brb, making a fan video

if gatsby wasn't such a shit film and the song hadn't been so narcissistic she would have only had like a 70% chance of getting snubbed

lmao edward gallegos update: i filed a counter-notification through youtube after he asked them to remove my video, provided them with links to ASCAP and the harry fox agency where jarrad rogers is the only name listed (other than 'elizabeth grant') and they said they'd contact the complainant, and if he failed to respond with further proof they'd restore my video within 10-14 days. and now my account is back ( ) so obviously edward gallegos is a lying sack of shit if you're reading this edward, i wish you nothing but anal prolapsing

lel sorry this week is going to be a day shorter (this is what happens when i have responsibilities) but the song is: LYRICS: MUSIC VIDEO: Overall rating: First impression: Impression now: iTunes plays: Songs I play along with it: What I like about it: What I dislike about it: Memories I associate with this song: Colors/images that come to mind: Favorite lyrics: Interpretation: This song makes me feel: Favorite part of the song:

coachella tickets are always so elusive and expensive but unless she announces some kind of tour i might have to save up

Overall rating: 7/5 First impression: um what Impression now: wow what Songs I play along with it: brite lites, the twin peaks theme, trash, everything else What I like about it: its beautiful, deranged, and defies any type of categorization (even in the context of BTD). also, i love it when lana 'raps' What I dislike about it: the fact that i like it so much Favorite lyrics: My old man is a tough man But he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam And he shows me, he knows me Every inch of my tar black soul (although i personally prefer "with every inch of his tar black soul" ) I'm your little harlot, starlet Queen of Coney Island Raising hell all over town Sorry 'bout it! Boy you're so crazy baby I love you forever, not maybe Colors/images that come to mind: black, blood red, sepia tones, and maybe a hint of blue Interpretation: i dunno. this song is kind of complicated, i think? it isn't even just the lyrics. the melodies, the intonation, the constant shift in her tone, its all beautiful and somehow grotesque? there's just something very seedy about this song? maybe its cause she sounds like a squeaking sex doll. reminds me some kind of upscale boudoir in the 60's, where mafia men would go to fuck pre-teen hookers. i don't think there's really any story to it all, i think its just a bunch of typically discomfiting ~lana-isms all mashed into one song. it probably explains why visuals are such an important component, and why they augment your perception and/or understanding of her music. i mean, there's nothing about this song that's overtly disgusting. there's nothing really all that creepy or disturbing until you really think about certain components and then try to attach some kind of visual to it. i think this song is a pretty clear example of why she's always drawing comparisons to david lynch. images of hideous, disfigured creatures licking their lips at strippers and plastic barbie dolls wouldn't make sense if the song weren't somehow, almost subliminally fucked up. maybe cause it seems to be all about her superficial preoccupation with the voyeuristic gaze of men. half of the song is about her man 'watching' her, but yet she claims its ~true love, even though there's not much else to suggest anything that resembles "love". its like all she can do is smile real pretty because she's "tar black" and dead on the inside, so the beauty and the smiles are all that she can offer. i guess the brite lites footage fits well in that context, when she waves and grins at the end before it all slides off her face a split second later. perfect, plastic, dead-eyed beauty queen and her fucked up schemes to extort money and lust from the men that surround her -- i guess that's what its all about? lel

SONG OF THE WEEK #2: LYRICS : MUSIC VIDEO: thanks to @@Trinity for coming up with this Q&A format that i am stealing Overall rating: First impression: Impression now: iTunes plays: Songs I play along with it: What I like about it: What I dislike about it: Memories I associate with this song: Colors/images that come to mind: Favorite lyrics: Interpretation: which you can of course add to

seeing her hot ass in LA seeing her hot ass in london being so ecstatically overwhelmed during that leak week hearing so legit for the first time and cackling so hard that my throat actually hurt

i think the john wayne poem could be related to the "i believe in the country america used to be" sentiment, somehow? like she's equating certain aspects of (antiquated) american culture or lifestyle with her salvation / newfound joy or maybe it was just another nod to the ~american dream~ ironically juxtaposed with the fact that they had just robbed a bunch of people lmao because her take on the "american dream" doesn't involve trading betty crocker recipes and white picket fences. so the line "we're living on the dark side of the american dream" makes sense in this context? i guess maybe she's saying the 'dream' is really just all about $$$ or maybe she wasn't trying to say anything at all. but all the various elements are abstract enough to be deconstructed in a variety of ways

