What Lana song struck you first?

[xcx 2,192]

Cruel World

 

The "craaaaazyyyyyy" in the chorus really got to me

[Cashew 1,823]

Summertime Sadness and West Coast

 

These two songs really hypnotised me

[cherryblossoms 10,405]

Shades of Cool tbh

[leaked_version 10,499]

Video Games became my all time favourite song after Queen Katy Perry's "Roar".

 

I stan for hits motherfucker.

young and beautiful

[VioletsnRoses 50]

My first song was Blue Jeans, but what struck a cord with me had to be Carmen bc I was at a time in my life that I could relate to that song.

[Brooklyn Baby 1,974]

At first i really didnt like Lana's music at all but when i heard Young And Beautiful I felt something 

[forkpt1 831]

The first time listening to video games blew me away. The cinematic feel of the video brought back a lot of nostalgic memories for me. I remember first listening to her first EP (lana del rey) from beginning to end. I wish I could go back to the day that I first discovered her in December of 2011. After that, Yayo inspired me to check out her AKA album

[Mafiosa 1,089]

probably video games, born to die, or blue jeans. those were the singles, of course, and the songs i heard first. i remember being so completely awestruck by how beautiful video games was. but born to die made me listen to the whole album.

Lana's doing Skeeter Davis End of the world shortly after she sang it live, a friend led me to the audio of it

End of the world was always a favorite song of mine

 

So that goes back to what? 2008 or 2009.

 

Big fan of Skeeter's, saw her in concert in Nashville many times as I have been in or through Nasville at least 40 times in the 70s-90s and talked to Skeeter many times over the years before she died of cancer in the early 2000s. 

 But she was the most positive uplifting person in the world her whole life

Anyone who ever met her would have fallen in love with her.

Without Skeeter, there wouldn't have been another of my all time favorites Tammy Wynette.

(I love old country and the great thing is about those older stars, they treated fans like family, and remember you if you came back often (was it my NY accent?).

 

Lana's people should attempt to get her music to country artists or perhaps get a duet or two.  Ride could have been recorded by Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard

Would love to hear Dolly do a bluegrass version of one of her songs, or Emmylou Harris  (along with some of today's superstars).

off to the races

[lizzygrantsghost 10]

It was either Aviation or Serial Killer. I liked Video Games when it first came out but then when I heard Blue Jeans/Born to Die in early 12' I hated them, which is weird because I love them now. I stopped being interested in her after that until early 13' when I found Aviation and Serial Killer. Again stopped being interested in her until later that year when I finally listened to the rest of BTD and all her unreleased stuff like Mermaid Motel, Angels Forever etc and became a fan. Other than Sirens I think BTD is her best work so I have no idea why I hated it so much in the beginning.

[BlueJeans 2,606]

Born To Die. I watched the video two or three times before actually getting the atmosphere, her voice etc..

But Blue Jeans sealed the deal

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,354]

Blue Jeans for me. Back in 2011, when Video Games came out, I didn't really care about Lana (in fact, I even found her kinda annoying because Video Games was on the radio way too often and I didn't like it at that time). Then I pretty much forgot about her until mid-2012, when Summertime Sadness became a radio hit and I liked it quite a lot, so I decided to give Lana another chance. Listened to Blue Jeans, fell in love with it, fell in love with the rest of the album and fell in love with Lana. Since then, she's my favorite singer.

Dark Paradise

[wittycatchphrase 1,399]

Video Games. I checked it out after the whole SNL snafu happened and fell in love immediately. I will always remember the first time I heard it sitting outside on my porch at night by myself, it was so beautiful to me I almost cried lol.

[ZeroZero 2,225]

This Is What Makes Us Girls

[Lust 4,031]

The first song I heard by her was summertime sadness and national anthem. Soon after that I discovered a whole bunch of her songs because of remixes. Then I heard gods and monsters and instantly felt something ...something that I had never felt before with music. It was as if I was being enchanted. The way she sung that song is just amazing. I love its writing and the drums really add to its magical feeling. It was that moment I knew that lana's music is truely different from all the others. I felt like that song touched my soul.

[riina 1,054]

Serial Killer and Kill Kill

[nani 21]

It wasn't one song in particular, it was when I listened to Born to Die: Paradise Edition in full for the first time.
