Honestly, when I listen to Lana I feel like I need an absolute retro house makeover and to play her on Vinyl while lounging around in a satin robe with a proper teacup and big bouncy curls. She's that gal! There's no voice I can compare her too, just gorgeous and so different.

The censored Disney characters are supposed to represent a loss of innocence. And with her throwing up the middle finger, it’s kind of juxtaposing this representation of childhood with something vulgar and more adult. Same with the clip of the girl holding the stuffed animal while smoking cigarette.

OK, a little historical context Carmen is an opera about a temptress who seduces a man into being obsessed and possessive over her to the point where he goes on a mental spiral that includes murder. So she’s obviously using this Carmen character as a metaphor for how she was looked at when she was going through her struggle. She was only 15 when she was sent away and on Ocean Boulevard you’ll hear a lot more of it, but it seems as though she was thought of as this temptress who was this really bad influence and I think she’s speaking from two totally different perspective one as her younger self giving a cautionary tale as she believes the things being said about her are true and then her now having a little bit more empathy for her younger self.

Also, I don’t know if you looked at the comments from the videos last Thursday, but I recommended that you do a set of hers that has million dollar man in it from this era before you move on to the next. And if you want, there is an unreleased song in that set that was supposed to be on born to die that I think you would absolutely love. So if that of your alley, I definitely think you should check out that’s it. I can send you the link.

I remember when this came out back them, lyrics everywhere said "buying her tonights, she's still shining" but at some point it changed to "audio tune lies, she's still shining". Btw, I love your thoughts and perfective of life, and how you can talk about these sensitive matters without judging at all. You're an amazing person!
