These make sense to me. 2010 was when she was recording a lot of those more pop sounding songs like Breaking My Heart, Hit & Run, Be My Daddy, etc.
I kinda believe the Caught You Boy tea. I always thought it sounded pitched or something. Even at the end, when she’s talking, it sounds high. We need the unedited version someone leak it please!
Topanga is hot tonight, the city by the bay
Has movie stars and liquor stores and soft decay
The rumblin' from distant shores sends me to sleep
But the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream
Life rocked me like Mötley
Grabbed me by the ribbons in my hair
Life rocked me ultra softly
Like the heavy metal that you wear
Alright, so I figured that some way or somehow, we should settle this debate on the leaked/unleaked and rumored versions of SYTH. According to LDRWiki, this is what they have listed regarding the versions of SYTH:

Edited version — 4:10
Ultraviolence demo version 2 (produced by Patrick Warren) — 4:10
Ultraviolence final version (produced by Dan Auerbach) — Unknown
Honeymoon demo version (produced by STINT) — 3:31
Honeymoon final version (produced by STINT and Rick Nowels) — Unknown
Chemtrails Over the Country Club version (produced by James Ford) — Unknown

Hello, everyone! It's that time of year again! Our annual Lipsters Awards is our site's own awards ceremony where we all come together to honour the best of the best (and the worst of the worst.)
This year, we're having a very special Decade Edition of the Lipsters Awards as not only has this year been the decade celebration of Lana Del Rey's debut album, but we also celebrated a whole decade of LanaBoards together! There will be 9 extra special award categories to honour moments we experienced together over the past decade.
I look forward to hosting this year's annual ceremony with you all again! I always await our Lipsters Awards every year, and love how we can all come together to have our own special day all about us. Also, big thanks to @Rorman Nockwell for helping me with the title cards! Sending everyone all my love! Good luck! x

After Party: page 83
Though there’s been discourse from time to time about making the return of our “Time Online” tracker, at this point I’m sure you all can recognise who our most recent visitors are without it! The Most Active award will be bestowed upon the member that frequently blesses us with their posts. Also thanks for boosting our AdSense revenue xx
Sometimes a thought isn’t worth a thread post, and that’s okay! The recipient of the Status Updater award is the one who makes the best use out of our Status Update feature to let us know their thoughts for the day, their favourite new tunes, their drunken rambles, and the like. (& with the abundance of new threads being created this year, I thank the ones who utilise this feature when appropriate instead.)
Whether it be a Lana pun, an iconic song title, or just a purely imaginative name, we all have that one member whose name makes us smile, and the Best Username award is for that special someone.
Well, you can’t agree with everyone. Opposite from our previous award, the Worst Taste award is for the one whose opinions leave others questioning. We’re sorry, but we still love you anyway.
This award is reserved for our own America’s Sweetheart who always keeps it sugary sweet. Let’s show our appreciation for those who make LanaBoards an enjoyable place to be with the Nicest Member award.
Winner: @Elle
Runner Up: @IanadeIrey
Other nominees: @Alison by Slowdive, @Surf Noir, @The Stargirl Pinky
No negativity on this site, thank u. But it happens sometimes. This award is for our feisty kitten who has no shame in digging their claws in every now and then. Take your Rudest Member award and then maybe chill out.
Winner: @111
Runner Up: @lanasbottom
Other nominees: @letterblue, @Lustformoney, @The Love Witch
Old is gold. This award is to honour our member who has continued to come back year after year despite the madness, the one who has become truly ingrained within LanaBoards culture. Give a salute as we honour our favourite LanaBoards veteran with the Veteran Member award.
(Note: Only accounts who have joined before August 2017 are eligible for this award)
Old may be gold, but new can be diamonds! The Best New Member award is for our favourite new face, who thankfully hasn’t been scared away yet. We hope you stick around.
(Note: Only accounts who have joined after August 2021 are eligible for this award)
Winner: @hotshot2am
Runner Up: @BartenderDeco
Other nominees: @burthday kake, @For K, @Wait For Life
Everybody loves an underdog. The Underrated Member award is for the member who you feel doesn’t get enough credit around here and deserves their flowers. We won’t let you die an underdog in vain.
Though I resent this award each year, at this point it has become tradition. The Best Banned Member award is to honour someone who is no longer here with us due to their own naughtiness. Perhaps a legend in their own right, pour out a drink for our fallen sisters with this award. (in b4 it’s all the same person in 5 different variants.)
