[drugsdesire 8,909]

such a beautiful piece of art i'm truly floored

[Liz Taylor Blues 17,617]

omg I listened to it this morning while getting ready for work and it is amazing. I loved every track. She truly does get down to read beat poetry

i'm trying to buy it and i cant

i wanted to get it on audible and i couldnt

 

I had that trouble last night but it worked this morning. Sometimes kindle and Audible glitch a bit the first few hours of a release

 

what is going on

just finished listening for the first time!! it’s so unique to hear her thoughts. like almost having a personal connection and/or relationship with lana. i’m not sure if i have an exact “favorite”, theyre all beautiful and revealing and heavenly in their own ways. i found myself getting lost in her words at times just because of her voice and how entrancing it is mixed with the music. i’ll definitely have to give it a few more listens before i even consider “favorites”.

[UltraviolenceBaby 5,013]

i think im the only one who isn’t ready yet

[xxmissdaytonaxx 29,933]

also if you still looking for a cheap way to listen and don’t want to spend the money...

 

make an audible account, sign up for the 30-day free trial, get your one free audiobook aka Violet, and then cancel the subscription after it’s in your library!!!! you still get to keep the audiobook even if you cancel. though you do have to use your credit card to sign up.

Holy shit. Sportcruiser and L.A. are phenomenal.

 

Don't mind me, I'm just crying.

 

I love this woman with all my heart, her velvet voice, her beautiful poetry.

 

I've always wanted to hear the story about her flying and sailing lessons, that poem made me smile so much.

 

Can't believe I'm lucky enough to live at the same time as the great Miss Lana Del Rey.

This is the one time a download card in a vinyl would actually be of any use and of course vinyls aren't shipped for another 3 months 

[PARADIXO 31,607]

Can't wait to listen

[Dominikx4 25,024]

someone i know ordered the Analogue bunfle from Lana's webstore and in the order confirmation, it lists 2 cassettes.

I guess theres another colot or smth coming soon!

[Gods Favorite Child 192]

It's not music but still, it's amazing. I remember how Lana gave an interview about the pilot who told her "you don't trust yourself", and now that story is on "Sportcruiser", it sounds familiar a quite beautiful. 

 

She's not a pop artist, she's art. There are a lot of iconic quotes, and the closers are so polished and the music is out of this world. 

 

Jack and Lana are THE COUPLE. Can't wait for COCC :')

[PARADIXO 31,607]

I think I figured out why I couldn't buy it last night. I'll try again later! <3

[ChaoticLipster 23,800]

Shit, I ended up buying it three times on iTunes, google play and audible all because I was impatient. Her poetry has cost me $150

[FallingCherry 7,731]

It’s weird but really nice seeing everyone liking a project. Like, literally everyone that has posted about Violet liked it. Usually when she releases an album we all have different opinions. When music fails to unify people, poetry does it

[Downtown Baby Doll 5,309]

Uggghhhhh I’m not listening until later when I can focus 110%. I’m sooo excited to listen. I’m so happy it’s getting so much praise! I’m so proud of her

[lustforlife 19,008]

Not gays wasting all their money on this. COCC debut is gonna be 1.000 copies

[Hallo Heaven 1,118]

Hey, I got fed up with Audible's antics last night and cancelled my pre-order. Then, as kindly suggested by Skid Cherry Pie, I proceeded to Google Play where I bought it no problem, just like that and best of all, the amount was converted in pesos so no impuesto Pais either. Total win-win situation!    

[violets 11,893]

is there like sale info we will receive in a week? do they do that for these books?

[CinnamonGay 10,513]

Someone said some poem reminded them of Lana stirring them in a cauldron.. probably the instrumentals...which one?
