The most annoying and insufferable people are either “NFR! is her best” and “post-LFL are the worst works and pre-NFR! are masterpieces”… truly no in between i’d have to say… sometimes i tend to act like the first latter though…

Woah i swear this whole time on the wiki it was said to be produced by auerbach… she must’ve rethinked alot about putting that composition on the album or not…

David Kahne - 21 Emile Haynie - 10 Dan Heath - 13 Dan Auerbach - 15 Blake Stranathan - 6 Rick Nowels - 18 Zach Dawes - 8 Barrie-James O’Neill - 11

How do you add an embedded link to a photo? Imagecc is no longer working since…

on an interview w 411mania, justin parker said by the time of the interview uploading (april 19 2012)- they’d written 12 songs, 5 of which made its way to the album born to die, video, national, carmen, radio (5) ; ) unreleased known to be written w him (prior to 2012) wild one, velvet crowbar, paradise (2011 only as a writer no producer), on our way, puppy love, last girl, dum dum, and maybe ride - it is 7 including ride but it could’ve been written later on - i could also be wrong about wild one maybe it was written later as well - if we exclude wild one (ride was speculated to be a 2011 song) and include never let me go- a song which is speculated to be actually produced by him, we have 7…

She took a notice for Heroin finally how i missed nerdy lana…;) #chaostheory

Every day I woke up with new breath and the first thing i thank for is the person who added the muted electric guitar on the second chorus of Margaret… heavenly

2007… that tropical sound (waimea pinup galore mermaid motel demo kill kill)

Happy to be seeing Margaret getting all her love and flowers : ) took months for people to love it but i’ve been an OG and been on my top 3 ever since the record dropped❤️

Man im just so fucking disappointed. Two decades built of your legacy and personally ruined in about a week. Im still hoping she changes her mind… ugh… fck.

Lana did give me that on ocean personally

Made sense but i was searching for crooked cop on ldr wiki and it says the original file is called 05 crooked cop and it belongs to an album named pods 2007… made me wonder

What pods 2007 and audio pod 2009 means?

Mars Argo?

At what second may i ask/know?

That’s all that i have … : )

Journal de femmes July 23, 2017 So you don’t know what your next project will be?
 There are so many leaked songs that I was thinking of making a CD with my favorites, but I wouldn’t want that to distract. I also left out five planned songs on ‘Lust for Life’ for a specific reason. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to leave them for the future. And I had started a mixtape with duets, a hip-hop thing, but I think I’ll mostly focus on touring for now, since I’m already on the road. I prefer to let myself be carried away! I like to act at the last minute. I can’t stand the pressure of things planned in advance. It’s so much easier when someone says “Why not tomorrow?” and I answer yes. comment: before the amoeba show on the 26, lana herself had already thoughts of releasing an unreleased songs album but had disagreements as well within… a hip hop thing? That “get dark” snippets sound fittingly into that description if that was indeed recorded after lust KROQ July 31, 2017 Is that a conscious choice? No, I feel like the melodies and the production were just following what I had been thinking about for the last-year-and-a-half. I kind of thought I knew where the record was going, and then 14 months into it, it took a turn for me stylistically, so I wasn’t really sure where we were going to end up. Does it scare you a little bit when the process takes a turn? Yeah. Actually, it’s never really done that so much. Quite so much for me as I did with this one. Are you easily open that kind of thing? I don’t think I was before, but I was with this one.

Beats 1 July 12, 2017 It feels like this [Bummer and Groupie], it’s a very centerpiece of the tracklisting. It goes to this moment when both these songs are kind of a brother and sister or whatever, it’s hard to say, and then, it kind of takes you somewhere else. Is that very deliberately? Yeah, definitely. My tracklisting changed a lot in the last three months. There’s a couple songs, ‘White Mustang’, ‘Cherry’, ‘Summer Bummer’, and ‘Groupie Love’, and then, even ‘Coachella’ a little bit. And I feel like that middle section has a lot of fire in it even though it’s not that fast. But the beats are pretty hard. How did you feel when you heard that finished? When you knew it was done and whether it was Emile or Rick or someone played you the final mix? Well, to be completely honest, final, final mix was not that long ago, because it changed right before we started printing it to vinyl. It actually changed a lot in the mix. So I was actually kind of nervous. But that’s one of the ones I felt changed last minute for the better. Are you getting ready for all to kick off? The road and all that stuff? Do you feel the momentum building now? Because I know you have festivals lined up throughout the summer, but has it been necessarily a world tour announced now or anything? No. I wasn’t really planning to start everything in April. POPLINE July 14, 2017 How do you differentiate ‘Lust for Life’ from ‘Ultraviolence’, ‘Honeymoon’, and ‘Born to Die’? I think my main influence on ‘Lust for Life’ began with the concept of the word “lust”, but in a more complete way. Not just the concept of desire as for example with a boyfriend, but something more malleable and romantic. Like vibrations. That would be so much more comfortable than anything I’ve done so far. When I started producing ‘Lust for Life’, I wanted the album to be quieter in nature. I still have some harder things in some songs. As for example, in the bands with A$AP Rocky, I feel that there is still a bit of aggression and this caught me by surprise. I’m fine, but it still reflects a lot of what I feel and how I am.

