Is This Happiness! With one of her best lines
 
"One gun on the table, headshot, if you're able" like goodness I cry a million tears.
 
Angels Forever Forever Angels is overall a beautiful song. Some of my favorite lyrics from it have to be
 
Does the ocean inspire, easy rider?
Do the stars and the wind take you higher?
You are California proud
You are angels of the night.
Rock and Roll guardians now
The last keepers of the light
 
And the rest of it actually I just love all the lyrics tbh

I highly appreciate this thread, idk why everyone started shitting on her lyrics in the HM thread, she is fantastic. I don't think people realize how hard it is to write lyrics until they try it themselves. Its very difficult.
 
Raise Me Up:
"It's the voodoo Mississippi south
69 million stars
birds are flying out of my mouth
spirits creeping in my yard"
 
Ride 
"I hear the birds on the summer breeze
I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard to not get into trouble but
I've got a war in my mind"
 
All of National Anthem except the chorus
 
...among many,  many others.

I think the outro of high by the beach is really good-it's more memorable than a good bit of her stuff-
"Anyone can start again
Not through love but through revenge
Through the fire, we're born again
Peace by vengeance, brings the end"
 
Also most of the songs listed under Actually Bad lyrics are my favorites from her

Loved this thread but you lost me at "Actually bad lyrics". There's no such thing.

Where the fuck are Elvis, 1949, Axl Rose Husband, Get Drunk, Raise Me Up!? Amazing lyrics right there
 
Also, there's nothing wrong with Lolita or Diet Mtn Dew.

Can you imagine a song titled Video Games to sound like a slow beautiful ballad ? I would never. One thing I learned from Lana is never judge a song by its name 

I actually love this, I'm going to listen to more of the Weeknd's stuff, he sounds good. Lana is fab on this song though, although I wish we could hear her more during the chorus.

HBTB was 4:18, could have been 4:20. a missed opportunity 

Oops, my hand slipped

Ultraviolence:
 
I used to be a member of an underground sect which was reigned by a guru. He surrounded himself with young girls and he had this insane charisma I couldn’t resist as well. So I was in this, I’ll call it sect, because I was longing for love and security. But then I found out that this guru wasn’t a good but a bad person. He thought that he had to break people first before he could build them up again. At the end I left the sect.
 
No, “Ultraviolence” look back on my time in New York. I was for a while part of a sloping underground scene, which was dominated by a guru. He believed in the concept, finished close people first and then rebuild. I fell for him because that time I longed for security.
 
The lyrics also mention a “cult leader,” and Ms. Del Rey said the song looked back to a time soon after she moved to New York City, when she considered following a guru who “believed in breaking you down to build you back up again.” “It sounds kind of weird,” she added, “but that is what it’s about, and having romantic feelings entwined with the idea of being led and letting go and surrendering. That’s always a concept to me, like I’m wavering between independence and falling into lifestyles and being led.”
 
There are so many things, really. I guess one of them is a personal experience I had with a person who believed in breaking you down to build you back up again. And although that mindset didn’t really agree with me, there was something freeing in letting go, for me, [with] this particular sort of guru-esque character. It’s a little bit about being in love with the act of surrendering, about being confused whether that’s a good idea.
 
 I think searching for guidance is a constant theme in my life. I knew relatively early on who I was. But I did not know exactly what I wanted to do. And I was always looking for people who are like me. So, I went at the age of 18 to New York. I was looking for this cool artist group, but I didn't find it. But I found someone who was like me. It was very interesting for me, we had a special relationship. He had built up a group that followed him. In the end, it wasn't right for me. 
 
The lyrics to UV make sense in this context. We have a guru (the "cult leader") who believes in breaking you down to build you back up again. Lana was in love with the idea of surrendering, and so him breaking her down felt like an act of kindness, especially since she felt lost at this time: "He hit me and it felt like a kiss." After the break down comes the reconstruction: "Jim raised me up, he hurt me but it felt like true love." However, Lana ultimately knew this wasn't right for her. "Jim taught me that loving him was never enough." The song seems to be a reminiscence, since Lana says this song is about her time when she was 18 in New York and the bridge says "we could go back to New York." She adds that "loving you was really hard." She says he "used to" call her DN and poison ivy, so she's singing in the present. The "I was filled with poison but blessed with beauty and rage/Jim taught me that" line seems very cultlike. One of the things cult leaders do is make you believe that there's some incredible thing waiting to be unlocked but that normally you can't access it. Of course, the cult leader can access it and that's why you should follow him and trust him. Jim "taught her" that she was "filled with poison" and he called her "poison." Not very positive things to say.
 
