Television Heaven

[prettydrugs 456]

I hope you remember me like this,

Smokin' cigarettes in my sundress,

 

I hope I remember you just like that,

Lookin' fresh to death in your ball cap.

 

These lines make me cry so hard every time I listen to this song, but for sadness. Idk why, but sometimes I skip it just because it's too much, ah! Weird

Am I the only one who hears "Empty TV" instead of MTV or Antique TV?

I hear empty too! But I freakin love this song... The MTV one does make sense tho. But she could mean they can just watch meaningless television with him.

i hear "there's no where on the surf i would rather be" i thought they were the best lyrics

[keanefar 1,007]

i hear "there's no where on the surf i would rather be" i thought they were the best lyrics

I thought it was that too

[my ol man isa batman 480]

I thought it was that too

idgaf I'm still gonna sing surf. i really like those lyrics though

[Wilde_child 490]

One of my faves. Why wasn't it released?

Costra Nostra is a reference to the mafia.

 

I know ice is slang for diamonds, but it's weird she says "Lucy's in the sky with ice" since it's no longer a backronym for LSD.

 

God, that bridge is so heavenly.

 

And what's up with Lana and getting down while watching TV/playing video games?

On ice means on meth

[Trash Magic 28,381]

Fucking brilliant and insanely original.

 

 

Btw I've always been under the impression the lyric was "talk television heaven with you"

[lilmango 30]

random but i've always heard specifically in the first verse "and if you ask again, i'll say 'um, sure!'" idk it's just so lana to me and she stops singing and says it in a cutesy like conversational tone so that's how i always heard it 

[BoardingSchool 2,918]

I love this song SO MUCH.    And it just struck me today that the lines

 

"I hope you remember me like this,

Smokin' cigarettes in my sundress,

Glamorous and gangtsa, oh yes."

 

...are like a way more badass version of Taylor Swift on "Wildest Dreams":

 

"Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks"

 

(one of the only Tay songs I truly like, but still can't compare to Lana). Pure coincidence I'm sure, but it makes me laugh to think of Tay listening to this is 2013 and getting inspired to write the G-rated version and release it the very next year.

One of her best unreleased. Such a BEAUTIFUL & adorable song - it’s iconic. Television Heaven deserved to be on BTD - imagine it replacing a dud like Dark Paradise.

Reminding LB that this bop exists 

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,051]

Perhaps her most underrated unreleased? Such a killer song, omfg
