Tried my hand at a Lust for Life album poster... imagine if these randomly popped up around the world and we hadn't seen the red witchy photo before... 
 
(sorry for what i did to her head lol i'm shit)
 

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain

The sound of me crying while I try and fail to understand neuroimaging techniques

Led Zeppelin - All My Love

The Carpenters - Superstar
 
"don't you remember you told me you loved me, baby?
you said you'd be coming back this way again, baby" 

FROOT - Marina and The Diamonds

Amy Winehouse - Fuck Me Pumps

I would be so here for a Lana president. She would be the most mysterious and cryptic president. Her entire campaign would just be posters she made on Paint and printed out from her computer and put out around her neighborhood, her goals would be direct ("Sonically, I'd really like to hear more love in the world and, visually, I'd like the country to return to that sort of grainy 60's aesthetic"), The Weeknd would be First Man (unless she does away with traditional roles and has Chuck as First Lady), all of her press conferences would be filmed by Chuck on VHS in Lana's closet at 2 in the morning (and wouldn't be broadcast until like 3 months later), Lana would answer every question regarding new deals and such with "it's coming soon, guys, you're gonna love it", every person in the white house and on her team would be picked based on how much of a spiritual connection she intuitively felt with them, the country would be left in the dark for months about current matters only to get a breaking news announcement at 1 AM about a new cloning theory or a promotion for an upcoming Fleur show, her tweets would be either very vague ("LOVE") "(PEACE") or irrelevant in regards to the country ("my boyfriend's def cooler than me today") ("Paul still has no hair"), her interviews (all in print) would be wonderfully controversial ("I've been sleeping with so many foreign leaders, but none of them have offered new deals, which is annoying") ("I think a lot about how Kennedy went down. Some days I wish somebody would shoot me already"). At some point, Lana would probably sleep in and miss an important meeting that would end up somehow with us all getting blown up, but right before then she would send one final live stream calmly doing her make-up like "hey guys, i'm so sorry this didn't work out, but I'm sending you all my love." *blows kiss and sweetly giggles*. "Also, my new album Lust for Life is going on pre-order as soon as I finalize the track list. Okay, lots of love, bye bye."
 
And then, in the final 30 seconds, she would send out a pre-order for Lust For Life--without the complete tracklist.
 
Lana for president 2020. 

LUST FOR LIFE

just a cute poster I did 

 

HOLLYWEIRD

I just like the name

 

Bollywood Hawaii

Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac 

do what u want - lady gaga

In my opinion, Prisoner and Lust for Life are both good, solid tracks. Stargirl, however, is so unprecedented in Lana's catalog-- the energy and vibe it gives off are so otherworldly and so unlike the things she's done before, and I think that's due to the Weeknd's touch on it. 
 
I hail it as one of my favorite Lana songs and a completely transcendental minute and some change. Breathtaking x

Local girl cuts first album
By JON HOCHSCHARTNER
LAKE PLACID — Lizzy Grant, a musician who grew up in Lake Placid, is hard at work on her first full-length album, "God Bless America," scheduled for release this summer.
 
The title was partly inspired by the late Kate Smith, an internationally famous area resident best known for her performance of the song of the same name.
 
Grant was signed to Five Points Records, an independent label based in New York City, less than two years ago after being discovered at a Brooklyn song-writing competition. At Five Points, Grant's output was produced by one of her musical heroes, David Kahne, who has produced artists ranging from Sublime to Paul McCartney.
 
"We sent the demos to five different producers, and (Kahne) got back to us that night. We spent three months straight just working together," Grant said. "You know the way you apply to Harvard, and that's your reach school? It's like getting into Harvard."
 
HUSKY VOCALS
Grant said the sound of her upcoming album will be similar to her three-song EP "Kill Kill," which was released last October and has since sold more than 6,000 copies. While she describes her catalog as "happy" and as "all love songs," her music so far has a sedately sad quality to it, dealing primarily with failed relationships. Her husky vocals and retro beats could appeal to fans of Cat Power and Amy Winehouse.
 