Complex June 26, 2017 This is the first one where you’re smiling. But this was definitely in an even more lighter space altogether. My sister Chuck shot it, but we shot it in the parking lot behind the scenes of my ‘Love’ video. We didn’t know if we were going to get the cover, but we definitely knew I was going to smile. We took a couple frames, and we developed it that week, and I felt like that was the one. comment: i remember not too long ago i saw an interview saying that in january 2016 lana already had thoughts of the album cover being her smiling… lust has always been “wanting to be better/positive” record it seems like it

BBC NEWS May 27, 2017 (sorry it was 27 not 28 *earlier post*) - The new record is completed. How long did it take you to make this record? It took me two years to make this record. - It’s a really long record. I couldn’t leave anything out. It’s currently 18 tracks long. Around late may 2017 ben confirmed to fan that lana still need to place more songs/figure out the songs (along the lines of that) *a fan asked why lust didnt drop on may 26 as it was promised*

Dazed March 2017 I love this new song. Thank you. It doesn’t sound that retro. The last 16 months, things were kind of crazy in the US and in London when I was there. I was just feeling like I wanted a song that made me feel a little more positive when I sang it. And there’s an album that’s going to come out in the spring called “Lust for Life”. (Earliest known mention of the sentence “Lust tor Life”.) I do. I like him. [Tomorrow Never Came] I don’t know if you’ve ever felt this way, but when I wrote it, I felt like it wasn’t really for me. I kept on thinking about who this song was for or who could do it with me. And then, I realized that he would be a good person. Actually, I had listened to his records over the years and I did think it was his vibe, so I played it for him, and he liked it. He rewrote his verse and had extensive notes, down to the mix. And that was the last thing I did, decision-wise. I haven’t mixed the record, but the fact that ‘Love’ just came out and Sean kind of finished up the record, it felt very meant-to-be. No. I’ve always wanted to work with Max Martin. [LFL title track] I felt like it was a big song, but it wasn’t right. I really liked the title. I liked the verse. John Janick was like, “Why don’t we just go over and see what Max Martin thinks?” So, I flew to Sweden and showed him the song. He said that he felt really strongly that the best part was the verse and that he wanted to hear it more than once, so I should think about making it the chorus. So I went back to Rick Nowels’s place the next day and I was like, “Let’s try and make the verse the chorus”, and we did, and it sounded perfect. That’s when I felt like I really wanted to hear Abel sing the chorus. So he came down and he rewrote a little bit of it. But then I was feeling like it was missing a little bit of The Shangri-Las element, so I went back for a fourth time and layered it up with harmonies. Now I’m finally happy with it. [Laughs] But we should do something, soon.

Les Inrockuptibles March 28-June 2017 How do you know or feel when you’re ready for a new album? If I’m not occupied with mixing in the end of the creation of an album, I continue to write. For example, two songs from the new album were composed during the finalizing of the predecessor. How about ‘Lust for Life’? Four songs on the album reference Los Angeles, but the mood and aesthetic are definitely not West Coast-like. Songs like ‘Tomorrow Never Came’ and ‘Yosemite’ pick up the sounds of 70s folk. And if I would have to create an album concept in a day, it would surround the legendary Laurel Canyon particularly. comment: life imitates art! Lanz was still working on lust while unconsciously erected her vision of norman… wonder what “get dark” means… that’s a very lust/pop sounding song and was said to be recorded on sept 2017 - 2 months after lust’s release

Radio 1 February 25, 2017 Tell me about the new record. As the climate kept on getting more heated politically, I found, lyrically, everything was just directed towards that. So because of that, the sound just got really updated, and I felt like it was more wanting to talk to the younger side of the audience I have. That’s kind of a global feeling. comment: before this date lana has teased political views on lust - but i think sept 2016 was when she truly wants to really speak out of that topic. 19 feb 2016 - elle uk event where lanz talked about having to learn more about the new candidates 27 sep 2016 - she encouraged her fans to watch the debate nov 2016-jan 2017 - recorded gba and world at war throughout late 2016 and early 2017 lanz posted various photos of the new US presidency on insta

Billboard February 14, 2016 (Red hair Sharon Tate style) Is it a different direction from the last one? Yeah. But I don’t know if you’d really know, because it has more to do with a clarity of inner dialogue that I feel like is coming through better. How about the music? It's kind of in the same aesthetic. comment: I’m certainly pessimist about lfl originally being dark as this was one of the earliest mention of a future record which she talks of moving forward positively… maybe the right word is “quiet” not “dark”… as lanz herself said

NME November 2015 Your three Lana Del Rey album have been very Californian in sound and imagery. But Lana Del Rey is from New York. Will you ever make a record like that again? I feel like ‘Born to Die’ had a lot of New York feel in it because I was in New York leading up to the time that the record came out and while I was working on it. I find it very easy to go back and forth between a New York state of mind and a California way of being, so I could see me making another New York record. I think it would be different, just because it would be a little harder, faster, more upbeat, and less dreamy. How long do you think you’ll wait until the next record? Any early thoughts on where you’d like to go with it? I do have early thoughts about what I’d like to do with it. My label Interscope is pretty flexible and open to my records coming out at any time, so I don’t have that pressure. I’m just happy to be able to keep on making music I can stand behind. That’s enough for me.
