    This is easily in my top-10 Lana songs. It's truly beautiful. 
     
    I recently introduced my Mum to Lana Del Rey and she told me a story of how her friend was at the same psychiatric ward as David Bowie's half-brother, Terrence (Terry). Apparently David would come to visit him regularly and they would talk about art, spirituality, and poetry (this was during the 1970s, I think). They were incredibly close, and David was apparently extremely down to earth, kind, and gentle. 
     
    The way the song switches between the story of David and Terry and then Lana and herself, Lana and Barrie — so incredibly heartbreaking. The bridge makes me sob every single time.
     
    The bridge: 

    "I put the radio on, hold you tight in my mind
    Isn't strange that you're not here with me
    I'm putting all the lights on and the television
    Trying to transmit, can you hear me?"
     
    Reminds me of this part of Fingertips: 

    "To get to you, save you if I take my life
    Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
    Give you two seconds to cry
    Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
    Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side"
     
    Both trying desperately to reach out beyond this world to someone who isn't there anymore ...

    Thinking about the song's bridge a lot lately. One of her top best bridges, it's so perfect!

    It just says unsafe content over and over again for me no matter how many of her name variations I try ... I even tried Lizzy Grant and Elizabeth Grant  All other unrelated prompts works fine ... Let me know if Lana works for you

    Looks like they have blocked Lana's name again for me

    @Embach gave it another 2 tries but... Well. Somehow it works better with other settings.

    I had a thought last night to try some Honeymoon vibes with wisteria, I thought it would be pretty
    Not too crazy about any of the pics, it kept doing a mediocre job at her face but I thought I'd share a few of the better ones anyway
    Edit: actually, i really like them. I think i'm just being overly critical of the "less good" ones I didn't post bc there were so many subpar ones

    I LOVE all the LFL album trailer ones. She is so heavenly in that 50s sci fi aesthetic

    As a writer and ex-artist (well, we're all still artists at heart, but now it's just a hobby!) I understand the dislike and ethical implications. But it's so fun seeing everyone's imaginative takes! I'm kind of inspired to make some Love and Music to Watch Boys To-esque ones

    I know that feeling ... I have no time for painting anymore And having Lana as a live model would be a dream that will never happen, so this will have to do! 
    The "create" button is greyed out and it shows this message: 
    "Thank you for your patience
    The team is working hard to fix the problem. Please try again later."
     
    It was happening to me yesterday too. I don't know why. 
     
    If it's this one you mean; 

     
    I used this prompt for Lana: "cinematic Lana Del Rey with long straight hair, center part, small black bow on the top of her head, long cat eyeliner ...[describe scene]" but getting that Lust for Life look was pure luck because some came out really badly 
     
    They are stunning!

    Now you've put this thought in my head, I need it to become a reality because it would be just too good
