actually i dont really mind that, after everything this very song went through, I can accept the fact that this song never actually belonged to any era. She literally pulled this song out for almost every album she made after UV era, at this point it's a stand-alone single for me.

Reached out to Robert Logan and got some more info.
 
The 4:00 version of the song is the first version of the song, created on the spot with Logan. He told me he knows the other version (3:47) of the song exists but had no part in it and didn't know if it was fanmade or done by another producer.

I think the most bizarre thing about the setlist is just the consistency that she's been playing most of the same songs since 2012 18. I mean choices like Bartendes are super left-field when you think about it, but she literally sang it during the Norman Fucking Rockwell Tour and just kept it there. Reminds me of when she just re-used the Change/Young and Beautiful medley as well like... girl move on.
 
 

Beauty recognizes beauty  she’ll see you and know what she must do 

who else is excited to hear Bartender again!!!!! 

Beauty recognizes beauty  she’ll see you and know what she must do 

Beauty recognizes beauty  she’ll see you and know what she must do 

Beauty recognizes beauty  she’ll see you and know what she must do

Anyways, this is me not giving up.

Oh this is everything…. And could so be legit, I’m obsessed w the pic discs

Just earmarking this in light of the new Billy/Alabama lore… 

in my dream
June 13 2014 — release of a standard edition of Ultraviolence
July 19 2014 — a fully fleshed out Ultraviolence B-Sides album with a tracklist:

2. Guns and Roses
3. Fine China
4. Your Girl
5. Florida Kilos
6. I Talk to Jesus
7. Say Yes to Heaven
8. Is This Happiness
9. Flipside

I would strongly encourage everyone to listen to this interview ahead of the anniversary. She's super open about the inspiration for the album.
Really interesting piece of information where she says her and Dan Auerbach met at The Riviera Gentleman's Club in Queens. I'd never read this before and there's nothing on Google?!?!
 
Holy shit as I'm typing this I realise the "Riviera girls" lyric in Ultraviolence and Fucked My Way To The Top is a reference to the dancers at this club 

Oh this is everything…. And could so be legit, I’m obsessed w the pic discs

Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence 10th Anniversary Edition 3LP & Deluxe CD Mockup

She was destined for this 
 

She was destined for this 
 

Lana in an interview for Les Rockutibles 2017 on how Terrence Loves You was born:
 

This is easily in my top-10 Lana songs. It's truly beautiful. 
 
I recently introduced my Mum to Lana Del Rey and she told me a story of how her friend was at the same psychiatric ward as David Bowie's half-brother, Terrence (Terry). Apparently David would come to visit him regularly and they would talk about art, spirituality, and poetry (this was during the 1970s, I think). They were incredibly close, and David was apparently extremely down to earth, kind, and gentle. 
 
The way the song switches between the story of David and Terry and then Lana and herself, Lana and Barrie — so incredibly heartbreaking. The bridge makes me sob every single time.
 
The bridge: 

"I put the radio on, hold you tight in my mind
Isn't strange that you're not here with me
I'm putting all the lights on and the television
Trying to transmit, can you hear me?"
 
Reminds me of this part of Fingertips: 

"To get to you, save you if I take my life
Find your astral body, put it into my eyes
Give you two seconds to cry
Take you home, I, I'll give you a blanket
Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side"
 
Both trying desperately to reach out beyond this world to someone who isn't there anymore ...
