    .....indian. headdress. ..... :whoopi: ....the fuck lana? She's gonna get some back lash for that one in the native country.

     

    other than that sounds fucking incredible.

     

    I know, my friends and I were talking about how ridiculous that part kind of was. Visually, it was top-notch.

     

     

    How could I have forgotten? She said she was misinterpreted when asked about quitting music and the Vogue Australia interview. She said she meant doing music for films, not acting in them. When pressed, she said that she thought the Paradise Edition was much better than Born to Die and was basically really happy with it. I'm hoping that means she's optimistic, not that she's said what she had to say.

    I was basically saying that you need to sit down with your basic-ass so I can have some twerking spotlight... unless you want to join! Shit, we could have a twerk party, I don't even care as long as I can shake it to Let's Have a Kiki. I put it on my iPod and I've been listening to it all morning along with CAKE LIKE LADY GAGA. I am such a white boy. :toofloppy:

     

    NO. I AM NOT A WHITE BOY. THERE IS A BODACIOUS BLACK WOMAN INSIDE OF ME READY TO GET DOWN.

     

     

     

    I am here for some tandem twerking, HDB.

     

    BTW,

    *Exclusive announcement*

    I'm using that DJWS beat on the mixtape. The song is called "HitchCock"

     

    Badass! I was wondering if you were doing anything with any Gaga songs because you're covering a lot of bases of my faves already (Azealia, Lana) but I didn't know if you like Gaga.

    I've been asked to talk about this experience by several people, and I'm deliriously tired from having just gotten home, but I'll try, although other people on the forum actually have, like, photographic evidence.

     

    I made it into the first showing, and I was one of the last people. She was playing "Ride", which seemed like standard procedure for it's premiere, so I wasn't paying much attention. And then a new song starts and I hear the words "crystal meth", so I'm flailing and demanding how this can be happening. It was "American", and it's my understanding that before I arrived they played a lot more of the songs. I did record it, but you can clearly hear me talking at parts where I thought I was being quiet...I'll upload it anyway, if it won't get snatched off YouTube. Plus, I don't want to be ridiculed by desperate YouTube stans :P Distinct lyric: "Drive fast, I can almost taste it now."

     

    So after "American", they introduced Lana Del Rey. She got onstage and laughed, you know the laugh. She said how grateful she was that she had all these fans who'd show up to an event that wasn't even a concert, and basically alluded to how the fans make it so much better in light of the backlash she's experienced. We all had a moment.

     

    She then introduced the video with Anthony Mandler. She started making her way to the very back--where she sat watching it--but in the process was swarmed. Not even gonna lie, I made my way right into that cluster. She's so much more delicate than I ever imagined. Just how tiny her body is and how doll-like her face is. Mostly I kinda went "BLAGH LANA" and side-hugged her and caressed her hair. She's beyond stunning in person, even in jeans. Especially in jeans.

     

    I'll tell you now so you don't get excited that all my attempts to get some personal Lana on Chance time were pretty much dashed--I asked for a signature twice and she only said that she couldn't, which was understandable because she was walking but DAMN. I'm such a dork, I just kinda reached out and touched her arm as she was walking by and she looked back at me. That's not the extent of our conversing, but I don't have any signatures or pictures.

     

    The video. THE VIDEO. It's nearly indescribable, but I'll try. The whole time she's with a lot of skeezy men--like, three or four on different occasions. All older, rugged, ugly, and bikers. I really need you guys to see it because it's so good. Of course I have some bias, having seen it projected in a theater, but cinematically I think it's her best. NO INSTAGRAM FILTERS ON THIS ONE, THANK GOD. In short, she's partying in the desert with some bikers, straddling several dudes in the sand and pointing guns at them, indeed swinging on this mysterious tire swing, hanging out at a gas station, playing pinball with a biker sort of spooning her, getting into a car like a prostitute. It's Americana, it's trash, it's beautiful. It's Lana. What can I say? It's exquisite. She's on all fours for the ending monologue--by memory, I really loved that part, and also one part in the desert where she's wearing an Indian headdress. Bits of the video keep rushing back to me. The part where she is holding the flag, like in the promo photo, is so beautiful. I need to watch it again. There's so much to love about this video, I wish I could eloquently describe it all. It'll be all of ours to enjoy soon enough, but if you can--get that shit HD projected somewhere :P I cried. I cried my fucking eyes out.

