Lmfao at this article. I cannot for the life of me bear the way French journalists talk about her. Arrogant fuckers using pretty words to bash her. Always the same tired ass topics and quotes à la I wish I was dead already. Smfh. Respect her ffs. I need to wash my eyes and guts with bleach urgh. I'm sure she must be annoying for someone who's IN the press, but this just makes my skin violently erupt

I want to design my own Sirens booklet and covers and print it professionally at school to get a real clean nice jewel case, and eventually do the same for YLM/FTE/RMS, but I don't know if I should use May Jailer or Lizzy Grant or any other name. I class absolutely all my Lana songs under Lana Del Rey and I divide the unreleased by year so I have no idea which periods corresponds to what, but if I get this done I want to do it as well as possible. From what I understand, Sirens is around 2006 and under May Jailer right? And the 2007 Disco sessions are under Lizzy Grant And The Phenomena? And also, if Sirens was written and recorded around the time of the 2006 interview we had, Lana was going around under Lizzy Grant? So I'm a bit lost, I would be grateful if someone would be kind enough to explain me Jesus Christ I'm posting on this thread so much I got loads of stuff to say

Ya in the Versailles interview from 2014 she said that the part in the car was supposed to feel like a haze in a dream, like "In my mind I think the video could have been shot a little bit closer to what I was trying to express" "When the tempo slows down it was supposed to slip into this more surreal dream scene with a vision of how I genuinely like things to be" "one thing that didn't necessarily got translated is that scene in the car was supposed to almost have a more heavenly filter on it like it was supposed to be more of almost a wave and a haze over the lense so that you could see that the reality was the beach but the dream was the car with the love interest so you know it's hard some things get lost in translation" etc etc etc it's my very favourite interview of her sorry off topic

You're Gonna Love Me is to me the best song made in the entire alternate universes and it will probably forever be. It's bare marrow raw. It's intensely empowering, it's extremely personal, it's spiritual, the lyrics are stellar, it's beautiful to a point where I don't have any human words to describe. It's full of the most blatant emotion I've ever came across, it's immensely relatable, and the melody is just the best I've ever heard. I regret not having discovered it before in my life. It could avoided me so much pain. This tune heals me when nothing does. It expresses what I keep the most hidden in my deepest depths. I love that we don't have the back story, I love that it's a low quality recording, I love that she's playing guitar herself, I love this extreme simplicity, I hope she never sing it again, I hope it was just 4 unique minutes, gone forever, that mattered at this precise moment. Most of the time I can't even listen to it, it's too peculiar, too beautiful, it touches things that I never would have suspected would be there. But when I need it, it's there, and it's like meeting God, and having all my hopes validated. Whoever Jim is, I'm thankful that his existence inspired this song. What God give me a plan for if he won't help me do it

I don't get if my anger is legitimate I mean... She released an album a week ago, did some signings, her record is the best one yet, but I'm really pissed at her not releasing it? Stangirl cancelled I'm too teased

Honeymoon promo teas I'm screaming to this point I really don't care about who made it or how it's made I just want to see it :') I trust her though I know it's going to be absolutely spectacular

RELEASE IT FAT

I'm an impatient little brat but is she doesn't release it asap I'm selling all my possessions, I buy a ticket for LA, I use her insta vids to find her house and I bitch slap her. I feel so teased, it looks so gorgeous and luxuriant and I'm really super afraid the hype goes off it's been like, 2 weeks??? 3 weeks??? I don't even remember I just want to see the footage

I more and more prefer Sirens/YLM/FTE to Born To Die. I love HBTB. I don't like DICWB. Freak is barely starting to grown on me. Honemoon is STILL my favourite album and I think it really changed me as a person, not just because it was my first era and I wasn't around here for UV, really, it describes perfectly who I am right now. God Knows I Tried is absolutely perfect.

This is such a funny mess haha I'm really annoyed but the cover and colours looks pretty so I'm torn a rare magnificent example of trash

I would give a kidney and a half for GKIT second chorus instrumental. But we already got HBTB no? Is there no possibility to get more?

