I still think why did she make that typo Lost For Life, was it on purpose? 

 

Pretty sure it was. From we know / heard from the early concept of LFL, it seems like the album was meant to « make peace » with all the struggles she had experienced in her life, going into this Shangri-la / peace and love serenity kinda feeling. But the world and her life didn’t end up going into that happy, magical, wonderful place.

this is why I think she considered that, maybe, she was « lost for life ». 
the LP we got is the perfect soundtrack for a hot mid-summer that didn’t live to its promises. 

[Rorman Nockwell 56,703]

My name is Rorman and it took me 6 years to realise that she ditched the blanket or tarp or whatever she put over the mic for the final lines (past 4:00) of Get Free and they are purposely clearer to reinforce the point of moving out of the black "haze" and into the clear "blue"

I love lust fo life. It's a multi-faceted record with all kind of new territories for Lana vocally, lyrically and musically.

I STILL ADORE YOU LUST FOR LIFE ALBUM SO FUCKING MUCH I'M STILL ONE OF YOUR BIGGEST AND MOST LOYAL STANS IN THE WORLD 

[lanaismamom 11,544]

ah lust for life is such complicated song… so many time i tried to understand what was that that i can’t enjoy this song and then recently i listened to an instrumental alone and it just blew my mind it felt like i was listening to absolutely new lana song, the instrumental is phenomenon and i finally could see that hard work made on this song (323 mixes) and turned out it’s a real gorgeous and dark piece of art, but i think it’s the way how vocal track is just full of light and it’s such a beautiful idea how much this song had gone through to became what it became, and seeing lana talking about the song saying it was kind of complicated and she couldn’t find the right direction for the track all the time so seeing this specific version of the song being released is really special and i can see why this specific version was released eventually and lana found a peace with this song in this version

 

but unfortunately the difference between instrumental and vocals is what taking away half of my enjoyment  and also i absolutely dislike weeknd on the track 

[ShadesOfFool 20,126]

I love how you can really hear the 60’s girl group influence in a lot of the songs. I think I can hear this most on LFL, Cherry, and Get Free, where’s she’s doing these little “uhhh” “ahhh” “shoo wop” ad libs in the background. So cute.

 

I’ve been listening to Back to Black a lot recently, too, and I appreciate how both albums pull from the same frame of reference (60’s girl groups, Shangri-Las, Ronettes, etc) and still came out completely different. Lana veered more hippie and Amy ended up more Motown.

well deserved

This album changed my life

[Bluelake 2,890]

God Bless America is actually so good 

It sounds so Born To Die, which was nearly titled God Bless America by the way. 

[Cult Leader 5,249]

I'm still in love with this album, I love this era so much. 13 beaches is my song this summer, it's just so dreamy

[Crazy Husband Thief 3,904]

I can't believe how much Heroin has grown on me. I also used to love God Bless America but these days it doesn't sound as good as it used to sound. I still adore this album a lot. Could have been much better with a slightly tweaked tracklist.

 

1. 13 Beaches
2. Cherry
3. Heroin
4. Get Free
5. Love
6. Groupie Love
7. White Mustang
8. When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing
9. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems
10. Tommorrow Never Came
11. God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women In It
12. Lust For Life
13. In My Feelings
14. Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind
15. Summer Bummer
16. Change

[Glitter Boy 16,557]

My favourite Lana album  idt I could rank it but like half of it will always be very dear to my heart.
