Walt Whitman, I Sing the Body Electric:
I SING the Body electric;
The armies of those I love engirth me, and I engirth them;
They will not let me off till I go with them, respond to them,
And discorrupt them, and charge them full with the charge of the Soul.

Was it doubted that those who corrupt their own bodies conceal themselves;
And if those who defile the living are as bad as they who defile the dead?
And if the body does not do as much as the Soul?
And if the body were not the Soul, what is the Soul?

The love of the Body of man or woman balks account—the body itself balks account;
That of the male is perfect, and that of the female is perfect.

Lana del Ray - Body Electric
Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother,
Jesus is my bestest friend.
I don’t need nobody, ‘cause we got each other,
Or at least I pretend.
We get down every Friday night,
Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight.
Grand old opre, feelin’ alright,
She prays the rosary for my broken mind.
I sing the body electric,
I sing the body electric, baby.
I sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric,
Sing the body electric.
I’m on fire, baby, I’m on fire.



Ayup.


I don't get it... why are you comparing a poet from from the 1800s to a pop/hipster/emo artist from today?
 
I really don't understand the hate. Not for everyone and of course her image is manufactured like every single pop star who has ever existed...

So remind me why people can't enjoy the music for what it is?

Comparing a pop artist to a famous poet. Not sure what you were trying to accomplish there. Disappointing, Stump.

I've only recently began listening to her music but I really love the luxuriousness of her voice and the general feel of her songs. I have to agree with some previous posters that Blue Jeans is my favorite, followed by National Anthem and Video Games. I didn't pay attention when her album released last year so next month will be a really good opportunity for me to pick up what sounds like an excellent release.
 
Count me in.

I haven't listened to BTD in a while. Should get a few tracks in tonight before I go to bed, I suppose...

?

The song obviously references Whitman's poem, even going as far as mentioning him outright.
I assume you are trying to imply that her lyricism is lacking in some way. Do you expect her songwriting to be on par with WALT WHITMAN'S writing?
 
Well done OP. I've been on a Lana Del Rey kick lately, so I'm looking forward to Paradise.

That album cover just oozes of Radio's lyrics. Just "fuck yeah, I'm famous." Ain't even mad.
 
are you serious? nothing wrong with liking her, but this just looks like denial.

Haha what? I haven't been marketed to. I don't read magazines, don't watch commercials, don't click on random ads, know her persona isn't real, and still like her music.

Whats so hard to believe about that? I don't get it.

and you don´t see a sliver of marketing or managing. well, thats you then
 
Yayo is really shit. I don't enjoy it at all, and am disappointed it has been included.

I love her rendition of Blue Velvet though.

*F-Type video with Burning Desire in the background*

More info:
'Burning Desire' to be the soundtrack to a short film starring Golden Globe nominee and Emmy Award winning actor Damian Lewis, which will be created by Jaguar in association with Ridley Scott Associates (source).

Edit #2:

More pictures

 
Ride is available in the US, now. On iTunes, it's not listed as a single which is odd. You have to find it on the Paradise EP (there are two, one is a duplicate which is also odd). Amazon does have it as a single though.

VIDEO NEXT WEEK!!!
 
I'm just waking up and learning about the release. Just only 5 days late. Great. At least I have it now :D Both Amazon and iTunes links added at the op.
 
Lana Del Rey - Yayo

The homemade video has made its way to the internets. The song is included in Paradise Edition and Lana's first album as Lizzy Grant.

ETA: Apparently Ride is premiering Wednesday:
@LanaDelRey

Come see the short film we've made for 'Ride' at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, CA on Wednesday Oct 10 from 7 to 11pm
@LanaDelRey

Ill be there all night showing it every half hour. Check website tomorrow for more details
 
I was hoping the bump was for the leak.

I'm sure its better for her to have it leak closer to the real release date which is so far away.

Excellent.
 
Today's a good day to be a Lana fan as there are 4 new leaks today:

Forhand Road
(sounds like her Lizzy Grant stuff)

Prom Song (Gone Wrong)
(I actually dig this a lot and it's my favorite of the four. Reminds me of Marilyn Monroe)

Butteflies
(This one is alright)

Metamphetamines (this one is really LQ and short though. You can barely understand what she's saying).

lmao. I wonder who leaks her stuff.

Out of these, I think my favorites are Forhand Road and Prom Song.
