Yeah, I can imagine something like this:
Lana: "Let's do a new one!"
The public is going apeshit
Lana facing her band asking rhetorically: "We never did this one?"
Band: "No"
Lana singing an a capella "version" of LiB just 1 verse and the chorus
Lana laughing awkwardly to the public and sticking cutely her tong out
The first rows are going apeshit
Lana: "Let's do Carmen"  

Scarface or You're Gonna Love Me

I hear"Is this a penis?" ~I think those are the correct lyrics~
 
The title is just like Old Money -not mentioned in the song-

I despise the H&M campaigns and all the big hair looks like the El Rey theatre or the National Anthem video. I don't know why, it's intimidating me and she looks mean, not really herself, can't pinpoint. Also the Uomo shoot is a big mess, the makeup and hair are weird as f. And also, but that's just me, I really like her trashier, messier looks, more than the smooth looks. She is elegant in a very particular way when she's natural and not all dressed up. And I think Summertime Sadness is by far one of her worst songs, anyway all the songs she said are her favourites from the albums, are the worst to me :') And practically all the bonus songs are really weaker. Ugh, cringing at my own list though, why so much hate

Thank ya! Very interesting, that's what I thought but never saw this as a love letter, will listen to the whole album again with this point of view 

Ok so I'm sorry, I actually DID read the 68 pages and it (unfortunately?) was one of the wildest rides of my life and it took me like 3 days in total or something, but I don't have the courage to read it again, and I'm sure it has already been brought but I'm really wondering whether or not Is This Happiness has been attributed to Barrie. Seems a hundred percent a Barrie song for me and it's in the end of Ultraviolence and it seems like she's closing her time with him... Idk. It seems so unbelievably obvious to me.

I agree it's bugging me too... Probably an enormous reach but could it be that she herself was suffering from anorexia? When I see some pictures from the trailer park era she looks incredibly thin idk... Maybe this was written at this time while remembering boarding school, and she was talking about herself? No idea if we know when it was written and the dates don't correspond though and I'm probably just wishing she hadn't said that a little bit too hard it just doesn't make sense, the more I reread myself the less it seems that it could be that

Omfg I'm a million years late but I'm practically crying at the Born To Die on the first page. So much better than the original, you're insanely talented. 

EDIT: I'm screaming out loud at Old Money remix this is the best thing that happened to me this week

new 
 

 
You sure?
 

You're Gonna Love Me kills me. It really really does. I can't believe how much I love this song. Serial Killer and St Tropez too, and TOSTB and MPG and Dark Paradise and I'm forcing hard myself to stop because I can legit cite half her discography, but holy crap, You're Gonna Love Me is out of this world, it's surreal. I love everything about it. She has so many songs ugh it's impossible to choose 

May be wrong but I think the stylist is a guy and the hair stylist is a girl, the guy being still Johnny Blue Eyes and the girl being Anna Cofone because in the shoot picture on her instagram Anna Cofone tagged Johnny Blue Eyes
 
Anyway I'm extremely excited can't wait for a new big production

Wow thanks for the feedback.
 
Yeah I agree about the theorists. I don't understand why it's academically required, it's frustrating. Just because it's not printed in a book doesn't mean it's less worthy. Besides I'm pretty sure the people he named are a bit far stretched from my subject and in only 3500 words I couldn't expend much. But I also recognize I should have researched more. I found so many things after finishing and submitting it ugh. I want to continue writing on the subject including all I didn't found first.
 
That is extremely interesting. To be honest I wasn't quite sure about what I was writing, and I actually found that using only Lana fandom to confront religion and fandoms was restricting, so again it seemed quite a reach when I wrote this. I'm fascinated by this act though, the act of kissing fans on the mouth, with all the cultural implications it has, and I highly appreciate your Sid Vicious input, thank you! It's part of what makes Lana so peculiar in my eyes; her acts of transgression are so "connected" and relevant to the rest of what she does, like she does what she wants and she means it, it's cheesy bit it's a bit like a """"soft revolution"""",  and I absolutely agree with you saying that it's what makes people question her authenticity. In my eyes she's obviously authentic, even in her lies and fantasies. Because she puts her idea of what is beautiful before everything, like her Grazia quote, "I like the idea that truth shouldn't cross the path of a good lie", something along the lines. I find it very elegant of her to express this kind of unsettling bare-boned authenticity in a way that remains completely accurate to herself. Oh God sorry I'm not sure if that sounds as good as it did in my head. Anyway, I'm really haunted and fascinated by this particular subject so thanks a lot for your input!

Sorry if it has already been brought, It might be fake but I suddenly remembered this, did this happened before or after she announced Music to Wath Boys To? Because the Velvet thing might be Velvet Crowbar idk maybe I'm just reaching because I love this song too much and I desperately want it
 
 

I don't exactly expect her to rehash old stuff, and I'd obviously much rather have new songs and probably would be slightly disappointed if she actually reused stuff, especially knowing how productive she can be, but in the very unlikely case she feels the need to reuse previous songs to fit a particular mood or mindset, which Lana being Lana is not COMPLETELY impossible and could in fact be more interesting if we're talking about her ""artistic vision"", I wouldn't mind it, especially if it's songs I know I love already. It would just get them be more known. And I agree with Hundred Dollar Bill, I'd gladly give a kidney and five years of consciousness for a clear studio version of YGLM and some others, even though I suspect that part of the beauty of the songs are their raw roughness. And she did mentioned Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, but as it has been brought already, we never can be sure of what to expect haha. Who knows what that means in her head. In any way, I'm dying of excitement and I really hope she does promo 

when ultraviolence came out I was legitimately shocked at how different it was. I'd never heard Lana sing that way on a track before, her voice never sounded so pretty as in brooklyn baby, as emotional as in pretty when you cry or as free spirited as the other woman. I want to feel like that again when listening to a new album

Yeah I thought it'd be fake. Passing false information wasn't my intention though, my apologies, but the thirst is real.
