there's a ? at the end of the sentence in case you missed it It's more about why she literally said "she doesn't do that one [Love] anymore" (for personal or technical reasons). But now we're all also wondering how simple minded one needs to be to classify it as bullying/abuse when someone yells out a song when Lana clearly asks and intends for that type of interaction. Also, no cameras and phones at a venue seems like such an immensely revolutionary idea that you bring up - I think they started doing it at venues in Berlin in the early 2010s.

Hey all, I was at the Sydney show last night and when someone asked her to play Love, she said, "sorry, we don't do that one anymore". Do we know the reason why? Everyone was looking forward to it!

She can keep it

Okay interview but her answers were getting increasingly roundabout toward the end ...

Paradise - this album reminds of exploring the world for the first time. I remember I was obsessed with the Ride opening monologue and the song. This also coincided with the time I went on my first big trip of my life without my family - to LA (I'm from Sydney). Will never forget driving on Californian highways, all the crazy nights, people I met and heartbreak when I left. Ultraviolence - reminds me of the time in college where I started to learn to become myself. Looking back, I was still a much lesser and more scared version of myself now, but at that time who I was now - someone more confident, go-getting and free was starting to have it's birth inside of a closetted new adult with no confidence. The album made me feel badass, and also spurred my obsession with New York (Brooklyn Baby / Old Money). Old Money was actually my ex's and I's song, and we flew to New York together with Ultraviolence as the soundtrack of the trip. We broke up there, which in a way of makes Ultraviolence even more beautifully sad when I listen to it. Honeymoon - I was very lost at this time. I thought I had found myself, but the people I hung around and lack of direction means I felt like I literally floated and I wasted my life for a good year. The album makes me delirious in a good way. Lust For Life - I finally feel like an adult with well-paying stable job, creative and expansive projects and endeavours. I have lots of friends now and am very confident. I am overly conscious of the world around me - I have a sense of existential hyper-awareness tied with socio-political awareness. I want the world and people around me to thrive, and I want to thrive too, but there end of things is always on my mind.

Addicted to: Change, Summer Bummer, BPBP Currently not feeling: Cherry, TNC Knowing me though, I will end up getting bored of the one's I like and I will start loving the one's I hate

"honeymoon didn't leak" - Honeymoon leaked on the 15th of September 3 days before release. "that's not a leak, Lana isn't stupid" - UO - a leak is still a leak, there are many listening parties for artists for songs don't leak. Lana also mentioned on BBC that she is known for everything leaking and she obviously doesn't like it. Her intelligence doesn't really come into it - it's a big network of distributors.

Doesn't take an "insider" to realise that albums, especially Lana's, leak, just common sense Would've thought such tenured fans could've made that connection. Honeymoon leaked 3 days before release date and Ultraviolence 2 days before.

7 days! But it will leak in 4.

My interpretation: Lana is embodying Peg Entwistle (a famous US entertainment star in the 1930s who famously jumped off the Hollywood sign). The video starts off with the storm inside Lana's eyes, foreshadowing the chaotic war in her mind she is so known for. The video then pans onto a stage where Lana is dancing and singing (to represent Peg who started as a successful Broadway star). It then pans to the second part of Peg's life, a lot more tragic, as she moved to Hollywood to try to make it big on the silver screen - Lana runs into the analog noise on screen toward Hollywood. However, due to the hardship of failing stardom there, Peg becomes disillusioned with life after trying to make it in Hollywood. Lana is now in Hollywood, facing that same disillusion as she climbs the Hollywood sign. I see the entire sequence atop the Hollywood sign as a dance between living with the mindset that you were Born To Die or living with a Lust For Life. There is tension between Abel and Lana, but also love and lust which Abel is on the side of. Lana makes a break for it and wants to end her life even after Abel is trying to show her the joys of life, converting her ribbon into a dreamy mystical sailboat. Lana sees the end of the Hollywood sign as the end of her "run" in Hollywood and life.Peg would've jumped here, as would anyone who had become too distraught and dark about their own life or the chaos of the world around them - much like the chaos of our modern times. But, Abel is there to catch her and reminds her of the joy and love in life. She turns the end of Hollywood sign (a symbol of death) on it's head, converting it into the frivolous and childish act of swinging down the slide - thus embracing life with a symbol of birth and youth, which has two conclusions a) ends in death, we will all die anyway, but her joy is immortalised b) or is her entering the world again after withdrawing, and being ready to embrace life's limitless possibilities

my new fave

Hey guys, I'm new here, and I'm in love with the new era and fanbase. I have been a fan since BTD but Love really made me a superfan. I want to know more about Lana, and there are a limited amount of interviews online. What are your favourite Lana interviews? - Please share

I just listened to the song on repeat thinking the same thing on my hour long bus ride in the middle of the rainy night back home last night ........
