Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[LaMartine 1,201]

yeah i loved the MTWBT vid, the opening gives me chills when the neon sign lights up

 

you know i found that beginning very well put together and chilling too, it reminds me of 13 beaches because every time i hear "i'm camera ready" i have these huge feelings: i can see her looking at the camera and walking in - in a "i'm ready for my close ups" way

Remember when she used to put out beautifully edited videos with a concept behind every footage and lots of hidden messages, Ultraviolence:

YOU TRIED IT

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336]

This era was 

Anyway it's a great album

[ultrababy 3,445]

YOU TRIED IT

Well at least it perfectly fits the song and the meaning behind it. And it also fits the whole aesthetic of the album

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336]

Shades Of Cool is still her best video

[Cloudbusting 5,382]

1. Heroin
2. Cherry
3. Best American Record   
4. Get Free
5. White Mustang
6. 13 Beaches
7. Groupie Love
8. When the World Was At War We Kept Dancing
9. Beautiful People
10. Tomorrow Never Came
11. Change
12. In My Feelings
13. Love
14. Lust For Life
15. Summer Bummer
16. God Bless America
17. Coachella

I know this is old after almost 2 months of the release but seems like I finally decided my ranking based on how much I play the songs per week or so, not on how good the songs are because Love and LFL would be higher lol

Okay so that's a wrap for this era's music videos then... can't wait to see what she has in store for the next record, i'd like to see her go back to her roots and make her own homeade videos again cus they're so sweet

[Tristesse 1,765]

Born to Die and Shades of Cool are by far her best videos 

[Terrence Loves Me 72,746]

And Video Games ^^^^

Born To Die music video was so elegant and artistic and equisite and opulent and beautiful and asdfghjkl.

Y'all forgot Ride

100% Agree! That video was pure ART. Perfect cinematography, perfect lighting, perfect locations, perfect everything. Idk what's happened to her visuals anymore, they seem so lazy and careless. She's either had a brain transplant since 2014 or she just needs better directors... way, waaay better directors.

I feel like she used to write songs and imagine video concepts with her fame/Hollywood/Lolita fantasies in her mind back in the day (2012). Now she's doing all of that but with the real world in her mind, that's why we got tracks like Coachella and GBA from LFL and not-so-iconic video concepts.

I'm still can't believe the WM video is released 

[Beautiful Loser 48,987]

holy shit, she looks over the mess in her dreams like her peaches are ruined and it continues on as you said 

 

and she breaks the forth wall when she curses in her dream or hallucination (that(s too much, in't it? it's too extra to look at the camera)

I finally have someone to spazz fangirl ideas with!

You probably didn't mean anything hurtful by that but it sounded mean in my ears.

Be careful with words!

This video was so unnecessary, i could live without it

[softdecay 539]

I kinda see why Lana hates us, all we ever do is complain lol

 

But seriously, she matured, settled down and now she is basically saying she gives zero fucks about our opinions and she's trying to innovate, and she does deserve some slack though. I'm not really defending her lazy ass, but she isn't the old 'spank me daddy' tumblr girl anymore. Let's see where this new self-discovery era takes her. All I want is for her to be happy and releasing life is beautiful.

 

it's my opinion, please don't kill me

[loleetah 4,084]

Do we know who directed WM? I'd be interested to know. 

[toshi 948]

I really like the song itself, its a strong song, I know a lot of you would have preferred a different song to receive video treatment and I agree (13 Beaches for me). This just all seems so pointless because its a good song with a random music video that has no connection to the song.

[Wynwood 19,967]

i like WM less after seeing the video
