the ending is so funny, "in case they say i never did anything, i did, i stood up here and i sang" hahaha i love her

I so agree. Though I love how this topic highlights the genius of Lana for choosing iconic song titles.  

Final pre-DYKTTATUOB ranking
 
NFR Ultraviolence Chemtrails AKA Honeymoon Born to Die Paradise Lust for Life Blue Banisters I feel weird ranking Chemtrails so high because I skip LMLYAW, Dance Till We Die, and For Free like 95% of the time and it’s only 11 tracks. I also recognize it’s not her strongest work overall, and I was actually disappointed in the album when it was released. However, I’ve been tracking my streams on last.fm for 5-6 years, and in only 2 years since COTCC’s release, it’s become my 3rd most listened to album, and it’s only like 20 streams behind NFR. And I’m still not really sick of it. It’s kinda of been my default go-to album for Lana over the past couple years. 
 
I also feel like Honeymoon should be higher because it’s such a strong, consistent, high quality body of work and the melodies are some of her strongest. But in reality, I just don’t listen to it that often, and usually when I do, it tends to slog for me a bit once we get to Salvatore/The Blackest Day/24/Swan Song/Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, and I don’t usually end up finishing.
 
By the way, AKA is a total unique, innovative gem and it makes me sad how underappreciated it is. To this day, I still haven’t heard anything that sounds even remotely close to it. It’s crazy impressive that she was able to make something so great, creative, and unique for her first official body of work. But then again, it still blows my mind how she progressed from Sirens to AKA in 2-4 years, and then Born to Die another 1-2 years later. The sheer amount of music she made in this period is insane too.
 
I feel like I could have like 3 different rankings of her albums and they’d all feel right for their own reasons. I guess that just goes to show how strong her discography is.

I just hope we get to hear at least the audio poems Jack has

This is a very nice rework of the demo. It does sound like a Honeymoon Outtake. I love the buildup at the end. Thanx for making this. 

Happy Christmas everybody! Upon the leak of Honeymoon outtakes California and Crazy for You, I decided to make a deluxe version adding those and I remembered one of the demos from "Beautiful People" has been said to have been meant for Honeymoon as well. But - I hate the drums lol, so I decided to rework the demo! I also tried fixing the vocals in the chorus, and I think it sounds very cute now. Enjoy!
Beautiful People (Honeymoon Version) [Moonchild Rework]

I love those. My favorite ones are :
Matar, matar
Paraíso oscuro
La otra mujer
Luna de miel
La última canción
Puta americana
 
It makes my imagination go wild trying to imagine songs with those title if Lana's songs didn't exist.
 
 
Just realised I fogot AKA, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blv. That's corrected now.

Omg you're so brave for that 
 

i wish i saved all the posts from over the years i shook my head over... oh well, last one for today:
 

Tbf lanaboards is not that different from Lana subreddit  y'all are hypocrites

Lana del Ray AKA Lizzy Grant: Lana del Ray también conocida como Lizzy Grant 

Ooooh interesting! Mine is Spanish so... (as this has been done several times, I just added the tracklists)
Lana Del Ray: A.K.A. Lizzy Grant - Lana Del Ray: También conocida como Lizzy Grant
Born to Die - Nacidos para morir
Paradise - Paraíso
Ultraviolence - Ultraviolencia
Honeymoon - Luna de miel
Lust for Life - Pasión por la vida
Norman Fucking Rockwell! - El puto Norman Rockwell!
Chemtrails over the Country Club - Estelas químicas sobre el club de campo
Blue Banisters - Barandillas azules
Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Sabías que hay un túnel debajo de Ocean Boulevard?
 

In honour of Ocean Blvd releasing next week, I decided to translate the songs on the tracklist to Serbian:
 
 Da li ste znali da postoji tunel ispod bulevara okeana
Grantovi Da li ste znali da postoji tunel ispod bulevara okeana Slatko Američka Kurva Judah Smith interludijum Ogrlica od slatkiša Jon Batiste interludijum Kintsugi Vrhovima prstiju Pariz, Teksas Deda, molim te, stani na ramena mog oca dok on peca u dubokom moru (my favourite translation by far) Pusti svetlost unutra Margaret Riblji rep Paprike Taco kamion x VB

There are multiple french translation but I tough I'de do my own take :
 
Lana Del Ray, alias Lizzy Grant
Nés pour mourir
Paradis
Ultraviolence
Lune de miel
Soif de vivre
Putain de Norman Rockwell!
Chemtrails au dessus du Country Club
Balustrades bleues
Saviez-vous qu'il y avait un tunnel en dessous d'Ocean Blvd
 
 
Some explanations for my choices :
 
Born to Die 
I would favor "nés pour mourir" from "naître pour mourir" because it comes from the sentence "We were born to die" which I think is a sentence that encapsulate the whole album about doomed relationships. 
 
