Why does Rob always have to give an example of something that happened 50 years ago

yep what bothers me is that i think she could write a good chorus if she were less lazy but it as if she foregoes that for the sake of her beloved trope which she can't move on from, i mean i understand she has somewhat of an obsessive personality reusing the same lyrics and such in many songs; it could be an innocent good artistic choice but sometimes if feels like recycling -.-  
 
literally the only way i can accept the chorus of g&r is if i interpret it like a warped antanaclasis 
 
he loves guns & roses (he likes guns and roses)
he loves g&r (he likes danger/excitement but also beauty/nature)
guuuns and roses, roses, ... (her love interest is bi or pan because some people have guns between their tights and others have roses   and he loves all)
 

I cackled.

There may be more similarities in the songs. These are the ones that stood out to me

if you don't hear "fake news" at 23:40, you need to get your hearing checked

I think I should get off her first
 
if you didn't get this refrence then we can't be friends

I think she's saying "Amy" first then continues with "Janis". I think she references Janis because Janis died of a Heroin overdose so it'd relate to "Heroin" in some capacity & I think it goes well

Barrie isn't headline worthy, imho lmao, nor has he died (I don't think at least?? ). I'd say Lou Reed, Amy Winehouse, or Kurt Cobain, one of Lana's many inspirations whom lost their precious lives at such a young age because of drugs or suicide.

Omg I had a dream last night that Lana got married and she literally wore a white version of those hideous adidas pants and a weird white sweater. It was so tragic

I tried with my Paint skillz.

Can we get a In my Feelings music video of Lana smoking on the treadmill in her adidas trackies

for kurt and for amy

"I'm flying to the moon again, dreaming about heroin" - even weed can make you feel like you are shooting into space (hence being 'high' haha) and it can also have a strange effect where while under the influence, thinking about other drugs can have an almost magnetic pull towards them. It's hard to explain, but it's almost like the drug is calling out to you, inviting you to take a trip.
 
"I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land" - I associated this with the ending of her relationship with Barrie, as she kind of sent him back to Europe, and from an outside perspective, he seemed to subsequently enter into a very dark time of life.
 
"Topanga's hot today, Manson's in the air. And all my friends have come, cuz they still feel him here" - although not found in Topanga Canyon, the John Lautner house she was (is?) renting where the 2015 Joe Pugliese Billboard shoot was done, is literally one street adjacent from where Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson group. These lyrics gave me the visual of her friends being fascinated/creeped out how close they are to where the murders happened.

She laughs. “I’d say that a good half of my boyfriends cheated on me. I’ve never been good at picking them.”
 
 
we need names 

This is my translation of the interview posted by Vanity Fair Italy with Lana. She is on the cover of the magazine, anyway it is an old photoshoot. There will probably be a lot mistakes, but I'm not a native speaker and I tried my best. 
Enjoy your reading  
 

 
 
 
 
Her first record was Born to Die, the last one it titled Lust for Life and it is not a case. Lana Del Rey is happier and less dark at our time, she has found out political commitment. She got rid of all of the covers that she used to hide herself behind, but she still keeps beautiful memories from the past. Some of them more special than others, and some of them are Italian.
She admits that something has changed and it comes to my mind that the first sign of this change may be her smile on the cover-art of the record, even though it is pretty ironical. Daisies in her hair, a long white dress hippie-style and a retro feel that reminds of Summer of Love. And then there are the titles of her records, that seem to give no explanation except for some hints: we’ve come from Born to Die, 2012, her first album, to the last one, out a few days ago, Lust for Life.
“For what concerns the titles, that seem to mirror one another, I actually noticed it a lot after, it wasn’t something thought in advance, but I really like the idea, I think it is really cool. For me it symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter. But the contents of this new chapter are yet to decide” she says before bursting in laughter, and it won’t be the only time she will during this chat. Calling from Los Angeles, Lana Del Rey speaks so slowly, you can hear an undertone of music and people talking.
Conspiracy theorists from the business probably will have a lot to say about this change, going from the dark David Lynch character singing about death, violence, hopeless love, to a Californian Style popstar, always sad but with hippie features (there’s also a duet with Sean Lennon, which is called Tomorrow Never Came, and she tells us why she choose him: due to the “peace & love” concept that runs in his veins.)
 When Lizzy Grant changed her stage name to Lana del Rey, with her first song, Video Games, getting millions of views on YouTube, suspicious was after her: her look was considered too perfect, planned in advance, that goth imagery – she seemed to be a marketing product, with nothing authentic in it.   “A reflect of our common nightmares about cynicism and fake American culture”, that’s what was written by New York Times. It was 2011. Her career eventually told us another story. There have been successful records as Ultraviolence and Honeymoon, new scandals, an important love affair with Francesco Carrozzini, son of Franca Sozzani, who died last December, and above all the desire to carry on, among haters and loyal fans.
 
