I love the fact that you're as obsessed and incessant w/My Song 57 as I am w/Mertens' AKA

something we'd die for, it's a curse

I wouldn't say the title is *definitely* fanmade
 
A while back, I asked a similar question, and a member (forgive me for not remembering who) shared screenshots of the original torrent. So far as anyone knows, that torrent is where No Kung Fu originally leaked, and it was leaked under that title. The veracity of that title depends on who that original leaker was, but it seems it must've been someone close to Lizzy (with some speculating that it could've even been David Kahne). 
 
I can't seem to find the screenshot that includes the leaker's description of the torrent, but here's another screenshot that shows that the NKF title has been linked to the tape since it leaked:
 

 
So, I suppose there's just as much (if not more) reason to believe that the title's legittt
 
(Also, assuming that the title "No Kung Fu" didn't just come off the top of a fan/leaker's head, where might it have come from? It's strange enough that I'm willing to believe Lizzy coined it. However, could it be code for something? It sounds like a bit of a stretch, but I can imagine "NKF" being the real initials of a Lizzy title, and in a personal source's reluctance to reveal it, they just assigned a bogus title to the real initials, so it could still contain some nod to the original. Or, perhaps, they got ahold of a CD that Lizzy had written "NKF" on, and they filled in the acronym? It's a puzzling title, to be sure.)

Unbelievably stunning Always grateful to be blessed w/your pics in the Pictures of You thread

Made this one for Lana's more poppy unreleased songs for my iTunes library.

My name is Lana Del Rey. I'm the actual Lana, or at least, that's how it feels sometimes. Watching Elizabeth Grant perform my life and my legends through celluloid and spotlights brings a new perspective to the world and the name that I once made for myself. Now that I'm no longer, the biographical nature of her career allows me to live synchronously and vicariously, and I am alive again.
 
It all started when I was born. I don't remember being born, although I suppose that no one really does anyway. But while most people don't remember being born because they're babies and they haven't developed a working memory, I can't remember a thing because I was so drunk and high. I was living on the edge from the moment I saw the light of day, and I knew that those cocaine dreams and speed lights were all I'd ever see when I closed my eyes at night. I sang myself lullabies of life on the road and Pabst Blue Ribbon before I could even speak. Don't ask how I could do this-- I was always an unusual girl. 
 
When I was 16 years old my momma sent me to boarding school. It was there that I subsisted off of a diet of sparkling vodka and angel food cake sprinkled with cocaine. Instead of going to class, I spent my days at the plastic surgeon fucking with my lips snorting cocaine off of the receptionists desk at a plastic surgery clinic because my dealer was a practicing MD who wanted to live life larger than what even a doctor's salary could provide. 
 
After High School, I attended Fordham University and studied Metaphysics. My thesis was titled "Issues of the Daddy: How Boldly Empowered Women Fall into the Arms of Weak Men". Within the body of my paper was just the word "money". The footnotes were twenty pages long of my favorite Jim Morrison lyrics. 
 
Then I took on a life on the open road, riding on the backs of the motorcycles of men who haven't seen a shower for years and sleeping under arcade machines. When I wasn't living wild and free, I was marrying Kennedy's and staring vacantly at parlors of people. I once did a gig in Vegas that a buddy of mine found where I would lie on the ground and look like I was dead until someone put a quarter in the jukebox. Then, I'd come alive again, and promptly fall to the ground as soon as the music stopped rolling. In this way, I was cinematic, animatronic, hypnotic, before cinema even took shape in our world, my world, a world that is simultaneously vintage and before its time. 
 
After dying about twelve times and only being impregnated with God's child about four, I started going on tours through the Hollywood Hills and sneaking into the homes of the wealthy so I could wear their diamonds and pearls and snort all their cocaine while they weren't home. Occasionally, I'd fuck some husbands, but usually it'd be the elderly don who sat by the fire in everyone's home. Sometimes I wondered why every single Hollywood mansion had the same old man sitting in front of an identical fireplace, but then I thought to myself, "Well, it is Hollyweird, after all." I then snorted more coke. 
 
