Lana Del Rey Questionary

[Matt 984]

1. My friend sent me a video of "Born to Die" - played it, and I was like "wtf is this, boring." Over the next month I would always see ads for Lana Del Rey on the sidebars of YouTube videos and I assumed she was a boring and old mexican singer. Finally one day I decided to check out her videos again. I searched "Lana Del Rey" and one of the videos that came up was "Carmen." It looked cool, so I clicked it, and within seconds I knew this woman would be one of my favorite artists. The image of Felix Cane dropping down the pole while Lana sang, "Darlin' Darlin' doesn't have a problem.." was chilling. The whole home-movie video collage reminded me of a song I love called "John Wayne Gacy Jr." by an artist named Sufjan Stevens. "Carmen" is still my favorite song from Lana.

 

2. Carmen ^

 

3. Her hair in the Carmen video.

 

4. Carmen for NPR.

 

5. "She says you don't want to be like me, don't want to see all the things I've seen, I'm dying, I'm dying"

 

 

6. Is this a serious question?

 

7. Eyes and her long fake eyelashes, they're seductive.

 

8. Nothing, I love EVERYTHING about this woman. She gives me a reason to keep living and going.

 

9. No, sadly.

 

10. Fiona Apple, Bernard Herrmann, Pino Donaggio, The Beach Boys, Elvis

 

11. Obsessed. There's not an hour that goes by that I don't think about her.

 

12. As long as she's still the cool, trash magic filled zombie, I'll love her.

[Myriam 559]

I know this is off topic but I've always been curious about this statement guys sometimes make. I mean what about the girl you're going to be in a relationship with, you don't respect her as much? I honestly don't mean to be rude I'm just really interested

[Fluorine 162]

• 1: When did you first discover Lana Del Rey A friend posted "Video Games" on Facebook, but I actually kind of hated it on first listen. Well, hate is a strong word, but I wasn't into it at the time for reasons that weren't Lana's fault. The girl who posted it had completely misunderstood the song and tried to make it about her own "storybook" romance with a gamer dude, and I couldn't stop rolling my eyes. I'm such a cynic, haha.
  
• 2: What was the first song that made you fall in love with her music "Born To Die," on my first listen to the full album on Spotify the day it came out. I'd listened out of curiosity, not expecting to fall as hard for it as I did.
  
• 3: Favorite Lana hairstyle The long brown hair circa "Blue Jeans."
  
• 4: Favorite live performance Right now it's "Dayglo Reflection" at Le Grand Journal because I love that song and didn't think I'd ever see a performance of it.
  
• 5: Favorite lyric "I'm your national anthem / Boy, put your hands up / Give me a standing ovation / Boy, you have landed / Babe, in the land of sweetness and danger / Queen of Saigon"
  
• 6: Would you make out with Lana if you had the chance to? Only if she wanted it.
  
• 7: Favorite facial feature The perfect symmetry. She has the Golden Ratio for sure.
  
• 8: What's one thing you don't like about Lana? Not really, but I wish she had more confidence in her performing ability. I wish she had never done that SNL gig --- I think it's made her self-conscious ever since.
  
• 9: Have you ever met Lana? Nope!
  
• 10: Who's you favorite artist after Lana? My all-time favorite band is Depeche Mode, but I also really love Madonna.
  
• 11: Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan? Just a fan. Only teenagers can afford to be obsessive, it's not a good look on a college grad.
  
• 12: What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her? Even more so.
  

[liam 560]

• 1: When did you first discover Lana Del Rey August 2011. There was a small article about Video Games in NME magazine with a photo of Lana. Her strikingly beautiful appearance and the article made me want to know more about her, so I checked the song out immediately after reading it.
  
• 2: What was the first song that made you fall in love with her music Video Games. That was the most beautiful song I'd ever heard and Lana was literally the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen in my life. The video was just perfect too. I was captivated by her.
  
• 3: Favorite Lana hairstyle Definitely this style and colour
  
   
  
• 4: Favorite live performance Without You at the Jazz Cafe in London on the 10th April 2012.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0uzCUGwkx0
   
  
• 5: Favorite lyric It's nice to love and be loved but I'd rather know what God knows
  
• 6: Would you make out with Lana if you had the chance to? Er, don't know.
  
• 7: Favorite facial feature Her lips and the cute little ridge at the end of her nose.
  
• 8: What's one thing you don't like about Lana? I literally can't think of anything I don't like about her. I'll come back and edit this if I think of anything.
  
• 9: Have you ever met Lana? Unfortunately not. Hopefully someday.
  
• 10: Who's you favorite artist after Lana? I have quite a few who I like equally. Azealia Banks, Lady Leshurr, Shystie, Pikachunes, Santigold.
  
• 11: Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan? I think I sort of hover between the two.
  
• 12: What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her? Why not.

  !OBSESSED!
  
• 12: What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her?

[RileyThomas 350]

• 1: When did you first discover Lana Del Rey
  

In December of 2011 whilst watching the Born To Die video, I will never forget that moment when I first laid eyes on her.

