I definitely think songs like Shades of Cool, Is This Happiness, Fine China, etc. was about Barrie as well (especially considering they were all written during the same month). It’s not a stretch to think that they hit some rough spots behind the scenes in 2013 (pre-UV) before they officially ended things. Fine China is most likely about their failed engagement and Is This Happiness/Shades of Cool seem like a reference to Barrie’s depression like Black Beauty.
 
Just some thoughts I had about some of the lines in those tracks:
 
“You’re a hard man to love and I’m a hard woman to keep track of.”
 
‘She couldn’t say it to my face. And my plan to go back with her was dead.’
- Barrie talking about how Lana left him in London and broke up with him shortly afterwards.
 
I remember someone asking Woodkid about why he hasn’t worked with Lana since BTD and he basically said she stopped responding to his texts/emails. Maybe she’s just the type of person to leave things at a standstill when she doesn’t know how to deal with it. She’s said before that she’s quite nomadic in nature, never in the same place all the time. This might explain why she labeled herself as someone hard to keep track of since she may not have been physically/emotionally available 24/7.
 
“You like to rage, don’t do that”
- Is This Happiness
 
According to the posts above, Barrie drank a lot so I don’t think it would be too far fetched to say that this line references him in his intoxicated state. I feel like the bit about alcohol in the demo version of Beautiful People might be referencing these episodes too.
 
Another interesting note between this bit from Barrie’s interview and the Beautiful People demo.
 
“When you go out with someone who has a bit of a profile, it’s hard to not let things affect you. She’d phone me upset about something that had been written about her — that happened a lot in the beginning.”
 
“You get so mad when I complain
You think I'm crazy but
I hear them talk they say my name
They're fucking tired of”
 
From newer songs,
Architecture is a given and maybe the final version of Beautiful People?
 
The color blue has become kind of synonymous with their relationship in my opinion.
“My baby lives in shades of blue”
“Darling you can’t let everything seem so dark blue”
“All of my fine china, blue”
 
So when I heard the ‘blue is the color of the shirt of the man I love’ and the following lines, I immediately thought of Barrie.
 
This is just pure speculation on my end and I feel kind of bad talking about it because it’s really none of my business but considering how much her personal life is tied into her music and how much we know, it’s inevitable.

What a nice couple Lana and Jack would make. The way they both look at each other during Hope. 

I guess that if she did Hope and was going to do HTD with Jack, those will probably the songs for the Grammy Museum performance. Maybe those two and the title track

How's this for a paranoid conspiracy theory?

it says "ah he's in the sky" in the lyrics booklet but IMO you can clearly hear the R and the V of Harvey...

Philadelphia please. I wanna see her again.

I don't wanna know who VB is about cuz i dont wanna associate it with any of the losers Lana's been vibing with lately

so this changes the song in relation to who it’s about. it goes with Honeymoon (track) with “Mr Born To Lose” and California, “scared to win, scared to lose” which means it’s Barrie for sure i think. he’s the Norman fucking Rockwell who was obsessed with making the best american record. fuckkkkkk

i like it a lot now even more so knowing the actual words. it keeps it consistent and cohesive

If Ultraviolence didn't come right before Honeymoon, I would have loved that. For me, Honeymoon and Ultraviolence are one word titled, Ying/Yang type of records

What a masterpiece you are
Truly Lana's best album
If it was released in 2019 it would get 100 metascore period

'White Hot Forever,' if taken literally, certainly doesn't describe the sound of NFR. Since I'm a general non-fan of NFR, another 'similar' album is the last thing I want. 

i’m not sure about her naming UV Black Beauty or LFL BAR, i’ve never heard that.
 

 
here’s the date of that post made

Wasn’t AKA originally supposed to be “Nevada” though before they had to incorporate the name change into the title? Or was that just made up later on by fans?

i didn’t think anyone thought VB or MAC wouldn’t be on the album??? they were the first singles which she even said when VB came out that they’d be included on the album, which she revealed the album title during the premier of VB.... there was no reason to expect those to not be on it aside from a time gap.  
no she isn’t a conventional artist but that doesn’t mean she can’t do conventional things. she’s talked about doing stand-alones and short ep’s before, plenty of times, just never did it.

post date July 2011, when the album released Jan 2012

Hoping for a large bombastic sound... can only hope

i dont know where everyone gets the BTD was gonna be called GBA since AKA was also gonna be called GBA in its early phases

What is Talking Like an answering machine..??? I've never heard of that. Did it leak before?
 
Also.. HBB and IMBSFSH deserve a place in some album. I would love for a country jazz album from Lana.
She was gonna call BTD as GBA. source pls?
Also for LFL...

Ultraviolence was first called Black Beauty...I didn't know that. I believe you but is there any proof?

if California is any indication of what that side project with Zach Dawes sounds like i think we need it now

as much as i would love to hear her sing without backtrack, this would be a literal nightmare

If Lana would make songs like this on WHF   ...... a stan can dream even it is a dangerous thing for stans like us to have - but we have it anyways (let the clownery begin mp3. White hot forever version + Jack speaking bullsh*t at the end of the song edition)
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 

(btw does anybody know what song this is)

Dear Darlings,
 
It's Been 5 Years.
It's been 5 years since I've been on Lana Boards last. Where has the time gone? I've been running through old posts and grateful that I had this community during my college years.
 
Help!
I've come back in need your help with what seems like mission impossible... I need this poster from October 6th Show at the Greek Theatre (the one Lana Del Rey posted on Instagram with the rose).
 
No Luck.
So far, I've contacted the Greek Theatre, asking them to connect me to their promotions team. No luck! The referred me to Lana Del Rey's merch website... We all know this is a limited edition poster.
 
Can anyone help?
 
Love,
Christina

Definitely do not have the will to read through the entire list but wow what a task. I absolutely love The Greatest my second favourite from NFR! behind Venice Bitch and I think the first verse are my favourite lana lyrics. But it seems quite hyperbolic to include it in this list considering it's, what, 1 month old - especially when Ride has existed for 7 years.

Okay list is absolute pretentious garbage

honestly, i really hate how noticeably rude she's becoming. i've always admired lana because she's so sweet with her fans, but making a huge deal about her vape being missing is minor, being late is ugly too. her vocals have dwindled and she's just WAY too comfortable in humming and letting the audience sing, bar these last couple of shows. if she doesn't want to tour, why not pull a kate bush or something and only perform every so often instead of giving a vibe that you really couldn't give a fuck?
