My goal is to have both box sets and all of the singles in vinyl and CD form (if possible - some only some in one or the other) as well as the different physical copies of each album (i.e. the standard, deluxe, etc. of each in vinyl and CD format). But I think I'm going to take a break with what I have for now because I'm starting to go broke. But collecting her stuff is so addicting.

Awesome! I feel a lot better now though I probably should have asked first if I was that worried lol. But anyways, thank you so much for all of your help on this thread, I really appreciate it! One more question (for anyone), do you guys think we'll get a 7" picture disc for West Coast or would it have been out already if she were going to do one since the single has been out for months now? I saw a fanmade picture for one the other day and I want it to be a real thing so badly.

Well its not on the internet anymore since I bought it or I'd send a link but its identical to the one under CD Promo Single in Slimcase (Germany) that is listed in the OPs of this thread.

That's so true! I didn't even think about doing that haha. Is it worth it if they are legit? Because now I feel dumb for buying a real (I hope) Summertime Sadness one from a different person but its too late now.

Thank you! I figured if it was real it would have already been listed here but I wanted to make sure. Too bad, its pretty but not worth the money if its fake.

Does anyone know if this is legit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LANA-DEL-REY-OFF-TO-THE-RACES-CD-SINGLE-SLIM-JEWEL-CASE-PROMO-RARE-BORN-TO-DIE-/161369773698?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2592635682 I know OTTR is officially a single but this guide doesn't have it listed. I don't know if this is something homemade or if its really a rare promo single CD. There is another one like it for Burning Desire and Young and Beautiful as well.

I think this is pretty much exactly why it still ended up on the album despite being leaked. So I'm pretty hopeful and actually kinf of optomistic that we will get a video eventually, it just might be a while as she'll probably do actual album songs first. I'm sure it'll be amazing since she is so intent on it!

So I really want to go to this but I have some questions as I've never been to Music Midtown. When is the best time to get there if I want to be at the front of her stage? Will they let me bring something in for her to sign? Do they have food/beverages for sale inside so I don't die waiting hours in front of her stage? Do you guys think she'll come down into the crowd during the show/stay after the show like she does at her own concerts? Sorry for all the questions!

I really want Brooklyn Baby because its such a great upbeat song and I think would have a cute video but at the same time I'm so darn curious about her idea for Black Beauty. She said in an interview like a year ago that she already had an idea for the video before the song was even leaked and I want to see it because it'll probably be amazing.

I absolutely hated everything on Paradise except Ride for the first year and a half that it was out. Only very recently have I began to really appreciate all of the other songs, and now I would definitely say that Paradise is my favorite album/EP from Lana. Oddly enough, Cola, Gods and Monsters, and (especially) Body Electric were songs I absolutely hated but are now my favorite ones on there, while now I think Ride (which I previously loved) is overrated and cliche. I did and still do hate American though, haha. And I always prefer the AKA version of Yayo but its still an amazing song. I wish I had appreciated Paradise more when I saw her in concert because I would have enjoyed it more since she sang so much off of it. Some other ones: Raise Me Up Daytona Meth (and really any of the lower-quality songs) Hundred Dollar Bill (to be fair, I only just realized I had the demo the entire time and that the finished one existed) Shades of Cool Pretty When You Cry

He looks surprisingly clean in this picture. ( ) I'm looking forward to his new album! I love his voice and I think he has so much potential.

I think she annoyingly uses the word "crazy" enough to be of note. American - "You make me crazy, you make me wild" Back to the Basics - "Crazy and shameless in love" Backfire - "My man's crazy" Because of You - "But it can all get a little crazy" Body Electric - "We get crazy every Friday night" Cola - "Harvey's/Ah he's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy" Cruel World - "I'm crazy", "You're fucking crazy/Crazy for me" Flipside - "I'm gonna have to say you're crazy" Gramma - "Don't cry honey, crazy girl" Is This Happiness - "I think you're fucking crazy as the day is long" Lucky Ones - "You're a careless con and you're a crazy liar" Million Dollar Man - "If you're going crazy, then grab me and take me" Noir - "Dangerous but I'm crazy" Off to the Races - "Because I'm crazy, baby" On Our Way - "You're making me crazy" Paradise - "Tie you up and make you crazy" Prom Song - "I'm not crazy" Ride - "I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy" Television Heaven - "Come on inside oh you crazy child look at you" West Coast - "He's crazy and cubano" Young and Beautiful - "Crazy days/city lights" I don't even know if that's close to all of them.

American ties with DP and Lolita for her worst released songs imo. It is just dumb lyrically and its the only song on Paradise that I just won't listen to (minus Yayo but that's only because I prefer the AKA version).

Oh I forgot - I would add Hundred Dollar Bill to LDR AKA LG. I'm always surprised when I remember that its not on there - it definitely belongs in every way.

