[Make me your Dream Life 87,670]

Terrence Loves You is such an underrated song from HM. The instrumental isn't extremely complex but it has subtle details and soft instrumentals that make it interesting. Listening to the acapella and instrumental made me appreciate it so much more. Lana's vocals seem to fade out as she ends each line. Her diction when she sings matches the uniqueness of the song, as she doesn't really have another song like this in her discography. (Although I can see it being compared to Old Money) Plus the two part harmony at the very end of the song + in the choruses comes together to beautifully. One of her best songs in terms of musical composition and lyrics.

TLY always reminds me of this garden that I'd always visit time to time at this science center in my city. It's at its own different league. It's almost legendary imo

Yes Terrence Loves You is one of her best songs ever

I'm not simple, it's trigonometry

 

 

The fact that she made this line work, truly her magnum opus

What does she even mean by that, though?

Lana compares herself to trigonometry, a form of mathematics that is notoriously difficult to grasp and decipher, in order to explain how challenging it is for her feelings to be expressed and understood.

Art Deco is such a stand out track on HM to me. It would've fit in perfectly with The Great Gatsby movie along with Young and Beautiful. If only the song had been born a little earlier!

 

Totally going to get something off my chest while I'm talking about Art Deco - is anyone else here a Pet Shop Boys fan? I wonder if Lana likes them, or if PSB are familiar with Lana? Art Deco gives off SUCH a huge PSB vibe and the lyrics/theme are really unique compared to anything other song of hers. PSB have done some really amazing and unique covers (Always On My Mind, Where The Streets Have No Name, etc.) and I just love them. I think I would die of eternal happiness if they ever did a remake of Art Deco. I can hear their "'cause you want moooore, (why?)" perfectly in my head.

beautiful album, a classic and with amazing dreamy vocals and lyrics

[Doll Harlow 12,367]

I really want another album like this.

 

24 is iconic. Freak is a bop. Terrence Loves You and Honeymoon are heartbreaking. Salvatore is THAT SONG. The Blackest Day is relatable. Swan Song is cathartic. It's just full of masterpieces.

who is terrence tho

[Afterparty 3,025]

Religion is one of Lana Del Rey's best tracks. 

 

that is that on that.

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,335]

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood isn't bad.

@lanaFlowers

Bowie's 1/2 brother Terry Burns, who committed suicide, who was abused badly by his family, and who had mega mental-health problems and extreme sadness

(hence the use of Space Oddity) and tying in with my thoughts as mentioned earlier.

[DominicMars 1,763]

What does she even mean by that, though?

i kind of wonder if it's because of how Lana/Francesco's relationship and Lana/Barrie's relationships seemingly ....um.....overlapped?

 

Partially because he told a paparazzo that they were still together when she was publicly seeing Francesco? or something like that. My memory could be wrong, but I thought it may be a reference to her seeing a new guy before she'd officially broken up w/ her bf/fiancee of a few years. idk

[terencelovesyou 18]

I did not know that info re who Terence was. Interesting.

That's interesting!

 

From Wikipedia: "Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles" (love triangles then?  lol).

 

Also from Wiki: "The 3rd-century astronomers first noted that the lengths of the sides of a right-angle triangle and the angles between those sides have fixed relationships: that is, if at least the length of one side and the value of one angle is known, then all other angles and lengths can be determined algorithmically."

 

So are we to take a calculus approach to Lana's relationships? 

[Thunder Revenant 20,942]

I doubt it's that deep.trigonometry just isn't simple, especially since the guy in TBD seemingly left her for another woman it ties in with the love-triangle metaphor

[theviolence 5,837]

Trigonometry is very simple
