Twenty Eight - The Weeknd

I am not an artist.
I am not a graphic artist.
I am not a moving visual artist.
But sometimes I channel my Lana obsession into this because otherwise I'll end up writing fan-fic or carving her name into my arm--each a fate worse than death.
 
Take into account that my resources are limited to the Photobucket editor. With that, here are some of the ones I like (although for every good one, there are 5 hideous ones).
 
 
 
 
Those sizes are all over the place, sorry.
 
Perhaps you're one of 231 lucky folks who have seen my attempt at a video for Burning Desire

Jeez, fully convinced of her hotness after further investigating that Mario Testino photo-shoot.

10/10, would plow.

Okay, guys! The OP is all patched up, and even far improved. Updates include:
- The songs off Paradise
- A section on Arthur Lynn
- Sources and pictures
- Chris C.'s section getting a re-vamp (no longer saying their relationship was romantic, but still worth talking about)
- The premiere of the LOCAL ROCKSTAR section, where we give credit to more than just Jimmy, much to my chagrin.
- Various sections arranged in order of occurrence and corresponding super-sections
 
Not a whole lot is changed, but it's worth a peek due to the format change (and I hope people still read my updates, the brief Arthur Lynn section is pretty good). I got a little spoiler-happy, but it's easier to navigate now, once you're used to it.
 
As for the public, I would love if you guys could help me analyze "Cola" and "Hit & Run" before I definitively add them. Particularly the other woman elements in "Cola" and the music industry references in "Hit & Run"--Van Wilson, perhaps? I personally believe they stand separate from the "record executive" line in Axl Rose Husband, before you ask.
 
Also I'm looking for these interviews if anyone is an expert in that area:
- The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games"
- The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean.

I like that it sounds kind of shitty--makes me imagine it in, like, a mixtape format. Can you imagine that? If Lana had a hip-hop mixtape? Oy.

Welcome to LANALYSIS, where we get real unhealthy in our obsessions and absolutely revel in it.

This is a project I've been maintaining for a while now--Lana + Analysis...get it? The basic purpose is to relate every one of her songs (that's right, every last one of them) to her known and assumed relationships. Not a stone is left unturned. Privacy is violated. The fans rejoice. Mind you, it’s all pure speculation, but ~this is what makes us stans~

It’s pretty long but an interesting read, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it in all it’s updated glory, and I will continue to update as new information is revealed and new songs come out. I will also be adding pictures, sources, etc. Stay tuned!

Let’s get started!



EARLY RELATIONSHIPS (1985 - ~2005)



LOCAL ROCKSTARS (~2005 - 2009)



YOU MADE ME NICE FOR A WHILE (2009 - 2011)



POST-BREAKTHROUGH (2011+)



IN THE LAND OF DISCREPANCIES



ADVANCED LANALYSIS



IN SUMMARY..

Lingering questions…
- Who the fuck is K?
- Who the fuck is Ray?
- Who the fuck is Bill? Is Bill really K? Does Bill matter at all?
- What significance do cars play? She mentions eight in total (white Corvette, white Pontiac, blue Chevy Nova/Chevrolet, Cadillac convertible, Mercedes, pickup truck, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron)
- When was she/who was she with in New York City and New Jersey? Ditto LA? Most mysterious and pressing, her time in the South?
- Did she have a fling with Bradley Soileau?
- Did Chris C. matter enough to her for her to write songs about him?

Assumptions Made:
- Lana was a gogo dancer.
- K is a drug dealer/murderer, dead or on death row.
- Jimmy is her ex-fiancé, addicted to cocaine despite a Wikipedia page stressing how healthy he is, associated with Chevrolets.
- Much of Sirens is about completely different relationships.
- She fucked Bradley.
- Mike controlled her career but their relationship wasn’t associated with anything fucked up like drugs or stripping.


Thanks for reading! I crave both your feedback and theories! This remains a forum collaboration and I don't claim to have the final say on Lanalytical manners.

For the sake of believability, I'm always hunting receipts, and currently:
- The interview where she refers to "Yayo" as the prequel to "Video Games"
- The interview where she describes "Video Games" as dealing with mutual sobriety in a relationship--her and her partner both staying clean.
- The interview where she talks about meeting her boyfriend in rehab and being dazzled by his small-scale celebrity.

Jake, don't remind me. I added all the Paradise songs yesterday and upon clicking "save changes" it spat out that mess. It's an absolutely monumental task to fix but it'll be up and running soon.

Feel free to use any of these guys

Crystal Meth

i figured it could disappear, so yes, i saved it! ^_^
 

This image is now broken and I need it for a fully-functioning Lanalysis
 
Did anyone save it?

Crystal Meth

YES! You are the first person to boldly cross the street without looking both ways and answer my celebrity couple question. See what a hit it is, earlier MOTWs? Smh.
 
Obviously I live for all your Golden Girls answers. There's no realm where I'm not Dorothy, so I'm glad you're not infringing on that. Own tha Blanche, own it. Is Monicker Sophia because he's so old? Who is Rose? And what about Debbie Reynolds' short-lived stint on the show? Is that frankee?
 
It was also surprisingly personal and I really enjoyed that because I've often gotten the feeling that I want to know you on a semi-personal level even if your posts are just the most hilarious. Of course you balanced the two flawlessly. I'm very happy you won.
 
Lemme go organize a YYYs download because of dat shoutout.
 
Listen to "Every Man Has His Wish" if you need a boppy unreleased song. That's just shameful, you know.
 
Sexting HDB right now.

Weird how none of you are ready for the video of the decade...
 

 
Ride who?