Ooh I am West Coast and that was actually in my top 3 from UV. I think Flipside would be another good one for us.

Do any of you guys know the chords for this intro bit? I've looked around and can only find the ones for the actual intro in the album version of the song. I'm just barely not skilled enough to pick it out by ear.

"I wear my red lipstick, grab my coat and gun Wonder if this is it, it's darkest before dawn Sometimes I wanna give in but I just have to go on Miss American now I'm gone, baby, gone Used to talk about where we'd be and where we'd go Now we know, baby now we know" "What's happening? Where did we go? The Jersey shore was long ago" (She should have kept the "what's happening" in OM because it gives [at least for me] a different and more sad feeling) "There's nowhere on this earth that I'd rather be Than in your bedroom breathing heavily" "Jim raised me up He hurt me but it felt like true love Jim taught me that Loving him was never enough" (So heartbreaking) "Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind" "You should never come between a woman and her dream and a man who never knew his place" All of Born to Die, PSB, OTTR, VG, AFFA, etc. And finally (though I could be biased because this is my favorite lyric from my favorite song by my favorite artist) "Hello heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights on a dark night"

I watched it again and its not quite as bad as the first time. I like the way some of the clips fit into the music. I feel anxious during the second verse because I keep expecting something to happen and nothing does. One thing that really bothers me still is how out of place the video seems. All of the album teasers and the two videos we already had were very beachy-themed with palm trees, black and white images, old men, cigarettes, etc. I felt like the aesthetic theme with the album was very clear but this video kind of went against all that. I guess we can't just keep getting more of the same but unity is what was such a big improvement on this album versus previous eras so I don't know. I feel like I'm complaining too much. I really wanted to love this.

I'm pretty disappointed. :/ I kept watching to see if it would go anywhere and it never really did. I feel really underwhelmed. The best part was the end when she walks into the church thing since I guess it reveals that she was left or the man in question died or something along those lines so at least there was a snippet of story to it. The missed potential is killing me since this could have been so great. She WAS very pretty in it though so there's that.

Oh my god I finally found the full version of Television Heaven and its destroying me completely. The chorus is probably my favorite of Lana's ever - I love the lyrics and the production and how its different form the versus and ugh. I'll have this one on repeat for days. Why does Lana always happen when I'm trying to explore other artists. But damn if finds like this aren't the reason I love her so much.

Thank you x10000 to whomever said Mazzy Star! I am listening to them now and its like a void in my soul is being filled. I'm gonna check out the other suggestions when I get done being blown away.

I'm pretty excited for the video based on the clip. At times while reading the responses I wondered if we had even watched the same clip lol. I don't know, I just get this feeling that this is going to be amazing. Every time I feel unsure about something she's doing and I finally see the end product, she always manages to blow me away and make me wonder why I ever doubted her. So I'm trusting her on this one. And for anyone feeling odd about the quality, just remember the quality difference between the Shades of Cool teaser and the actual video! Also does this remind anyone of Marina's State of Dreaming video? First thing I thought when I saw it.

Its hard to compare lyrics though, you can take bits of the worst and put it with the best of the other album to make yourself seem right no matter which of her albums you are comparing. I know someone has argued that UV isn't about the lyrics, but they are kind of important if she wants to be taken seriously. Its totally possible to write music that can be both felt instrumentally and lyrically appealing (see: Wish You Were Here - the whole album) which makes some of the repetitive choruses seem lazy (except PWYC because of how she recorded it). With that said, I like UV on the whole more than BTD lyrically. You can't beat Brooklyn Baby, Flipside, Shades of Cool, etc. But at the same time don't undermine some of the amazing songs on BTD and Paradise. Err anyways... back to the idea of a UV EP.. I support it if she really wants to do it. I don't see why not if she is feeling creative enough to write and feels like she has more to say. I'll be slightly irritated if there's an Ultraviolence: EPtitlehere box set though. I've already bought this once I'd be really excited for some more Blake collabs and to see if Dan will produce it with her. If not, I wonder how it'll sound.

Andddd the song I was referring to (that I left unnamed as to not jinx it) was mentioned in the very next post. Angels Forever is perfect and not overrated maybe just a little

I'd keep the artwork/title/etc. of Paradise but I'd change the tracklist to be: 1.) Ride 2.) Hollywood 3.) Gods and Monsters 4.) Body Electric 5.) Cola 6.) Blue Velvet 7.) Bel Air 8.) LDR AKA LG version of Yayo 9.) Angels Forever Angels Forever would kill as a closer once it looped back around to Ride. For Born to Die I would have used the demo of DMD, taken out Dark Paradise, ended the album with On Our Way because that would transition perfectly to Paradise. Also trade Serial Killer for either TIWMUG or Radio. Get Drunk for Lolita and Jump for Lucky Ones.