 
Have you still got that tattoo that says “trust no one”?
Yeah and I never understood why I did it, I think it was a subtle message to myself. At first I thought I did for fun, but at a certain point I wasn’t that sure about it.
Have you been betrayed so many times?
She laughs. “I’d say that a good half of my boyfriends cheated on me. I’ve never been good at picking them.”
But today you sing about your lust for life. Is it a statement?
Yes, I think so.
So, does it mean that you’re happier?
When I started making this record and I wrote Love, the first single, I was in a place where doing this kind of statements was really easy and I wanted to change.
How have you changed?
In the last two years a lot of things happened that made me a different person. Relationship, thoughts. This is the direction I’m going to: more colors, more light, a sound with a seventies aftertaste.
What does this new light you’re talking about illuminate?
Beautiful melodies, a sixties mood but still with a contemporary atmosphere. It’s the tone of my songs that is different: they are what they are, without barrels, without covers.
And what did the covers used to hide?
The story I was telling. So that the listeners weren’t able to understand and empathize. For me it’s an achievement to have gotten rid of them.
It’s a new season for you.
I like my last records, in them I told my whole life and it was a hard challenge making them. With Lust for Life I felt like I could be more relaxed and experiment new things, such as having other people on my record, and also at the same time having the opportunity to stay in my comfort zone.
Love it’s a hymn to youth, to the sensation of having endless possibility in your hands.
Yes, it’s a feeling that I have often, that I can do everything. I like my life. After a day in the studio, I go out and do whatever I want with my friends, like going to the beach or just hanging around the city. I really feel lucky, and free in every moment of my life. Nowadays I only see people that make me feel good and give energy to my life. Love talks about this energy that you try to grow in yourself.
And yet a few years ago you said in an interview that you whished you were dead. It was a scandal: did you regret that statement?
No, I don’t regret it, that’s because I really thought it, it was a hard time in my life. I just never thought that the journalist would publish that sentence. I was in tour for 14 months and in this kind of situations the only persons you talk to the most are journalists. To this person in particular, I had developed a confidential relationship. That’s how it went. My fault was to be too naïve.
You spent a lot of time in Italy. What have you learnt from our country and our people?
I found out that Italy is really beautiful as you see in movies. My experience was exciting: when I was in Milan I used to be part of a world that was separate from everything. At that time I only knew a couple of Italians and their friends were people with a strong sense of freedom, they were wild, they were artists, joyful and had this motto on their mind: live and let live. And then there was fashion.
What relationship did you have with Franca Sozzani?
I used to see her very often, that’s because every time I was in Italy she stayed with us. I was a big fan of her, I really appreciated the way she brought Italian fashion at the top of the world, I think it is extraordinary. And she was extraordinary too.
And what memories do you still keep with you from your Italian lover?
The days spent with a beautiful and slow rhythm in Portofino, a dream place; playing soccer in Miami with his Italian friends; spending time with his mother.
Even when you were in Italy you were followed by paparazzi. You always say that you don’t really like fame.
It’s not that I don’t like fame, it’s just that I consider it being a total different game that has nothing to do with music. When I lived in London I used to ride around with my bike and it was so easy to be recognized that I always ended up with being caught by paps. Then I learnt some tricks, it takes a couple of years to get used to this kind of life. Now is good, definitely, I feel at ease.
What’s the worst part of being famous?
I don’t know.
You have many haters.
She laughs: “maybe that’s the worst part of being famous.”
This record is more political involved than the others. How come?
I was a girl with a good voice, who loved singing and who knew that she was going to be a musician. After my debut, I spent a lot of time trying to understand what was happening to me. I mean, I was figuring out who I was, so that means that I wasn’t ready to express my opinion about problems going on in the world. Now, six years after Video Games, I feel like I am part of a community, so I can take part of the social talk where are involved millions of people.
There’s a song on the record, called God Bless America – and All the Beautiful Women in It, dedicated to American women.
Yes, that’s because we are the most hurt by the new administration. Just think about all the stuff going on with Planned Parenthood, trying to limit access to birth control. I’m just one out of many women who feel outraged.
But feminists have never loved you.
At the beginning of my career people wanted to label me as “the singer who doesn’t like to feminists” because of the things I was singing and so I received a lot of questions about the theme. I have never answered, I have never wanted to get at the same level of this kind of discussion. I always believed music goes beyond everything, and in a year as the one that we are living in the U.S.A, it was natural to speak to women and say: I’m with you.
Speaking about Trump, on Twitter you posted some magic formulas to get rid of him…
I red somewhere that witches from all parts of the world were organizing a ritual against the president. Obviously, it was a joke. Was it that hard to understand? 

