"Lolita"

 

The second bonus track on Born to Die is Lana's most playful song. Full of classic Del Rey imagery and suggestive lyrics, "Lolita" was written and composed by Lana, Liam Howe and Hannah Robinson and solely produced by Emile Haynie. The album version features heavy, repetitive beats, overdramatic orchestration and multiple sound effects; the demos, however, are quite different.

 

"Lolita" was a highlight at Lana's 2016 tour:

 

its a good song and the melodies get stuck in your head forever. also the way she sings in this song always reminded me of a mermaid lmao luv it

Not her best, but it's still an amazing song and it's just so Lana. Dark Paradise definitely doesn't deserve all this hate.
I also love the fact that we have so many versions that all sound quite different (album version, radio mix, "I got the ice, you got the fire" demo).

Now I can see where she added the black edges lol

Ps I voted for me in most extra member, if this isn't the most extranne thing you've ever heard of then I don't know what to tell you 

I cannot WAIT til the day Lana announces something.. Whether it's a title or a date... It's all building up

lol she's going to the women's march tomorrow we all know she's an Obama enthusiast. My friend traveled all the way across the country to go
 
 

She's probably just there to witness the inauguration (only moment in life where I hope she doesn't perform)

Literally screw all those who hate it, Dark Paradise is a great song. I listened to this song more than nearly any Lana song in 2012, it's beautiful.

The demo is fantastic

"Dark Paradise"

 

Definitely the most criticized song off the record. Whether you like it or not, you can't deny this dark, suicidal anthem goes hard live.

 

I have zero time today sorry

Hi everyone: for the safety of Lana and her new project, if you have any "exclusive information" about the new record, please do not tease/share it on the forums - this includes DMs as well. Keep it to yourself. I do not want LanaBoards to be the source of any information that may upset Lana and discourage her about her new album. She will tell us the information when she is ready. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Lots of love! x

I think I might cry it's so heartwarming!!

The video is already online. It's beautiful!

My handsome king 

Well, if you care that LanaBoards exists, and remains a mostly open discussion forum, these are pretty fundamental issues.  
Lana's management has insinuated legal threats against this forum in the past, and they've had other fan sites shut down, so it's important we minimize that risk. At the same time, they've also tried to censor us beyond legitimate takedown requests, and we shouldn't give in to that or self-censorship.
 
 

I know everyone likes to make everything out to be super dramatic, but this really isn't. We're all basically in agreement that we don't want the album to leak here, and we don't want people posting information about it from shady sources that might attract unwanted attention to the poster and the forum from Lana's management. I'm just quibbling with some of the wording because it sounded like it went against something I considered pretty fundamental to the forum. That's all.

tl;dr version
 
The mod staff unanimously agrees:
 
WE DO NOT WANT THE ALBUM, OR INFORMATION ABOUT IT OBTAINED IN QUESTIONABLE WAYS, TO LEAK HERE FIRST.
 
...but it's not really about "the safety of Lana" (nor should it be), it's about the safety of the forum, and our concerns that details seem to be leaking out, and our belief that Lana's management is taking that seriously and watching the community closely.

Nothing personal against @@Elle or the rest of the moderating staff, and I'm not trying to be a dick here (though probably succeeding), but I have some issues with the way this is worded (which have been partially echoed by other members like @@Atom Heart) that I tried to resolve privately, have not been addressed to my satisfaction, and I feel strongly about them, so I'm airing publicly much of what I said privately:
 
 
 
Mods don't have the ability to do this, and to my knowledge, I don't believe the admin does either. (Though I was always paranoid about this during the reign of King Tiarnan . And please let us know if that is possible @@Elle!) We have had an existing policy against trading in PMs which has understandably led people to speculate that we must have some ability to read PMs if we're talking about regulating them, but what that's really about is if someone reports to us that they were approached via PM about trading, or sends us a screenshot.
 
 
Now this way of saying it I agree with.
 
 
Without endorsing any of the specific points here, the overall thrust is exactly right: This idea of not posting stuff "that may upset Lana" is completely incongruous with what this forum is or should be. It's frankly absurd.
 
 
HDB is right. That's probably literally the worst example you could pick to make your point. But I think the Nowels leaks are a good example to illustrate what I think is and is not the appropriate role of the forum. In my personal capacity, I relentlessly warned people against leaking them beforehand and tongue-lashed people afterwards. But when I saw people start posting links to parts of Rick's site that I knew would almost certainly lead to the tracks leaking, I didn't use my mod powers to censor it. For one thing, it would've just drawn more attention to it and would ultimately have been futile. But her team fucked up, the files were publicly accessible, and therefore fair game to post, even if I didn't personally think it was wise to do so.
