Honeymooner

I'm gonna guess perhaps Brooklyn Baby?
 
She'll definitely perform West Coast... already has, actually.  And she once sang a couple of verses of "Old Money" a capella, so I'm sure she'll perform that with full instrumentation later on (though it may sound different than the album, since the album version only has strings and piano).
 
One thing about "Old Money," though, is that it's mostly in her lower vocal range.  I've noticed that when she sings other songs live that are normally in her low range, she changes the pitches and goes higher instead.  I think that's because, despite being amplified, there's so much other noise around from the band and the audience that she can't sing the low notes with enough volume to be heard.  That's no fault of hers; it's just how it is when you sing in your low vocal register.  It'll depend on the song, though; if it's a quiet one, like "Old Money" is, then perhaps she won't have any trouble.

The instrumentation isn't that unusual.  Percussion, harp, and strings.  She always has a live string quartet on stage with her, so that wouldn't be a problem.  The harp could be synthesized as it is for Video Games (sometimes you hear harp at the beginning; other times it's just piano), and the timpani rolls could be substituted with regular drums, or synthesized as well.  It'd be fun to hear this one live!

Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys will be, or already is, collaborating with several current artists, including Frank Ocean, Nate Ruess, Kacey Musgraves, and Lana Del Rey.  Lana will be singing a song with Brian called "Last Song."  There are 2 versions in the works, one with Brian singing lead vocals, and one with Lana singing lead.  I'm anxious to hear the latter!

And... just google "Brian Wilson Lana del Rey" and you'll find a ton.

The author isn't trying to say that she loves Lana despite being homosexual.  What she's saying is that Lana's songs make her (the author) want to fall in love with the men that Lana talks about in her songs.  The songs make the author want to, at least momentarily, be straight so that she can experience what Lana is experiencing.

I hope this is the right place for this... "Media" didn't seem appropriate, and I didn't see anywhere else that looked right, so here goes. Mods, please feel free to move it if need be.
 
I ran across an interesting article. Despite what the title may make you think, it's a very good read! Written by a gay woman.

Hey everyone,
 
Does anyone know if Lana has ever performed "Lucky Ones" live?  I like that song, but haven't found any indication that she has ever performed it live.  It'd be interesting to hear how it's done.
 
Thanks!

OK, I have a confession to make.  I'm not sure if it should be here or in its own new topic, but here goes.
 
I watched the videos of Lana's Saturday Night Live performance from 2012.  I thought she did great!  She did seem a little nervous during the first part of Video Games, but that came through more in her actions and movements (or lack thereof) than in her voice.  I thought her voice was still strong, and she didn't hit any out-of-tune notes (as a musician with perfect pitch, I'd know!).  Then, for Blue Jeans, she seemed a little more "warmed up."  The word "burn" in the first verse came out a little strong -- maybe the mic was too close -- but other than that, I thought she performed quite admirably.  And the audience cheered for her.  I wish I knew where all the hate for this performance is coming from.

I still prefer BTD over UV and always will. It's a hands down choice for me.

Not sure if this is quite the right place for this topic, but here goes.
 
My interpretation of the meaning behind National Anthem:
 
The song appears to be about a woman (portrayed by Lana in the video) who is with a wealthy man (portrayed by A$AP Rocky).  Or maybe she's the wealthy one.  In any case, to me, the theme seems to be wanting him to tell her that she is his "National Anthem," i.e. she is his world, his everything.  She talks about the things they do, the places they go, the lifestyle they live, but behind it all, she just wants to know that he loves her and that she is everything to him.
 
This idea also goes hand-in-hand with the way that during live performances, National Anthem is almost always the last song, and that while playing it, Lana takes the opportunity to meet her fans in the front rows.  I say it goes together because she is telling her fans that she loves them and that they are the world to her.  (I know it sounds contrary to what she has said in some recent interviews, but that's still how I see it.)
 
Thoughts/comments?

Yes, according to the video.  But if you were just listening to the song and hadn't seen the video, the whole JFK theme wouldn't be apparent.  Sorry, I meant to say that in my original post but forgot.  My interpretation is based on the words.  Plus, on the album, she doesn't sing Happy Birthday first.

Best moment for me is the bridge in "Young and Beautiful." I'm a classical musician myself, and I love how the orchestra sounds behind Lana in this section.
