Whoopiedoo 442 Posted May 11, 2013 You can't expect someone to walk a completly straight line when it comes to delivery HQ art to your liking. First of all, IT'S A FUCKING SOUNDTRACK SINGLE. NOT THE FIRST SINGLE OF AN UPCOMING ALBUM! She's ON TOUR, did you really expect smoke and mirrors for the video? (Okay, we did get mirrors, but C'MON) Yikes. Yall need to chillax, especially when its still this early in someone career. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackBrommers 8 Posted May 11, 2013 Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah, blah.... The song is fantastic, as is the video. We're lucky we even got one. Infact, how many videos did we get this year???????? Exactly. Enjoy it while it lasts. We're not even half way through this year yet! When she finishes her tour I'm expecting an influx of classic Lana vids, including the infamously promised Cola and Dark Paradise. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whoopiedoo 442 Posted May 11, 2013 You might have to deal with another cover video. Plus Blue Velvet part 2. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinupgirls 1,056 Posted May 11, 2013 Saw Gatsby. It featured like three different versions of the song. I loved the Jazz one. So great. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Libra 241 Posted May 11, 2013 This video was okay, yeah she looks beautiful as always. Just kind of wish there was a little more to it... I wonder why they didn't bother with adding to it? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Kid 318 Posted May 11, 2013 In my opinion, the video is quite possibly the most amazing thing she's put out besides Ride. The cinematography is perfect, her makeup and hair are spectacular, and the simplicity makes the song even more beautiful. It has variation in subtle ways that aren't flashy or overdone, and it makes it unique in comparison to any other video out right now. Plus, the homage to the beautiful orchestral video she used in Video Games is perfection. I feel like this video is actually the treatment that Lana wish she was able to give to Video Games. The orchestra, the simplicity, the glamour, and the noir feel would've all fit it perfectly, as they do this song. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tammy 2,291 Posted May 11, 2013 The video is kinda nice, but the song itself is really boring. I would even say, it's Lana's weakest song. NEXT!!! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yourgirlsophie 20 Posted May 11, 2013 I was in love with the song the first time i heard the 40 second snippet and i've listened to it basically six billion times since it got on itunes. it's one of my favorite lana songs, and i think the video is great! the orchestra and the strings and drums is giving me shivers all over man, it's brilliant! and she looks stunning as always. and do i need to mention her smile at 00:37? literally takes my breath away EVERY time. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monicker 3,035 Posted May 11, 2013 Damn, i’ve been looking for diamond stick-on tears for so long to do a photo shoot, and i haven’t been able to find them anywhere. Claire’s sort of had something that might have worked but they, of course, looked so cheap. Where the hell can i get some like these? TPD, you’re good at finding this kind of thing online...HELP ME? 2 Quote "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." -Wittgenstein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Atom Heart 1,929 Posted May 11, 2013 The video seems okay, the song is average. I don't hate it or love it. It feels so incomplete (video) and the song song doesn't grasp me as much as other Lana songs do. I honestly like Summer Wine much more, this&Chelesea Hotel No.2 were pretty lackluster, she still could go more upbeat since she IS Lana and no longer Lizzy, Lizzy is unknown but Lana is world famous, St.Tropez, Dangerous Girl and Live or Die are examples of flawless songs that people would like anyway. If she gets worse than this then I'm worried. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Heart 1,929 Posted May 11, 2013 Well stop bitching here. When she was Lizzy Grant and had upbeat songs, nobody cared about her. She has refound herself again as Lana Del Rey who is known for her slow retro ballads singing in low register. And this whole mysterious image works for her and really captivated people... Honestly I dont think she can stay famous with spears-wannabe songs like St. Tropez; they are not distinctive or original, anyone could sing them. Well I don't understand why can't anyone have their own opinion? Her opinion is HERS. If you don't agree with it then don't reply, if you think Lizzy would've been unsuccessful if Interscope had her for AKA then you're truly delusional. Lizzy's failures are what transformed her into Lana. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amadeus 11,334 Posted May 11, 2013 at least they figured out how to do a authentic filter that makes the video look old the scenes where she's lying and the light comes from the background reminds me of the pole-dance scenes in the NA demo video 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COLACNT 5,180 Posted May 11, 2013 i don't know why they didn't use the original song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA9NP6a7FOQ although i prefer the orchestral version myself, the video has more 'pow' alongside the other version (like @ 1:55) 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