Winner: @lustforlife
Runner Up: @May
Other nominees: @Acid, @EARTHA, @lanaswildflowers
The Most Missed Sis award is for someone who isn't necessarily a banned member, but for one who hasn't been around for awhile. Who do you miss seeing? Who do you want to have their comeback era? Let them know through this award. (Don’t let former user May gaslight you into thinking they’re dead though.)
Winner: @COCC
Runner Up: @electra
Other nominees: @graham4anything, @past the bushes, @UltraHeroin
Whether it be because of their huge Lana collection, their knowledge of Lana’s life history, their frequency at live shows, or just their general massive appreciation for Lana, the Biggest Stan award will honour the true ride or die (bitch.)
“When will people be over her? I am a Hater.” Although this is a whole forum dedicated to Lana herself, we do have those members who give her a hard time, and that’s why I cross my fingers that Lana doesn’t visit here too often. Although I don’t endorse the hatred, perhaps the Biggest Lana Hater award can give a little hint-hint nudge-nudge to ease off… or just add more fuel to the fire.
Winner: @Xenoblade 3
Runner Up: @Jared
Other nominees: @lanasbottom, @Lustformoney, @The Love Witch
Although this is a Lana forum, we have plenty of members who are here solely for our entertainment section. A whole decade later, and the Charli XCX thread is still the largest thread on the site. So, who’s your favourite Angel? Your favourite Little Ferrari? Your favourite Diamond? Your favourite Crybaby? The Hybrid Fan award is our special thanks to a member who continues to visit, even if Lana isn’t their primary reason for their stay. Everyone is welcome a seat at the table.
Winner: @TrashMagiq
Runner Up: @paris texas
Other nominees: @boom like that, @SoftwareUpgrade, @The Siren
It’s no doubt that LanaBoards can be a war zone, and this award is for the member who always tries to keep the peace. Whether it be a moderator or an unofficial officer, let’s honour the member who walks into the depth of the fire to put out the flames with the Peace Keeper award. I’ll also be taking note of these nominees as possible future mods, or those mods who deserve an extra pat on the back. Appreciate ya.
The Attention Whore award is to give a gentle nudge that this place is in fact LanaBoards, not ____Boards. No disrespect here, just honesty.
Winner: @111
Runner Up: @DragonWhore
Other nominees: @lanaswildflowers, @paris texas, @Wait For Life
LanaBoards houses so much talent within our member base, and the Big Eyes Award - for Best Artist honours our true artists – whether it be for their physical or digital art, we truly have so much talent here. Will also be taking notes for future site theme design help xx
We have talent of all kinds here, including those who are masters of audio art! Whose remixes have tricked you into believing a demo of a Lana song leaked on the site that shall not be named? Who do you wish will be Lana’s next core producer? Let them know with the Jack Anti-noff Award - for Best Audio Artist, which has been retitled this year to suggest you could rival Mr. Antonoff for production credits on LDR10.
Winner: @plastiscguy
Runner Up: @PatentLeatherDoOver
Other nominees: @ts2003, @bigspender, @Glitter Boy
If LanaBoards had a dating app, who would be your super like? Who has you drooling in the Pictures of You thread? The Be My Daddy Award - for Hottest Member is to honour the hottest of the hot, whether you’re a daddy, mommy, or sexy enby.
Winner: @Elle
Runner Up: @Sportscruiser
Other nominees: @Mer, @mssainttropez, @Venice
As I do have to pay extra to keep the Blog section alive, you bet damn well I’m going to honour the members who actually use it. Perhaps the Self-Loathing Poet Award - for Best Blogger may even inspire others to make their life their poetry, aside from their lovemaking being their legacy (or whatever you like to post in there.)
Winner: @American Whore
Runner Up: @The Siren
Other nominees: @bloodydriver, @Pretty On The Indide, @paris texas
Whether it be someone who has a meltdown over every single Lana notification or just simply cannot hold themselves back from falling apart all over the boards letting their head spin like a ballerina, the Queen of Disaster Award - for Biggest Drama Queen is for them. A little extra dramatics never hurt anyone. Most of the time.
Winner: @111
Runner Up: @lanaswildflowers
Other nominees: @Fingertips, @lanasbottom, @Wait For Life
Which member’s posts give you continuous war flashbacks, the same kind of feeling you get whenever you see a picture of a typewritten message posted on IG? The Q.F.T.C Award - for Most Problematic Member is for them, and I hope their own QFTC proclamation awaits.
