I understand how you feel. But it's a great way for her to gain even more respect as a songwriter. Did you like ULTRAVIOLENCE? Honeymoon wasn't bad, it was just less dramatic than her other albums. I think that's why lots of fans were disappointed.
-
Oh and on another note I think she should start writing for other mainstream artists. She can really write and she can definitely bring some substance into the Top 40. Songs like Puppy Love, Serial Killer, MMITPM, Prom Song, etc, showcase her writing abilities for more pop oriented music. She could easily write songs for artists like Britney, Selena Gomez, etc just like Charli XCX does.

She already declined. But her sales are quite impressive for her, someone who doesn't really promote. In terms of quality, no. 'Honeymoon' is NOT a bad album and has some of the best songs she's ever written such as the title track, 'Terrence Loves You', and 'God Knows I Tried', even the 'The Blackest Day' is up there! The album is enjoyable though I don't listen to it as much as the others. Her best album is Ultraviolence, and I think she should go back to making Rock influenced pop music again. It really suited her, her image, her voice, her lyrics, etc. I may be biased, because I love Lana a lot, as a person. I will always support her by showing her positivity, constructive criticism, and of course purchasing her music. For the fans who are less than impressed nowadays, I don't see the point in complaining. Just move on from her if you feel that way.

Part of me feels like she likes it better this way. She's already said that the backlash she received during Born To Die deeply affected her. I feel like some of her fans think she's less self-aware than she actually is. She said she knows people judged her for her appearance, which is true. She said she knows the general opinions about each of her albums, too. You also forget she's been the victim of stalking at the hands of her own fans. People even hacked her and uploaded her personal photos on Instagram numerous times. For such a small star she is, she certainly has a handful of wack jobs who keep a very close eye on her. Another example of are those DailyMail people who stalk her on the beach, they've been doing so for almost a month now. I mean there's at least 4 different sets of photos of her sunbathing, undressing, etc. This girl can't catch a break. Which is ironic because yes her fan base has only gotten smaller since Born To Die. Yet the shit that happens to her at the hands of fans and paparazzi has only become more drastic.

Which song best represents "Lana Del Rey"
BabyTonight replied to PrettyLies's topic in Lana Thoughts
Video Games Gods and Monsters Ride Summertime Sadness Freak West Coast Florida Kilos -
I voted Ultraviolence because that album changed me as a person and as a music listener. Everything about UIltraviolence - for me - was something I never knew I even needed. A painfully tragic and beautiful album. Ultraviolence birthed some of my favorite Lana Del Rey songs of all time with Brooklyn Baby, Florida Kilos, Flipside and Old Money. Her style during Ultraviolence was also very simple, old school and glamorous which I adored. The themes and topics that were touched in the album is what really gets me. In "Old Money" when she sings, "Will you still love me when I shine from words but not from beauty?" - I adore this lyric so much. This was probably so personal for her because she's drop dead gorgeous and gathered so much attention for it. But even if you take that away from her you still have a girl who's actually a BEAUTIFUL poet and writer in general. "Florida Kilos" changed my life. I remember when I first played it in August (yes I waited that long to listen to it) and something about the repetition of "yayo" just got me hooked. I felt like I was in a trance. Such a gorgeous song ironically about drugs but I definitely fantasized about doing yayo myself and when I did for the first time, this song was definitely in mind.

What has Lana done for you and how has she changed you?
BabyTonight replied to Divisive Princess's topic in Lana Thoughts
She inspires me everyday in every way. I don't want to go into depth about it. But I love her. I love her as a person. I think she is, in all honesty, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She's my "Madonna", my "Marilyn" even. I love her so much. I just can't quit saying it. I love her. I love Lana. -

Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
BabyTonight replied to Monicker's topic in Lana Thoughts
It's possible she wasn't speaking to her parents but still maintained relationships with her siblings. As far as her not having money, I remember reading somewhere that her father sent her money in the mail but she never took them. Maybe one of her other siblings did, or they also got their own money? Also one of the AKA producers said she didn't have a penny on her with he was working with her. She probably moved into the trailer park because that's where her boyfriend was living, and her boyfriend clearly didn't have much. From personal experience, she's probably exaggerating it, or lived "poor" for a short period of time. I doubt they are complete lies. -

