IanadeIrey 62,124 Posted July 27, 2020 "She made special mention of one such individual, Jane Powers. “She’s a real estate agent. I met her seven years ago in New York and I loved her. I really wanted to be a singer. I would say, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen.’ She’d say, ‘God didn’t save you from drowning just to beat you up on the shore. All you really need is patience when you have persistence.’ She’s just an angel.”" from https://entertainment.inquirer.net/163131/lana-del-rey-i-was-very-wild#ixzz6TQFKRec6 <3 15 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trash Magic 28,435 Posted July 27, 2020 This song was definitely born out of her mommy issues and how Jane was a guiding light in absence of a maternal figure. Interesting it should leak now as she has been more vocal about it this year. The mystery grows... 12 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easily one of my faves of her. This song overall is pretty good, just imaging someone making you song about as a thank you for everything... A pretty nice sentiment 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeanne Dielman 5,982 Posted September 18, 2021 It's not a surprise that Lana included this song in the new album and, in fact, put it after Wildflower Wildfire and right before Cherry Blossom - all songs share a similar theme about maternal figures / motherly love (or lack thereof). 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
