I wonder if she’s bored by these superficial questions she always gets.
 
I wish there was at least one interview about complex topics, like philosophy. I want to see how deep she can go into these things without sounding superficial, or giving general statements.

omg another interview about, dare I say, nothing. But we did learn Lfl was writing the day Honeymoon came out, prolific queen and she even brought up Mr. Campbell again after all these years.

Can't wait to watch pt.2
 

MY BABY

 

MY CHILD

 

JUSTICE FOR YOU IS COMING

Immortal is just a gorgeous heartbreak of a song and is truly the best on that album. anyone who disagrees is deaf, blind and mute since the song transcends all senses.

i doubt this will happen, but the fact she's frequenting Japan more, could her future music could have oriental inspired melodies??

Marina looks better than she in 2015.
 
 
I really her selfies, it's beauty in one pic

Solitair is great, ESPECIALLY the production. Deal with it.
 
Weeds is weak and Gold is weird (not in a cool way).

Weeds and Gold are horrible songs 

Can't Pin Me Down >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Better Than That
 
CPMD hate is bad and Jesus is watching 
 
YOU MAY THINK I'M ONE THING BUT I'M ANOTHER... TIME TO BACK OFF MOTHERF*CKER
 
 
That was A MOMENT to be experienced live
edit: Also Immortal lyrics are top5 her career together with Savages 

Don't come for Savages.
 
 
 
That song is literally the most shocking, lyrically is so fucking truth and sad, one of her best MASTERPIECES, that's the tea and y'all can't deny it.

I mean, theres audio of him trying to get some model to sleep with him. And when A-list celebs like Angelina or Gwyneth come forward with allegations, it’s pretty incriminating.

Parts I love the most from each song, this looks like an essay or something tbh 
 
 

I want another National Anthem-like music video for Cherry (meaning I want a dope concept with dope visuals and some dank dance moves)

sometimes ??? 
 
bitch this place is like a 5 year old snorted adderal and then slammed their head on a heated stove

I think it's a really good song (and the title track isn't that bad either), but I agree. With the lead single leaking and the whole album being pushed back from too late to way too late, I completely overplayed Love. When I listen to the album, I usually start with 13 Beaches. 

Every song on the album could have an amazing video to go along with it. Lana's videography is incredible
 
PETITION FOR LANA'S NEXT ALBUM TO BE A VISUAL ALBUM

Not sure if this is the right thread to place this, but can we discuss the fact that not everything Lana writes in a song needs to have actually happened to her? If her inspirations are Leonard Cohen, Boby Dylan and Joan Baez isn't that a sign that she's not just a songwriter but also a storyteller? I think this is especially true for Sirens since it's the most Cohen / Dylan / Baez album she's written.
 
Not every song needs to be about a personal experience much like how every book isn't about a personal experience. Do you really think Stephen King went to a small town called Dairy where a clown that comes out every 27 years was killing children? Do you think Lana was an acrobat with 6 husbands (I don't remember exactly what it was, but she said something outrageous like that years ago) Songs have metaphors and made up stories to capture the listener.  Artists create personas to capture their audience. Lana does that well, maybe even too well since some people take everything she says as the gospel truth. 

Lana has said that she takes two different guys and puts them into one song before. I have always thought that she's done this when changing from first to third person.
 
With this in mind, BAR is one of the songs she does this with. So when she is singing the intro about the architecture & houses of holy "he was cool as heck," I think she is talking about her boyfriend- and then when she switches to "but You were so obsessed & You did it all for fame," I definitely think she is talking to herself/Lizzy. Another reason I think this is because of "how does it feel 'now that it's over'," which makes it sound like the person she is talking to GOT their fame & is still searching for something else / not satisfied with it. Which isn't really true for any of her boyfriends, at least not to the extent that she has made it- famous.
 
This honestly could have been the turning point- this song- that made her realize she needed to search for something else now. A Lust For Life instead of the glory & fame she had always been after before. She knew she needed new inspiration and a new goal or drive to live her life. It could have been the starting point of the new album & why there were rumors this had been the original title.

