VegasBaby Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Really?! It's like some of the (very young) people here were listening to The Crystals all their lives! If Lana wouldn't brought up this particular verse most of you would never heard about The Crystals or their lyrics (He hit me and it felt like a kiss) nah its a well known song for being controversial (for that line) its lazy to steal other people's lyrics rly 0 Quote Sweeping scents and blue hydrangea. Summer hail and summer stranger.
Thunder Revenant Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 nah its a well known song for being controversial (for that line) its lazy to steal other people's lyrics rly it's one line and it's not like she couldn't have come up with this herself, as if it was super-deep-poetry or something. So calling it lazy is really overreacting. 0 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!
neuf Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 The beggining sounds to me like something you would hear in a Western film, idk why lol Morricone influence? She likes him. 0 Quote
neuf Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 This song is better than SoC for me, but not as good as WC yet. I can see it growing on me more, though. I hope more of the songs aren't just her belting out the title over and over in the chorus. I know it's not just like that but it feels like that. I like the mature lyrical side of Black Beauty and hope there's some of that more. Shades of Cool seems to touch more on that than either of the two so far (and what we've heard from Brooklyn Baby). 0 Quote
GangstaBoy Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Morricone influence? She likes him. Pretty sure it is... I mean it has this amazing epic cinematic (too much adjectives lol) sound that I love! I'm not into the song THAT much but the beginning gives me goosebumps 0 Quote

So calling it lazy is really overreacting. Maybe Lana just really likes the line. And do you know for a fact she got it from The Crystals? 0 Quote
Thunder Revenant Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Maybe Lana just really likes the line. And do you know for a fact she got it from The Crystals? Well, it is a quote which is associated with the band often, and it can be assumed that she knows the song. But yeah, she always made references to "older music", this time she uses one quote.i would call it rather creative than lazy, it fits her retro-style 0 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

Thunder Revenant Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 UV doesn't seem to be retro in terms of the Marilyn Monroe/ Elvis era. For the thing she aims for, I it stil fits very well. 0 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!
huxter Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 UV doesn't seem to be retro in terms of the Marilyn Monroe/ Elvis era. For the thing she aims for, I it stil fits very well. But it seems retro to me in terms of '60s and early '90s rock music. 0 Quote
Thunder Revenant Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 And the Crystals are from the early 60s, aren't they? (even though they aren't rock music) And I also have Courtney Love's Cover in mind when I think about the song, which is indeed something I would relate to the "retro-roots" of UV. 0 Quote Just do it.

Coney Island King Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 .i would call it rather creative than lazy, it fits her retro-style If we're going to complain about that, then we may as well complain about 70% of what she does since it's all borrowed from a time before her. So much of what she does is nostalgia, her whole look has been lifted from Prscilla Presley/Nancy Sinatra ect. her singing style also, i mean...........if at this point using an old skool song title as a lyric is so awful then how has anyone been on board with her for the last 3 years? 4 Quote
