mermaid motel Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Ride monologue “I was in the winter of my life- and the men I met along the road were my only summer. At night I fell asleep with visions of myself dancing and laughing and crying with them. Three years down the line of being on an endless world tour and my memories of them were the only things that sustained me, and my only real happy times. I was a singer, not a very popular one, who once had dreams of becoming a beautiful poet- but upon an unfortunate series of events saw those dreams dashed and divided like a million stars in the night sky that I wish on over and over again- sparkling and broken. But I didn’t really mind because I knew that it takes getting everything you ever wanted and then losing it to know what true freedom is. When people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living- they asked me why. But there’s no use in talking to people who have a home, they have no idea what it’s like to seek safety in other people, for home to be where you lie your head. I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me I had chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner decisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn’t plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about- and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open road. We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art. Live fast. Die young. Be Wild. And have fun. I believe in the country America used to be. I believe in the person I want to become, I believe in the freedom of the open road. And my motto is the same as ever- I believe in the kindness of strangers. And when I’m at war with myself- I ride. I just ride. Who are you? Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies? Have you created a life for yourself where you’re free to experience them? I have. I am fucking crazy. But I am free.” I can't get over how amazing tonight was. Lana is perfect and that video is so beautiful and the paradise edition ohmygod 1 Quote

Sitar Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Ride Premiere, Aero Theater: (pics in fan photos, I will not post spoilers) Some lucky fans said they gave lana their # and are getting coffee w/ her after She told a fan she was "worried no one would come" Attendees got free snacks awww red bull They played FULL songs from Paradise while they were waiting.. Including Blue Velvet + the new Yayo + COLA + GOD AND MONSTERS A fan said Lana said "I love Gaga, maybe sooner than you think" to a fan when asked about a collab... @DelReyLane backs this up so... HOWEVER someone else (who I trust) said Lana basically shaded Gaga.. Apparently, one of her people or she herself (?) said it was her best video yet A lot of people were crying at the end Someone said hundreds of people, other thousands. Either way the theater is so small so I hope everyone that came gets to see it!!! Q&A - Lana said she is touring next year, recorded "Yayo" for Paradise edition in one take to give it a jazz vibe, she said "I'd just ride motorcycles... and men" OMG, someone asked about collabs and she said that SHE HAS 2 VERY TALENTED PPL AT THE MOMENT She is NOT getting coffee with that fan, that fan just invited her and she was like "uh..." The only full song I caught (I was one of the last people to enter the first screening) was "American". It had some crystal meth lyrics. i recorded some of it but DAMN you can hear my voice. I'll upload anyway. It is a complete rumor that she said she'd collab with Gaga. I witnessed that question and she IMMEDIATELY changed the subject to other collabs I was crying throughout. I WAS THE ONE WHO ASKED ABOUT "YAYO", I AM SO GLAD THIS WAS WORTHWHILE NEWS THAT SOMEONE REPORTED TO YOU 4 Quote
