Atom Heart 1,931 Posted July 17, 2014 Much like "Florida Kilos" seems inspired by Spring Breakers, I'd bet cake this was inspired by the Lars von Trier film. #PartyLikeItsDogme95 I'm telling you: This is true. The original file was named "Lizzy Grant.mp4". An LDR.FM mod had previously scrobbled a track named "methamphetamines" of similar length so it was assumed to be named "Methamphetamines" when it surfaced. I'm still amazed someone so (rightfully) vocal about their victimization by hacking continues to provide such specific identifiable information about her past addresses and lovers. (This is not the first time she's done either.) It's almost like she wants us to sleuth. South 8th Street is a very short street as well, it won't be that hard to find someone that knew 'Lizzy Grant' 8 years ago. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dot Posted July 17, 2014 South 8th Street is a very short street as well, it won't be that hard to find someone that knew 'Lizzy Grant' 8 years ago. The one in Illinois, yes. It suits the whole "drug addict" theme, doesn't it? However... This is the South 8th Street she was referring to and it's not that short tbh. Does anyone know when they'll release the full clips? http://picosong.com/PpaT/ 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadAgainst 1,515 Posted July 17, 2014 Strange that she didn't recall the "What is a Youth" song when she seems to reference the lyrics in the "Dark Paradise" demo "What is a youth? Impetuous fire.What is a maid? Ice and desire." = "I got the ice, you got the fire." Plus Burning Desire, etc. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Old Money it's kind of like she actually sampled part of the instrumental score, which unintentionally or not, is much more than just using a line or a few expressions from other literary work. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that street, and it's very short in comparison to other streets in Brooklyn. What's interesting is the fact that it's close to an arts center, a film studio, numerous bars and the Williamsburg Bridge. If she made ANY connections in NYC she sure as hell made them in Williamsburg at the very least. :flutter: 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lad 8,801 Posted July 17, 2014 Intentionally or not, with this album she says a lot of things from her unreleased catalogue. It almost looks like she listens to the leaks and she's like "wow i like this melody/line im gonna re-use it" I lived in NYC for 15 years of my 17 year life (and I went to school a few minutes from there as well) .

I noticed it's pretty close to Broadway too. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dot Posted July 17, 2014 Omg Gaga and Lana lived pretty close to each other! They both lived at the opposite end of Williamsburg Bridge! Lana lived on the east end and Gaga at the west end. I bet they crossed paths a few times. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trash Magic 28,452 Posted July 17, 2014 Omg, the reason I never liked Ultraviolence the song is because it seems to so forced. And it's true! I said it sounds like an after thought, where as Born To die (song) was conceived long before that was the album title, here she had an album title and then moulded it into a song. 1 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I said it sounds like an after thought, where as Born To die (song) was conceived long before that was the album title, here she had an album title and then moulded it into a song. Yeah but she has also a lot of songs with titles that don't even appear in the song itself. So I don't really think she purposely forced a certain word in to a song. If it didn't feel right for her she wouldn't sing it, so she must be happy with it. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder Revenant 20,966 Posted July 17, 2014 So funny to hear that she remade a "melancholia" song into UV, because she wanted to call the album like that And the way she really admits she herself considers Sad Girl as a filler ... priceless And she still tries to circumvent explaining about what FMWUTTT is about 1 Quote Just do it.

Macintosh Manhattan 6,512 Posted July 17, 2014 If Lana knew and thought that Sad Girl was a filler why didn't she just kept it as a UV bonus track and swapped it for the gem that is Florida Kilos. It would've made sense tracklist wise BC she could've made a story where she travels from Brooklyn-West Coast-Florida. Its such a missed opportunity tbh 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
