Lana Del Rey - Born to Die + Paradise (sync tonight 9pm)

[Cerro de Casa]

Carmen is the weakspot. She's slightly jarring in it. I don't think I ever bothered with the video.

Yes not one of my favourites either. A bit formulaic really.

 

[RJN]

AMAZING song to (literally) collapse and die over

Radio or Goodies?

Right BACK TO THE CLASSICS!

 

[Iguana]

Million Dollar Man is gorgeous and so catchy. It has such a Hollywood sad glamour about it

 

[Cerro de Casa]

'Million Dollar Man'
​

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Queen picks it back up again after a very, very minor dip with 'Radio' and 'Carmen'.

 

[Pipo]

I love the Cabaret style of Million Dollar Man. I've always pictured Jessica Rabbit singing this one.

 

[RJN]

I don't think I got Million Dollar Man in high school, so I haven't listened in years. But it is GORGEOUS. And it's sexy. I'm very much feeling it today

[Iguana]

So glad Summertime Sadness got the attention it deserved, even if it was by way of a remix

 

[Pipo]

Has anyone noticed the recurrent sample of a man screaming throughout some songs or JUST ME? Was it a gimmick?

 

[Cerro de Casa]

'Summertime Sadness'​

 

[GNL]

Big Bond theme energy on 'Million Dollar Man'.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Has anyone noticed the recurrent sample of a man screaming throughout some songs or JUST ME? Was it a gimmick?

Yea I thought it was a hip-hoppy type effect thing 'yeah!' 'a-ha' etc.

 

[RJN]

I have a confession:

I prefer the basic EDM remix. It reminds me of my freshman year of college and going out

 

[POP!]

"Radio" was one of my early Lana favorites, still adore it.

The chorus is so DREAMY - "Now my life's SWEET like CINNAMON - like a fucking dream I'm living in"

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Oh my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore

Fuck us up, why don't you Queen.

 

[Iguana]

It's very much the sound of the album! It adds a bit of edge. I think it was a popular production choice of the time

Until you posted this, I thought it was "sizzling like a snail" I almost regret knowing that's not the lyric!

Nothing below a 9

 

[GNL]

I HATE the remix, but it's mostly because it'll pop up when you're playing random LDR on Spotify and ruin the mood.

 

[RJN]

Nothing below a 9

Well @Jark's not here so someone had to do it

 

[Pipo]

I have a confession:

It's aged horribly

give this a listen instead

 

[POP!]

"Carmen" is a little style over substance, although it's fine. It's not easy being on the same album as wall to wall classics.

 

[Iguana]

I THINK I'm in the minority but I adore This Is What Makes Us Girls!

'This Is What Makes Us Girls'​

 

[Iguana]

I love how she references her name on TIWMUG

 

[RJN]

It's aged horribly

I love shitty 2009-2013 EDM-pop I recognize its bad but its just nostalgic
