sparklrtrailrheaven 8,961 Posted April 17, 2020 I was listening to the fabulous Rich Whores recording of Yayo today, and it set me thinking about this song -- I think this is THE definitive Lana song. It ought to speak to its incredible significance that it's been the ONLY consistent returner throughout nearly the entirety of Lana's career -- it was still new and shaky at the Union Pool show in June '07, and it's since reappeared time and time again, in demos, two studio albums, and live performances ranging from the Lizzy Grant club shows to the stadiums of LA to the Moon. It's got all the signature Lana lyrical hallmarks: the color blue, bad boys, dependence, trailer parks, escape, hope, drugs, daddies, and a scoop of retro Americana. And, all along, it has changed shape to reflect Lana's current obsessions and styles: it's been an acoustic folk ballad, a heavy metal head-banger, a jazzy torch song, and a spooky, otherworldly laptop demo. It could fit on the kaleidoscopic debut album and the doomy pomp of Paradise just as well as it could slide into the confessional-surf sound of NFR!. In short, it's everything Lana, with none of the era-specific quirks that restrict or date her other songs -- an absolutely gorgeous anomaly in her catalogue. It's sexy, it's sad, it's wild, it's cinematic, it's timeless. I'm in awe of Yayo. 27 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godsmonster 14,088 Posted May 7, 2020 whenever I listen to this song (the Paradise version), I just picture it playing in the background of a Diner on like a Tuesday night, with two, maybe three customers in it. Or like a bar/strip-club on some random weekday night with only a few patrons in it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GPSOTSOMFWHDSF 1,054 Posted January 15, 2023 Lana's magnum opus is and will always be "Yayo." 10 Quote Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyonce have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc - can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money - or whatever I want - without being crucified or saying I'm glamorizing abuse??????

The emotional depth of that song despite the simplicity of its lyrics is groundbreaking. Especially heartbreaking knowing the man she is singing about died of a heroin overdose years later. I also prefer the AKA version. 5 Quote Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani and Nicki Minaj and Beyonce have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc - can I please go back to singing about being embodied, feeling beautiful by being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money - or whatever I want - without being crucified or saying I'm glamorizing abuse??????

The AKA version is much more raw. The lyrics are just so amazing, “50’s babydoll dress for my I do, it only takes two hours to Nevada.” UGH, so glad this song is being talked about <3 6 Quote ⊹˚⋆ 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚 𝒃𝒍𝒖𝒆𝒔 ‧₊° Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

venice biotch 5,773 Posted July 26 I was mid writing "i have no idea what she meant by heaven being a tunnel lined with yellow lights" and it got me, driving through a tunnel lined with yellow lights is like heaven, such a cool feeling, she was smart for that, and if this isnt the meaning, i dont know what is, this is my interpretation 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