Okay all jokes aside, is Graham actually Lana's dad??

Not sure if I dreamt this at some point but I think I recall Lana singing "we just want the fucking truth, told by the fake news" - and now it sounds more and more like "fake news"

i think it's bc many GP love her with her VG, LfL, West Coast, Summertime Sadness style pop & radio friendly songs
 
whereas stans literally want a song produced by Auerbach with her singing how she's slowly killing herself because her man committed suicide after she fucked somebodies husband

looks like Graham's got competition!

Lol fuck billboard, tidal, jay z, meek mill, the academy awards, the grammys, the anti lana media bias, interscope, beyonce, asap rocky, g eazy, francesco, adidas, honeymoon, drake, future, elon musk, tumblr, laziness, lack of sportsmanship and artistic integrity, donald trump, theresa may, a handful of crazy brazilian stans, the freak music video, nielsen, unfulfilled promises, anxiety, the right wing, melanie martinez and her weird aesthetic, taylor swift, itunes, apple, the fiends who set fire to lana's rose garden dreams, boris johnson

careful now... you don't want to repeat the incident from the pre-release thread where someone called Playboi Carti a monkey as a joke* (*according to them) which caused a shitload amount of drama, now do you? 

Okay but this novel would actually be the most amazing inspiration for Lana's next album
 
It's called The Future Eve and it's a 19th century classical science fiction novel, and the one which popularized the term "android"
 
Here's a synopsis (from wikipedia)
When Ewald calls, he reveals that he is close to suicide because of his fiancée, Miss Alicia Clary. Alicia is described as being physically perfect but emotionally and intellectually empty. She will say whatever she believes others want to hear. Far from having any ambition or goals of her own, she lives her life based on what she believes is expected of her. Ewald describes his frustration with the disparity between her appearance and her self and confides that though he can have no other, she is so hopeless that he has resolved to kill himself.
Edison replies by offering to construct for Ewald a machine-woman in the form of Alicia but without any of her bothersome personality. He shows Ewald the prototype of the android, named Hadaly, and Ewald is intrigued and accepts Edison’s offer. Edison reveals that he has invited Alicia to his residence at Menlo Park in order to set the process in motion. He then explains to the still somewhat doubtful Ewald how he will interact with the android and how natural it will all feel.
Ewald then presses Edison to tell him why he created Hadaly in the first place. Edison relates a long story about Mr. Edward Anderson who was tempted into infidelity by a young woman named Miss Evelyn. His indiscretion, brought about by the guile of Miss Evelyn, ruins his life completely. Edison then says that he tracked down Miss Evelyn only to discover that she was not as she appeared, rather she was horribly ugly and her beauty was entirely the work of cosmetics, wigs, and other accessories. Edison created Hadaly in an effort to overcome the flaws and artificiality of real women and create a perfect and natural woman who could bring a man true happiness. Edison then takes Ewald back to Hadaly and explains to him the exact mechanical details of her functioning: how she moves and talks and breathes and bathes, all the while explaining how natural and normal Hadaly’s robotic needs are, comparing them to similar human actions and functions.
After the details of the android's functioning and construction are covered, Alicia arrives and is escorted in. Edison convinces her that she is being considered for an important theater role. Over the course of the next weeks, she poses for Edison and her exact physical likeness is duplicated and recordings of her voice are made. Eventually, Edison sends Alicia away and introduces Ewald to his android-Alicia without revealing that it is not the real thing. Ewald is very taken with her and she secretly reveals to him that she is in fact not simply an android but has been supernaturally endowed with the spirit of Sowana, Edison’s mystical assistant. Ewald does not reveal this fact to Edison but instead leaves with Hadaly-Alicia-Sowana. However, before he can reach home to his new life with his new lover, Ewald’s ship sinks and the android, who was traveling with the cargo, is destroyed.
 
So a female singer with emotional issues (aka normal by most standards) is recreated as a robot to be the perfect woman and chanteuse and it turns out the robot lady is actually a supernatural spirit 
 
Like, the character is shockingly like Lana. For instance,
 
“I learned that she came from a good family, and that her betrothed had forsaken her to marry a girl with a fortune. Alicia left home, intending to lead a Bohemian life as a singer. However, she later gave up this idea. “Her voice, appearance, and dramatic talent would have provided her with an income sufficient for her needs. But she was glad to have met me just when she was setting forth into the world."
 
also 
 
"Her heavy brown hair, which hung about her like a mantle, had the radiance of a summer night. Her face was an exquisite oval. Her hands were not quite as aristocratic as the rest of her form, but her feet had the same eloquence as the Greek statues. “Her eyes were beautiful, her brows perfectly shaped. The sound of her low voice was so thrilling, the notes of her songs so stirring, that I was overcome with a strange emotion. My admiration, as you shall see, was of an unknown order."
