From the Jaguar website:
 
"The car was revealed in front of the dramatic setting of the 18th century Musée Rodin. Following the reveal, singer Lana Del Rey took to the stage and performed a new track ‘Burning Desire’, that she has written as part of her collaboration with Jaguar for the launch of the F-TYPE. The track is confirmed to be the sound track to a short film that is being produced in association with Ridley Scott Associates and will be featured on her new album. Starring Golden Globe nominated and Emmy Award-winning actor Damian Lewis, the short film is scheduled to be filmed in South America next month and will be released early 2013."
 
Wow! Ridley Scott directing a small movie with Burning Desire soundtrack, can't get any better, wow!

All that's real to me is the Paradise Edition deluxe box set :sigh:

It's def. The Killers - When You Were Young for me. Her trembling voice is like Brandon's in WYWY.
 
Come to think of it, WYWY is like a fitting song to be sang to Lana. Look at the album's cover:
A [Aberdeen] trailer park's beauty queen. And a llama goat.

 
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
 
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
 
Can we climb this mountain
I dont know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let's take it easy
Easy now
Watch it go
 
We're burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning
When you were young
When you were young
 
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
 
They say the devil's water
It ain't so sweet
You dont have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
 
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now
Here he comes
 
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined
When you were young
(talks like a gentleman)
(like you imagined)
When you were young
 
I said he doesnt look a thing like Jesus
He doesnt look a thing like Jesus
But more than you'll ever know
 
devil's water = alcohol
 
 
 
 
Damm, that was 2006.

I can think of someone that fits the western theme:
 

So, i finally realized what the hell the chorus of Burning Desire is:
 

 
LOL, Lizzy, good one!

Neal needs to listen to this song, or more importantly needs to get a hand on the song, which is where..?
 
 
 

And that wasn't the only time Jimmy Gnecco and Reeve Carney performed together:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1xj1aAsrX8

Omg I posted the video of Reeve and Jimmy performing Saint as a status like a week ago and I wrote that it sounded like Put Me In A Movie and I deleted it because I didn't think it was important.....my bad

We wait
 
 
It has some honest to god sex appeal, whereas before any sexiness in her music was sort of offbeat (Mermaid Motel, Yayo).

Making the argument for photon-
 
you can be my photon, daddy, white and gold
(Referring to the white and gold flash of the camera, a photon is a light particle)
 
you can be my photon, baby, hot and cold

Photons are used in photon cameras- for filming / taking pictures, etc. Possibly about Mike? (I like to think he's not important enough haha) Plus paparazzi always take pictures of her as she's out riding. We always see them getting her as she's leaving the Chateau for her night rides.

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.

The more i hear Burning Desire, the more i fall in love with it and the more i'm kinda upset it's not on the album. I'd prefer it to Blue Velvet tbh.

Here's my theory:
 
Okay. Back in 2009, at the same time they recorded "Heavy Hitter," Lana worked on a very rough demo of a song tentatively called "Hawaiian Tropic." However, they never finished it, and she took some ideas and lyrical themes from that unfinished track and instead used them in conjunction with her old demo "1949," and came out with THIS MASTERPIECE. It's like the happy sister song to the slow version of "Hundred Dollar Bill," and hey! Look at the RUBY TUESDAY reference. Hmmmmmm?

And Meryl Steep's daughter!
 
What if she was the one that hates those guys?

You don't understand the amount of lives I'd sacrifice to have it right now.
 
I wrote up some lyrics -
 
"Ride"
I've been out on that open road
You can be my photon, daddy, white and gold
Singing blues has been getting old
You can be my photon, baby, hot and cold
 
"Cola"
My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola
My eyes were wide like cherry pies
I gots a taste for men who are older
It's always been, so it's no surprise
 
"American"
You made me crazy, you made me wild
Just like a baby, scream your name like a child
Your skin so golden-brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
 
"Gods and Monsters"
In the land of gods and monsters, I was an angel
Living in the Garden of Evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon
You got the medicine I need
Fame, liquor, love, give it to me slowly
Put your hands on my waist, do it softly
 
"Bel Air"
Gargoyles standing at the front of your gate
[???] told me to wait, but I can’t wait to see you
So I run like I’m mad, to heaven’s door

She was crazy, her name was Katie.

Oh, what a nice surprise! These are my photos! Am I sad for walking all over my city centre just admiring and taking photos of the Lana adverts? Meh, I had fun.
 
 
Wrong and wrong!
 
 
Wrong!

I think she says "corner of the road". You know, like a hooker...

YOU'RE CRAZY
 
YOU'RE CLAIRVOYANT

MATTIERN!!!! CHRIS SEEFRIED HIMSELF TWEETED A LINK TO YOUR VIDEO FOR "BOARDING SCHOOL!!!!!!!"

But they're displaying it as track 9 in the iTunes preorder

It's skipping in and out for me, but that was the best "Video Games" performance EVER.
