"In 2011 I met Lana Del Rey. She was not yet signed to a record contract. We wrote together for 3 days. The second song we wrote  was 'Summertime Sadness'. It was the beginning of a very creative and deep collaboration on many beautiful songs."

This song\thread having only 1 page feels ironic nn.

 

Cute to know it was song 2 they wrote together. Wasn't TV in Black & White the first?

appreciation post for summertime sadness, i feel like it's beauty & it's depth is overshadowed by the fact that it's arguably her most popular & well-known song, as well as the remix, however i think it's very beautiful, it's a staple in her discography and it's filled with lana del rey's unique vision of nostalgic & americana, a red dress, pale moonlight, 60's style hair, summertime, driving fast... it's also undeniably melacholic, which is a very important element of lana's musical style, there's another layer of melancholia with the theme of death, specifically suicide, which is highlighted by the music video, also, the production/sound of the song itself is enchanting, it's very warm, rosy, gloomy, a little hazy... and the cheering/shouting samples add such a unique touch... this song is honestly angelic, yet in such a dark way... idk, i just really like this song <3

Anyone know why she removed the intro to the music video?

I believe that spoken line is actually from another song if the post I saw about it is correct. So it likely got copyright striked?  I'll add it to this message when/if I find it.
