COLACNT

i think this is basically how it goes: 
 

 
**how should i fuck with the social media next** ------ "i think i'll get some tassles for my tits and strip on día de los muertos, before i fly off into my afterlife with the black albino figure of christ. oh, and i should start eating more chocolate cake. cause that'll -really- get them talkin'"
 
the fact that some of these elements seem a bit discordant is why i'm so fucking intrigued by this. i think she likes to spark controversy but every aspect of the production is probably controlled (or at the very least, influenced) by her creative direction. so i mean, it already seems like its gonna be really divisive but that's pretty much her in a nutshell, and i think it always will be. she's always going to keep it interesting, but not everyone can like what you do all the time when you're constantly being inventive with your work 

I NEVER KNOW IF I AM BREAKING A RULE EVERY TIME I POST A TOPIC

See, I love Young & Beautiful and I get the chills (mostly from Lana singing, especially the verses,) but it was also rather unfulfilling for me. The Orchestra version was a little bit of a better experience, and the Demo was better than that, but the chorus and bridge always pulled a "meh" out of me.

What I like about remixes (and the people who do them,) is seeing what so many different people can do with their creativity, all using the same song. It's amazing how some elements of songs become exponentially more prominent than other elements, and the feel of each song really changes the atmosphere. At least for me, anyway.

But anyway, here's some of my favorite remixes of Young & Beautiful, if anyone else finds other mashups/remixes of any genre, I'd love to see them.

YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL [TWICE AS NICE REMIX] - I love the harmonies that were added at the beginning, best seven seconds ever.



YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL [MADEUX REMIX] - One of my first PlayStation fighting games was one from 1999 called Evil Zone, and it was one of my favorites, I listen to the soundtrack and play the game still, and this remix always makes me think of the game. Nostalgia <3

YOUNG & BEAUTIFUL [KULKID'S REMIX] - My first Y&B remix to come across, and the song I used for my first Space Lacing video (I could just put another link, but some days I wake up with a head full of narcissism and anyone who would prefer a picture could run in the woods with rabid deer)

ahhh thank you!!! <3 
 
the girl with the lipstick is from a film called 'jennifer, where are you' by leslie thornton and i'm not 100% sure if this is what you're referring to, but the footage with the masks is from a music video directed by derek jarman, which i also used (in full) for queen of the gas station video:

It's not as pretty as the one she's wearing but it's like less than 2 bucks and free shipping

You can tell who's the producer 

aww well i love making them, so no thanks necessary -- but thank you =p 
 
the film is 'east of eden' -- although i got the actual footage from
(where its paired with nancy sinatra)

it is her bestest friend 

has she no pride? 
 

she talks about being the 'bad girl that knows better', having a chameleon soul, no fixed personality, etc and i think its all true. i remember reading an article about her where the interviewer describes her as being 'coltishly innocent' with a 'vampish sense of knowingness'. i think that's a pretty accurate description of her lyrics, her imagery, and her personality. its probably also why people are so quick to assume that she's inauthentic, or putting on some sort of an act -- she seems to be a bit of a walking contradiction. personally, i think lizzy grant was more 'coltish and innocent' while lana del rey is more 'vampish and knowing'. elizabeth (herself) is probably a combination of those things and more. 
 
i think her beauty and her broadly overactive mind have come to shape her the most. she seems highly sensitive and intuitive to people's energies, her surroundings, and her own thoughts. since she tends to remain quiet (or ~ contemplative), perhaps even stoic or detached, people have thus come to perceive her as being stuck up, arrogant, possibly even vapid, if not worse. maybe these reactions have pushed her into her own shell, or left her quite cynical? i think a large part of her insecurities come down to the misperceptions (and passive aggressions) that have probably followed her throughout life. the anxiety of first impressions must be monumental for her. ultimately, i think she loves being beautiful, but its probably an often bittersweet kind of thing. i think she's been able to see the darker depths of human nature as a result. i think she feels a bit defensive about her looks; part of her may even resent what it does to those around her. but paradoxically, i think she needs to feel beautiful. 
 
i think she's a sweet person. i think she cares deeply about others' happiness, despite potentially being a bit aloof? i mean, i remember reading david kahne write that she was always riding the subway late at night by herself. so her being ~weird~ and aloof may be due to a self reflective nature. i also think she's a bit of a narcissist (which unfortunately, seems to be correlated with introversion). this comes back to her dual personality: she often seems insecure, awkward, and nervous. yet she knows that she's beautiful. she knows that she's smart, and she knows that she's talented. i guess it might be hard to attain a sense of self-security when you've got no fixed personality. but she seems happier and more confident now? i think she's come to feel validation (for her talents, and artistic intuitions) -- and its completely warranted. i think she's happy because people are starting to see how great she is, and now she can work on any kind of project that pops up in her mind without worrying about how it'll be received. i mean, after pussy cola, she can kind of do whatever the fuck she wants right? 
 
i dunno what else to say at the moment. a lot of what i feel that i know about her may just be random, abstract comprehensions mixed with vague projections. i guess she seems rather complicated. or simple, maybe? i dunno. but despite everything, i like to think she's as real as they come in this particular industry. 
 
also, if any of you are into jungian typology, i'm fairly certain that she's an INFP

I think it's just... Lana  She doesn't really seem high to me in her manner of speaking at least, she's just a bit odd herself.
