Best LDR Musical Moment

[voidofcelluloid 22]

The desperate "Ray, Ray, Ray, raise me up!" in the final chorus of Raise Me Up.

[VegasBaby 895]

I love the idea of this thread. I've thought about my favourite moments in her songs and it's interesting to read other people's and what they mean to them.

The chorus of Bad Disease. She's so raw in this song. I love it but it's sometimes hard to listen to.
 
The whole of Gods & Monsters but especially:
 
You got that medicine I need
Dope, shoot it up straight to the heart please
 
The way she sings that part...
 
The chorus of Hollywood's Dead but all of it is pretty fantastic.
 
The ending of Motel 6. Too cute.
 
The intro/outro of Pawn Shop Blues <3
 
All of Playing Dangerous.

 

"I feel so alone on a Friday night, can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you're mine" -BTD

 

"Let's take Jesus off the dashboard
Got enough on his mind" - DMD. Epic.

I love "Lana, how I hate those guys!," the part in "Cola" when she goes high, "Pushing up my (moaning) in your face, in your face" and "by my saviOUR!" so much.

I still can t handle the end of Video Games

[lflflflflflflflflflf 3,723]

The loon at the start of Million Dollar Man > the air I breathe.

 

And the "oohs" at the end of Off To The Races.

Yeah. The whole song, the production, the backing, the instruments..is perfection. I also love the backing sounds of when she sings "the way I roll like a rolling stone" in the second verse. I'm not sure what that effect is but it's really awesome.

I'm kind of offended you would publicly suggest that I, a fellow mod, would violate LanaBoards' tenth commandment by creating a troll account:

10. Duplicate accounts are not allowed, if you are banned you cannot create a new account.

 

What's next, accusing the admin of breaking their own rule about multiple accounts?

[Viva 3,173]

my pussy tastes like pepsi cola

[Mileena 2,696]

impossible for me to choose, but i think that all the way throughout the second version of come when you call me america she sounds hot as fuck. 

[Hello Heaven 1,579]

I think I'm going to have to have yet another Lana marathon and list the best parts for me because I could think of a few now but there's always one thing about a song by her which is so amazing that I can't even describe it.

[ExoticFlower 894]

The intro of million dollar man:

"You said I was the most exotic flowah" 

 

The scarlet starlet in off to the races - I just love the way her voice pitch at the top.

 

"Kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine" in Lolita.

 

Her breathy voice in American "Like an American".

 

I absolutely love the "only seventeen, but she walks the street so mean" in Carmen.

 

Mmm... and the southern drawl in the "kitty cat" part of Queen of the Gas Station.

 

The "a sway of the hips" part in oh say can you see absolutely slays me every goddamn time

I just love her accent throughout the whole Lana Del Ray album.

I was going to do my homework, woops. Embrace yourselves:

Video Games:

At 0:03-0:05 The way she just naturally blinks at the camera. I remember the first time I saw that particular moment I just... 

Born To Die:

The whole video really... But at the ending when Bradley is holding Lana in his arms. It's so graphic yet so morbidly beautiful.

 

Blue Jeans:

The first 30 seconds of the video with that extra melody. I can remember watching the video just for the sake of those 30 seconds. It's just flawless 

National Anthem:

1:06-1:10 There's a reason why it's my signature. The way she just strokes her hair back, I can't even 

Summertime Sadness:

3:30 The fall. There's this moment where Lana and Jaime is floating in the air. Time just seems to stop there for a second. And to this day every time I see the video my heart just stops at 3:47 

Ride:

This song/video always makes me all teary and stuff. I just can't see the video without hearing the lyrics in the beginning and the end. Same goes for National Anthem. I remember the day it came out, I was on my way to school and just as I got on the bus I saw Lana tweeting about it. So I decided to watch it when I got home. I was so excited all day in school to get home I just couldn't contain myself. Finally when I got home I locked the door to my room and boy oh boy was it wourth the wait. I know I'm supposed to pick out that moment in the song/video that makes my heart drop, but I couldn't do that to this song because it wouldn't be fair for all the other clips to this masterpiece. Everything in this video is just too much for me to handle 

 

I'm aware I didn't write about Blue Velvet, Carmen and Burning Desire. Nevertheless, they're also perfection

Off To The Races:

  Quote

And we're off to the races, places

Ready, set the gate is down
And now we're going in
To Las Vegas, chaos
Casino oasis
Honey it's time to spin
Boy you're so crazy baby
I love you forever, not maybe
You are my one true love
You are my one true love  ← Heavenly high pitch that's too much for me to handle 

 

National Anthem:

  Quote

He says to "be cool" but
I don't know how yet
Wind in my hair
Hand on the back of my neck
I said, "Can we party later on?"
He said, "Yes, yes, yes"

 

[...]

 

He said to "be cool" but
I'm already coolest
I said to, “Get real,"
“Don't you know who you're dealing with?
Um, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds?”

 

Summertime Sadness:

  Quote

I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later's better than never
Even if you're gone I'm gonna drive (drive, drive)

 

This Is What Makes Us Girls:

  Quote

The prettiest in crowd that you had ever seen
Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean
A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens
And you know something?

They were the only friends I ever had
We got into trouble and when stuff got bad
I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform
Crying 'cause I know I'm never comin' back.

 

Without You:

  Quote

We were two kids, just tryin' to get out,
Live on the dark side of the American dream.
We would dance all night, play our music loud,
When we grew up nothing was what it seemed.

 

Lucky Ones:

  Quote

(LAST)

Every now and then, the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time... (At 3:12 this melancholy tune start and I just  )

 

Cola:

  Quote

Obviously 

 

Drugs suck it up
Like vanilla icies
Don’t treat me rough,
Treat me really niceys
Decorate my neck
Diamantes ices
Why, come on, come on
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Ooh, yeah

 

Yayo (AKA):

  Quote

(LAST)

Let me put on a show for you, daddy
Let me put on a show
Let me put on a show for you, tiger
Let me put on a show

 

I know, I know. There's this huge debate about the new/old Yayo. In fact I appreciate both of them equally actually. The thing that makes me more attracted to the older one though is the towards the ending when the lyrics above is being read. The tune at about 4:51 in the background just has this compelling tune that makes me wanna

Million Dollar Man:

I've said it once before and I'll say it again. The day I see Lana perform Million Dollar Man in James Bond is the day I can die peacefully

"I-I wear your sparkle..."

 

Every minute of the L'Album De La Semaine performance of Million Dollar Man. It's so beautiful and when you see the light reflecting from her eyes, she looks so sad and it just breaks your heart. Also love her theatrics and her messy hair is a bonus.
