Fuck me hard before you go... summertime sadness. It's only apt!

That reminds me of this Lucky Ones lyric video, that idk is still up or not, that got 30% of the lyrics wrong, and in one place says "you're a careless cunt and you're a crazy liar" 

blows my mind that it was even released as a single and not treated like the boring filler track it was destined to be 

we’re in it together but don’t call me a taxi

idk why but Ariana and Miley seem like the crazy best friends and Lana seems like the awkward cousin that was invited to the party.......

they really made a ringtone from 2006 into a song huh

great thread that will take some time to do justice to.
 
A few out of 100s of greatest moments-
 
Realizing Lana is doing just about every female vocal and sound, on every song (lead and background) and that most grunts, sighs, sneers, hisses breathe is Lana's voice.
(there are no background singers it is all her.) It is like how in 1973 at first I thought it was a kazoo and it took a while until we saw him sing it in concert to realize that it was actually Elton singing
the la-la-la's in Crocodile Rock... 
 
Moments where the only way to describe it would be to put down the exact time in the song it is mentioned. (hard to describe, but in Born to Die there is that something or other for a split second)
 
The incredible feeling (literally bought chills and tears) the first time heard both Old Money and Once upon a Dream (from the first note to the last and both on repeat for days)
and then two weeks ago sitting in a hotel room in Quebec City and hearing Salvatore the first time.
 
Shades of cool/ west coast/Brooklyn baby back to back
 
Ride/American (the bridge in both songs is amazing, mentioned the exhilaration of "Everybody wants to go fast..." in a different thread
 
The monologues of Ride and Burnt Norton and all the other spoken parts of songs (Please release a poetry audio tape, or perhaps an audio affirmation type tape to have while I do my swimming
exercises)
 
The stark simple Pawn Shop Blues which recently repeated many times as I was emptying our mother-in-law's house and having estate sales (especially when a stranger took her favorite huge painting no one in the family had room to hang, and walked out of the house, leaving the wall and the home bare
 
 
Not realizing when just the song was released that the beginning of High by the beach was a helicopter. (please be nominated for video of the year at the Grammy's)
 
God there are hundreds and hundreds of examples, especially with the pre-Lana songs...It is really hard to break it down to the best of 10 best or even the 100 best.
 
will get back to this thread at another time

I think it's time to list my favorite musical parts of Mr. Norman
 
The very last "You make me blue" from the title track is, without a doubt, one of the most emotive moments, at least vocally, in her discography. Similar, in emotional heaviness, to the final chorus of Shades of Cool.
 
Of course the entirety of Venice Bitch is, perhaps, the best LDR Musical Moment ever, but in my ears there is something about the 7-to-8 minute section that is so beautiful, when the saxophone has its moment to shine and lazily yet dreamily plays the "Back in the garden..." melody. One of my favorite things about this song and its length is that every instrument has its specific solo part.
 
The outro of Mariners Apartment Complex absolutely captures the care-taking core of the track. It's so calming and comforting.
 
I would like to highlight two specific parts from Love Song -- the "Grab my waist / Don't waste any part" line accompanied by the reverb that it's added on the word "part". It was, for me, unexpected, romantic and evokes the uncertainty of the song. Also, the spoken "Is it safe to just be who we are?" line is so powerful.
 
When the guitar is growing stronger during the pre-chorus of Happiness Is A Butterfly and then dissolves.
 
And finally, my favorite part of the entire record is when the instruments are gone and she sings those last 7 lines from The Greatest.

aw look...a sagittarius, a cancer, and a "cancer"

just out of interest, how would you guys feel if she did a different setlist for each leg of the tour?? would you be glad she's mixing it up or peeved cause one leg may have had a better setlist than yours?? 

omg exactly like.... what else are they here for sis i'm sure she could say "jump" and they'd say "palm trees in black and white" "how high"

Holy Terrain is okay, but it doesn't feel sorta.... exclusively Twigs??? If that makes sense
 
Still like it tho!!

It'll be sick to hear PWYC, Cherry and Shades of Cool live (SoC especially!!) since I never have before but this makes me very very nervous that she's not gonna switch up the setlist much     
 
imagine having a discography as deep, exciting, varied and - above all - BELOVED as Lana's yet sticking to the same like 15 songs in every show lmao

if NFR is a fall album, WHF has to be its summer counterpart! lots of rock and roll but blended with intense, echoing, steamy sounds akin to HM (i.e.: Freak, Salvatore) and a consistent atmosphere throughout ugh gimme a sexy summertime album pls lana

though for different reasons i relate to the song so much too!! sending you lots of love, i'm so deeply sorry for the situation you're in right now. every time i see your profile on here i'll send a little love into the atmosphere for you and hope it reaches you <3

oh you think so?? i feel a lil bit of summer vibes from NFR, but i mostly feel like it's kind of a september album if that makes sense?? like the transition from summer to fall

I think I relate to Hope more and more every time I listen to it. I loved it when it first came out, but I overdid it (like all Lana songs when they come out) and I haven’t listened much since the spring. I decided to give it a listen yesterday and it’s been on repeat for me since. I’m not sure how much personal stories are allowed here, so I’ll keep it brief but this song means so much to me. I’m a closeted lesbian and my family is v homophobic. They pushed me to marry a man, even tho I am not out to them or really anyone, I feel like they know and so now I’m married to man which isn’t what I want, but I do have hope that one day things will be better. Obviously not what Lana was referring to, but I feel on some level I understand what she means about having hope even tho it’s a dangerous thing.

I feel this!! Some songs border on painful to listen to on higher volumes, as if in the track itself all instruments / layers are being played at exactly the same volume so the entire track comes out very loud and almost scratchy sounding. Idk if that makes sense.
 
still love the album tho