The nature of this relationship is unclear. She says it was a "sect-like" thing and refers to him as "guru-esque," so she doesn't think it was a straight up cult. She calls their relationship a "special relationship," but that can mean anything. One of her comments was about "having romantic feelings entwined with the idea of being led and letting go and surrendering." I'm not sure if "romantic feelings" refers to the guru or to the idea of surrendering. This whole thing would have happened in 2003, before she would have recorded Sirens! It's before any boyfriends we know of, too.
 
With this in mind, I wonder if Cruel World is also about this guru. "Shared my body and my mind with you" would be very appropriate for a cult leader. Cruel World is very unspecific. All we know about this guy is he had a lot of women, a bible and a gun, and he used heroin.

i think it makes perfect sense to release 'honeymoon' next precisely because we've heard it already. i was really surprised it wasn't the track that went up with the preorder first. i'm happy about it if it's really coming. 'Honeymoon' slays and i can't wait to hear it in hq. Plus as much as I'm dying for the album, I don't want too many unheard songs beforehand.

were on page 420 
 
high by the boards

I'm not sure whether I like Crybaby or Badlands better both fkn rock tho

Let @@AngelHeadedHipster be, some other members deserve to be banned much more than her so stfu, if you don't like something just ignore it, this is the internet, if you're done with what you read then just click next page and your problems will be gone, ugh, some of you are really awful 

what's your damage heather
 
this forum is overflowing with useless comments and whatever about snatched wigs and "YAAASS" and other bullshit. the fake lyrics and tracklistings more or less just cut through it.

I can't stop calling the Honeymoon Hotline. Its my favourite thing so far this era!
 
 

OMG this post is THE truth, I agree 100%. The production of the 3 tracks we heard is so lackluster. There's no hook, it doesn't grab you. It's like Rick and that other guy are trying to make a "jazzy" sound and then a "trap beat" but they don't have enough experience with those genre so it sounds so basic. Where are the Mark Ronson tracks? They had 10 songs MONTHS ago. She scrapped them already? Rick is good to make demos but then she has work with someone else for the final product. 
 
I'm still amazed at the beat of stuff like Blue Jeans and I listen to everyday. In fact, I went out with my friends today and we were blasting Off to the races, Blue Jeans and Born to Die at full bass in the car and it still sounded so HOT (I usually listen to it on my phone with headphones). 

I still love Ultraviolence the best and if she were to revisit a concept or musical style, I would rather it be the live-sounding psychedelic rock Auerbach production.
 
I feel the production on Honeymoon so far is really weak. On HM, there isn't enough percussion and you can't really stay alert through 6 minutes of mostly strings and piano and the verses are far too monotonous. On HBTB, I love the trap influenced beat but think it could be more prominent. I think the production for the bridge of TLY is pretty much perfect but is somewhat generic for the rest of the song. I also dislike the jarring layering of her voice at the part where she sings "And I still get trashed..." (also dark blue dark blue). Overall, of the songs so far, the melodies are ok(HM verses/HBTB chorus) to good (HM chorus/HBTB verses) to brilliant (HM bridge/TLY bridge) but the production is uninspired. I had heard great things about Rick Nowels.
 
Though Emiles production is divisive, Born To Die wouldn't be the record it is without it. The samples and hip hop elements juxtaposed with the orchestral elements really made the songs unique and amazing. Ultraviolence production was a symphony of layered rock sounds with guitars and heavy drums (while being varied, eg Old Money, FMWUTTT) and it was one of the areas where critics applauded. However, production for this album is worrying. Although Lanas voice is powerfully beautiful, the songs released so far suffer from there not being great instrumentation to complement it. Sometimes I like to listen to the instrumentals of songs from BTD/UV. I don't see myself particularly wanting to listen to the instrumentals of the songs released so far.

Can I just say that "But I've still got jazz when I've got the blues" is a great lyric. I love it so much, and I wasn't tooooo impressed by TLY (I didn't think it was that bad, though).
