  1. I'm coming out of seclusion to rant about the beauty of this album. It doesn't beat UV, but it's amazing dark mood music. BEST TRACK: "God Knows I Tried." Seems slow and dull, but is actually majestic. The lyrics are perfectly Lana and also perfectly me. I almost cried the first time I heard that "Let there be light, light up my life" part of the bridge.

    Pyrite is an unreleased Lonnie Breaux song. You can get it in torrents.

    Bad Religion= my life. I cried so much after listening to that song. Also Pyrite. Essential sad tunes for any gay person who has fallen in love with a "straight" friend who will sleep with you and do nothing more.
  4. I often facepalm at Lana's lyrics (but I have some tattooed on me as well...) LOL. I fucking hate every reference to "your golden grill." I also think the lyrics to "Stoplite Delite" are dumb, especially: "Fly body, dope in the face." I thought the song was really cute and catchy till I caught myself singing that godawful line.
  5. 3 yrs??? Damn, time flies. Like others said, I didn't think much of Lana at first. I remember my brother telling me to check out "Blue Jeans" and I was like "Oh, I know her. Her voice is ok, but I don't fucking get it. She's nothing special." LOL. Took me until UV to actually get it
  6. I don't have any particular opinion on Franco but, DAMN, do I relate to the idea that Lana created her own world to escape from the disappointment of this one. That's basically what I have done all my life in my writing.
  7. Fuck everyone who gets to go to this! Lana, Florence, Marina, Ryan Adams AND Conor Oberst?! It's like all of the sad people I like in one place at the same time...
  8. I forgot to add that I also relate to the juxtaposition of Lana the person vs. Lana the writer. So much of what she writes is heavy, dark and depressing as hell yet her character in settings with fans is delightfully cheery and friendly. I think I'm like this too. It's about having 2 different facets to your personality and needing to express both in different ways.
  9. Unpopular opinion or not?- This Is What Makes Us Girls is actually a great story song.
  10. This may be a dumb question, but are they back together? They are cool just working with each other like this after all of the turmoil?
  11. An addition to UV is an awesome idea. She should do it for all of her albums. To me, Paradise was the dark side of Born to Die. Maybe she could make a light side to UV...
  12. I want this now. I love Lana's high voice, where it sounds like she's crying.
  13. I really liked this article (now that it's been properly translated) and it further confirmed for me that Lana has never really wanted fame. I can see her ending up like Kate Bush or something.
  14. I would kiss Lana for sure, like you're gonna pass that chance up out of respect. Oh, hell no! LOL. I mean I respect Lana greatly and think she's slightly crazy for doing this with fans, but imagine the stories you'd have. And what if you wound up getting some virus from her? You could tell everyone that you got ill from making out with Lana Del Rey
  15. I am crazy about "Hollywood's Dead" right now. The chorus is so damn good and I can't stop singing "You're sickeningly beautiful." Wish she would make a more orchestral version and release it.
  16. Excited as hell! I feel like she is going to explore a different genre now with each album, but still remain the same Lana. Orchestral grunge is something I REALLY want to hear.
  17. @@longtimeman, OMG, I would die to be that dude playing his guitar while Lana sings! How can I make this happen??? @@Wilde_child "I wanna be the whole world's girl, Gramma, I wanna be the whole world's girl..." She got her wish for sure. She definitely feeds off our love for her. And that TMZ video was hilarious! However I really don't know any other celebs who would kiss a shit-ton of fans on the lips like that.
  18. @, yes, that's what she was doing @@Wilde_child- oh, that was perfection! To meet her must be like meeting an old friend
  19. Thank you! I forgot I made this thread the other day. LOL Good example of Lana's snark/charm.
  20. I don't know why I can't seem to quote posts but I just want to comment on the previously-posted "Ride" video. This was one of the 1st Lana performances I watched and I found her just fascinating here. The way she smiled briefly at the end then started to look very sad and contemplative, the way she held onto that mic like it was her lifeboat, how she closed her eyes so much and her lashes kept fluttering. I thought she must have been a really thoughtful and sensitive person. This performance super moved me and still does now
  21. She's really so sweet, so why don't we have a thread for this???
  22. I deleted pretty much all of her "pop" songs from my iTunes. LOL. I just can't stand them!
