Gecko liked a post in a topic by PARADIXO in Is Taylor Swift Just a Big Rip Off of Lana Del Rey?
We had enough with her lyrics. Taylor's videos changed a lot since Born to Die... what a coincidence, no?
In "Blank Space" she looks really angry and ultraviolent.
Taylor's "Style" was on point last summertime.

Read some of her new lyrics, hmm...
"Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting, silence..."
Describing a tragic relationship? I've seen it before
"Wining and dining, drinking and driving, excessive buying, overdose and dying"
"Oh my God, look at that face"
You love your lover's face, huh? Why doesn't it make you party then?
"Oh that face makes me wanna party"
"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye and I got that red party dress lip classic thing that you like [...] You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt and I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt"
What is all this Instagram imagery?
But wait... there's more Lana-inspired lines in "Style"!
"Takes me home, lights are off"
"Lights, camera, acción... if he likes me, takes me home"
He can take you home Tay, but he won't put you in the Oscar-winning movie Tropico!
And now, Lana's best megamix, "Wildest Dreams"!
"Let's get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the crowds [...] This is gonna take me down" vs Lucky Ones' "Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire. Everyone around here seems to be going down, down, down"
"He's so tall and handsome as hell" vs American's "You were like, tall, tan" vs National Anthem's "God, you're so handsome!"
"Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress" vs Blue Jeans' "Say you'll remember..." And, of course, the iconic comparison between "Wildest Dreams"' melody and "Without You"'s.
There's more!
"Looking at it now... last December... we were built to fall apart"
"But I still remember the day we met in December..."
"It's been a long 6 months"
"Remember me the way I was 6 months ago"
Taylor isn't that dumb and she doesn't want the world to know she's the biggest Lana Del Rey fan, and that's why she says "clear blue" in "This Love" instead of the legendary "dark blue".
"You stand with your hand on my waist"
"Put your hands on my waist, do it softly"
"You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress"
What? Hmmm... wine is usually red so, does she have a little red party dress on?

(pls don't yell @ me for double-posting-- just thought I'd drop this here.)
I posted another version of this in a status a few days ago, but this is a slightly clearer image.
I'm still too scared to start on the background, but I'm working myself up to it. I'm gonna try to color the whole circle like space.
Looking back on it, I sort of wish I hadn't done the Froot-inspired thing with her hair, since I don't think I'll be able to tie it into the background in a way that won't look gross. Oh well. Still have to reposition her ear and color it as well.
But srsly, thank you all for being so rad and supportive.

Gecko liked a post in a topic by MotelHoney in Unpopular Lana Opinions
I think the lover she's singing about it also the media "I never bought into your bullshit when you would pay tribute to me" would be the media praising her and then shitting on her.
Or like the "I wish I was dead already" comment she says it was taken out of context and the reporter was praising her and making her believe he was a fan when really he was out to get her
Oh and also, remember James Franco's interview about lana?
She has this idea for a film. I want to do it because it’s a little like Sunset Boulevard. A woman is alone in a big house in L.A. She doesn’t want to go out. She starts to go crazy, and becomes paranoid because she feels like people are watching her. Even in her own house. It’s like an awesome B-movie that lives in Lana’s head. It’s about her, and it’s not about her. Just like her music.

I think HBTB is the worst Lead single choice Lana has made and Its also imo one of Lana's worst songs she's ever made to.It sounds to me like its a demo for a potentially great track. I always always find some redeeming quality in anything Lana has released or done so far in her career but the track is so bad and lazy
I don't like the instrumental at all it just sounds so basic compared to what Lana and her team are capable of. I understand Lana has to evolve and hell I love it when artist do so as it keeps them and us interested but the beats are so generic...
The lyrics are very vapid and empty. Apart from the cute Lizzy Grant nod and the rather good ending the rest are the usual Lana troupes that she's prone to using. I get why almost everyone likes it so much though. The fact the Lana is standing up for herself and saying a massive fuck you to the press/ex's whatever is a massive and important step forward.So I'm happy that way \par
Now the video.Its not the mess that UV was but its not a masterpiece like BTD was either.It middle of the road like Y&B and Burning Desire.Its beautiful and there are some gorgeous shots aswell but in some parts it feels awkward. The highlight though is when Lana shoots down the Paparazzi-copter. Actually that's one of the highlights of my life tbh Its quite funny in some parts especially when she caught her dress on the rail -
Gecko liked a post in a topic by Elle in Terrence Loves You
You are what you are
I don't matter to anyone
But Hollywood legends will never grow old
And though our love was hidden
Well, it will never grow cold
But I lost myself when I lost you
And I still got jazz when I've got those blues
And I lost myself when I lost you
And I still get trashed, darling, when I hear your tunes
But you are who you are
I won't change you for anything
For when you are crazy
I'll let you be bad
I'll never dare change thee to what you are not
But I lost myself when I lost you
But I still got jazz when I've got those blues
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed, baby, when I hear your tunes
I put the radio on hold you tight in my mind
Isn't strange that you're not here with me
I'm putting all the light on and the television
Trying to transmit; can you hear me?
Ground control to Major Tom
Can you hear me all night long
Ground control to Major Tom
But I lost my self when I lost you
But I still got jazz when I've got the blues
I lost myself and I lost you too
And I still get trashed, honey, when I hear your tunes
Mm...
Mm...
Not as jazzy as I was expecting, but it's still beautiful, especially the bridge and the chorus. It's a bit heartbreaking. Some of the verses' melodies remind me of We Are the Champions (ha) mixed with I Want to Sing, which we know Lana loves to sing.

Jamie Smith (born 28 October 1988), better known by the stage name Jamie xx, is an English music producer, remix artist and DJ who is known both as a solo act and as a member of the London-based band The xx.
Probably you already know him, for the songs with The XX like The Great Gatsby's Soundtrack Together or another famous songs. This year he has published a soloist album, "In Colours". I appreciate his work... I think he will become a big star quickly. What do you think about Jamie xx?

Well, I wanted to share all the covers that I made from Lana albums, EPs, songs or fan mixtapes.
Black Beauty: I've made two versions for a fan mixtape with those 2012-2013 unreleased songs.
Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant: I love this one, I'm so proud of these one it's just so beautiful and yeah I made it with the E.
Honeymoon: I've made again two versions because the photos are just beautiful.
Dark Tropics: It's just a remake of the original fan mixtape cover.
This Is What Makes Us Girls: I was obsessed with the song and the demos, this was for a EP I made with the 3 demos, the final version and the ALTO remix (really cool remix tho). I also have made an orange and pink color version, but I've lost them
I hope you like them, I'll be doing more Also feel free to use any of these covers if you want
