to be as genuine as is possible. If you want to experience a singer who introduces every song and sings every line to the back row, you can check out pretty much every other pop artist in the world at the moment. Lana is one of the very few singers around who is actually unpredictable and exciting enough to make watching videos worthwhile - you never know how she's going to sing something, or what she's going to do. Almost nothing is scripted, and the things that she repeats are so awkward and charming that she never looks like she's just crossing them off her list.
     
    The end of relationships in real life is almost never like it is in the movies - it's messy and ugly and heartbreaking, and it never makes any of the parties involved look good. Lana herself puts it beautifully in 'Cruel World' by singing 'I'm finally happy, now that you're gone', and sounding like she's about to break down.
     
    I find the easiest way of making sense of all of her contradictions and strange statements is to consider her a regular person, unschooled in how to act correctly, but trying to do the right thing. Sort of like the rest of us, when we're at our best.

    I'm not going to read too much into this, but I do hope that she'll release an EP like she did with Born to Die within the next few months or so. Plus, do y'all really think her record label will let her release a full length album so soon after Ultraviolence?

    Maybe a Joke. Maybe it will get scrapped. or maybe there will be an EP like it was with Paradise. The last case would be the greatest one tho ^^

    It's really rude of you guys to talk bad about Barrie yet you're glorifying relationships where her exes let her turn to drugs. Their relationship had to be great enough to talk about having kids and being married but for now that's not happening. Give Barrie the same respect you give Lana.
  14. Thunder Revenant liked a post in a topic by evilentity in Lana discusses the Guardian controversy, Frances Bean, & Barrie in Aftonbladet interview   
    Reminds me of her past comments that she just wants things to be easy and people to like her and be nice to her, she doesn't care why. 

    No, Lana, your own words and images-- your lyrics, videos, photoshoots, past interviews, and the answers you gave The Guardian-- give this impression, intentionally or not. 

    Have you listened to any of your music? Lana Del Rey, casual Lana fan. 

    Barrie

    okay well i think what she meant is they are on a break so they haven't broken up, just taking some time apart maybe
     
    also, barrie sounds exactly like my english teacher (and i sound exactly like him so basically laNa date me)

    The way he said 'it's not over' sort of corroborates what Lana implied in her interview; they're just on a break.
  17. Thunder Revenant liked a post in a topic by evilentity in Lana Del Rey on BBC1 with Fearne Cotton (interview)   
    Although I think she's probably talking about BTD, this is something that could easily be said about Paradise too (*cough cough* "Body Electric" *cough cough*), and she could be thinking of AKA as well. She's mentioned in several interviews that it didn't turn out quite the way she wanted and that David Kahne "was interested in a more traditional vocal style" than she was.

    I was obviously joking xD Still, the "you call me your mama" line would appear completely different by then

    Lana says she is currently not together with Barrie. And everyone in the forum freaks out because of every man that gets involved with her.
    Don't you think that she wouldn't just take the next man after breaking up with her longtime boyfriend? 
     
     
     
     
     
    Btw what she said about the break-up somehow fit the lyrics of "Is This Happiness" and "Flipside" ...

    i get that she was 16, but the suicidal 16th birthday party kind of discredits what she said to lana mentioning dying young is glamorizing death and making it seem 'cool' but having a suicide themed party isn't?

    Apart from this it's ridiculous for her to say something like this when she herself critisized lana and co for being "to involved in the world of the rich ones" and, because of this "not relevant for young listeners" and so on ....
     
    Yeah, being a snotty Grammy winner is so much better and so down to earth. Lorde really is a lot more athentic than all the other stars out there