• 2: What was the first song that made you fall in love with her music
  

Born To Die was the first, and I had it on repeat for a while. But then i heard Without You, and that was it.

• 3: Favorite Lana hairstyle
  

Ash brown / auburn beehive 50's style. But, I do ador the big, glamourpuss dark hair she has in the Ride video.

• 4: Favorite live performance
  

The 'Without You' performance in California, oh God.

• 5: Favorite lyric
  

That's so hard. I guess it has to be, ugh there's too many. "Everything I want I have, money, notoriety & rivieras" Always sticks out in my mind though.

• 6: Would you make out with Lana if you had the chance to?
  

No, I think that would be awkward. But, I'd hold her tight, and never let her go

• 7: Favorite facial feature
  

Her eyes, there so beautiful. They're full of so much sadness, yet so much joy at the same time.

• 8: What's one thing you don't like about Lana?
  

That she smokes, quit baby you don't need those fags.

• 9: Have you ever met Lana?
  

No, but I will before I die. When I see her in concert though, I'm going to scream "I love you Lana" so fucking loud and jump up and down that she will have to take notice of me :)

• 10: Who's you favorite artist after Lana?
  

Amy Macdonald, she has a different writing style to Lana, but it is equally as beautiful.

• 11: Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan?
  

Borderline obsessed. I just have so much love and respect for her.

• 12: What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her?
  

Of course I would still love her, I will never stop. But, that doesn't mean that I can't stop liking her. And, if it came to it, yes I would kill her if she was an evil zombie.

[Poison Ivy 1,588]

1: When did you first discover Lana Del Rey - Around a year ago (I think?) when the Born To Die video came out. I used to dislike her for some reason (it often happens that I first dislike artists I end up loving, so I suppose it became a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point).

 

2: What was the first song that made you fall in love with her music - Well, Born To Die was the first I heard (in the video) and I kept shamefully raping the replay button every time I had the chance because the song was so addicting. Then I got over my 'hate', downloaded the whole album and holy shit I fell for her hard.

 

3: Favorite Lana hairstyle - BIG, I love her big hairstyles or those slight curls of hers in her more relaxed hairstyles. Oh yes and I like her as a redhead the most, all shades of red worked great.

 

4: Favorite live performance - I never got into watching her live performances much (I've seen a few, but I want to see her live myself) so I can't really choose.

 

5: Favorite lyric - THIS IS HARD. "And there's no remedy, for memory, your face is like a melody/ it won't leave my head" but really the whole Dark Paradise is so brilliant lyrically.

 

6: Would you make out with Lana if you had the chance to? Oh yes. Hard.

 

7: Favorite facial feature - Well it's not really a facial feature per se, but she looks so amazingly cute when she smiles, she has a very sweet smile so I'll go for this.

 

8: What's one thing you don't like about Lana? There are some things I morally disagree with a bit, but they're a bit long-winded and it's not necessarily something I don't like about her.

 

9: Have you ever met Lana? No

10: Who's you favorite artist after Lana? Johnny Cash/The Ronnettes/Amy Winehouse

 

11: Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan? Big fan.

 

12: What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her? 'Course, that'd be two of us.

[Rafael 3,513]

1. When did you first discover Lana Del Rey

January 2012. I was having a casual Skype conversation with a friend of mine, and he sent me the link to "Born To Die" telling me I just had to listen it.

 

2. What was the first song that made you fall in love with her music

I wouldn't say I instantly fell in love with her after watching "Born To Die" that day my friend sent me that link. I did however really start to pay attention to her after that. After the album release I do remember listening to "Off To The Races" a lot. It was the first song on the album that I'd say I fell in love with.

 

3. Favorite Lana hairstyle

Unpopular opinion: Blonde hair à la "Poolside" 

4. Favorite live performance

Does the "Goodbye Kiss" cover on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge count?

 

5. Favorite lyric

"Hair to my ass will be flying in the wind" 

 

6. Would you make out with Lana if you had the chance to?

 

7. Favorite facial feature

 

8. What's one thing you don't like about Lana?

Her lack of tweeting. Also when she tried to pull this off. I mean really? Just pull on that racer jacket of yours and you're all set. Example. She looks so fucking adorable! I just wanna hug her for all eternity.

 

9. Have you ever met Lana?

Shook her hand, looked right into her eyes and thanked her. All for a good approximate two seconds or so and then she greeted the next fan in the crowd 

 

10. Who's you favorite artist after Lana?

Lizzy 

 

11. Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan?

Borderline obsessed, borderline stalker, borderline big fan. Admirer from afar? Hasn't stalking her become sort of like everyone's occupation on this forum? 

 

12. What if Lana was secretly an evil zombie would you still love her?

[Summersault 824]

1: When did you first discover Lana Del Rey - November '11. Heard Video Games on the radio.

7: Favorite facial feature - Her eyes, especially when she get's teary eyed during songs.

10: Who's you favorite artist after Lana? Prob. James Blake or the Doors.

11: Would you say you're obsessed or just a really big fan? Obsessed, let's be real. Her whole story, universe and persona is just one big mystery. The gift that keeps on giving
