These are mostly personal associations for me:

 

  • AKA - summer, midwest and southern USA, corn fields and plains, gas stations, motels 
  • Born To Die - summer, swimming pool, Fourth of July, summer nights
  • Paradise - winter, dark, cold, depressing
  • Ultraviolence - summer, lake, hot, humid
  • Honeymoon - September at dusk and early nighttime, cool nighttime weather, driving at night on peaceful roads with windows down
  • Lust For Life - parking lots, politics, my ex, specifically summer 2017 since I listened to it the most then and that summer was weird and unique for me anyways
  • NFR - late summer, evening into sunset into dusk into dark, golden plains with sun still shining but dark gray storm clouds looming on the horizon, boats, the beach
  • Chemtrails - autumn, fog, mist, saloons, cottages, Midwest gothic aesthetic, also the pandemic right before we got vaccines 
  • Blue Banisters - autumn into winter
  • Ocean Blvd - black and white, cloudy, rainy, religion, loss, family, heaven

 

This made me notice the the albums that I have the least distinct things associated with them (Paradise, LFL, Blue Banisters) are also my least favorite albums. I wonder if it’s because I listen to them the least that I have less things to associate them with or if I like them less because I don’t have things to associate them with. Interesting.

Not a motiff in particular, just an assortment of things that come to my head when listening to the albums:

  • AKA: Convenience stores, neon lights, going out at night, road trips
  • Born to Die: Roses, cocktails, Coca-Cola, candy, skater dresses
  • Paradise: Palm trees, bars, beaches, motels
  • Ultraviolence: New York, all-nighters, smoke, coffee, the 70's, rain
  • Honeymoon: Summer, lace, ice cream, hearts and shades of pink
  • Lust for Life: the 60's, endings, heartbreak, uncertainty, autumn
  • NFR: California, the ocean, sunsets, vanilla coke, bright colors
  • COTCC: fields of grass, cold mornings, birds singing, fog, smell of wood
  • Blue Banisters: the end of summer, nostalgia, frustation
  • Ocean Blvd: Porcelain, music boxes, ribbons, ocean waves, The Beatles

 


Those summer nights seem long ago
And so is the girl you used to call
The queen of New York City

This is so oddly specific and really hard to explain - but there are these specific buildings where I live that just give me the vibes of specific Lana songs/albums. 

There is a set of flats in this Tudor-style building round the corner from me that just reminds me of AKA so much. 

Also, there is a hotel near me that is white with old Tudor-esque black beams across it that reminds me so much of her cover of Chelsea Hotel #2 :toofunny: It is so oddly specific and hard to explain but yeah, Lana's music and British architecture seem to go hand in hand for me