Winner: @111
Runner Up: @lanaswildflowers
Other nominees: @baddisease, @letterblue, @Wait For Life
Perhaps this is a member who is no stranger to the mod queue or one that maybe you think deserves to have their unhinged posts moderated before public view. (Disclaimer that the winner of the Mod Queue Award - for Most Annoying Member award will not actually receive mod queue for it lol. At least not yet, anyway.)
As Lana proclaimed at the 2015 Golden Globes Awards, “Well, I love drama!” Whether it be site-related drama or Lana-related drama, there is never a dry day in the Lana Fandom. The Drama of the Year award is for the little extra spice within the fandom that took the cake this year.
Winner: Lana's stolen computer
Runner Up: Sky Ferreira Thread
Other nominees: Acid's scat attacks, Dupegate, Prank phone call to Elle
Every year, there is always one certain thread that gives us that lust for life that keeps this site alive. The Thread of the Year award is to honour that thread and all the chaos and wonderfulness that ensued within it. We wouldn’t be without it.
Winner: Crazy For You - Pre-Leak Thread
Runner Up: LDR9 Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Other nominees: Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread, her, LanaBoards Lore Explained / LanaBoards With Context
Though our fruit basket of leaks wasn’t as bountiful this year as it has been in previous years, this award is still tradition. Which locked-away masterpiece that broke away from its chains wowed you this year? Whether it be a song we had been counting down the days for or a complete surprise, it’s only right that we honour these previously hidden gems with the Leak of the Year award.
Winner: Dragonslayer
Runner Up: Crazy for You
Other nominees: Bikini Gold, California, Cult Leader
Similar to the previous award, we weren’t blessed with too many officially released songs from Lana this year, but it is still proper to honour the ones that we did graciously receive with the Song of the Year award.
Winner: Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Runner Up: Buddy's Rendezvous (with Father John Misty)
Other nominees: Dayglo Reflection - Orchestral Version (with Bobby Womack), Snow on the Beach (with Taylor Swift), Watercolor Eyes
A new award! Not only do we stan an icon, but this site itself is iconic in its own right. Whether it’s something Lana herself did or something that happened on LanaBoards, the new Iconic Moment of the Year award will honour that top memory of the year that will forever live down in Lipster history.
Winner: Lana & Jack Donoghue posing outside of a prison
Runner Up: DYKTTATUOB Billboard in Tulsa
Other nominees: DYKTTATUOB Album Announcement, HOLA TV Album Pre-Announcement, Xmas triple leaks
This award is for our true living legend. Who truly made LanaBoards what it was this year? Let us bestow our honour upon this sacred member through the coveted Lipster of the Year award. We'll never forget you, like the tunnel under Ocean Blvd.
Year after year, it’s never truly dry in the Lipster community with all of the drama that may occur. Though these may not be the moments we necessarily look back on with a smile, they made the Lipster community what it is. The Drama of the Decade award will honour that moment, whether it be something that happened on the site or within the Lana fandom in general. I just know you all will have a field day with this one.
Winner: Question for the Culture
Runner Up: Lyric Anthology Book scam
Other nominees: Love leak/Ed calling Elle, PicsArt single cover arts, Scat attacks
With over 11,000 threads over the past decade, there is bound to be one iconic thread that will forever stick in our members’ minds and be revisited from time to time to relive those memories. Whether it be a Pre-Release thread, a Conversation Area Thread, or even a past Lipsters thread or anything else in between, The Thread of the Decade award is to honour an extra legendary thread, and all of the beautiful posts in it.
Winner: LDR Album Process Discussion
Runner Up: Charli XCX Thread
Other nominees: Chemtrails Over the Country Club - Pre-Release Thread, Norman Fucking Rockwell! - Pre-Release Thread, No Context LanaBoards
Although I refuse to fully acknowledge that leaks are a huge part of LanaBoards culture, it’s true that we wouldn’t be without them. With enough leaked songs to double Lana’s discography, the Leak of the Decade is to honour that one extra special song that got free.
*Any leaked Lana song, including demos and alternate versions, are eligible for this award*
Winner: Serene Queen
Runner Up: Life is Beautiful
Other nominees: Fine China, I Talk to Jesus, Unidentified Flying Bill
With over 100 officially released Lana Del Rey songs, we have truly been blessed over the past decade. (The Little Ferraris could never.) Without the music, who would we be? We're forever grateful for Lana and her art. The Song of the Decade award is to honour the best of the best.
