FUCK SOMEONE JUST LEAKED THE SONG!! I'M CRYING IT'S SO GOOD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALgUOB_rm8U

It wouldn't be a day on Lana Boards without a bunch of people arguing over the most irrelevant detail (And yes, it is a telescope, my bad)

Omg yes, you're right, her necklace is a little binocular design! Loving this cover so much

Hoping this serves me a West Coast vibe tbh, that song is still so iconic and literally slays my existence every time I hear it

Even though I don't listen to The Weeknd, the live snippet you posted sounds really good so I'm quite excited for this!!

me too please

Faker than Nicki's ass & Lana's lips, lmao who seriously believes this vomited up mess??

I agree. But it's not your place to say what is best for Lana's health. And more than anything, I was criticising the fact that you were being judgmental of her appearance when she is clearly at a healthy weight. For all we know, Lana could be hitting the gym every day, but it's just not giving results. Weight =/= health.

Please don't bash her based solely on her appearance/weight. "Can't hit the gym?" It seems like you are implying she is out of shape and I can't tell if you're actually being serious or not. Because she is at a very healthy weight right now. Yeeesh, some of y'all can be so judgmental sometimes. Give Lana a break, at the end of the day, she's a musician, not a model, and it's kinda disgusting that such a big Lana fan feels the need to make snarky comments based on her weight…

same eww

Me too please. Thanks xxxx

Still wish there was an official Honeymoon (single) cover, or at least some sort of new photoshoot that was released around the release of Honeymoon (the song) so that we could make a fan made cover. Like, I'm using a fan made cover of a UV shoot because there's literally been no shoots this era yet… what a mess

I'mma be so mad if there's a song called "Dark Blue" omg like "Burnt Norton" isn't a bad enough song title….

I hope Lana never comes on the Boards, y'all are so judgmental of Lana sometimes. I thought her outfit was super cute and she looked really mature and elegant (Yeah, those shoes aren't the best but it's not that big of a deal really…)

Still not over the fact that you're straight tbh. I guess I just assume all us guys on here are gay, oops

Omg I just saw the snake. Can't believe no one picked that up until now! I hope she doesn't just repeat Tropico though with the same kinds of imagery this era, like you said.

wtf is going on with this thread??? y'all are crazy af

Soap is such a good song tbh, it's gotten me hooked on Melanie lately. I wrote a long-ass analysis of Soap on my Instagram, I thought I'd post it here also while I'm at this thread…. For those of you who think "Soap" by Melanie Martinez is cheap, pointless or pretentious, please hear me out. Firstly, she didn't literally write a song about soap. The watery phrases are simply metaphors and similes to explain something much deeper. The song is not about having a bath. The song is not about drowning, as some like to believe after watching the music video. Melanie is actually trying to explain how she felt after speaking up about something she had been holding in for so long. In an interview, she said the song was inspired by the way she felt after she told a boy that she had feelings for him, although the song can really be interpreted as telling any secret/sharing any kind of feelings that have been suppressed. Melanie sings about washing her mouth out with soap to explain how she regrets expressing her thoughts to someone, not because she literally wants to eat it. If you've ever done it before, you'd be aware that putting soap in your mouth isn't the most pleasant experience, and so she uses this phrase to show how distasteful her own experiences have been. She has many other lyrics relating to the wet theme, where her words are compared to water, for example: "I said too much, it overflowed"/"I think I left the faucet running" both explain how like too much water in a sink will create a mess, saying more words than you probably should can be disastrous too. There are plenty of other lyrics that further develop the song, but I think you get the gist from what I've written. Yes, "Soap" is a very strange and quirky song, and perhaps that means that it will only appeal to some - and that's fair enough, you don't consciously make the choice to like or dislike a melody; we can't help it if we don't like a particular chord progression, it's just a natural stance - but please don't write it off as vapid, because as I've pointed out, it has a much deeper meaning than you might suspect.

Y'all forgot lemonade for your beverages list lmao... "Crying tears of gold, like lemonade" - Ultraviolence "Lana Del Rey, will you serve me lemonade?" - Trash (Magic) "They say make lemonade out of lemons & I tried but I can't understand it" - Starry Eyed

Carmen is the worst song on BTD (the production is awful)

Dreams - Fleetwood Mac (Idk why but I had a dream that Lana was singing this and it was pure heaven)

The Born to Die track list is so frustrating at points. Mainly Diet Mountain Dew shouldn't have followed Video Games (it goes from a really slow, calm beautiful ballad to a fast-paced hip-hop piece, which doesn't work in my opinion). Also, Carmen and Lucky Ones would have much different productions (I much prefer the demos of these songs tbh).

This is a good theory, I never thought of Life is Beautiful in that way. Perhaps her lover is simply "dead" metaphorically, as opposed to being literally dead, although either make sense in terms of the ideas you proposed.

Still not loving this title at all. "Norton" sounds like a person's name and every time I hear the title I think of a person named Norton being burnt over a campfire. Omg that sounds so morbid but it won't leave my head