Lost Girls - CocoRosie <3

Yeah the "I can't believe God would give me bla bla bla" line is from the 2012 Italian Facebook interview it's in my masterpost. I remember this conversation was so fascinating. I really, REALLY would like to understand where the "I am my only God" line comes from. As a believer I would be more inclined to think it is an invitation to find God within ourselves, but very obviously this line probably has completely opposite connotations for anyone else. I think she also is interested in the "romantic" aspect of religion, with lines like "Jesus is my bestest friend", "please Lord when I get to heaven let me bring my man", etc, like she fantasizes about having a relationship with a divinity that is in the same vein as "honouring love even when it is lost". She definitely sometimes uses religious words as part of an aesthetic rather than a honest belief imo. And I 1000% agree with your last statement you said it much better than I would have. I love your last sentence, I'm Catholic and I'm nowhere near offended, it's actually very justly and beautifully said and really, super super Lana. And I think @@strange weather description is very accurate, like the "culturally catholic" part.

I actually completely consider this song as being completely destined to God and it being a litany, a real prayer. Maybe it is because I have a very strong Catholic faith but I can't help to use the words she use in my own prayers. As a believer myself I would be extremely surprised if she doesn't at least believe in the IDEA of God. I'm so interested in reading all your answers and the more I do the more I'm convinced that her interest in metaphysics is but a necessary and capital part of her quest for God, whatever that might be, perhaps not necessarily the Catholic God even though as we discussed it before she does cite in interviews going to the mass and singing at church with pleasure, but maybe even in just the Higher Power that is a very early part of the 12 steps recovery program (2nd one if I'm not mistaken) that she might have been through as an alcoholic, as we do have receipts that she chaired some AG reunions.

This is extremely interesting to me. I think that she do believe in a spiritual higher power, and I think that she appreciate the comfort of cult, like having defined symbols and practice, is kind of comforting. But I'm not sure that she's that interested in the traditional aspect of Christianity, particularly Catholicism as she was raised, in regards of her views on some sexuality aspects and as you said her interest in metaphysics, and the lectures she's been recently promoting. But she did said recently several times that she definitely was a seeker. So maybe she's just trying to understand everything in order to consolidate and understand better her faith? But I read on twitter that a fan gave her a "our father" bracelet and she asked to be said one for her. Obviously, I am nowhere near speaking in her name and I might have completely misunderstood the whole point. I have so much to say about this but I fear it's too personal!

getting Ride hair teas for Ride anniversary

I'm weird. I think it's because I was SO excited and looking forward and it was all so unexpected and better than I thought that I'm just having the low after the high. I'm really depressed too. I'm still excited about MTWBT video but idk with her sales dropping and all, I have this super nasty feeling that the era is fading away. Blah I won't post anymore

I feel so bad for being bored to tears. Lana just got her record out, it's in my opinion the best she's done, I've met her, she's doing mad promo, but still, I'm bored. I don't know what I'm looking forward this is so weird and annoying I don't get why I'm feeling like this, I should be so happy to listen to the songs and all but...

Hmmmm china palace (urgh) posted it yesterday or early this morning so I'm a bit torn with this. It does look super legit tho. I'm excited af ngl

This line is cheesily cornily one of the best lines I've seen

Anyone else feels depressed as fuck? I can't believe how Lana can simultaneously make me the happiest and most depressed piece of trash on earth I love her SO MUCH and it's killing me

It makes me so fucking sad when people blatantly say HBTB is terrible and condemn it. I learned it on guitar today and almost passed out of happiness. I already made like three posts about it but I don't care. I'm not screaming everywhere that I think Freak is to my immense despair absolutely bland and that Terrence Loves You is one of the Lana songs I dislike the most, but it for some reasons make me feel really affected when people talk bad about HBTB. Because this song is so important to me, I mean it's obviously super personal, but the day it got out was really one of the best days of my life because I had a real sense of community for the first time ever and I was so scared my sick abusive grandmother would kick me out in the middle of nowhere and I was working my ass off at the factory to pay the gym and HBTB got out and the lyrics were like Lana's spirit talking for me and giving me all the power I didn't had the strength to have and convincing me that there was something worth it at the end. And the melody is just excellent. I don't care about the boring beat, it's what keeps me going. I completely understand why some people might not like it, it's a special song, and it really differs from the rest of the album. But I know I'm extra, but it does hurt me when everyone says it's one of Lana's worst songs.

Amazing thank you! Would it be possible to eventually get a link? And also I'm curious at how you did it, I'd like to know so I would do it the next times

King thank you so much!!!

Idk if I ship Blake more with Lana or with myself tbh he's daddy affff
