[Icecream Icequeen 4,831]

What an otherworldly experience! LA, Salamander, Sportcruiser, My Bedroom, and Bare Feet on Linoleum are just amazing.

Hi! Maybe I'm just dumb but like... what's the difference between this https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/Lana_Del_Rey_Violet_Bent_Backwards_Over_the_Grass?id=AQAAAEDsozDjzM and this https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/Lana_Del_Rey_Violet_Bent_Backwards_Over_the_Grass?id=AQAAAEDsYxEj7M ??

This is all my dreams of Lana doing ASMR finally coming true. I've said it since the beginning love her speaking voice more than her singing voice, and you can imagine how much I love her singing voice

[Beautiful Loser 48,831]

I listened to it all last night, will go for a second (or third?) round now, but wooooowwww it was a lot better than I thought! And some of them sounded pretty spooky! I truly enjoyed listening to this, can't wait to read the book as well and try to understand her thoughts. Now I just need to make up my mind if I should get the cream white vinyl or the green one, haha..!

[Venice 6,933]

I was trying to decide my favourite and it kept changing until I got to a top 6 lmao. I love her poetry and voice sm

I believe one is an audiobook and the other is an e-book, but I can't remember which is which though someone discussed it on one of these threads not too long ago

How awesome!! I was on a long drive tonight and got stuck in traffic and long lines at the drive thru on the way, which I appreciated, as it was a very magical time listening to each track.

Also, I tried to listen to the final seconds of linoleum to hear her final words. I can hear her echoing "they love my stories" but not what she says after that. Does anyone know?

[Log Lana 911]

Guys, this shit hits hard, seriously. 

 

I'm speechless.

Alright thank you

although it's weird that it says it's 39 min long on both of the links... I guess the audiobook is the cheaper one

 

Edit: I'm on my phone and I don't know how to quote a post pls bear with me

It’s getting annoying, what’s Audible waiting for?

[Idol Of Roses 673]

Absolutely in love with this. And Sportcruiser is definitely a stand out 

[WaitForLife 5,238]

What if they will release it on October 2ed on Spotify?

Weird mine is in my library now (was stuck on processing a while back)

[unlikelysweet 215]

lana has A LOT of feelings about being famous!!!!!!!! anyway, this solidifies her as a true artist. I have never seen her be this raw or vulnerable. she is paradise.

"ppl love my jokes", shes repeating what the sampled woman is saying

So happy for those whos Audible worked, hopefully it works for everyone else soon. I got it off Google Play and had no issues last night. Also Tessa Dipietro, do you think its her that comes at Jim Morrison, or is that an aside from miss Lana herself? Its such a cute and real way to end the poem.

[unlikelysweet 215]

who else LOVES that shes actually using her speaking voice and you can hear her EMOTE instead of her marilyn monroe slow hollywood talk she tried so hard to do for so long. the facade has been wearing on her and I bet it felt refreshing for her to speak in her own voice

It's Tessa.

That whole part/end is all Tessa

[drugsdesire 9,871]

that one part in "the land of a 1000 fires" when she sounds like she's about to cry broke my heart

[lamms 11,605]

i love it omg   she did that, she really did.

[Rorman Nockwell 56,715]

I really hope she doesn't actually go to that particular supermarket and just made it up ... cos if she goes there .... creepy stalkers
