Okay so can we talk about the possibility about Lana being a pathalogical liar? I'm not trying to pick at her, but it's something I find very interesting.

 

So we know she's said in the past that she grew up in Alabama (which isn't true at all), and of course a bunch of other things. I think it's important to not blur the lines with her art too much. I think people often make excuses for her by saying "she's an artist, they all make stuff up", which is true, but usually it's on pen to paper, not when you're talking to someone face to face.

 

What are your thoughts on this possibility?

My personal take is that lies come easily to her. We know she had a pretty lonely childhood, and that leaves lasting effects. The whole 'chameleon soul' aspect of her is probably where a lot of it comes from. I feel like she thought about what life could be like if she grew up poor with her grandmother in Alabama, or had a 'las vegas past' and tries to incorporate a lot of that stuff into her personality. It's like when you see someone from your childhood who grew up going to church every weekend and getting good grades has suddenly become a goth since going to university, if that makes sense. A lot of people do it, especially artists, but idk. Take a writer like Donna Tartt- she forged a kind of mysterious personality in college that she's kept since then. How she presents herself to the public won't be how she is in real life, but there's a line. She doesn't flat-out lie about her past. That's where my issue lies with her. Lying about your past to make it sound like you've had it harder than you really did is pretty gross considering she's lying about growing up poor, or being poor at some point, because at the end of the day she's profiting off that costume, and she can take that costume off when she has no need for it. It's one thing to make something like Tropico or Ride, which are pieces of art with a story that I doubt anyone takes as fact. It's another to outright lie to people though.

 

Idk. My thoughts are kind of all over the place. Maybe that's why she gets on so well with Leto. Both take method acting too far.

This is a really good interpretation, I definitely agree 100%.

We know from people close to him that this was bullshit bc he wasn't exactly "proud" of their relationship and how he treated her (he wasn't abusive just really dismissive of her).

If i could have one superpower it would be to see into people's minds and see their whole story and shit.. would certainly be interesting to do that with Ms. Elizabeth... Someone needs to write like a whole expose-thread or smth. debunking lies.

That's the alt version. We also have an acapella of it. But there's a demo that hasn't leaked, we only have snippets.

Her ASCAP red carpet was one of her worst

Lana's albums honestly always have the best beginning.
Like, the violin from BTD that starts out BTD
The humming from Ride that start out Paradise
The electric guitar from Cruel World that starts out Ultraviolence
The cinematic violin that starts out Honeymoon
The instrumentals at the beginning of Love
They all open the album perfectly.

Whenever I search for artists that are most similar to Lana, we often get recommended Marina, Halsey, Florence, FKA Twigs, Melanie etc. And yeah I do happen to love them all but they just don't match up in similarity because their voices are so different, and tbh, far less "easy listening" than Lana's voice.

 

Then I come across the artists that I truly think are most similar on my own, and Jesse Jo Stark is one of them, in vocals as well as The Pierce's and Mazzy Star. They are the songs I listen to where I'm really like "omg Lana could 100% have done this" or "wow if she could just cover this..." "Add strings and this is a Lana song"

All seem to be relatively stripped down compared to Lana's pop-influenced genre but then again Lana does have her routes in acoustic guitar and her AKA album, which remind me a lot of Mazzy Star also.

 

Anyone else know artists whose vocals actually match really well with Lana's?
