To play someone's game or live my own life

And now I do"

Like a groupie incognito...

You tell me life isn't that hard"

Taking our dreams, turning them into things

It's like magic, babe, isn't life wonderful?"

I'm not lonely

You better believe nobody could make me feel lonely"

Born To Die by this Lana Del Rey chick

[Kittren 209]

So except for Love, Lust for life and Coachella, all the songs are first times for me!

 

Love: I immediately loved this song with the first listen. Beautiful, positive, out of this worls. Even my bf love this song.

Lust for life: Also a big love, I like The Weeknd in the track, their voices fit.

13 Beaches: Kind of a new sound to me in this song. The intro sucked me in the song.

Cherry: The chorus is my fav part of the song. Definately love it.

White Mustang: Not a fan of the chorus, the verses sounds good.

Summer Bummer: Interesting song for sure, this slow hip hop is not bad. Needs to grow on me for sure. Verse 3 is a good part. I need more listens for sure.

Groupie Love: Honestly, I do not know what to think about this song. So neautral.

In my feelings: Absolutely amazing! Verse 1 is everything, the first line is brilliant

Coachella - Woodstock in my mind: I heard it once before, does not really stucked in my head, or liked it. Second listen does not changed it. The outro is cool.

God bless America: The songs meaning is clear, and I like it, it is important! The song itself is ok, not a fan of the chorus. Could still grow on me.

When the world was at war: She uses a lot of high notes on this album, I realized at this point. I know it is a dark song, but it feels kind of positive to me.

Beautiful people, beautiful problems: Simply love it, amazing song. Brings out feeling.

Tomorrow never came: Special song, with Sean Lennon´s voice. Definately unique.

Heroin: I definately love the song. This line bought me: I'm flying to the moon again, dreaming about marzipan Taking all my medicine to take my thoughts away

​Change: Beautiful song.Love. Love. Love

Get free: Positive, more upbeat, perfect ending of the record.

 

Favorites: In my feelings, Get free, Change, Cherry, Love, Summer Bummer (I feel it needs to be on this list), 13 Beaches, Tomorrow never came, Lust for life

 

I like the record overall. Good songs, good lyrics, it is relaxing. What I missing is some of that vintage sound. I hope you know guys what I am talking about. It is not my favorite record from her, I am not hiding this fact. I think her pervious albums have better themes, and more colourful sounds. This albums is soft, the songs are really similar, but I have to admit the ASAP Rocky songs bringing freshness into the album.

I can't believe how strong 'Heroin' is to me.. Like it's been on replay for a minute now... It's really deep and dark and I really wonder what the significance of the Charles Manson references are.. i am pretty surprised she's involved him in a few of her projects for him being the crazy killer that he was... it's so interesting to me... And no other female artist would even dare.. Lana is so amazing ugh.. Although i've been really wanting to hear more about the cult she was in.. I wonder if it relates at all to Manson's cult.. I wouldn't be surprised if it was.. Charles seems to have a pretty strong significance to Lana.

while you cumming?

You better believe it, hunny

[ultrababy 3,445]

It would have been nice if Cherry had a few seconds of guitar intro like the live version does. It's one of my favourites and I can't get over how short it is

[WildMustang 14,725]

I have stuck with WM BPBP and TNC ..also Heroin and Get Free

[cherriesinthespring 5,486]

guys help, what is the album art that looks similar to LFL? cant remember what it seemed to be referencing (not iggy pop, that's just the title)

I don't think it's really referencing it but it's a similar style to this:

 

There's a word for this framed style, I can't remember it though. There's a lot of albums that use it from like the 70s

[latothemoon 11,828]

The Recording Academy is probably gonna fuck up and again and snub Lana while nominating Ed Shitstain & other boring shit for everything

[Constantine 4,072]

said you're a WILD Mustang

 

amazing sing

 

 

Get Free is fucking perfect. I hope it's an indication of what the next one's gonna sound like.

[VeryCherryBalm 427]

Cherry is a highlight for sure. (i always mentally picture Lana spilling grape juice on herself during the "fuck" part lmao). 13 Beaches is so beautifully produced!! Heroin feels like a masterpiece and Get Free is serving 1950s prom song vibes tbh
