I wonder if a Get Free version where she says Amy and Whitney still exists cause on the released one you can hear "for A- and for W-" but I don't know if the decision to silence those parts was made while recording (so a full version may not exist anymore) or after she had the song done (so a demo might exist).

Maybe those lines were from Malibu :um2:

so I listened to Violets For Roses and Beautiful (which are the two songs I've ranked lowest on BB) for the first time in forever and...... I felt... maybe they are not THAT bad? Not really the biggest fan of the lyrics but like... damn? Did I do these songs wrong in the past?:O

 

edit: I thought I posted this in the Blue Banisters thread... sorry :facepalm:


If I get a little prettier can I be your baby?

I'm literally wheezing at what my mom said about Lana. I'm trying to convince her to give her a listen because all of her friends love her and she was like:

Mom: Yeah I hear her when you play her records

Me: But you completely ignore whatever I'm playing 

Mom: No I'm not, she's the one that sings like aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh😫

That's such an accurate description of Ultraviolence and Honeymoon :bebe:


I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free

I convinced her to love Arctic Monkeys AM but she can't remember their name because she doesn't speak English so they're called "The ones who sound like Pink Floyd".

I’d like to imagine the reason for the silenced parts were purely out of respect for those artists who have been heavily targeted by media and general public which contributed to their early demise. So as not to open up another discussion like “LDR name-dropping Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston on her new album” or whatever. It’s like she’s saying they’ve had enough, they’re “free” now and must be beyond scrutiny. On top of that, you can put in those gaps any artist that you like who’s not with us anymore or even people dear to you who passed away and meditate upon what the song is trying to say as such.

 

Edit: Sorry that this is not really answering your question or in response to you, I just wanted to express my opinion on the silenced part when you happened to mention it. ♥️

IIRC Get Free's censored names are Lana's personal friends. I hope Malibu leaks one day but I doubt it will, since she said she deleted it.

No. Their names were not the ones censored in Get Free.

Says who 

 

it doesn't make sense for them to be the censored words, at least not to me. Amy and Whitney were superstars, so I don't understand why she would censor their names. She also said that the censored lyrics were too personal for her. how would two artists whose deaths were mainstream and well-known be personal?

She sang for Amy and for Whitney multiple times in live performances, that is the lyric

 

just because she inserted their names during performances doesn't mean that that's the lyric in the album version of the song.

It could be personal in the sense that she is also afflicted with media scrutiny. Fame is only truly understood by those who have it, so she can feel super close to them. She also once said she believed she had a special, personal connection with people long gone before her through their art. I'll update this post if I find the interview.

 

Found it: “I knew then, really, that my closest friends would be people I have never really met before,” she said. “I was different and I didn’t know many people who felt about mortality how I did. As a result, I do feel a personal connection with the icons: John Wayne, Elvis. I loved how nice Marilyn was, I related to her. Finding girls who were as loving and warm as her is hard.” https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/elvis-presley-lana-del-rey-feels-friends-dead-celebrities.html/

i mean, technically there is no lyrics for the album version because it was cut out, but it seems like she’s supposed to be saying “for amy & for whitney” because that’s what she sings live, there’s nothing that would suggest otherwise

why blank out their names, though?
