I shouldn't be laughing at this last page as hard as I am Okay--I love the bouncy curls towards the end where she's screaming at the guy, you know the "I am fucking crazy" part. She's just damn beautiful.

It counts how many likes your posts receive total.

*checks flier* Oh, it doesn't actually say anything about the vocals, just the rest. Got it

That's funny as fuck. I hope she uses it for her stage setup. Encouraging her ridiculousness.

Imagining, like, a statue of the Virgin Mary...I guess that could make sense. I'm going to definitively change it to "past" and "crack house"--without crack house, the song actually doesn't seem to have much of a meaning beyond serious ambiguity and buying coffee. But those two words suddenly make it dark.

I think that's what lyric sites have, too, but it doesn't make much sense... She has another song called "Greenwich", have to wonder the significance of that...

I'm pretty sure it's like videos, [ media ] [ /media ]

Controversy Aw, you guys don't like the ugly guys? It kinda gives me a giggle. I like that she just fucking went for it.

Good enough, your song titles have had me screaming with delight so far.

I felt sad because of the way she's forced to think, especially in light of her fame...I think the monologue basically said she finally felt happiness and freedom after watching all her dreams and expectations of fame turn into something else entirely. A good perspective, but sad that's she's driven to that. I'm glad there wasn't any death. Years from now, when she better still be making music, I want to look back at the deaths in the Born to Die videos and feel fond of the theme--because that was the album, Born to DIE. I don't want it to become a schtick, which it would if she kept doing it. But for the whole era in a grand scheme, it was pretty cool.

Let the praise or backlash begin.

See, that's just not grammatically correct. And I know it's in the digital booklet, but to be fair the booklet would also have you believe it's "Stealing police guys with the senior guys" rather than "police cars".

Tbh. No, that's a really good question. She hasn't even alluded to anything of the sort since "Next to Me" yeeeeaaars ago. But suddenly with the Paradise Edition, we've got this other woman business in the monologue and I know your wife, she wouldn't mind in "Cola"...and Bradley Soileau is married to Porcelain Black. It makes the most sense, for the time being--except for the fact that in "Cola" she also says "I gots a taste for men who are older", and Bradley is younger than her.

Frankly it's just for a couple seconds of the video, so I doubt she's making any sort of statement. Sorry. Now: Is it disrespectful or her to wrap herself up in the American flag?

When will you give me deets?

What emotion were you trying to express? @Neal: They gave out fliers with the monologue and her holding the flag on them at the premiere.

Welcome! I took that video, I'm feeling super famous right now.

I'll frame it and everything

I like this monologue because it's about as personal as she's gotten. Her interviews are usually cut-and-paste from past interviews and songs are less straightforward. I think it makes the video.

I got an extra, I'll trade you for the extra box-set you got. Plus some money if you want since it's not quite equal. I'm not kidding.

Did anyone record it?

She says on the back of the letter with the monologue that was handed out at the premiere that it was recorded in California... I'll upload it when I get home.

TPD, I'm SURE there's "st" sound in the Mary line. I'd believe crack house, but phonetically it sounds like an "ay" sound--which, yeah, she does in her country accent. I also think I hear the "th" for "that's", but I'd bet on "past".

Lemme reevaluate, I sincerely hope she sings "crack house" in such a beautiful song
