[Paradise Man 29]

I should firstly say, somehow I found her songs correspond with my emotions, over last few years, and I just clicked with her.

Secondly, I always liked songs that have nice melody to it, with intriguing lyrics, and Lana's music has all that.

 

Video Games - I am one of those that heard about her with this song, I knew then she is something new and different

Summertime Sadness - that one along with video I listened the most, it's breathtaking

Dark Paradise - it's her third song I got to love, powerful chorus

Kinda Outta Luck - I dug up this one from her early days, jolly song, and great video

Body Electric - '...Jesus is my bestest friend', lol, with such lyrics you got to love this, and this whole Tropico is mind blowing

Blue Jeans - 'You fit me better than my favorite sweater', cute and 'I'll will love you till the end of time' strong.

 

Others favorites, without telling why:

Born To Die

Diet Monutain Dew

Carmen
National Anthem
Angels Forever

Bel Air

Cola

Ride
Off To The Races

Burning Desire

Video Games: something about it puts me in a trance, I'm at peace when I listen to that song.. It takes me to another place. That angelic voice, the instrumentals. Everything about it makes it the most flawless song I've ever heard in my life. ❤️

[Guest Dot]

Okay I'll try:

 

Born to Die:

 

WITHOUT YOU - This song is so heartbreaking and touching. I really start to cry sometimes while listening to it, because it's so touching and special to me.

 

SUMMERTIME SADNESS - The first Lana song I fell in love with...Kinda overplayed but it deserves all the attention it gets (eventhough that horrible remix is more popular than the original)

 

NATIONAL ANTHEM - The second song I fell in love with. The video is absolutely amazing and Lana's best video imo. The song itself is great as well!

 

BLUE JEANS - Ugh. This song is just incredible. The melody, the production everything just works so well together.

 

RADIO - see "Radio - Appreaciation Thread"

 

Paradise:

 

COLA - In my opinion Lana's best song and an obvious single choice. I get why people hate on it recently (probably my fault) but they can't deny it's one of Lana's most original and daring song. Great vocals great production and very catchy overall.

 

BEL AIR - such a lovely and innocent song. I feel like I'm in Paradise while listening to it.

 

LDR aka. LG:

 

FOR K, PART 2 - Great song! It's kind of a pre-mature Blue Jeans. Very sensual and somehow rebellious imo.

 

PAWN SHOP BLUES - Ugh. Such a beautiful and honest song. Great lyrics.

 

PUT ME IN A MOVIE - This song is iconic! I think it was the first song off AKA I really loved!

 

JUMP - This actually kicked Yayo off the fourth spot recently. I really came to appreaciate this song a lot.

 

Sirens:

 

JUNKY PRIDE - I'm not a big fan of Sirens but this song is really gorgeous. The chorus is so cute and kind of sad as well.

 

DRIVE BY - This song is the first song of Sirens I liked, and I still think it's one of the best of that album.

Not gonna go into detail with these, but I really love Femme Fatale Lana (DICWB, Dangerous Girl)

[Greenwich 1,050]

 

AXL ROSE HUSBAND : Probably one of my favorite songs, it just stung me hard when I first really got into it. Come back to me. Bam, lol

the guitar is just amazing, when she says king and queen its so hauntingly beautiful. shocks me everytime. It's up there, this song

 

1949 : Ugh, god this song can save me from the worst moods ever, I don't know if anyone likes this song as much as I do, it hurts to listen to, its just so amazing. The lyrics make me sad. (I know I know, the whole thing is literally a direct reference to Lolita, but not all of it.) So you might say the lyrics are unoriginal, but thats not true. 

I just relate to this song so goddamn much, it's definitely my favorite song, but i don't want to pick favorites, haha

Whenever i press play and  hear the first guitar chord, it just breaks my heart. i relate to this 

 

BOARDING SCHOOL : I think I like this so much because it reminds me a specific day when i was with my friends. I'm a huge fan of the live version, even though it is cut off.   but its mega cute, the lyrics always make smile though cheap trailer trash.....

 

PEACE / ALL YOU NEED : damn... nuff said. this song... i think i just really really appreciate it because of its length. the lyrics are incredibly beautiful, i love everything off of sirens and those eps..

 

honorable mentions...:            drive by, try tonight, how do you know me so well, PRETTY BABY, you, mister,  AVIATION, 

kill kill, mermaid hotel, lolita demo, elvis

[HausOfMark 85]

Black Beauty |  Angels Forever  |   Ride are my favorite songs.

[dreamer 34]

Yes! Without You is probably my favourite song off BTD! :giveup:

 

flawless song!   

[Just Cherry 3,717]

I have to say Hollywood & Off to the Races are probably my top favorite tracks.

 

 

I listened to Hollywood six times in a row today tbh.

 

 

It varies and is dependent on my mood.

[dreamer 34]

i forgot to say Off to the races, Young and beautiful, for god, i listen that song everyday, on repeat!  

[SherryCherry 4]

I still remember the first time I heard Video Games. It was a wave of sadness, loneliness, emptiness with a sparkling feeling of love for life.

Love, even through despair.

 

Once in our youth we all go through that One love story, the one that made us the happiest but broke us the hardest, the one that made us grow up or dead overnight when it ended. The night when it ended for me, that's when Lana Del Rey came into my heart. I couldn't resist her seductive melancholy. She makes me want to be her: you may break me, but I'll fall like cherry blossoms--in the most beautiful way.

 

"It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do...I tell you all the time, Heaven is a place on Earth with you, tell me all the things you wanna do."

 

This is why I spent some serious time on making this cover of Video Games. I am a musician, and as a musician you hear a thousand songs a week, then you become pickier and pickier. But this song is that one in a million that forever stole my heart.

Thank you, dear friends. I tend to think that all of you who can take Lana's sadness are people with stories. Hope to hear from you.

 

“It’s amazing what happens when you put your interests out into the universe and make it known what you want.” -- Lana Del Rey

[Sadcore 137]

"American" is definitely my favorite song by Lana. It has been since I heard it and for the time being this won't change
