i weep

Are you sure? Why has no one mentioned this omg

excuse the messy abbreviations, but here's mine: obviously my tastes also change a bit depending on my mood/the season/phases of the moon/depressive episodes ((((; how did you make these? i wanna do a lizzy bracket

SHE SNAPPED here i was thinking she couldn't top Por Vida......... how could i have been such a FOOL wtf like... i'm getting 80s vibes i'm getting tropical vibes i'm getting driving through miami w the top down in the heat of summer i'm ...wig

la reina is BACK i'm so excited for new music omg

Honeymoon I got the same result! Great quiz, @ <33333

i don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but it's kind of interesting that the Por Vida cover seems to have been replaced by this image, at least on Amazon and Spotify: it seems to me that this could be a means to set Por Vida apart as a mixtape-style project, and not a proper album hopefully this means the album is on its way

My friend bought the Cherry t-shirt at the Charlotte show, and aside from the cherries on the front, I believe it has the "Lana Del Rey" logo (the pretty one, not the BTD/UV/HM one) in red, on the back, near the collar. The gray LDR is where the tag would be on the inside. (I think.) I don't know if this is even still relevant, but :)

Okay, so, I don't know that there's really much I can say about the show without rehashing what others have said about other shows. I don't know that I really know what to say, either. But, I know that seeing Lana for the first time was one of the best nights of my life, ever! The setlist was beyond perfect -- songs I thought I wouldn't care anything about hearing live were just... fantastic, and songs I knew I'd love were transcendental -- but I'll get to that. Lana looked gorgeous, and was so sweet and so funny. She's so human, not even like seeing a celebrity on the stage. And, her vocals are so much more clear and textured and perfect in person -- so much more nuanced than I've ever heard in a video. There's just not really words for all the magic this night was for me, but I think you all understand that! However, to highlight the best moment of the night: I cried twice, as was expected -- once when she came out and sang "13 Beaches", but also when she performed "Yayo", which is to be absolutely expected, huh?! I sobbed like a baby from the first note of the guitar, and I won't hesitate to say it was one of the happiest moments I've ever had. The magnitude of that moment for me can't really be overstated. It was the moment that felt like the payoff of years of devotion to Lana, and it was the moment that I realized I wasn't just seeing Lana, but Lizzy too. That song means the world to me, and... it was too incredible. This didn't really come out the way I wanted to say it, but it doesn't matter. I think you all know exactly how I felt. I love her more than ever, and I'm not ever gonna forget that night -- I just hope she'll come back soon! "Put me onto your black motorcycle... 50's babydoll dress for my 'I do'. It only takes two hours to Nevada...I wear your sparkle, you call me your mama...let me put on a show for you, tiger..." (also, to anyone that was there: I don't know how loud I was, because both my hearing and my voice were kind of leaving me, but if you heard someone yelling for "Pawn Shop Blues" when she was taking requests, it was me )

not ALL of us hate Coachella now

okay but the fact that someone besides the fans is finally holding her to her word is promising and hopefully now she realizes that she can't just pretend she didn't say it and she's gonna have to deliver a product

please no

Hard to believe this is less than a week away! I can't wait either

we luv a tasteless legend

IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME I'm not the slightest bit sorry to say that I am the one (1!) Lana fan most deserving of a signed copy of AKA because... let's be real here, I'm Lizzy Grant Stan #1 I'm just kidding, of course! But, come on, don't say you don't agree

I love the shirt so much It's so cute

Yeah, I actually used it to construct this timeline! The reason to make a new one was to include things that either the Lanapedia timeline didn't include (certain recording dates, etc.) + posts and songs from Lana's social media (Myspace and Twitter). It's a super resource, though

So, after scrolling through what's available on Rob's Facebook, I'm just kind of... in awe. I'd like to make a more detailed, coherent post later, after doing some more reading, to connect him to certain songs -- but, for now, I just need to get thoughts out. Firstly, I'm just heartbroken at all the people who seem to really miss his presence -- he seemed to be a truly sweet guy who really impacted everyone he was around. Secondly, I'm feeling more and more that he's the missing link we've been looking for in Lana's music. I'm not sure if the time fits, but I can't help but reattribute a song like "Kill Kill" -- "I'm in love with a dying man/I have done everything I can..." -- to him, rather than K. I think she could've surrounded him with a lot of metaphorical death imagery, in her fear that she might lose him to drugs. Also, from reading the Facebook posts by his family, I'm gathering that he traveled a lot -- could this be the real-life inspiration for a song like "1949" -- which is obviously lifted from "Lolita", but could also carry a personal meaning for Lana, as she wishes he could take her on one of these globetrotting trips with him? It fits with the themes of "Yayo", of escaping with him. Also, I can't help but think that he's almost certainly the subject of "For K, Pt. 2", with the original demo being called "Rehab", and such. So, my question is, could she have met Rob early enough that he could be the subject of even the earliest K songs? For one, I know the name K has been believed to refer to a different man in her life, whose name I won't say here, but I really think K could be Rob -- couldn't the "death row" references just be another metaphor for her fear of losing him to death? I'm feeling that she knew he'd hear these early songs (maybe she even played them for him!), so she gave his character a pseudonym, and a fictionalized vice, so he wouldn't know that she was singing about his drug problem. It's a lot to take in, and I may be far off the mark. I read all the info late last night, so I need time to reprocess it, but I thought I'd at least get this initial information out of my head in some way. Also, I don't think this is *actually* significant, but... it's kind of funny. Names and pictures (except for his first name) have been blacked out for privacy, so I hope it's okay to post this here: K

Here's a little timeline I made, using some dates from the Lizzy years. A lot of it, towards the end, is just chronicling her Tweets, which may be excessive -- but might still provide interesting context. And, of course, it's far from done yet https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l6wDtgXSvCCmwuHrCxDWD5ha3DmzQDeKSSlgWyNCdlA/edit?usp=sharing The Early Shows section and the month-by-month chronology on the Wiki were absolutely indispensible.

"This is... this is a song I used to perform, about ten years ago. Let's see if I can remember the words... It's called 'Pin Up Galore'." CAN YOU IMAGINE

Wow. Out of all the times she's performed Yayo in the past couple years, this picture really took me back to Lizzy in a way none of the rest have. I don't know if it's something about the hair, the outfit, or -- more likely -- that look on her face, and the way she's posed, but something about this takes me way back to '07, and I suddenly see the bridge between Lizzy and Lana so well. Those little moments of clarity are always so sweet -- when you really see that she's still Lizzy Grant, all these years later. Don't you just wish the Lizzy of 2008, shyly playing her way through her sad-party little songs to a New York bar, could see the Lizzy of 2018 -- the girl hasn't changed too much, but the crowds sure have <3

Overall, I'm digging this setlist. Primarily LFL, with a few 'greatest hits' (Video Games, etc.), a few of ours and Lana's favorites (PWYC, Yayo...), and a couple curveballs (i.e. Scarborough Fair). It's not what I would've handpicked, but all in all, I'm pretty happy with it!

What's bad (?) is that I can't tell the difference

Anni-Frid who

I'd rather see her cut LFL than MTWBT, but HM is a good addition either way. I hope she's still making these little variations by the time my date rolls around! <3 (my one big hope is that she keeps Yayo until the 30th )
