is Catch and Release a 2009 or 2010 track? i've always had it down as 2010, but i'm getting conflicting reports

As strange as it sounds, I can actually see it being "wide"-- considering the lyric "I do my hair up, all high and wide" from Trash Magic

Eliminate: Born to Die, Blue Jeans Immunity: Off to the Races

WIN: YAYO (this was the hardest choice, omg)

You know, I don't think it would be that difficult! Drive By is the earliest of her 'death row' songs, no? (and certainly the most literal of them)-- so, that was recorded in 2005... that means K, or whoever was on death row, if anyone was, was already there by 2005. Presuming this took place in New York, NY didn't completely repeal the death penalty until 2007, so the timeframe fits. If there were a list of death row inmates in NY around 2003/5, I'm sure one of the great sleuths here could dig up some possible candidates.

FOR K, PT. 2 (are y'all crazy? kill kill is a masterpiece )

If sis trayer's theory is correct, then here's what I think: I think Lana's lyrics about a man on death row, one who we presumed to be K, was still someone she legitimately knew and loved. I think the death row sentence was very real, as was the man, as evidenced by the constant recurrence of the theme and the personal nature of the lyrics/subject. However, I think K was used interchangeably with this other man she also cared a lot about-- in essence, she melded Josh and this man on death row together (two of her great loves, possibly) to create this hybrid dream man who also suffers a poetically beautiful fate.

iconic queen of sleuthing... i'm amazed that the K Code may have finally been cracked!!!! although it loses some of the poetic appeal of him being on death row/dying, it's still incredible

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS THIS IS A GROSS MISUSE OF ELIMINATION GAMES HOW COULD Y'ALL but, anneways... eliminate: Oh Say Can You See, For K Pt. 2 immunity: Raise Me Up

You do you sis, but I can't believe you'd eliminate the heavenly bops Kill Kill and PMIAM over FKP2... it's a very good song too, but still... this is GODLY territory we're getting into now

Eliminate: Oh Say Can You See, For K Pt. 2 Immunity: PUT ME IN A MOVIE (just call me miss @CrazySister because I'm going to fight for PMIAM to my GRAVE and BACK! this is my favorite bop of Miss Lana Del Rey's entire career, so y'all best not knock the good sis out now. no ma'am )

I've been relating to Black Beauty a lot in particular, lately. Knowing that Barrie's depression is part of what broke he and Lana up, combined with Lana's writing on Black Beauty, has really put me closer to Lana lately. I am also dating someone with severe depression right now, so I really relate to Lana's statements that hers and Barrie's relationship was "challenging, but rewarding" or something along those lines. It's tough to deal with a significant other with depression, and it's that way every single day. It raises a lot of doubt in myself, and there are times where I get so close to letting my girlfriend go, because it seems too difficult-- but, like Lana said, it's also "rewarding" in a lot of ways to hold on and stay, because I really do love her, and the good times are very, very good. The lyrics of Black Beauty hit home with me in a major way. My girlfriend's depression causes her to see the world in such a skewed way-- she's very cynical, she doesn't trust anyone, she believes the whole world is, at its heart, bad and evil. I, being someone with limitless faith in everyone and everything, have felt so backed into a corner by this. Life's so beautiful to me, but like Lana in that song, I can't make her see that. My hands are tied. There's nothing I can do to change her, so I try to change myself and see the world how she sees it (with varying degrees of success-- I'm such an optimist at heart.) It's frightening sometimes, and always very disheartening and depressing, because there really is such a lot of wonder and beauty out there, but I can't get that through to her. Leave it to Lana to hit me right through the heart with her lyrics

#1 is one of her best looks ever, and most unusual Serving straight-up 1973 McCall's sewing pattern realness with that dress