But things got precarious for me. The government started to question my exploits, and how I've simultaneously been every first lady and occasionally the president for so many years of America's history. They theorized that I might be as old as America herself, or in fact, Lady Liberty in a grand disguise. I tried throwing money at the agents when they came to my door, and I even had sex with two of them. It was no use. I had to hide somewhere more grand. 
 
I moved into the Hollywood sign. Don't ask me how I did it, or how I fit. I know that I was fatter in those Honeymoon days, but those days are over and I eat raw, organic coke now and I'm also gluten free. My Summer home is within the core of the moon, our glorious planetary body, donned with America's grand old flag. My goal is to one day establish a society on the moon where beautiful young people can flourish and thrive. But until then, I'm going to get back to my reading. I'm currently carving through "A Dictionary of Modern Slang", and I'll be "with it" in no time at all. 
 
But be warned. I am always keeping a watchful eye from within my mansion. The last time a little gay tried to leak my music, I gave him a ticket to the moon as accompanied by me. A one-way trip, in fact. 
 
Until tomorrow, if it ever comes

MY SONG 57

Honestly, as many unleaked tracks there are that I'd love to hear, if Mertens' AKA would leak, I'd be content. AKA means soooo much to me, and the leaks I get most excited about are leaks from that era (The Ocean, Roller Dirby, Wayamaya, etc.) because it's the closest to having more tracks on that album. Therefore, to have Mertens' AKA, I'd finally have alternate versions of my favorite songs in the world, but also versions produced by my favorite producer to work with Lana. 
 
I'm gonna cry when (not if; I'm willing this leak into existence) it leaks. I'm gonna be in shock for several days. It means *that* much to me.
 
this is a not-so-carefully coded cry for help. leak the album. i need it;

don't really read this thread but the title is KILLING me...we don't crave for food, we crave food.

List of songs Rick Nowels has participated in.

Rick is Lana's favourite.

 

Hello all! I figured to kind of take our minds away from the release date fiasco I thought I would share a new piece I worked on! 
'my celluloid scenes are torn at the seams' is a fucking fantastic lyric! This is my cover art for 'Cherry' .. I went for a Hollywood noir type feel.. I like to make my cover art based off of the imagery I get from the song itself! The imagery in this particular song was very beautiful, very dark, very sensual, and very UV to me! I envisioned flames in the background while listening to this track! I cannot wait for the studio version! Hope you all like it! I also liked the idea of textless cover art! And the PA image is just my thing lol 
Please credit me if you do use it!

LOVE IT! <3 
 
Reminds me of these pictures of Lizzy:
 

The background are Lana's lips from Interview Magazine's photoshoot (2015).

Soon we'll be getting a survivor game for the survivor threads

Sorry, but I can't hear shit in that demo "Dan's calling!" is cute tho

Snow Queen
 

Inspired by pin ups and horror films, i'll be doing more, but these 3 i entered into an exhibition [hopefully i get chosen to show my work]....
 
 
 
 
 
Kiss of Life...
 

 
 
 
 
Visions....
 

 
 
 
 
 
Skeleton Girl....

I usually don't take part in the countless (seriously, countless) survivor games around here, but there was one I hadn't seen yet, but thought might be pretty interesting: a survivor game for all of Lana's home-recorded songs, concepts and demos, sometimes called "laptop demos". These are some of her most unique, original, and even strange songs, so I'm interested to see how this plays out.
 
The rules are:
1. Every song starts out with 10 points; subtract a point from one song, and add one point to one song on every turn
2. Do not take another turn until one other person has taken a turn after you.
 
Below are a majority of these songs, although I may have missed a few (I'm not including demos of album tracks, with the exception of Methamphetamines, because I feel like it's different enough, and iconic enough in its own right, to be included; and not including Cherry Blossom, because I feel like it's kind of an outlier to these tracks):
