Why are you so sure she had a fling with Soileau? I think Lana and Barrie are now more public with their relationship because they've gotten closer. She's spending a lot more time in Britain than she used to. She used to always be in New York and travel to London a lot but now she's almost always in London. Also, maybe she had to finish her Born to Die era before getting serious with Barrie since Born to Die is all about other men she used to love so much.

From what I've heard in Lana's songs, she calls her boyfriend/lover her daddy and her biological father her father. Now, I always thought that calling your dad "father" is a bit cold and distant. I do that too, as does my father with his parents and we all don't have that good of a relationship. I guess, she's just innocently thanking for everything he has given and taught her (nothing sexual). I also think it's very possible she resents him at least a little since he sent her to boarding school when she was only 14/15. I'm sure she didn't want to leave home and her friends and he just sends her away, that seems cold to me. I always found it weird to send your child away if it has any problems, I'd think you'd want to be with your child and help them get through it and not leave it up to strange teachers at a boarding school (it didn't help Lizzy anyway). Maybe they've always had a strained relationship and she feels like she needs a "daddy" who will love her and care for her because she feels like her own father didn't.

How do we know Soileau and Black were in a relationship when he was hired? He always said he was single up until April of this year so "I know your wife and she wouldn't mind" wouldn't really make sense. And from the little I know about Black, I'm 100% sure she'd mind. I think Lana's either talking about another man or that line has no meaning at all. I also think it's possible she's talking about a man from her past since she's been with Barrie since August 2011 (Source) and she would've been cheating on him. On the other hand, if she did cheat on him it could make sense to mention it in this song since she's said it's inspired by him...

I think she rather contradicts herself in Cola. She's singing about Barrie who says her pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola and says she likes men who are older while Barrie's younger than her.

Liking older men as a 27-year old than liking old men as a child. And the boyfriends we know of weren't that much older than her. Nothing weird.

Ride 3.5/5 I never really liked Ride when it first came out but it's actually very nice. It's so personal and just sounds beautiful. I love that Lana sings so slowly in this song, she seems a bit rushed in a few other songs. The instrumental is beautiful, I like the lyrics and the whispering's nice too. And the video... American 2/5 All right, I really don't get why everyone likes American so much. It's better than the snippet but...i don't think it's that special. It does sound nice but...I just don't like it that much. Also, in parts of it she really sounds like Taylor Swift and that just doesn't fit. The lyrics really aren't anything creative, in my opinion. Cola 1/5 Ok, everyone was saying how absolutely fucking amazing this song is and just...no. I don't like it. The "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" gets really repetitive. The lyrics are...I feel like she just wrote them because they're "beautiful" and help her image as the badass All-American girl. Body Electric 2.5/5 I'm not sure about Body Electric. I don't like that she sings the lyrics down so quickly. When she stretched the words live, the song was haunting. The instrumental also isn't as good as the live version. I kinda like it but I will probably listen to the live versions, those sound beautiful. The lyrics...she says "Body Electric" 25 times. I know Lana likes to repeat phrases but that's way too much. That thump in the end sounds like Lana had just been decapitated. Blue Velvet 0/5 Oh holy lord, why did I have to listen to that song again? It's boring and It makes me sleepy. She didn't write it so I'm not going to say anything about the lyrics. Gods & Monsters 5/5 Fuck yeah, give it to me, this is heaven what I truly want...Gods & Monsters is my favourite from the Paradise Edition. It's beautiful. I love the instrumental and I love the way she sings the lyrics. The lyrics aren't boring neither are they too repetitive. The chorus is a beauty. Yayo 5/5 Yayo has always been a beauty and I love what they've done to it. I was afraid they would ruin it but I think it's beautiful. I think it's lovely to hear Lana sing a Lizzy song. It's just so different, it's very Lizzy but also very Lana, it's something completely different. I also like that it's so jazzy. Jazz is good. Bel Air 1.5/5 Bel Air was a major disappointment. When I first heard the snippet in the teaser trailer, I thought it sounded beautiful and I thought it would become my favourite from the Paradise Edition. It does sound beautiful but...I'm not sure how to say it. It has this one sound (the piano, her breathy voice and the children) and that's the song. It just sounds the same the entire time and that's so boring to me. Burning Desire 1/5 Lana, I get it. You're horny as fuck. You don't have to moan into my ears for another 3 minutes and 51 seconds to tell me that. The lyrics are nothing special, neither is the instrumental. If you want to get your girl or guy horny, sure, you can sing this to them but it's not a particularly good song. It's also way too repetitive Paradise EP 21.5/45 Ok, this wasn't that detailed but you get the idea. Ride, Gods & Monsters and Yayo are probably going to be the only song I won't skip if they come on on Shuffle. I'm pretty disappointed by the Paradise Edition but at least I got three new songs I like.

Yes, that's the one. I have it and it's not hard to get here at all.

Black and Soileau got married in April and in every single interview before that, he said he was single. I always thought that was weird.

It arrived this morning Really disappointed of the packaging of the Remixes and DVDs though...

It's from TK Maxx.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this as part of a fanmade album cover set.

You're not alone. I want to sue them

Nothing more gorgeous than a Hundred Dollar Bill...

Do you mean the Summertime Sadness Remix Vinyl?

I actually like Kirsten but I hated watching Melancholia. Everything was happening so excruciatingly slow.

Didn't she say she started making music when she was 18, moved to NYC and started performing?

Food :love:

Well, the Born to Die songs are on the Paradise Edition.

Portugal

I'm really not into movies but Donnie Darko is one of my absolute favourites

What does that have to do with it?

Billy + iloveguineapigs

I discovered it a few months ago and it sounds like heaven...
