She was very much a "character" here. 'Lana Del Rey' =/= Elizabeth Woolridge. She's a hollywood starlet. A girl with a dream. A fragile beauty. A teacher. A whore (WHORE!) I wish she would find that character again. I feel she's just herself these days.
“I was always an unusual girl, my mother told me that I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing me due north, no fixed personality. Just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide as wavering as the ocean. And if I said that I didn't plan for it to turn out this way I’d be lying- because I was born to be the other woman. I belonged to no one- who belonged to everyone, who had nothing- who wanted everything with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn’t even talk about- and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me. Every night I used to pray that I’d find my people- and finally I did- on the open road. We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art.”
Come take a walk on the WILD SIDE Let me FUCK you hard in the pouring rain You like your girls INSANE
I'm always intrigued by how different her voice sounds during this era compared to everything afterwards. Is it just youth or a conscious choice?
I'm thankful she has never tried to recreate this song (or sound) and that's what makes it so special to me. Hearing it live was also an EXPERIENCE
