just another example of lana making music just for the sake of making music and art instead of just doing what's mainstream and what will "sell"  a true artist

Thanx! Thanx for collecting and posting the audio tracks! It is as though the louder tracks lack texture . . . not a treat to the ears as much as Candy Necklace for its variety of ups and downs . .  . Appreciate this kind of discussion. I have one ongoing with a musician friend who is high up in tech understanding. There aren't many musicians I would bother to make a case for a quieter production around their vocals, because I do not listen to the pop girlies, and I wear hearing protection whenever I go out, and quit gyms to protect my ears! It isn't for me to say their offerings . . .  because to each his own . . . Here is a little live fan cam of Ann Wilson which the image is out of focus, but for once the band around her dials back to allow the star, Ann's voice, to mine the gorgeousness out of Simon Garfunkel's folk song, American Tune, which melody I recognized from a documentary about Haydn's Emperor Quartet came from Serbian folk song! The piano is too loud, but because it is only the piano which is competition to Ann's voice and louder and softer in parts, finally you could hear the artistry, the inflections.
 

I just want to put my 2 cents in about the quietness/muffled sound of the album. This is because Lana has gradually stopped competing in what’s called “the loudness war” in music, which is where pop music is made to be as loud as possible without distorting. This is great for streaming and shopping mall speakers and stuff because any song from any musician can play in sequence and it will all be at the same volume. Here you can see the waveforms of Born To Die, Norman, Candy Necklace and Say So by Doja Cat. See how Say So is just a solid bar of black? If Candy Necklace wanted to explode into a loud outro, it could, but Say So is entirely a loud explosion and can’t go anywhere else. It also means that in the context of an album, if Lana wants one song to get louder than all the rest as part of the emotional trajectory of the album (Grandfather), she is able to do that. In comparison to any given pop music right now, Lana’s will sound quiet and muffled because it hasn’t had the Father, the Son AND the Holy Spirit compressed and EQ’d out of it  
 

why do people think music is just her hobby  does lana have another full time job that i’m unaware of?? her main source of income is making music and selling it. and it’s her JOB. her music was her hobby back when she was singing in bars for free while working as a waitress. her writing was a hobby when she was 12 writing poetry about autumn days and singing in choirs. 
people really love to undermine her artistry, fans or not. it’s really sad because she’s a genius and one of the best writers of our time and yet again people think she’s only doing this for her fans or for the public. was she doing all this for the public when she quite literally had no fans and was recording music in studios for which she had to pay? was she slaving away for the fans when she had no fans and was a nobody? damn right she wasn’t, she’s always done it for herself, we just happen to listen to it and like it

wtf are you talking about? she's a singer, music is her job, it takes work for artists to write music, record vocals, work with producers to get the exact sound they want, and decide what gets released, she also does the occasional photoshoot or interview, also, not to mention the fact that it can take hours, days, or even months just to do one song, she shouldn't have to do anything she doesn't want to do, her job can be difficult, being famous isn't easy, but even if her job was easy or more like a hobby, she still doesn't owe anybody anything 

she just released a great album. what more do you want? as far as i'm concerned that's enough. artists shouldn't have to continue to do a bunch of silly things following an album release to keep our attention. she did her part. either enjoy the album or pick up some new hobbies to occupy yourself with.

the way some people cannot wrap their head around the fact that their favorite artist is not a circus animal designed to dance and perform for them 24/7 to "keep them entertained" is truly something
 
i am so glad she does not listen to her "fans". some of them are truly her biggest enemies truly.

huh i missed that part of the interlude.... wait no i didn't bc that's not apart of it. who he is outside of that interlude is completely irrelevant to the album. plus i don't see people throwing fits over the problematic behaviours and opinions of some of the people lana's featured on her albums in the past.

Great reaction video
 
 

omg I love this cover so much it's incredible AND one of the greatest music moments ever is her performance with Adam Cohen SPECIFICALLY  at 3:15. Just the way she sings "I can't keep track of each fallen robin" Has ALWAYS given me chills.

“A&W” has now officially surpassed 50 MILLION streams on Spotify.  It's Lana’s fastest solo song to achieve this milestone.

trash magic 🌴

I loooove this type of analysis videos

So for this I recommend you this site - https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/search.php?search_type=title&value=Lana Del Rey 
You can find a lot of Lana's songs there. The more popular chords are, then the more easy they are. 
I recommend you start with this song  https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/lana-del-rey/west-coast-chords-1476802 
and
https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/lana-del-rey/brooklyn-baby-chords-1492651 they were the easiest for me to learn at the beginning. But you will find more on this site. 
If you click on any chord you have instruction how to exactly put your fingers on the strings. 
Remember that for some songs you will need capo. You can see that on West Coast one at the beginning it says 'Capo 2", which means you have to use this device on the neck of the guitar to raise the pitch. 

Damnnn @jaesana that's amazing.

weren’t we all mad at the possibility (before boz told us that info) that the sped-up “coquette” version was going to be released? why are we suddenly against getting a NEWLY FINISHED version

i love how wrong your opinions always are. you said ocean blvd would sell worse than cocc and then it sold like 120k or something and is still gaining millions of steams per day. girl.... 

I'm sorry but that instrumental sounds cheaper than my edits
 
If you're going to fake something at least put some effort 

It’s just me looking for Lana Del Rey ASMR every night

I can definitely see it being a mood thing. This album is very emotionally heavy and slow for the majority of it. I also think this one of those albums where the songs are stronger together as one album than listened to individually. I’ve found myself listening to the album a lot, but mostly only going from start to finish. There are a good chunk of songs that aren’t usually my favorite style to listen to on their own, but I love them in the context of the album.
 
I also think that because it’s a more experimental and nuanced album, it’s less accessible, which means it’s probably not going to be as replayable or as easy/quick to listen to as a lot of her other music. If you’re not in the mood for it, it’s an hour and 18 minutes of heavy emotions and of pretty much the same dark, slow mood until the last 3 tracks or maybe until grandfather or LTLI.
 
This is kinda the same reason I can’t listen to the entirety of UV or HM a lot. I think they’re both masterpieces in their own way, but digesting them as a whole is a LOT. I need to be in a certain mood for them.

Hello All. 
I hope you are all doing well. 
The past month has been a trainwreck , I started to get into the A.I covers because many people in this community wanted to listen to their favorite songs but with Lana's Vocals, just like myself. I got into fights with people on this forum and on YouTube and let me tell you it was exhausting . I do not have to answer to anybody who does not enjoy what I do. Many people really appreciated my efforts . IF you enjoy something ENJOY IT . IF you don't like something then WALK,AWAY. Simple as that. Continuous  reports from sad people who hide their traumas  behind a keyboard managed to get my Youtube account blocked and all my videos are now deleted . I do not have any words for this . Just sad. Other fanbases are really positive and enjoy this new trend . I do not understand why our fanbase has to act like that .
 
Mods if you please close this thread , 
I would really appreciate it .
 
And to people who actually enjoyed the ride , I am glad .
To people who decided to be ***holes  and reported my videos DAILY for a MONTH, life will treat you accordingly so I don't hold any grudges.
Bye.