Ultraviolence
Ultra and violence both exist in french and have the same meaning than in english. Plus Ultraviolence is most likely a reference to Clockwork Orange. I believe the word was kept as is in the french translations of the movie / book so I see no reason to change it here. Violencextrémiste is fun tough.
 
COCC
I believe Country Club is a cultural exception from the US. It seems that it's been imported in France, keeping the english name. There's even a french wikipedia page about Country Clubs. Same for Chemtrails, the concept was imported here with its english name and has it's own wikipedia page. Trainée blanche does work too if you believe that Lana didn't care about the conspiracy theory when choosing this word. She never mentioned it so it's hard to know if it was intentional.
 
I might be wrong on some of those things. 
What do you french gals and guys think about those choices ?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Born To Die > Ride > The Grants > White Dress > Cruel World > Honeymoon > NFR > Text Book > Love
 
I LOVE Text Book and doing rankings makes it seem like the tracks on the lower end are not that good when that’s not the case 

... True... So maybe they've changed it after Lana's last BBC interview? (Because I remember BBC's interview with Inhaler was short and pre-recorded as well, and I think it was pretty short when Summer Bummer premiered as well? But maybe I'm wrong, I don't even remember if that one was on BBC or not.)

Hey you guys,
 
Abel "The Weeknd" Tesfaye and Sam Levinson are co-creating The Idol, in which the singer will star as a self-help guru who develops a complicated relationship with an up-and-coming popstar played by Lily-Rose Depp.
 
 
Lily Rose's Character's is supposedly inspired by Britney Spears but I think it's definitely inspired by Lana as well.
 
The weeknd and Lana have always been vocal about Lana being the woman in Abel's work as well as Abel being the man in Lana's work.
We all know about the cult leader in Lana's past. She mentions him in songs likes Ultraviolence. 
What struck me the most was when Abel says "Trust no one" which is something Lana has tattooed on her skin. I don't think it's coincidental. I even wonder if it's something the cult leader told Lana before she got tattooed.
 
Even the Britney inspiration could come from Lana. After all Lana said Britney was an inspiration. I can definitely see some Britney in Lana's Born To Die era Lolita / baby doll / american dream aesthetic. 
 
So what you guys think about those connections ?
 
It's been reported that both creators have been meeting Britney Spears (and supposedly even giving her a part in the show).  Do you think that Lana is involved in the project or at the least have given approval for the inspiration ?
 
Lana has a close friendship and artistic relationship with Abel and has been approched by Levinson for a song on Euphoria. I don't see her not being involved in this project on some level. 
 
I posted this in Lana toughs so we can talk about everything Lana related in the show. Another topic might be created in the proper area to discuss other aspects of the show. 

I'm not a big fan of him and I didn't like his cover of West Coast but I still liked the fact that he made it and made the song his own. The tempo change is still there, just more subtle. 
I did surprisingly like his cover of Getting Older by Billie Eilish tough.

This seems to be the unpopular opinion, but I really love the cover. Perhaps I’m a bit biased because I am somewhat of an Adam Lambert fan, but he really is so talented. I saw him live a couple of years ago and his vocal ability is incredible. He’s also one of my best friend’s favourite artists, so I find myself listening to him quite a bit. I really liked how he took the song and made it his own - I appreciate it more than if it would have been a carbon copy with his vocals in place. I also think it’s so cool that the frontman of the current Queen spinoff band that features original band members is covering her song. It just shows how far her music can reach and inspire. Though nothing can top the original with all its uniqueness and wonderfulness, I think this is a great rock rendition of the song. I think some (mostly younger) fans are turned off by it because they don’t listen to this style of music, but I think covers like this are a great way to broaden your musical horizons. Plus, can you imagine if Lana did a rock album in this style?? I know I’d be eating it up x

We need this album in HQ.
But she'll probably get crucified for Put Me In A Movie
