baddisease 17,938 Posted May 5, 2020 Now I know that Lana was an alcoholic. I also know it's highly probable she dabbled in shit like meth. (All bc of her involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous) But has she done heroin like she implies on FIILY? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rorman Nockwell 56,734 Posted May 5, 2020 Now I know that Lana was an alcoholic. I also know it's highly probable she dabbled in shit like meth. (All bc of her involvement with Alcoholics Anonymous) But has she done heroin like she implies on FIILY? Obviously, nobody knows for certain, but we do know that she used to mix with people in NYC who definitely did do heroin. We know she had a (boy)friend who died of a heroin overdose ... we know she worked with recovering addicts ... it's not far-fetched to assume that she's at least tried it. She said that FIILY is her "most dishonest" song (as in, she said it wasn't about her). I don't believe that, and think she said it because she knew that admitting it was about her would raise awkward questions about drug use. There have also been various accounts from people who worked with her that she used to do coke before every show; especially during the Endless Summer tour. 4 Quote ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe in that "most dishonest" thing one bit tbh. great minds think alike. and i could totally see her doing coke to prep for a show. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know she had a boyfriend who did heroin and died. How sad. I guess her song "heroin" is about him. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godsmonster 14,221 Posted May 6, 2020 I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing, who I was with, and the weather outside the first time I heard Body Electric. It blew my mind upon first listen to the point where I turned to my friend and was like "who is this???" UGH good memories 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fl0ridakil0s 3,959 Posted May 9, 2020 It's still confuse to me why/how Lana has so many unreleased songs... Especially the pre-BTD ones, why so many wasted material? She had the acess to record sessions that seem so expensive and laborious even without having a prediction of when they would be released? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxthehitman 1,729 Posted May 9, 2020 It's still confuse to me why/how Lana has so many unreleased songs... Especially the pre-BTD ones, why so many wasted material? She had the acess to record sessions that seem so expensive and laborious even without having a prediction of when they would be released? I think she is doing the same thing as Prince was doing. She is probably keeping all those songs in a secret vault , ONLY to be released after her death. lol Prince was an amazing (and genious) artist+musician. He used to record a new song once every 2 days ! He wrote the lyrics, sang them and then played ALL of the instruments by himself, AND he mastered all the tracks in the studio all by himself. It´s unreal. He is like 50 people all rolled up into one. Imagine the 2,000++ songs he recorded and were never released !?! In about 100 years from now, people will look back at Prince´s music and wil consider him the Mozart of our time. He was indeed a musical genious. I bet Lana Del Rey has more than 1,000 songs hidden in a vault , that we never heard before ! 4 Quote - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Violet 18,986 Posted May 12, 2020 this would be a dream come true for me tbh I dont think lana has the taste to be interested in our Amy. If she looked into Amys solo work (which is more piano ballard focused) I have no doubt she would LOVE it, but with what music Lana has shown interested in, I doubt Evanescence would be on the list unfortunately. At least Amy love's lana's work though <3 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine Lana covering Snow White Queen, WHEW 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ultra Violet 18,986 Posted May 13, 2020 hi I’m fairly new to lanaboards and idk where to ask this but I’ve been struggling with putting on a profile pic because the photo I choose is always “too large”. so I was wondering if anyone could help w this I hate this requirement so much. I always find the best picture but I have to resize it to look like sh*t just to upload it. I use Paint on my computer to resize it until it's at or below 100kbs or whatever the maximum is. (I check the image size in its properties when I right click it in my documents wherever ive saved it) Or if you don't know how to do that it might be easier to find a image resizer/compressor tool online or an app. Some you have to keep resizing until you have the right file size, or some let you choose the file size. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ultra Violet 18,986 Posted May 13, 2020 I'm wondering if there is a thread for this already... I wanna discuss Lana being deep and mysterious vs. straight forward and basic. I came across this old interview not long ago, and at 4:55 she starts explaining that she is "kind of as basic as it gets". I remember hearing in another old interview.. she was asked why she never smiles in professional photos and she said the photographers always asked her not to smile, or never asked her too. Can't remember which one. Now it's got me thinking, is Lana only seen as deep and mysterious because that is something people want to see out of her? Has she been put into this mystery box by others, without choosing that for herself? I first thought about her being elusive and deep from her BTD album, but it might all be in Emiles production. After all, the demos are mostly the same vocals, but give a completely different vibe- not mysterious at all, and much more 'regular pop'. Even in the words she chose to speak, she still seemed mysterious and elusive right up until after Honeymoon. Perhaps she was only like that because she wanted to choose her words carefully to avoid criticism. Whatever it is, she might be back to her real self ever since the new album. And when people have thought of her now as 'basic' and boring and 'off', perhaps this really is her. Most of this discussion has come out since NFR, so?? What do you think? Was she ever actually mysterious? Did she ever want to be seen like that? Or was she playing along with what other's said she was, and now she's back to who she was before? Have I been a bad fan for wanting back the old Lana when she never really existed? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
