I'm sure it's happened before but I have never personally seen an artist post on their youtube videos before! How refreshing.

I can officially say that Born To Die is my most viewed video of the year! It is such a visual treat that I can't stop hitting the replay button. I particularly love the second verse section where the video and music seem to shimmer in complete unison..such clever editing. You can just tell that so much thought went into each part and the overall result is a beautiful masterpiece.

I like that new Born To Die song. Some of the lyrics are less than perfect, but she shows promise.

I also watched the video for Video Games, and I noticed a big difference in her... face?

Did she have surgery or something? Her nose looks completely different.

Anyway, I'm beginning to like her. I do wish her voice had a bit more life though.

Lots of speculation about surgery etc but nothing definitive from Ms Del Rey herself.

Anyway, have you heard Off To The Races, TCB? Her vocals on that are very different to Video Games and Born To Die. And the lyrics, well, here you go:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XLHFiGauDY

My old man is a bad man but I can't deny the way he holds my hand
And he grabs me he has me by my heart
He doesn't mind I have a Las Vegas past. He doesn't mind I have a LA crass way about me
He loves me with every beat of his cocaine heart

Swimming pool glimmering darling white bikini off with my red nail polish
Watch me in the swimming pool bright blue ripples. You sipping, sipping on your black Cristal, yeah

Light of my life, fire of my loins
Be a good baby do what I want
Light of my life, fire of my loins.
Gimme them gold coins. Gimme them coins.

And I'm off to the races. Cases of Bacardi chasers. Chasing me all over town.
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing time again in Rikers Island and I won't get out.
Because I'm crazy baby.
I need you to come here and save me.
I'm your little scarlet starlet singing in the garden. Kiss me on my open mouth.
Ready for you.

My old man is a tough man, but he got a soul as sweet as blood red jam.
And he shows me he knows me, every inch of my tar black soul.
He doesn't mind I have a flat, brokedown life.
In fact, he says he thinks it's why he might like about me, admires me,
The way I roll like a rolling stone.

Likes to watch me in the glass-room, bathroom, trapdoor mama, slippin' on my red dress, putting on my makeup.
Glass-room perfume, cognac lilac fumes. Says it feel like heaven to him.

Light of his life, fire of his loins.
Keep me forever, tell me you want me
Light of your life, fire of your loins.
Tell me you want me, gimme them coins.

And I'm off to the races, cases of Bacardi chasers.
Chasing me all over town.
Cuz he knows I'm wasted, facing time again in Rikers Island and I won't get out.
Because I'm crazy baby.
I need you to come here and save me.
I'm your little scarlet starlet singing in the garden
Kiss me on my open mouth.

Now I'm off to the races, laces, leather on my waist is tight and I am falling down
I can see your faces, shameless, Chiffioni's basement.
Love you but I'm going down.
God I'm so crazy, baby, I'm sorry that I'm misbehaving.
I'm your little harlot, starlet, Queen of Coney Island. Raising hell all over town.
Sorry 'bout it.

My old man is a thief and I'm going to stay and pray with him til' the end,
But I trust him, the decision of the Lord to watch over us.
Take him when he may if he may. I'm not afraid to say that I'd die without him.
Who else is going to put up with me this way? I need you I breathe you I'd never leave you.
They would rue the day I was alone without you
You're lying with your gold chain on, cigar hanging from your lips.
I said, Hun, you never looked so beautiful as you do now my man.

And we're off to the races, places. Ready, set, the gate is down and then we're going in
To Las Vegas, chaos, casino oasis. Honey it is time to spit.
Boy you're so crazy, baby
I love you forever, Not maybe
You are my one true love (x3)

(thanks to youtube member beohlai for these lyrics)

I love Off To The Races, it paints a very different vibe and energy she has.

Oh, that's actually nice. I hadn't heard that before, only the singles.

The ''fire of my loins'' line instantly reminded me of a certain episode of FRIENDS though.

I'll be keeping an eye out.

It's from her shelved Lizzy Grant album, Nevada, LM. It's been on youtube for a while but it looks like Lana is putting them all on her channel now. Gigwise had the right idea all those years ago! It sounds like the original video was very similar to Video Games. Shame she took it down.


If Duffy and Portishead had a child they might come out with Lizzy Grant. With the video for her first single 'Yayo', her eerie but stunning voice creeps through footage of old Hollywood and Las Vegas as she takes you on a six minute YouTube journey. Check out the video here on Gigwise...October 20, 2008

14th January IIRC. I did read somewhere that she will be the first artist in the show's history to appear on the show before their debut album had even been released. No idea if that is correct.

It is correct. She is. I am eager to see what her live performances are like. Several gig reviews have been awful.

Beautiful acoustic live rendition of Video Games poolside at Chateau Marmont. She still appears slightly 'awkward' live but my God that voice.

When is her album out? I'm obsessed with Born To Die and Video Games, thanks to DS putting her in people to watch in 2012. I think both her and Emeli Sande have bright futures ahead of them!

I love that Lana continues to interact with her fans on youtube, twitter and facebook. Another stellar song from her back catalogue (check out the author of the top rated comment). Obviously not going to be on the album but in the absence of an AT.....
