Ride is my favourite Lana song of all time.

 

I love West Coast but I can't really decipher what it's about lol.

 

I guess it'd be

 

1. Ride

2. Video Games

3. HBTB

4. West Coast

5. Love


All the roses are red, and Jupiter too

Not even gonna try to rank them, I'm not gonna torture myself. But I voted for Ride because for me it embodies what Lana is all about.

at the time Video Games came out, it was definitely Video Games

ain't no way anything could match it or better it

 

at the time Ride came out, it was definitely Ride (but the full monologue and epilogue make it even better)

ain't no way anything could match it or better it  (and then came American as one of the greatest 1-2 punches in recording history)

 

at the time West Coast came out, it was definitely West Coast

ain't no way anything could match it or better it (AND the Ultraviolence album has the greatest three songs in a row in history (Shades/Brooklyn/West)

following wham/bam with another three-fer followed by the two-fer that ends the official album.

 

at the time High by the beach came out, it was definitely High by the beach

(and then when the video came out, that sound in the beginning was known)

ain't no way anything could match or better it

 

leading to Honeymoon being an album one has to listen in full again and again and again, like an Opera the whole piece as one. (which is one reason no bonus, no filler). It just can't be cut. Either one gets it or one doesn't. A masterpiece.

 

....

at the time Love came out, it was Love

ain't no way anything could match it or better it

then came Lust for Life

then came Coachella- and I honestly can't think of how anything could match Coachella or better it

 

to be continued.


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp
