Escapism

It's not for pre-order in the US version of amazon. It doesn't come out for me at all actually.
 
Someone on this fansite already got a copy....? https://vk.com/ldrey
 

real or imaginary? i say real

There's something really off w her face, noticed it a while ago

Maleficent 2 soundtrack?
Alice in wonderland 2 (with Johnny Depp, Danny Elfman doing music) soundtrack? Saw a coming attraction, no songs on it yet
 
Would be great if on M2 Lana gets an original song so it can be Oscar nominated.
 
Lana's stock has gone up even more, what with America and the world seeing the absolutely horrible live performances of
both Sam Smith and Adele recently. (and then Sam's self-congratulatory fucking up what Sir Ian said).
 
Maybe there will be a new original song on the Norman R. motorcycle show?

Gurl, it's a personal Playlist and not an official release to not be able to contain 20 songs. Playlists can contain any number of songs. Go check out more playlists by LB members on : http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/795-your-favorite-lana-playlists/

no t no shade to marina bc i love her dearly but HM sold 116k first week and Froot sold 46k so I don't get the comparison

her fillers are fading 

It was kinda meh. The visuals were beautiful but it was quite clear they were just slapped over the top of Freak just so the footage could be released in full. 
 
Although I usually tend to prefer music videos with story/plot lines, I have come to accept that Lana doesn't always go down that route, and I've come to love her videos like West Coast, Shades of Cool, and so on, that are more focused on the visual aspect of things rather than the story. But with Freak, the visuals didn't even make sense at all. At least Music To Watch Boys To followed a theme of Lana reversing the male gaze and watching the boys instead. But Freak just doesn't have a meaning at all to me. It's a bunch of old footage with a new song slapped over the top, and 5 minutes of more old footage with a song that has absolutely nothing to do with the song Freak, or the video at all.

So lately I've been making Lana Del Rey instrumentals...
So I decided to make Unreleased instrumentals too.
You can also write in comments which songs do you want me to make an instrumental for, and I'll make it in no time!

There will be more soon

everything looks great and visually appealing in the video
but it seems lacking of something???
it feels empty.
 
the first part, i get it, but it all seems like random unused UV footage montage, 
the second part, i get it too, but i don't know why it lasts for like 5 mins.
 
AND how could they keep FJM as a secret cast for 2 years
 
anyways, at least we now have the original UV music video now.
hope she will really film something new for her next video (if there is any)

I can't get over how good she looked last night. She looked happy and HER AUBURN HAIR WAS BACK and her outfit wasn't amazing but it wasn't trifling either. I literally never thought we would ever get to see the return of the auburn hair again, but here we are. I love when she does things like dye her hair back and sing unreleased songs on tour. Unpredictable queen.

I'm just waiting for this so someone can mute/edit it and finally give us the UV music video we wanted

Do we have a thread dedicated to how Ultraviolence Should have been? If not I'm making one. If we do, please direct me to it because i feel not a lot of people know what happened 

if the UV era was like this, itd be orgasmic. i wish Brooklyn Baby, Black Beauty, and Florida Kilos got music videos

Yeah, I get that but I feel like they made the wrong choice.
 
Lana would have been the controversial queen of 2014 and the streaming would have been HUGE for ha.
 
I mean the cover promoting smoking (original cover) [badass and controversial]
- West Coast (heavy drug use)
- Shades of Cool (death scene in video right after controversial guardian interview)
- UV (Jonestown omg)
 
Honestly speaking, it was controversy (well on top of good music) what made Born To Die so huge and iconic. First the accusation of authenticity (Lips, Surgery, blah), Snl, etc.
 
The UV era would have been truly "Ultraviolent", but it was intentionally tamed down.

As pop as possible. Catchy choruses, well-written bridges and properly pronounced verses. She should also work with Emile again.
 
This whole "I want to be appreciated as a writer and an artist" thing ain't working for her, see Grammys or this years End year's lists. Commercial Lana slays anyway and why we all fell in love with her.
 
She should get rid of Rick Nowels.
 
ETA: Oh and yeah, she should stop trying to be jazzy. Dear Lana, singing a bunch of aaaah's and ooooh's, just because you're running out of ideas for proper lyrics in a song, doesn't make you a jazz singer.

In before Lana follows her cowgirl routes à la God Knows I Tried western theme...

Hoping for a tracklist like this...
Off to the Rodeo Music To Watch Cowboys To Ride (Wild West Version) Wild West Coast Million Dollar Cowboy Cowboys & Indians Burnt Desert Sad Cowgirl High By The Horse Range Black Beauty Guns and Cactii Wild West Baby The Other Cowgirl Stable Song  
 

the next halsey tbh

Her BTD era videos were iconic, SOC is probably the only mv that's been as good as the ones from BTD.

Let's not forget my incredible post

Before the Honeymoon sampler I think people were reaching given the lyrics of Ultraviolence but she also posted pictures around that time (if I remember correctly) that were speculated to be linked to some other cultish type thing that was here in America but I don't remember what it was exactly. I think now that the sampler footage is out and thinking of the potential connection between the scenes and UV song I think it is slightly more plausible but I'm prepared for anything with Lana.
 
As to why she now feels like she can release the video, she isn't coming off the heels of an "I wish I was dead already" article or an album with lyrics like "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" which is why a "controversial" video right now isn't as big of a deal.
 
 
 
 
That is true but the fact that she did film the UV video around the same time and captions like "Vice running shit" seem to point it was a video for UV or at least a song on the UV album. I'd like to think though that some of these visuals influenced the music that eventually came to be Honeymoon since she didn't use them and this time would probably be about when she was beginning to write Honeymoon.
 
 
My thoughts: If this is what the UV video was supposed to be, based on the sampler footage and just what we know so far, I'm glad it got scrapped and used for Honeymoon instead. I don't think visuals match anything within Ultraviolence - the song or the album. Watch the UV trailer, watch the videos from that era (minus UV because we know that was a mess and probably not what Lana really wanted), listen and visualize the imagery in the songs and I just don't think it matches the whole beachside thing she had going. At best it was a cool concept for a video but I think what we've seen so far matches a song like Freak and an album like Honeymoon a whole lot more. Obviously can't say for sure until the full thing comes out. Just my opinion

Personally I would have loved a Salvatore video. Just imagine Lana's pursed lips, deliciously licking a sweet ice cream, driving around Little Italy in a black limousine with a hot Italian man by her side. Meh. At least Freak has a very unique sound and I could imagine her doing a lot with it visually, even though it's not a favourite from Honeymoon. I'm just glad she's inspired again, hopefully this isn't the last we see from Lana for like another year though. 

inb4 this is just another way for Lana to add more disappointment to our miserable, drained, promo-less lives

this would still probably happen smh "Excited to present my new jazzy, soft grunge album 'Queen of New York City', produced by Kieron Menzies and artwork by Chuck"