Even at an early age, growing up in the Adirondacks, Grant was interested in music.
 
"I was singing when I was really little. I didn't think I would be able to do music, but I wanted to. We didn't know anybody who actually had a career as an entertainer, so that seemed out of the question."
 
She credits St. Agnes Church of Lake Placid in helping push her toward music. Peggy Malone, a retired parish director of religious education, was not surprised that Grant ended up in the music business.
 
"She led the music at First Communion, and I guess she was 7 or 8 years old. (Her voice) was like an angel; she was uninhibited," Malone said. "I always kidded her, 'Don't forget where you got your start. So when you go for your Grammy Award, make sure I'm in the audience.' It was a running joke from when she was just a little girl."
 
While Grant is nervous playing live, she hopes to return to play in the local area soon.
 
"So many people in the Adirondacks did so much for me," she said. "Where I grew up was such a small place, and it was so beautiful. No matter where I go, I always know I'll come back there. I have a standard to live up to — there are people I come home to, and I want to make them proud."

In the order they played:
 
I took your hand and held it in my clutch
I wanna walk with you in someone's shoes
Diamonds really diamonds
I am longing for your poison
Love you can chase it but it always leaves you behind
Feeling out of touch
 
Your so damn important
Round the city, round the clock
I'm standing in tomorrow's way
​Let's go beneath this wasteland
I pour a four up
This is what god feels like
High up in the Hollywood hills taking violet pills
And I know she'll be the death of me
 
You go out and have your fun with my head
Look back
You tell me all the things i wanna do
Your language has me tongue tied
​I foresee it's true
Do you recall
You fake a smile and bat your eyes

I'm almost completely sure they're the same thing. They sound a bit different when I listen to them back-to-back, but I think that's only because Ruby is a pretty substantial audio quality improvement from the original leak. 

Ooh, I feel something, baby
I've been feeling you so hard
Got a figure like a pin-up
 
Ooh, baby love, my baby love
I'm standing at the crossroads of love
Rescue me 
 
Some moments that I've had
In this age of grand illusion
Empties lined along the porch
 
You know why I don't want to see you
 
These little stanzas all sound very separate, lol. This is fun, though!

Regina Spektor - "I Want To Sing"
 

You know how Lana has sang that "Don't be so blueee my love" song while soundchecking multiple times? Does that song have a name, is it a cover? or just some random lines? Anyway it's beautiful
 
Examples:
 

 
(About 1:34 here)

 

 
Lol now I'm determined to find videos of all the times she's sung it

Ooh, I feel something, baby
I've been feeling you so hard
Got a figure like a pin-up
 
Ooh, baby love, my baby love
I'm standing at the crossroads of love
Rescue me 
 
Some moments that I've had
In this age of grand illusion
Empties lined along the porch
 
You know why I don't want to see you
 
These little stanzas all sound very separate, lol. This is fun, though!

I love mine! It got deep pretty fast.
 
I must confess I feel uneasy
I set the scene to tell the tale
Shuddering brakes on the road to Jerusalem
I took a little journey to the unknown
 
There's a cold, easy glow
We move like smoke through the room
Someone's heart is breaking
I think the kids are in trouble

You make it look like it's magic,
tell me what you really like,
gimme your, gimme your, gimme your attention baby
when you're half way from a dream
would you be my, would you be my baby tonight?
 
Let's get out of this town baby we're on fire,
walking on a dream,
hawaiian tropic, dark and a bottle of Jack
I don't know where I went wrong
just one look, that's all it took

A Haiku:
 
I paint my nails black
I dye my hair a dark shade
Submit to Satan

watch my back so I'll make sure, you're right behind me as before
oh oh, oh oh, here I go again, baby
I love that lavender blonde, the way she moves the way she walks
I'm not Snow White, but I'm lost inside this forest
Can barely keep my head above the water, sometimes I listen to my mother.
