My all time favorites are O, Y, T, Goods, Play, Fountain, Thin and Shadowshow (can't wait for the album version )
 
Guys, when/until when can I order/pre-order the album?
 
Edit:
 
Little iamamiwhoaminsters, I keep finding out more stuff about Jonna every day and she's just the sweetest. I watched this old interview of her and :3 I've also introduced her to three people today (including 2 Swedish guys who had never heard of ha u_u).
 
Slay

lol xd
I was accepted at Drexel University and it was my 3rd option.

I love Ride and the video for it is amazing. 

I expect something like this tbh
 

 

International students can't work outside of campus?? I know that because I did my reseach and I have a sister and a cousin who study in the States. And yes, I could live in a big city (the only ones I'd actually like to live in are NYC, San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia.) but it's just not the same as living in a big city in Europe (Accept for NYC, which I think might be amazing). 
But I did make the right decision by coming to Paris, I can feel it

Guys, from what song is the instrumental at the end of the Blue trailer?

i mostly posted the article for other people so they could read a little more about it.

Same as you. I don't really like the American culture that much (one of the reasons why I decided not to go to college there) but Lana did make me wanna know more about it (apart from what I learned in US History xd). 
 
Lana sambando na vida das passivas~

I would love if Lana made an acoustic album May Jailer style. I've been actually listening to the May Jailer more than anything else lately tbh

First of all I just want to make it clear that I don't hate the US and I do wish to visit the country some day. Well, I also didn't wanna pay 20k a year, not have the right to work outside of campus, probably live in a small campus city, and I really wanted to go back to Europe

Hello! a long time I wanted to start this topic to know how many more people have learned so many things with Lana like me.
Searching for the meaning of their songs, I first met a lot of magnificent books and movies, like Scarface, Summer of Sam, Gods and Monsters. Also been interested in the biography of Marylin and Elvis, just like Bonnie and Clyde's. I had never heard about Jim Morrison and James Dean, and after listening to her songs they began to appear in several other cases and bc of her I already knew them. 
I didnt knew what a groupie was, or Parliament, Chateau Marmont, Coney Island, well as much of the American presidents, and the expression "match made in heaven".
Anyway, I'd like to know how many of you non-americans learned things about American culture because of Lana, and the americans who met books and movies bc of her.
Thank you! ♥

Seeing all those posts about Lana not being "lyrically wise" (I mean not only the last few in this thread but also the criticism toward Y&B and lots of posts in other threads) I cannot tell whether it's actually an "unpopular Lana opinion" . Not like I don't entitle you to your own opinion cuz I entirely do (especially if I sometimes agree at least to a limited extend) but just wondering if it doesn't turn out that in fact there are more people disliking Lana lyrics (as textual works, not regarded in their context) than those really cherishing them.
 
So if loving Lana as a songwriter is an unpopular one, here is mine:
 
There countless Lana songs that I find lyrically exquisite. To list but very few examples:
 
She's Not Me:
 
"I'm the ghost in your mashine" - besides referring to philosophy (what itself makes the song more profound) Lana totally alters the whole concept. While orginally the term describes dualism in one person, Lana's use encompasses two of them. Translating this metaphore, it appears as "I'm [as a "ghost"] lingering inside your body ["mashine"] and no, I am not leaving". What it exactly means, we can surely argue but for sure she uses the philosophical concept to wrap with it the fact that her (ex-)boyfriend and she are binded.
 
And this intended change of an already existing term smells kinda Gainsbourg-like to me... but I guess that's too far-fetched?
 
I also love how she uses lots of slang expressions and idioms that literally are about death: "a ride or die bitch", the already mentioned "ghost", "dead and gone", "suicide blonde"... Crammed together, they add some thrill to those lyrics! Like there's something supernatural about it... I'm probably the only one to have such a weird association but the song matches some scenes of "Over Her Dead Body" where Kate, having died as Henry's fiancée, becomes a ghost and tries to hold back his new romance. The characters' aims are quite different in the romantic comedy film and in the song but I just want to point out that the concept of the ghost stalking her (ex?) partner fits quite well into the lyrics. Hopefully the movie helped me to illustrate it...
 
I know it's ridiculous to interpet it literally but it's beyond me, I feel haunted by my stupid ideas.
 
Off To the Races:
 
The "Lolita" quote - "Light of my life, fire in my loins" is one of my favorite phrases ever, a pensive and good-sounding cluster of words (both because of the alliteration and its meaning).
 
OTTR is full of other colorful epithets such as: "my red nail polish", "his cocaine heart", "your black Cristal", "your little scarlet starlet", "a soul as sweet as blood red jam", "my tar black soul"... All those color words colorize the song Actually, I perceive OTTR rather as an image than words. Some will say that's kitch-like but to me it is not - it would be if she constantly described characters in the story only by hair color (like in poorly-written fanfiction like "the tar-haired girl said this, the tar-haired girl said that") but referring colors to intangible notions sounds at least a bit fresher to be and doesn't make me cringe.
 
And "scarlet, starlet" is alliteration again, if I'm not wrong? Another reason to love those lyrics!
 
Talking of colors, may I just mention one lyrics from Hundred Dollar Bill? I agree that "I'm in my party dress, he says you're such a mess" isn't the cleverest lyrics under the sun but "you turn my mood from black to blue" is a really well-thought phrase. It uses two adjectives which literally both mean colors but also mean certain moods... Reminds me Emilie Autumn's "my ocean is bluer than the heart you had to break".
 
I also think Lana can catch a lot of meaning in her similes: "life sweet like cinnamon, like a fucking dream I'm living in", "spinnin like a ballerina" (followed by "feelin gangsta" and that's why it's aww-some"), "like Jim Morisson", "when you talk, it's like a movie"... they tell more than non-poetic prose ever could tell!
 
Or simple repeted sentences from some AKA songs "I'm in love with a dying man / I have done everything I can" is enough to describe her whole mischief/distress connected with the situation. Such songs really call for your imagination, telling you very little but at the same time kindling your curiosity.
 
I know I'm an infinite bore to have posted my dull elaboration - but I just wanted to point out what indeed I see in Lana lyrics... Sorry if I'm too stupid to word my feelings... I am stupid :< .
 
And that I worship so many Lana lyrics doesn't necessarily mean I'm a fan of "You're disgusting, I'm delicious" .
       

Yayo is one of her best songs, to whoever said they don't like it. 

I fell in love with Body Electric when she sang it live before the release of Paradise. I really dislike the EP version, though. Not enough violins, too much guitar. I also prefer when she says: "I'm on fire, baby, I'm on fire" at the end of chorus, as opposed to: "I'm on fire, sing that body electric." And I'm not a huge fan of the vocals/overall production either... Disappointing, because it could've been an amazing track.
 
Also - Sirens is, lyrically, her best work to date.

Have you read the history of Christianity? Christians have done waaaaay worse things and still continue to slow progress in society. In 500 years it might not be Islam that will be causing problem, but maybe another one. Religion is the source of these problems. (which is something created by men, thus flawed)

A narrow miss for @, congrats @@GangstaBoy

I'm Mary Magdalena and Lime is Judas. vote for us, the sinners fuck jesus

Thanks for the nom I'll probably not win but I'll at least have one vote (mine ).  

You're probably gonna win lol. You've been here longer and more people like you xd. Or maybe Jack will win?

Thanks for the nom I'll probably not win but I'll at least have one vote (mine ).  

I just listened to the three albums today again even if bounty and kin have both amazing songs, I think Blue is way better. I really like the sound of the album compared to the others.

Religion should not exist. Period.
