    Just when I arrive to give Mermaid Motel small praise as a bop, I see Born to Legend slander.

     

    Phags. :imbeingsarcasticbitch2:

     

    No I'll praise Born to Die right now :defeated:

     

     

    I like Born to Die, I listen to it all the time. It kind of upsets me when I see people say they don't listen to it anymore because all opinions should align with mine :P I certainly prefer AKA, and I prefer it by a lot...but I think it's kind of popular round these parts to say BTD is total shit and she can do better, but I really love, like...10/15 songs. Which is kind of a good score if you consider I like "Lolita" and "Diet Mountain Dew" in other forms. The only ones that I usually skip are Dark Paradise, Radio, and Lucky Ones. It's good on it's own merits.

     

    It would do all of us a lot of good to stop wishing she'd recreate the magic she had on AKA. In short, she just doesn't want to, and her new stuff is magical in its own way.

    I suspect that anything that could have been done to Yayo, no mater what, would be viewed as an abomination simply because it’s not the AKA version. Why do we have to look at it as a better/worse situation though? It’s a different tone and mood that is captured in the new recording. Do you find it worse because of reasons having to do with the arrangement, production, and performance, or is worse simply because it’s not the version you have always loved?

     

    It just seems too mumbly and echo-y to me. I guess the difference is that I don't prefer her live vocals. I'm hoping something about the full version will redeem it. I suppose part of me is judging it compared to the original, because she's being more varied and experimental with the melody and I can't sing along to it :P The "dark trailer park" part in particular just rubs me wrong.

    Oh my god, she TOTALLY DATED ARTHUR LYNN.

     

    He came from Greenwich. In an interview, she said the DMD chorus came from a boyfriend on a road trip to Greenwich. "Greenwich" is an unreleased song title. "Axl Rose Husband" has both "Greenwich, I need you" as a lyric and fucking "RECORD EXECUTIVE, I NEED YOU", AS IN A CERTAIN RECORD EXECUTIVE OF THE FLOPPED DIET MTN DEW RECORDS!

     

    LEMON PIE, YOU THE BOSS.

    That line is just so stupid. Lights? Really?

    I'm sorry, but "Baby, we're on fire" is a prettier and more descriptive line than "all the lights mean nothing without you" like, that is seriously more generic than any line in Lucky Ones.

    Actually, "All my dreams and all the lights mean nothing without you" is pretty powerful, coming from the person/character of Lana Del Rey. Falling in love is to her, what immortality is to some. (See Last Girl on Earth.)

     

    PrettyBaby has spoken :legend:

     

    Lights equates to fame, stages, etc. Of course.

    I can find my own way, thank you very much. :creep:

    She sings that sucsess or whatever means nothing without this person, wich is basically just really, really stupid. If she didn't sing those like 4 lines, the song would maybe be okay. For that matter, a line in Video Games is stupid too, so I really can't stand that song either. The only reason Video Games have any plays are 'cause it's my "sleep" playlist. :facepalm:

     

    "All my dreams and all the lights mean nothing without you" is a nice lyric and I can't even figure what's worth attacking about it (unless we're gonna have another feminist argument about how she shouldn't be so reliant on love or whatever, which let's not)--sure it's not genius, but it's nice perspective of her fame-chasing, especially with the addition of "they all think I have it all". It's even easier to attack other lyrics in the song. I'll admit, "Am I glamourous, tell me, am i glamourous?" is not her finest hour. But that chorus? Interested to know what's so heinous about it. It's certainly not worse than anything in "Lucky Ones", let's be one-hundred percent real on that one.
