  1. What are your favourite covers people have done of Lana? I adore all of Alice's covers but particularly the one of one of my favourite Lana songs.
  2. I know it's not been long if you've even listened to the album yet but here's my new Lana album rankings after LFL: 1. BTD / Paradise 2. Honeymoon 3. Ultraviolence 4. Lust For Life I think I have based my decision purely because certain albums have certain songs on that I treasure and LFL hasn't had enough time for me to love the songs.
  3. Lust For Life 13 Beaches Cherry Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind Groupie Love In My Feelings
  4. Each record marks a different stage in my life. This is something that I've only experienced with Lana, and whilst in recent years I haven't been very connected to her music, she's always in my heart and will forever be my favorite artist. Born To Die; Reminds me of my teenage years, especially with songs like Blue Jeans, TIWMUG, Carmen, SS and National Anthem. It reminds me of the summer and of my freedom before life got serious and it inspired me to be creative through my image and my life in general. Each song was like a movie and it will always hold a special place in my heart for the album that set me off in my own song writing. Paradise; Such a sexy album! I remember this came out about the same time I lost my virginity and with songs like Cola, Body Electric and Gods & Monsters I can see why. I used to wake up to the artwork every morning as I had a poster of it on my bedroom wall so again it reminds me of being a teenager. It really made me appreciate Lana as a visual artist when Tropico came out and I went to see her live in concert after this album so hearing all the songs live with my Mum holds dear memories for me. Ultraviolence; This represents a really sad time in my life, suffering from depression and anxiety, I cried every time I listened to the song Ultraviolence because the guy I loved didn't know it and we went to the same college and seeing him around killed me "I could've died right there, cause he was right beside me". I also used to listen to it on the extremely long journey to and from work (I used to finish work at midnight and it took a 45 minute bus ride home) again feeling very lonely and isolated from everyone, I only had myself and Ultraviolence as a friend. I still love the album though and I don't resent it despite the hard times. Honeymoon; Talk about life imitating art. When Honeymoon came out I had just moved to University and whilst I was in a better way, I was living life in like a day dream and everything was chaotic, I was chaotic. So listening to songs like 'Salvatore' and 'High By The Beach' I could escape real life and live in the fantasy of Honeymoon and be exported to the stories Lana told, which was easy to do with jazz music. 'The Blackest Day' broke my heart and still continues to do so, I think because again I was lonely, it really felt like "it's not one of those phases I'm going through, or just a song, I'm on my own again, on my own" but Honeymoon is a great album I don't care what anyone says. Lust For Life; So I transferred Universities and moved home to my boyfriend, I got a dog and she's my baby and I take walks every day and life seems so much clearer to me now. Don't get me wrong I get down like everyone, but I'm getting my Lust For Life back and whilst it's a slow process I am working on fulfilling my dreams. I can't wait to carry a new LDR album into my life with me like I have done with every previous one. And like Lana with her features, I might let more people into it.
  5. Heard the album snippets. Beautiful! Very May Jailer.

    How are people listening to Glory? I need a link!
  7. I believe Salvatore is the washed down version of Old Money (no shade)
  8. The Blackest Day made me cry especially when she sings the lyric "I'm on my own again".

    You want more? You want more? You want more of my pussy GaGa cause imma give it to ya hoe! Well that's what I hear
  11. For me it's TLY > HBTB > MTWBT > Honeymoon. I always look forward to Lana's bridges as they are usually climatic and emotional hence why TLY and HBTB are my favs right now. For some reason I thought this song would be more pop or commercial but I was wrong, I like the chorus. No song has struck me yet like TIWMUG, WY, SS, UV or OM.
  12. Can't wait for the whole thing x
  13. "I can do it if you really, really like that"
  14. Good job guys! I edited the OP. Sorry my original write up was so wrong and shit it was from the live version, I never would've guessed lemonade!
  15. He used to call me DN It stood for deadly nightshade Cause I was filled with poison But blessed with beauty and rage Jim told me that he hit me and it felt like a kiss Jim brought me back Reminded me of when we were kids [Chorus] With his ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence He used to call me poison Cause I was poison ivy I could have died right there Cause Jim was right beside me Jim raised me up He hurt me but it felt like true love Jim taught me that Loving him was never enough With his ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence We can go back to New York Cause loving you was really hard We can go back to Woodstock Where they don't know who we are Heaven is on earth I would do anything for you, babe Blessed is this union Crying tears of gold, like lemonade [spoken] I love you the first time I love you the last time Yo soy la princesa, comprende mis white lines Cause I'm your jazz singer And you're my cult leader I love you forever I really love you forever With his ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence Ultraviolence I can hear sirens, sirens He hit me and it felt like a kiss I can hear violins, violins Give me all of that ultraviolence.
  16. Personally I love it and wouldn't mind if it's the real album cover. But, I hope the deluxe version has a more conventional cover with a bit of colour. Hopefully she doesn't just change the color of the text like she did with BTD Deluxe.
  17. I just find it odd on that poster that they would write SS, with Bel Air, G&M + BE to promote paradise? Fair enough with SS as the remix was a worldwide hit but the others I don't get because surely it would say Ride as that was the lead single? Or maybe they put Summertime Sadness there so that people who aren't die hard Lana fans but just know of her because of SS will watch Tropico? I'm confused myself because I'm sure SS isn't in Tropico.
  18. It probably won't be released for ages the amounts of filters she'll wanna put on this thing... I bet G+M will be black and white.
  19. I bet the one in mid-air w/ albino model is Body Electric (probs obv) and stripper is Gods & Monsters. I was shocked to see Lana in dressed in just that bikini and stripper boots I mean it's SO Lizzy but not Lana idk I hope it's good.
  20. How come they don't sell the Flask or Lighter on the UK store? I really want one. I'd love the lyric book too but I'd rather buy a pair of shoes
  21. Yep i'm going! haha im such an indecisive person but I finally made my mind up. I'm going to take a camera with me, it's a really good one for filming particularly but not professional so hopefully i can film it. and well, i'm hopefully meeting with some twitter people before the show, so i'll discuss with them if we're going to try and meet her afterward or something, i hope so though!
