Overall rating: 5 stars First impression: I remember being so excited to go out and buy Born to Die. Just from browsing the Wikipedia page for the album, it caught my attention with all these really engaging titles, "Off to the Races" being one of them. It was so fresh and weird and wrong when I first heard. I remember just replaying it on the school bus and cringing at the luxury depicted but sort of treating it as a guilty pleasure. My memories of my discovery of this song are very different from my current feeling about Lana, but I was very excited at the time. I owe a lot to this song in getting me interested because a lot of the rest of the album didn't catch me at first. Impression now: I still love this song but many have outstripped it for a place on my list of favorites. I like to reminisce on the excitement but I have a much more casual reaction to it now. Songs I play along with it: "Blue Jeans" always sounds just right after it, but I've paired it with "Live or Die" in a playlist before What I like about it: The really daring vocal spectrum she shows, the rhythm to her delivery, the layering of the vocals in the verses ("glass room, perfume, Cognac, lilac FUMES", then when it goes back to just one voice with "says it feels like heaven to him") What I dislike about it: That it was never a single Memories I associate with this song: First discovering Lana, knowing nothing about her, being slightly ashamed of how into her I was Colors/images that come to mind: Red Favorite lyrics: "Sorry 'bout it!" Interpretation: A couple relishing a fast-paced lifestyle but simultaneously getting in too deep. The last part of the song becomes more tragic than any of the rest as recognition hits, which makes it a very effectively reminiscent song, both discussing the good times and the bad. I struggle with whether or not the extravagance is exaggerated.

I think the song name should be in the title so these can be easily navigable Before I go too in depth on the song, I love this interview, which may be the only one in which she actually mentions the song: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3224525245356 A must-watch for Lanalyzers.

Wow

OMG I always kinda sang along to that as "ooh yeah". Really cool!

Forever seething with jealousy at the interviewers who she casually plays a new song or a cappella demo for. I'd gear my questions heavily towards her new material rather than "so what about SNL/Summertime Sadness remix/etc" Plus try to once and for all get some statements on early leaks, for instance how she feels about the internet having access to Sirens. The ultimate goal being able to guide the conversation towards, "Fans have recognized some motifs in your work, such as a prisoner boyfriend..." or the like.

In other news she's having a terrible time so let's all lighten up http://operationgaga.com/topic/21556-gaga-enters-littlemonsters-chat-going-through-a-rough-point/

Trick! Everyone who votes out Brite Lites is ugly /notmyvote Smarty and Jump

Not to mention the full Electra Heart is already leaked and 4:41
-
They were and it was speculated that she didn't do it herself Which is why I think this Electra Heart thing might be unofficial
-
I think she means pop melodies with a punk sound. NTMT is still very electronic based. And Ariel Rechtshaid isn't working on Charli's new album as far as we know...

A new interview: http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jan/02/sky-ferreira-album-drugs-sexual-abuse-interview She mentions that Dev Hynes (the producer of EIE) is pissed at her
-
"White Lilies / White Lies" actually bops and I bought it Otherwise I'm just not into ~emotional rap~? Or her flow? But I tried y'all.
-
So true tbh. Okay my order: Weak Spot Water Me Ultraviolet Ache Papi Pacify Breathe Hide How's That - the only FKA song I don't like now
-
Now she's lying on the cold hard ground Reverse copying Lana-to-Taylor what an exchange
-
Here's what's wrong: The idea being that both of these perspectives are contradictory because the second one is decidedly anti-feminist
-
Well her first choice to call was "Dad"