A theory on Your Gal, I haven't looked into the exact dates but is it possibly that she wrote this song while on tour with Jimmy Gnecco? I remember after her tour with him (or during) she released the title song of Ultraviolence and they had to asure the Jim in that song was not related to him. I've always found it strange that there just happened to be a second Jim in Lana's life. But anyways, the lyrics in YG go "been on tour too long, had too much time to think," and then in the bridge it says "late at night, baby your my sign, call me late if you want to get high.... late at night you and I can get to know one another." What if this was written with the excruciating pain of having your long time crush and/or ex lover on tour with you, thinking about them constantly, knowing that they are sleeping in the hotel room across the hall from you, hoping to get that call in the middle of the night & maybe do drugs again together like you used to. "You and I can get to know one another..." Again.
 
I wish I was your* girl.

I was given the approval to post info I found on fb on here, but no pics or names. This doesn't mean try to hunt down people and ask them questions about Lana. They aren't okay with that. 
 
Random sleuthing side notes: 
 
J took a trip to India in Dec. 2008. Maha Maha is from 2009 so that could have been the inspiration, especially since it's really her only song with that sort of sound. 
On the trip, J was in London for a few days. There's a few pics of him with Rob (and others) at a house in London, but no Lana. 
Someone commented about a wedding in one of the India pics but I'm not going to say it's about him and Lana, but that would be interesting.
J and Lana were for sure living together in April 2009, but there is a pic of J in the same kitchen in Feb. 2009 so it could have been sooner.
 
He plays guitar and bass and was in a band from 2001-2007.
He's been in other bands, or at least played a few gigs, as recently as 2015, but I haven't found any info on them.  
 
 
 
Also: does anyone know how to find someone's myspace url if all you have is the friend id?

Well, here goes nothing   I've had this theory for years..
 
So I have gathered similiar lyrics but did consider the "drive by sunday night" reference and the timing is also a bit earlier (making it line up with the release of Sirens). The difference though is that this crime took place in South LA. (We all know she travelled through the USA as mentioned in several songs and videos, I believe this was during her gap year. Tropico proves the LA theory as well)
 
The double homocide took place on April 6th 2004 (Sunday to Monday night"drive by sunday night" - For K)
at 2AM ("I was shot at 2AM" - Jump -> as in that's when Lana died, too, because she lost him forever because of the crime)
over a drug dispute (I'm not gonna quote obvious themes in her music ) 
Lana was 18 at the time (gap year) 
 
Two men shot a man and three women (witnesses) in the Nickerson Gardens housing project, two of the women survived and one of them was brave enough to testify (She died September the same year, and her funeral took place in St. Paul's Baptist Chruch ("Swinging in and out of Old Paul's" - Video Games)
 
Sidenote: This could be a stretch but there's a Willowbrook street and a Willowbrook Park right next to the housing project ("See the willow bowing" - Out With A Bang)
 
In July 2004 one of the men (K) involved in the shooting was convicted to murder charge (the articles don't say the amount of years but I guess 30 could be it) The jury split about the question of death penalty and the 'phase of the case should be retried'. (Not important but the other man involved had a different trial as he didn't confess)
 
A piece of information that is missing is when they decided to put him on death row because in 2009 a judge denied to reduce his death sentence that's all I could find.
 
K was 28/27 in 2004, so he does kinda fall into the older man type. I mean 10 years apart for an 18 year old is a lot imo.
 
Now, his name is the most mind-blowing piece of information: Kai Harris (as in fucking K, Kai, KAY..)
 
ITS JUST A THEORY THOUGH  
 
 
 
 
PS: He's a lightskin black man ("golden skin" - several songs) with long dark hair (again) and a slender, muscular figure.

In my feelings - G-Eazy

This is why I'm on LanaBoards, tbh.

So basically in my spare time I like to make Lana Del Rey album art.

Here's some of my work below:

LUST FOR LIFE CONCEPT ART - 21st MAY
 


Edit: Deleted a lot of my edits on here because they were messy.

 

I quit my degree, dumped my boyfriend and removed my friends and family from my life by faking my own death. I sold my flat and moved away to a secluded shack in rural Spain. I sit on my laptop every hour of the day hitting refresh waiting for the album. I have all my food delivered and a cleaner that comes once a week so I don't have to take time off my refreshing. Also I only sleep for 20 minute periods at a time so I don't miss anything.
