Let the Light In

Hi all
 
I started a huge project that was in the back of my mind since forever, I'm super excited. I'm a type designer by day and graphic designer by night, on top of course of being a huge ass Lana stan so I'm naturally fascinated by the way Lana uses typography to present her work (ngl, these past few releases had me staring at the void long and hard ). 
 
So... I'm coding a website basically designed to showcase the fonts Lana used during her career. Could be anything from tour merch to album covers - if Lana or her team used it, and if it's not a custom lettering but a real font, it counts. It's called, imaginatively, the Lana Del Rey Font Project. I started designing it just for fun on XD but I thought it would be a bummer if it wasn't real cause I find the concept impossibly cool, so I'm in the process of coding it on Dreamweaver.

I'm completely self taught in terms of html and css, and I have a lot of freelance work currently, so it takes a lot of time haha, please don't expect it to be done any soon. But I managed somehow to adapt the code to Tumblr, idk how. So, you can check the very first version on here  Please do not bother trying it on mobile, it's not ready at all for it, but I started making it responsive on desktop. The pages available are Records, Other Projects, and the very beginning of BTD-Para (click the first link in the Records page). Best experience on a big screen!
 
I plan to use this thread to post my progress regarding the website and to motivate myself to actually work on it, if the concept interests anyone  I will most gladly accept any feedback and constructive criticism - considering I'm constantly changing the design of the pages.

But for a preview, here's how I plan it to look in the near future:

I don't understand why people find WW beats messy. It is not a result of a poor production, it is meant to be that way. They remind me of 8 bit Lana covers. You can hear one similar example of beats here:

This song is so strong lyrically. I feel like it was a poet turned into a song. It truly mesmerized me. "I'll be like a wildflower I live on sheer willpower" 
 
Also the instrumental of the last chorus reminds me so much of the beats of Heroin's "it's fucking hot wether !" bridge. Considering this song is channeling Heroin with hot weather lyrics, I'm loving it so much.
 
(Omg, also "I wouldn’t know how cruel the world was" -> Cruel World)

Well, I see why she chose to release those three; Blue Banisters is for her siblings and her friends, Text Book is for her father and Wildflower Wildfire is for her father's wife.

I want Hey Blue Baby on this album if it fits the sound.

I would love Dance Till We Die as an album closer and I feel like For Free adds nothing to the album. It is her album and her story. Surely, she had some thing in her mind but I cannot feel it.

also, @Lindsay Lohan shared this file of the very end! https://krakenfiles.com/view/5c2a91e2ab/file.html it's still kinda impossible to tell what she's saying though 

i isolated the vocals as well as i could, and i still can't really tell what she's saying  i uploaded what i was able to do so if anyone wants to try and figure it out for themselves go ahead - be aware it's not perfect since i don't really do this a lot, also when i uploaded it in mp3 it wouldn't play so i just left it in wav

but to the best of my ability, this is what i got:
will you stay with me tonight, you make feel (x2) , i don't like leaving you [in the present?]

I have read on Genius that she mighe be referring to river Arkansas, so maybe that is why she pronounce it like that:
