Lana Del Rey - This Is What Makes Us Girls - Yay or Nay?
Another song from Lana's upcoming album has surfaced. Again, it's pretty different to the others already out there. Got to love her diversity.
http://karmalover.tumblr.com/post/14...makes-us-girls Remember how we used to party up all night Sneaking out and looking for a taste of real life Drinking in the small town firelight (Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) Sweet sixteen and we had arrived Walking down the street as they whistle, "Hi, hi!" Stealin' police cars with the senior guys Teachers said we'd never make it out alive There she was my new best friend High heels in her hands, swayin' in the wind While she starts to cry, mascara runnin' down her little Bambi eyes: "Lana, how I hate those guys." This is what makes us girls We don't look for heaven and we put our love first Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen And that's where the beginning of the end begun Everybody knew that we had too much fun We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job (With the boss) Sweet sixteen and we had arrived Baby's table dancin' at the local dive Cheerin our names in the pink spotlight Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night Know we used to go break in to the hotel pool, glittering we'd swim Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops screaming, "Get us while we're hot" "We don't give a whaaat!" This is what makes us girls We don't look for heaven and we put our love first Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We don't stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen The prettiest crowd that you had ever seen Ribbons in our hair and our eyes gleamed mean A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens And you know something? They were the only friends I ever had We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away, I was waving on the train platform Crying 'cause I know I'm never comin' back. This is what makes us girls We don't look for heaven and we put our love first Don't you know we'd die for it? It's a curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls Darlin' little queens do you know what you're worth? I'll tell you everyday till you get it, girl It's all gonna happen This is what makes us girls now, baby. This is why we rule the world now, baby. This is what makes us girls now, baby. Why we rule the world now, baby, oh. (courtesy of http://www.azlyrics.com ) |

OMG I adore it. I think this might be my fave one yet. If Lana isn't 2012's biggest music star there is something seriously wrong. Everything about her is just so ace. The songs feel so real too and have proper meaning behind them. I've never felt like this about an artist before but she has totally opened my eyes.

It's alright. Will listen to some of her other stuff.
Britney Spears is one of her influences, apparently. Good stuff

I really wanted to like Lana Del Rey's music, but it just is not working for me, I love to discover something new, and after all the praise that Lana has received, I was hoping I would love her songs, but I am just not getting it - my loss I know. I wish Lana all the best though in her music career.

Am liking it more than Off to the Races, but not as much as Video Games or Born To Die. Good to hear a bit of variety though.

I'm hopping from one Lana-obsessed song to the next! This is right up there with everything else I have heard from her so far. I can see this being a single too. Think it would be a good choice for an uptempo number. Off To The Races is great too but it may be just a little too quirky for the charts.

I think why i have this instant love for her and respect is because she is so very old skool, she lives her music and it is hypnotic and i love that! I get these spiritual, Stevie Nicks, Nancy Sinatra, Disney Princess vibes about her...and that is the best i can describe it...absurd magic! And ithink Off To The Races may work for some radio airplay....but This Is What Makes Us girls could really work! It is very much kinda sonically driven. |

I like that it's a little different from what we've heard so far but like Off To The Races it's just missing something for me.

Can't get into this at all after loving Video Games & Born To Die. Really is missing something and the lyrics are nowhere near as good as the above mentioned.
To me, it really sounds like a crap demo

Interesting. Lana posted this message on her facebook a couple of hours ago:
Lana Del Rey the versions of National Anthem and This Is What makes Us Girls that have been leaked are demos + sound nothing like they do on the album http://www.facebook.com/lanadelrey |

I'm still not seeing what all the fuss over her is about
![]() Her other songs are okay, good lyrics and interesting videos but the music & her voice sound a bit weak to me. And honestly? This one sounds like something a "teen sensation" working for Disney would release. |

Trying to detach myself from the uneasy feeling I have about who Elizabeth Grant is in reality & how she likes to represent herself in her imagined world this is still a below par song with over girly (although slightly strange) sentiment.I'm sure when this very lo-fi sounding song is (over) produced on the album version it will sound very different though. |

Reminds me of a cross between Ke$ha and the random whispers are like LFO
She's got a great, distinctive voice and seems less trashy than Ke$ha so should be better received. |

On the contrary, I actually think this song is quite clever. On first listen you might mistake it for being some "female empowerment" anthem, with the rebellious teen verses and especially with the ad libs at the end about "girls ruling the world" but the song is anything but. In fact, it is quite mocking in an ironic way with Lana's deliberate sugary sweet vocal delivery lamenting the lack of sisterhood solidarity where girls "put love first" and become consumed by it. Sure it is fairly simple but I like the sentiment
![]() I don't really see a Disney act doing a song like this. |