     

    Afterwards came the Q&A. I'll try to pick out the meaningful stuff. Someone asked what inspired the song "Ride", and she said that she was a lot more excited at the beginning of her career than she she was in the middle or even now--a clear reference to her backlash and trying to deal with fame, if you ask me. She said that's what she loved and preferred in her downtime--"riding motorcycles...and men :haha: "

     

    She's touring early next year, although she expressed her hatred for the idea and said she'd rather take us all to hang out on the boardwalk on Sunday. GODDAMN SHE IS SO CUTE.

     

    I can finally answer the question "what would you say if you met Lana?" Anthony Mandler chose me, seeing my desperation clear across the room, and I said, "Can you talk about why you re-recorded 'Yayo'...and some other songs from the album?" There was a general "ooh" of agreement, I noticed, but NO--I didn't ask about Jimmy Gnecco. NO--I didn't ask about unreleased material. Still, it wasn't THE shittiest question, right? Anyway, she said she liked the song because she considers it something of a jazz standard and it can go all in one take, but she didn't like how it turned out originally. So, yeah, stans...we're all WRONG in loving that song :creepy: And then I thanked her very much and sat down, although I was hoping she'd talk about an emotional connection to the song and give me some discreet Lanalysis material, not gonna lie. Please be happy with me, forum.

     

    Someone asked if she had any plans for "Never Let Me Go" and she said, "It'll probably live on YouTube, like all the other leaked material!"

     

    Someone asked if she is dating anyone, and she said yes.

     

    She said she was misinterpreted when asked about quitting music and the Vogue Australia interview. She said she meant doing music for films, not acting in them. When pressed, she said that she thought the Paradise Edition was much better than Born to Die and was basically really happy with it. I'm hoping that means she's optimistic, not that she's said what she had to say.

     

    Someone asked if she had any advice for budding singers, and she basically said that your expectations will never live up to your imagination. I thought that was kinda sad.

     

    She said she is best at being a passenger on a motorcycle ;)

     

    After that, I went and waited in an alleyway to meet her. Other folks saw the video multiple times (damn I wish, I could've heard some more Paradise tracks) and spent their time wisely. Me, I waited and waited for her for hours. I met some pretty cool people, but at the end of the day her management wouldn't allow her to do a meet-and-greet, according to the staff of the theater. (CURSE YOU, BEN MAWSON!) That said, I waited until the very end. Me, my driver, and our three new friends were the last five people waiting in front of the theater in case she came back, not exaggerating. But she didn't. I'm pretty bummed about that, but not as much as I anticipated...like, I touched her, and she recognized my stan worship for "Yayo", and I saw the most amazing video ever on a giant screen, and I have the monologue printed out all pretty and I'll for sure frame it.

     

    It was a great night. I can't wait for you guys to see the video. I don't think anyone will be disappointed. I truly don't.

    Ride Premiere, Aero Theater: (pics in fan photos, I will not post spoilers)

    • Some lucky fans said they gave lana their # and are getting coffee w/ her after
    • She told a fan she was "worried no one would come"
    • Attendees got free snacks awww red bull
    • They played FULL songs from Paradise while they were waiting.. Including Blue Velvet + the new Yayo + COLA + GOD AND MONSTERS
    • A fan said Lana said "I love Gaga, maybe sooner than you think" to a fan when asked about a collab... @DelReyLane backs this up so... HOWEVER someone else (who I trust) said Lana basically shaded Gaga..
    • Apparently, one of her people or she herself (?) said it was her best video yet
    • A lot of people were crying at the end
    • Someone said hundreds of people, other thousands. Either way the theater is so small so I hope everyone that came gets to see it!!!
    • Q&A - Lana said she is touring next year, recorded "Yayo" for Paradise edition in one take to give it a jazz vibe, she said "I'd just ride motorcycles... and men" OMG, someone asked about collabs and she said that SHE HAS 2 VERY TALENTED PPL AT THE MOMENT

     

    She is NOT getting coffee with that fan, that fan just invited her and she was like "uh..."

