Venice Peach 54,289 Posted April 2, 2022 I can't fucking stand the spoken part in Carmen. It makes a perfect song a 9/10 instead of a 10 Also why french when it's a Spanish name 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It makes a perfect song a 9/10 instead of a 10 Also why french when it's a Spanish name the explanation is difficult according to Genius Quote The structure of the song is similar to the ‘Wanted’ poem in Lolita by Nabokov which also has a stanza written in French. and Quote As a fan of Nabokov’s important piece of literature Lolita, she is further inspired by another tale found within this literature, which references another tragic love story of Carmen by Prosper Mérimée. this is the poem 'Wanted' https://genius.com/Vladimir-nabokov-humberts-wanted-poem-annotated 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you At least it makes sense now but it still takes me out of the song sonically 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shady 3,751 Posted April 3, 2022 Did Lana seriously pretend to be a Latina/Spanish? That's really embarrassing, and she was a grown woman in her mid 20s when/if she did that. Reminds me of 'Hilaria' Baldwin. 0 Quote I'm fucking crazy, but I'm free Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's really embarrassing, and she was a grown woman in her mid 20s when/if she did that. Reminds me of 'Hilaria' Baldwin. I don't know if she actually pretended to be Latina but she has been messy a few times. Tropico is filled with things associated with Latino gangster culture such as the fashion and the tear drop tattoo and of course the extras on the porch scene are Chicana women and the shots of the Latino gang snorting drugs. That being paired with the fact Lana likes to spice up her lyrics occasionally with Spanish and the argument that the stage name Lana "Del Rey" could be appropriation in itself of Cuban culture among other things I think a lot of it was fair criticism that Lana stans began joking about and then eventually it got so widespread in the community that new fans, or just people who came across the jokes, started taking it as fact. 5 Quote Don’t make me get dark on you, baby I’ll go dark… ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Liz Taylor Blues 18,728 Posted April 4, 2022 Carmen is French because it’s referencing the french opera about a spanish whore. Honestly people are less and less cultured on here every year. Time to nationalize prep school I fear if this is what passes for public education no offence. Also Carmen is a 100/10 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
