Random Lana Discussion Thread

For Spanish speakers:

 

This youtuber does amazing videos about Lana's albums and evolution as an artist. She explains the themes of Born To Die and Ultraviolence, among other things, and it made me realize things about songs that I have listening for years now...

 

Highly recommend watching her videos!

Does anyone have the photo of Lizzy-era Lana with a guitar that has “DN” on it? I remember seeing it in a thread ages ago but can’t find it now- thanks in advance!

Literally! It’s absolutely one of my favourite songs from Chemtrails (and it’s so hard to pick an absolute favourite from that record) <3

What’s the highest quality we have for Living Legend? The one I have downloaded sounds kinda tinny.

i'm listening 

[Fingertips 72,054]

Honeymoon, Lust for Life and Norman are Lana's "summer trifecta" to me. Each album resonates with me more than her other records every (late May)/June, July and August, respectively. 

 

Listening to Venice Bitch and The Greatest in the car the other day set it off for me

just came across this on my youtube recommended: 

@ whoever made this video: this shit is so annoying lmao not to mention brainless. first, thunder has nothing to do w lolita (the book, film, or themes). second, the fact that it's lana's very own stans doing this shit, misunderstanding her lolita references, and romanticising its imagery... fuck off

at this point they're just making a lolita music video with "thunder" simply because it's a lana del rey song, it's literally the most RANDOM song they could've chosen because it has nothing to do with the book AT ALL  it's disappointing that lana's music is somewhat connected to this unfairly romanticised image of the "lolita" story because people view it as a forbidden, scandalous love story, instead of the harrowing piece of writing it actually is, all they see & care about is dolores' outfits in the movie & the "aesthetic" of it, with the heart-shaped sunglasses, etc. yet they don't even understand the story, it's gross

it's criminal how dolores' suffering and abuse and death has been misunderstood and exploited for an aesthetic  i still think it's outrageous the book was ever made into movies. 

and i keep wishing a flood of lana stans would create lyric/music videos etc with actual relevant imagery that supports lana's artistry. so, so sick of ppl associating lana with lolita imagery (an aestheticised fantasy created by a literal pedophile, humbert humbert)

the only movie adaptation i would accept is in the horror genre. i find both adaptations to be unwatchable. it's like the directors of both adaptations sympathized with humbert

Absolutely hate anytime politicians and old people try to get in on meme culture or when administrations try to insert themselves into internet jokes, but exposure is exposure and this new video by the White House and BennyDrama has Lana’s national anthem playing in the background