*Any officially released Lana song, including songs from her albums, features on other artists' albums, soundtrack songs, stand-alone singles, etc., are eligible for this award.*
Winner: Venice Bitch
Runner Up: West Coast
Other nominees: Heroin, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it, Shades of Cool
Not only has Lana provided us with a bounty of songs over the past decade, but with some gorgeous visuals too! The Music Video of the Decade award is to honour your favourite video you replay like a movie, letting it move you. Hopefully, this award will manifest some gorgeous new videos for songs on the upcoming album.
*Any Lana Del Rey music video is eligible for this award. Sorry Lizzy stans, videos from that era aren’t eligible. Doesn’t matter anyway since we don’t even have the obvious winner QOTGS*
Winner: Ride
Runner Up: Chemtrails Over the Country Club
Other nominees: Born to Die, National Anthem, Shades of Cool
10 years of Lana Del Rey albums, and 8 gorgeous works to consider. (Yes, we’re including Paradise in this count for the sake of this award. Don’t let the LDR9/LDR10/LDRX debate continue here pls.) The Album of the Decade award is to honour the greatest LDR masterpiece. Let the album stan wars commence.
*Any Lana Del Rey album from 2012-present is eligible for this award*
Winner: Ultraviolence
Runner Up: Honeymoon
Other nominees: Born to Die, Lust for Life, Norman Fucking Rockwell
Similar to our new Iconic Moment of the Year Award, this decade award will specifically honour an iconic Lana Moment that occurred over the past 10 years. Whether it be a release, a performance, a photoshoot, a quote, or any other moment that lives rent-free in your mind, the Lana Moment of the Decade will honour our namesake living legend herself.
Winner: "I won't not fuck you the fuck up. Period." (Lana x Azealia Banks)
Runner Up: "U little fuckers" (Lana's response to Lust for Life leaking)
Other nominees: 2020 Grammys dress from the mall, "I'm not a furry. You guys are gross." (September 2019 Livestream), Million Dollar Man performance at Hackney Weekend
As mentioned earlier, not only is Lana iconic, but this place is as well! With nearly 1.5 million posts over the past 10 years, we’ve had countless craziness, silliness, and beautiful memories in between. The LanaBoards Moment of the Decade award will honour a special memory on LanaBoards that you all can look back on and smile. (Hopefully.)
Winner: Elle buying LanaBoards
Runner Up: Cassette Girl NFR Leaks
Other nominees: August 2020 Leakfest, LanaBoards x LDR Village Partnership, Lust for Life leaking
This will be the most coveted award we’ve ever offered. Over the past 10 weird and wonderful years on the site together, we’ve been graced with so many wonderful members who truly make this site what it is. Who is the true living legend that may even rival Lana for iconic status on LanaBoards? The Lipster of the Decade award will honour that very, very special someone.
I agree with both the people who are put off, and those who are titillated, with the "fuck me to death" line. However, the LDR apologist in me wants to suggest that what LDR is tapping into is the rather strange-bedfellow relationship between sex and death. Namely,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_petite_mort
I'm sort of familiar with it from some horror literature I read, which can be erotic at times (not familiar from real life, lol). FMTD line does indeed shock me, but the line that comes after shocks me even more: "Love me until I love myself". Well, ok. She obviously doesn't read (or like) Ayn Rand, and the significant other seems to have replaced God in these existential times. BTW, if God exists (or is at least sentient in the sense I am), It loves her. If I believe in It that way, I believe that.
As for her breasts ... she's been rather creative with them (e.g., that picture where she inverts the concept of bikini), but she's also been rather diverse in her public physical portrayal and fashion sense, which is a good role model for those who value diversity (IMHUO).
Due to my crazed obsession with this song (okay, it's really all LDR's songs but the southern-y ones in particular always get to me) I decided to go through and make corrections to these lyrics that I felt were more accurate. Please, please, please if they need altering in anyway do not hesitate to do so. I do trust my ears and the millions of times I've scream-sang these words in my car. Hope they help.

It’s a voodoo Mississippi south
Sixty-nine million stars
Birds are flying out of my mouth
Spirits creeping in my yard
Hold my head, it’s tilting back
Somethin' dancing me around
Putting crystals on our neck
Lifting my feet off the ground
The ground
Ray-ray-ray-raise me up
Ray-ray-ray-raise me up
Ray-raise me up
Ray-raise me up
Me up
Oh see, look what you've done now.
Oh, me, that’s what I’m talking ‘bout
Oh, me, look what you've done now.
Oh, me, it’s what I’m talking ‘bout
It’s what I’m talkin’ ‘bout
It’s what I’m talking about
Pick me up in a pickup truck
Roll it down, you’ve got it going on
Let me talk on your CB watt
Let me play with your new shotgun
Shotgun
