That and the vintage vocals at the "swimming pool glimeerimg darling" are one of the best moments of her discography imo 6

Omg, I completely agree. I sing Off To The Races at the top of the lungs every morning on my way to work. BTD will forever be my favorite album of all time. 6

Listening to Lust For Life after it is depressing Yeah, I miss the raw passion Lana had in her early albums (LDR-UV; and parts of HM). Most of LFL so far is fine, but feels a bit soulless. Cherry is the only song we've heard in full so far with true passion. 6

LanaTrailer Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Will there be a song in 'Lust For Life' with a writing as complex as 'Off To The Races'? I do not know, but I pray, I pray. 9

I still don't even think Cherry matches the level of songwriting skill songs from BTD, Paradise and UV had. I hear it in her voice, but compare those lyrics to Ride or OTTR.. 3
GroupieLover Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Off To The Races will forever remain my favorite Lana song and probably my fave song of all time. The iconography in the lyrics, the vocals are so haunting and the way she goes from the deepest end of her range straight up to a childish head voice is euphoric. I also love the samples she uses like the kids yelling "up here! Over here!" in the beginning. And yes, the orchestral outro is so beautiful, I always pictured acrobats swinging around on lace ribbons in the air. It's such a beautiful song and it takes you to so many different places in just 5 minutes. Her magnum opus. 16 I'm in love with the green on the grass and the trees, the scent of my sidewalks perfumed by the rain/ I'm in love with the tunes that colored my youth/ and the smudges of autumn that spill through the pane/I'm in love, just in a different way/ and that's okay.

Flowerbomb Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Can we also talk about how Lana sings "says it feels like heaven to him". Her voice got so deep and sexy like 13
salvatore Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Off to the Races is her magnum opus. Gavel is slammed, case is closed, verdict is final. It has an evolving chorus, heavenly bridge, emotional vocals, orchestral layering with the classic hip hop beats, iconiq Lana imagery, a STORY IN A SONG, one of her most fast-paced songs, showcases her range/versatility with her voice, the most fulfilling song shes ever done, takes advantage of extra runtime without overstaying its welcome, i could go ON honestly my dream live performance of her doing this I want to be the encore, with the background visuals being REALLY fucking fast and almost dizzying, with the last third starting from the extended chorus in which the stage starts to fall the fuck apart and when the orchestra picks up in the bridge just have it sparking on fire and lighting the backscreen and have the panels topple and fizzling out by the last line i know its literally unrealistic but think of how fucking dope that'd be also can i just say im getting suspicious teas from unleakedversion w/o the _, why is there 3 different users with (un)leaked(_)version in they name 16 Thoughts on Yosemite.

H U N T Y "Off To The Races" My old man is a bad man but I can't deny the way he holds my hand And he grabs me, he has me by my heart He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past He doesn't mind I have an LA crass way about me He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart Swimming pool glimmering darling White bikini off with my red nail polish Watch me in the swimming pool Bright blue ripples, you sittin', sippin' on your black Cristal Oh yeah Light of my life, fire of my loins Be a good baby, do what I want Light of my life, fire of my loins Give me them gold coins, give me them coins And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers Chasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted, Facin' time again on Rikers Island and I won't get out Because I'm crazy baby, I need you to come here and save me I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden Kiss me on my open mouth Ready for you My old man is a tough man but He's got a soul as sweet as blood red jam And he shows me, he knows me Every inch of my tar black soul He doesn't mind I have a flat broke down life In fact he says he thinks it's why he might like about me Admires me, the way I roll like a Rolling Stone Likes to watch me in the glass room, bathroom, Chateau Marmont Slippin' on my red dress, puttin' on my makeup Glass film, perfume, cognac, lilac Fumes, says it feels like heaven to him Light of his life, fire of his loins Keep me forever, tell me you own me Light of your life, fire of your loins Tell me you own me, give me them coins And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers Chasin' me all over town 'cause he knows I'm wasted, Facin' time again on Rikers Island and I won't get out Because I'm crazy baby, I need you to come here and save me I'm your little scarlet, starlet, singin' in the garden Kiss me on my open mouth Yo I'm off to the races, laces Leather on my waist is tight and I am fallin' down I can see your face is shameless, Cipriani's basement Love you but I'm going down God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island Raising hell all over town Sorry 'bout it My old man is a thief and I'm gonna stay and pray with him till the end But I trust in the decision of the Lord to watch over us Take him when he may, if he may I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him Who else is gonna put up with me this way? I need you, I breathe you, I'd never leave you They would rue the day I was alone without you You're lyin' with your gold chain on, cigar hangin' from your lips I said "Hun' you never looked so beautiful as you do now, my man." And we're off to the races, places Ready, set, the gate is down and now we're goin' in To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis, honey it is 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 You are my one true love The writing, the rhymes, the storyline, the flow, her vulnerable but playful but CONFIDENT and PASSIONATE vocals, the swelling strings that just burst at the end and flow magically with her voice. i just can't. this one song is better than most careers. 9
Wynwood Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 alright so is Summer Bummer coming out at midnight? because if so, in about 2 hours it will be midnight in the east coast
Lust Posted June 29, 2017 Posted June 29, 2017 Here are the times that there's a chance summer bummer may get released: 8 PM/9 PM, 12 AM, sometime in the morning after 7 AM, all L.A time, if the song ends up being released but then again it's hard to predict things this era...

That specific line is more prominent because beforehand she was singing in a baby voice then she just got low and I was like "damn Lizzy" 2