so true i also kind of love the "whyyy do i think too much" juxtaposed with the 'pink lip gloss' line, and the footage of her looking like a blonde bimbo in the tranny wig lel its kind of funny too that she says "you tell me not to worry, cause you're the boss", etc because doesn't it seem like she's the more dominant presence in her relationship with barrie? she holds the economic reigns, she drives them everywhere, he brings and lights her cigarettes on stage, etc lmao i know those are all minor things and we don't really know what their relationship is actually like but i guess i just can't imagine barrie being very ~aggressive w/ her the way she seems to 'prefer' in her songs. i don't know if thats all part of a character or if its just another one of her strange paradoxes

i don't have a preference tbh we can keep it under one thread and change the title every sunday or we could have a separate sub forum i dunno maybe we should vote on it?! and i mean the "SOTW" doesn't even have to be random we can vote on that too? or think of some other way to select a song like have some ppl choose it during certain weeks, etc

ok so the first time i heard this was on the 'god bless america' mixtape and i fucking hated it. i was like what is this softcore country shit? something about the production was cheesy to me and i probably listened to it like 4-5 times max. then i discovered lanaboards a little bit later and found out there was an acoustic demo, which was the version i almost immediately fell in love with. i was actually able to listen to the lyrics and realize how beautiful the song is in itself. the core melody feels a bit more melancholy with just her voice and the guitar i suppose? a while back i uploaded the acoustic demo to youtube, and the content ID match came up as "heavier than heavenly" -- so i guess that was the demo title? that part of the song used to be my favorite too until i realized she didn't come up with it on her own =((((((( also ... i've always found this video to be particularly strange. like this is one of her more ~lighthearted songs but the video is actually darker than most of her others. like why did she include all those creepy surrealist films? particularly this one: there's almost a jailhouse vibe to it. i dunno if the guy in the video just embodies the typical ~bad boi or if there was some kind of darker, or more meaningful intent. does anyone know when she made this video, btw? her lips already look huge and there's chateau marmont footage in it that she apparently had shot specifically for video games so the timeline surrounding this is kind of strange to me too i haven't really read through lanalysis, but isn't it speculated that one of her exes (K?) is / was in prison? so maybe this song is about them ~running from the law or something? more of a bonnie & clyde thing, rather than just an innocent little roadtrip "top down, gonna make a getaway" "we'll be together finally" (maybe she broke him out or something lmao) "you tell me not to worry" "you got a real good plan" "life on the run has set me free" is the song about some kind of illicit escape then? "on our way" sounds a lot like "we made it out to the other side" or like one of the other 700 vague allusions to "paradise" or some otherworld / afterlife. are they related in any way? maybe she's ~on her way~ to having an actual life with her inmate ex or smth (?)

yayyy so happy everyone likes the idea SONG OF THE WEEK (#1) !!! maybe we can delete this thread?

song of this week (12/4 - 1/4) is: https://vimeo.com/44556342 LYRICS: share any thoughts / feelings about this song! i guess there are really no rules? your personal interpretations from your own viewpoint and/or lana's viewpoint, how you felt about the song when you first heard it vs. how you feel about it now, colors / images that come to mind, favorite lines or production elements, would you fuck to it, sleep to it, beat to it, etc lmao those are just general topic ideas. i can come up with more and include my thoughts later but i need to study since i've already procrastinated like 79% of the day away also can someone include any details about the song that i am clueless about; producers, writer(s?) year, known demos, unknown demos, slated for release, number of videos available (2, i think -- although i can only seem to find one version)

i was thinking that maybe we could pool all of her songs together into some randomized generator like this once a week, and then discuss that song in depth; i.e what it means to you, what you think it means to lana, what you like about it, what you loathe about it, how it makes you feel, maybe play it for some friends / family and see how they react to it, etc basically anything centered around that one song for that week i always thought that the lyric forum would be a good place to discuss song meanings, etc but there are so many separate threads its kind of overwhelming to devote all of the potential ideas / analyses / discussion topics to the 839843098 different songs. and tbh there are a lot of songs that i don't really listen to that much or think about that much but if we're kind focus our attention on it collectively, we might come to hear it / understand it in different ways. and some of her songs are so different, in terms of production / lyrical content / etc so i guess maybe different songs could bring forth different types of topics etc good idea? flop idea? i can just copy and paste the song list into the generator if it sounds ok

where is this from? i found it on a facebook fan page

what is she even basing this on her lone opinion? lel

virginal dresses that also happen to be extremely short being the deepest person on the planet making her life into a ~work of art victim playing slut dropping lip licking clichés jesus

not sure if i'm gonna get in trouble for this but :mj3:

i agree that there's definitely a line that shouldnt be crossed, but jane's facebook profile is mostly public. you never know what you can find with random snooping. someone else stumbled across that picture above, and now i have an idea of who she babysits on occasion i want to know everything. so i should apologize in advance to anyone that has entered or left her life xx