     

    The only full song I caught (I was one of the last people to enter the first screening) was "American". It had some crystal meth lyrics. i recorded some of it but DAMN you can hear my voice. I'll upload anyway.

     

    It is a complete rumor that she said she'd collab with Gaga. I witnessed that question and she IMMEDIATELY changed the subject to other collabs :P

     

    I was crying throughout.

     

    I WAS THE ONE WHO ASKED ABOUT "YAYO", I AM SO GLAD THIS WAS WORTHWHILE NEWS THAT SOMEONE REPORTED TO YOU :D

    I'm trying to combine lyrics for multiple versions of one song into one thread each and things got mixed up along the way. Mourning the loss of some threads but thanks to Your Girl Lana and Crystal Castles for the original posts and these lyrics!

    Demo lyrics in blue.


    You're no good for me
    Baby you're no good for me
    You're no good for me
    But baby I want you, I want you

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Never was there ever a girl so pretty
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?
    Do you think we'll be in love?

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Can we get it down, low-down and gritty?
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?
    Do you think we'll be in love?

    Baby put on heart shaped sunglasses
    'Cause we gonna take a ride
    I'm not gonna listen to what the past says
    I've been waiting up all night

    Take another drag turn me to ashes
    Ready for another lie?
    Says he's gonna teach me just what fast is
    Say it's gonna be all right

    Hit me my darling tonight
    I don't know why but I like it
    Gotta get back to the wild
    Give it up give it up, live it up live it up

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Never was there ever a girl so pretty
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?
    Do you think we'll be in love?

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Can we get it down, low-down and gritty?
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?
    Do you think we'll be in love?

    Let's take Jesus off the dashboard
    Got enough on his mind
    We both know just what we're here for
    Saved too many times

    Maybe I like this roller-coaster
    Maybe it keeps me high
    Maybe this speed it brings me closer
    I could sparkle up your eye

    Hit me and tell me you're mine
    I don't know why but i like it
    Scary, my god, you're divine
    Gimme them, gimme them dope and diamonds

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Never was there ever a girl so pretty
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?
    Do you think we'll be in love?

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Can we get it down, low-down and gritty?
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?

    You're no good for me
    Baby you're no good for me
    You're no good for me
    But baby I want you, I want you

    Diet Mountain Dew, baby, New York City
    Never was there ever a girl so pretty
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?

    Baby's stopping at 7/11
    There in his white Pontiac Heaven
    Do you think we'll be in love forever?
    Do you think we'll be in love?

    Sitar, you can sit down because holy shit, this shit is sexy. Seriously, sit down.

     

    ...Well I didn't have a negative opinion and would basically agree with you, therefore I don't even know what you're talking about or why every post references me...

     

    #IMPACT, I guess :hottie:

     

    Hahahahaha

     

    i actually won a contest that Azealia Banks was hosting with that song! :D thats partly what inspired me to do the whole mix tape

     

    Well I am loving the whole ultra-gay white boy rapper thing you've got going in these songs (not negating the other songs, because I haven't come across one that I didn't like) more than I ever thought I might, so I'm showering Queen Banks with my gratitude :flutter: You both have kinda drag-queeny references, that's enough to sell me on basically anything :excited:

    ^ evilentity now posts Radiohead songs, if he isn't my former English teacher then I'm a pirate.

     

    Was anyone else's first thought when they heard with my pretty song the line from "My Momma"? I kinda geeked over that--it's not such a distinctive phrase that you could call it recycling, but I like to believe that she thought of it.

    As long as you got that Chevrolet I will ride

    He said, "I wanna buy you up, plus a white milkshake."

     

    I always thought it was really obvious what she was saying there.

     

    This is the most convincing, but I'm still cringing at the "B" noise I hear.

    Kind of hoping she keeps what she's doing with "Cake" and "Stache"--like a teaser track every month until the release, not going on the album but just to tide us over.
