I was in the winter of my life And the men that I met along the road were my only summer. At night, I fell asleep with visions of myself Dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not a very popular one, Who one had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet - But upon an unfortunate series of events Saw those dreams dashed And divided like a millions stars in the night sky That I wished on over and over again - sparkling and broken. But I didn't really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When the people I used to know Found out what I had been doing How I had been living - they asked me why. But there's no use in talking to people who have a home, They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people, For home to be wherever you lie your head. I was always an unusual girl, My mother told me I had a chameleon soul. No morall compass pointing due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn't plan for it to turn out this was, I'd be lying - Because I was born to be the other woman. Who belonged to no one - who belonged to everyone, Who had nothing, who wanted everything With a fire for every experience And an obsession for freedom That terrified me to the point I couldn't even talk about - And pushed me to a nomatic point Of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. (…) Every night I used to pray that I'd find my people - And finally I did - on the open road. We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain Nothing we desired anymore - Except to make our lives into a work of art. Live fast. Die young. Be wild, and have fun I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become. I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever - I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I'm at war with myself - I ride. I just ride. Who are you? Are you in touch with all your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you're free to experience them? I have! I am fucking crazy, but I am free! (Ride Monologue) oh Lana

I prefer raw live shows without all the dancers and background singers. I miss the simplicity of her first tours. I also don’t care about the fact that she doesn’t do proper promotion and just does what she wants. I feel like her fans somehow want her to be more like a mainstream pop star when it comes to promoting albums etc but I really don’t care about that and actually like the fact that she doesn’t do mainstream promotion. However, I really miss the visual aspect of BTD/Paradise era. I love the beautiful aesthetic of BTD video and how beautiful (and red haired ) she looks on it. I love how visually beautiful is Blue Jeans video - I’ve read it looks like a perfume advertising and do so agree and love it. I love the storytelling of National Anthem. I love the “story” told by Ride MV, its monologue (one of my favorite lyrics written by her), her visuals and the video itself visuals. I love how sexy is Burning Desire. I think she’s released good MV afterwards like West Coast and Shades of Cool, but for me they didn’t get even close to BTD/Paradise MVs. I thought that she would get there again in COCC but when they turned into werewolves I got so pissed lol it was so ridiculous and disappointing that I never saw that MV again She’s become more mainstream in shows and less in MVs, the opposite of what I prefer lol

I paint the sky black you said if you could have your way youd make a nighttime of the day so it’s suit the mood of your soul (black beauty) I’ve always been a strong woman of faith strong like a tree, but the unlucky one (fine China) that’s because I have a bad mind, and I got gold in my veins, but he says I’ve got the purest heart that he’s ever seen (you’re gonna love me)

It’s one of my favourites I love all the lyrics @Surf Noiris posting too… maybe I am ridiculous

Tell me you love me, fuck me to death, love me until I love myself - this is so cringy, I always sing “love me to death” instead

This is my favorite: Jim Morrison sings Born To Die (don’t know how to post YouTube videos like you do) I really wanna hear more Jim Morrison singing Lana and Lana singing the doors, even though it’s kinda disturbing

I usually prefer unreleased songs when I see their lyrics/melodies are way darker and more essentially Lana. I have the impression that she makes the songs a little less heavy to release them. A few examples are Lust For Life, Beautiful People Beautiful Problems, National Anthem (compared to demo I Want It All) and Diet Mountain Dew.

Honeymoun for me

LDR - JFK

Thank you so much!

I think she performs this setlist because 1. She’s playing the songs she likes and 2. She’s performing in festivals then must sing her most famous songs which are from BTD Era I really liked to hear VG on the end of the show here in Rio de Janeiro and I’m not even a big fan of the song, but it’s one of her most famous songs and the audience goes crazy, it’s very beautiful. It’s a grand finale. Also she dedicates the song to the audience, it’s sweet

Meh I don’t believe in this setlist

And moi je jue

Brooklyn baby vs Tulsa Jesus Freak

Lust for life demo vs White Dress

Cinnamon Girl vs Gods And Monsters

COTCC x A&W

Ride vs. If I Die Young

Bittersweet Anthem from the US of A, a figment of our imaginatiooooon

Dayglo Reflection is so underrated, people never talk about it and it’s so beautiful… the lyrics, Lana’s voice… but my favourite released feature are Groupie Love, Summer Bummer, Summer Wine, Wait For Life and God Save Our Young Blood. Can’t pick just one The unreleased is Unidentified Flying Bill

My first cd I think was Spice World from Spice Girls. Never bought any digital album, I’m an analog oldie

Off to the races lyrics, off to the races vocals, off to the races instrumental this song is perfect

Is there a complete or another version of Hangin’ Around? If so, I’m REALLY craving for it

This is a good point, unfortunately will keep my expectations low

Probably not her best, but I was just listening to Golden Grill while reading this topic and its first line is so good: What happened to ‘nobody does it better’?
