    I remember Christmas 2012…I was like 11 and obsessed with that album. I forced my parents to let me bring my iPod touch on our ski trip so I could listen to BTD on the slopes, and then I shattered the screen. It was truly BTD. I always relate the album to that holiday season.

    Ultraviolence, the song

    What's funny is that all of these are logical but not one fits better than the actual title I think. Lana's song titles like Yosemite or Cruel World add to the entire feeling of her songs

    I go on trips with my friends to the beach who don’t know that I’m crazy

    I can do that

    I can do anything

     

    My favourite part of probably the entire project. When you're just different from most and you know it, but it's not so simple so you carry on with life like everything is fine and nobody would know any better. A work of art

    I found an ultraviolence version of wildflower wildfire, and it's really great. It doesn't by any means replace the original, but it's an excellent companion.💙

    I know that a lot of people say Born to Die is her most “commercial” album but I don’t think the songs are inherently “commercial” at all — while it was her most commercially traditional album cycle, I actually think that while the lyrical themes and stylistic choices resonated with people and garnered attention, it was really the image that was kind of painted for her by the public that made everything feel more “commercialized”.
     
    I’m not saying that Lana and her team didn’t capitalize off of that for the sake of establishing a career — it is quite essential to becoming as well known as she is, and from a business perspective, it is quite genius — but I genuinely believe that it’s still as authentic of a record to her as the records that followed it. I rewatch and reread interviews from 2011 and I truly do see a woman who wrote songs for the simple joy of it and recaptured moments of her life in musical form. And correlating songs to real events and people in her life just reinforces that (not that we are entitled to knowing those things for the sake of actually believing in the merit of the music, it’s just amazing and lucky that we have those things to back it up). 
     
    She quite literally is a creative genius who created a never-done-before soundscape through which her lyrics could come to life. I don’t think the “grandiosity” of the record compared to her later work negates the realness of her creative output, and it’s a shame that the record — while being lauded as an iconic trailblazer — is somewhat seen as “stale” by some parts of the fanbase. I listen back to the record and I hear so much stardom and interweaving of different places, things, people, and emotions to create a world that is just so immersive. Nobody did it like her, and nobody continues to do it like her. 
     
    This is just my rant about how Born to Die as a record really is the mother of so many things. I have so much respect and appreciation for it and really want to help restore its legacy to the actual music and the things that have made Lana such an enigma, icon, and legend, but also a friend, nurturer, and comfort in music over the last 10 years. That record is innovative to the nth degree and its classics like the title track, Off to the Races, Blue Jeans, and the song that started it all — Video Games — are history.

    I love Radiohead too, have since the 90's.
    I was upset that she got accused of ripping off Creep with Get Free.  There are musical similarities, but it's not even close to a ripoff. Intellectual property is a tricky business, but Lana has proven she doesn't have to copy anyone else to be truly great.💙