For someone strange reason I thought it was whip me up. But lick me up or pick me up makes more sense since she's referring to herself as a vitamin. I'm so dumb. imtipsy sorry

I love the Flipside cover, but I feel like it should be in black and white. The Is This Happiness cover is gorgeous and simple. The Old Money, Sad Girl and The Other Woman covers all gorgeous as well. Really love TOW cover. The last Ultraviolence cover is so pretty and simple. If I didn't have OCD I would use it as in my iTunes.

Lana Song You're Currently Obsessed With
BabyTonight replied to LifeisBeautiful's topic in Lana Thoughts
Terrence Loves You Old Money That's it for right now. I've been really loving Miley's new album lately, so it's all I've been listening to. -
Radio has always confused me. Is it whip me up, pick me up or lick me up? The world may never know. It's not you say get over here?

Is there a male version of that shirt? I really love it. I really loved the shirts she wore for the Neil Krug shoot. Anyone know where I can find these exact shirts?

People were underwhelmed with HBTB. Not everyone but a good majority of the fan base was. I wouldn't say HBTB is up there for me, though. It's a good song. It's "up there" with Burning Desire, sure.
-
I feel like she's tried everything. Or her obsession with drugs like cocaine and meth just stem from her ex-boyfriends addictions. But it's more than likely she's tried these drugs herself.

LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships
BabyTonight replied to Sitar's topic in Lana Thoughts
I believe all of the bonus tracks on Ultraviolence are about Barrie besides Florida Kilos. Guns N Roses, Is This Happiness and Flipside is kind of a Barrie trilogy. -
1: When did you first discover Lana Del Rey: When Video Games blew up 2: What was the first song that made you fall in love with her music: Video Games! 3: Favorite Lana hairstyle: That real big beauty queen style. Or just straight hair, parted down the middle. 4: Favorite live performance: Radio or Without You from Concert Prive in 2012 (I think that's the year) 5: Favorite lyric: So many... I don't know if I can choose. I'll give you when off the top of my head that I can fully relate to: "Heavy metal love of mine, I should have learned to let you stay. You didn't want me all the time, but you were worth it anyway." 6: Would you make out with Lana if you had the chance to? No but I'd give her pecks! 7: Favorite facial feature?: Her lips and her nose. 8: What's one thing you don't like about Lana? I like everything about her. 9: Have you ever met Lana? No. 10: Who's your favorite artist after Lana? Britney Spears 11: Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan? Obsessed. 12: What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her? Yes, daddy.

Lana Song You're Currently Obsessed With
BabyTonight replied to LifeisBeautiful's topic in Lana Thoughts
I wouldn't like Lana reworking any AKA songs into a new album. Her newer songs structure are way better than AKAs. The only songs I would like seeing her redo are probably Jump or Pawn Shop Blues but only if it goes thematically with Honeymoon, or whichever project/album. And your friend is trash! All your favorites are mine too, I love those bonus tracks. I resonate so much with Flipside, and I haven't stopped listening to Florida Kilos since... August. Also Brooklyn Baby is a personal favorite of mine. God, ULTRAVIOLENCE is so tainted for me. Don't even get me started on Guns and Roses, I can't even listen to it anymore. I really like Live or Die V2 tbh! You can be my Tony Mantana and I can be your Pfeiffer, fire -
Um, all versions are perfect. Not filler at all. Agree but I enjoy the bridge I think The Other Woman is a good album closer for those first 10 tracks and Flipside is a good album closer for those 5 bonus tracks. But when you listen to the album all together, it definitely makes more sense after listening to those bonus songs, especially after ITH.

LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships
BabyTonight replied to Sitar's topic in Lana Thoughts
you're reaching, your honor. k was probably dead or locked up before that song was even thought of! fans shouldn't try to crack the K case. there's probably NO evidence of him existing besides in lanas songs. just leave him alone tbh! may he RIP in peace or serve a good jail sentence.
