February 27, 201213 yr I found that I actually love 'Born To Die' as a song, but I just hate it when she sings it. Anyone else can sing it and I adore it. I especially love the first 2 lines 'Fear don't fail me now, take me to the finish line'. Such an amazing lyric.
February 27, 201213 yr *Feet. But it's an amazing lyric and it's such an excellent opener to the song and album as a whole, I love it. I wasn't that keen on the title track when I first heard it but it really is fantastic. And Llama Del Rey is amazing!
February 27, 201213 yr Apparently Carmen could well be the next single... From her facebook page. "Finishing editing the video for Carmen today. Shooting the final video in my trilogy with Yoann next week" Sob.
February 27, 201213 yr Oh dear, not the best choice. I'd choose Dark Paradise, National Anthem or (even though it's a bonus track) Lolita.
February 27, 201213 yr I like Carmen but it's not a single at all and I've yet to meet a Lana fan who doesn't hate it! Besides she already filmed the Blue Jeans video... I don't know, maybe it's 'Carmen (LMFAO Remix)' or something!
February 28, 201213 yr This is What Makes Us Girls is far more instant, I think, and would have made a better single.
February 29, 201213 yr Blue Jeans officially confirmed as next single :D Bit odd seeing as it's already been a double A-Side with the debut but it's by miles the best on the album.
February 29, 201213 yr Hmm, seems a bit odd. Would have preferred "National Anthem" or "This Is What Makes Us Girls", leaving "Off To The Races" as the unreleased fan favourite.
February 29, 201213 yr It will be nice to have Blue Jeans as a single as LDR has said that Video Games, Born To Die and Blue Jeans are a kind of trilogy so it makes sense to complete the trilogy. I hope they move on from it relatively quickly though and have This Is What Makes Us Girls as the next single in May. Then as someone else said, Summertime Sadness released at the end of summer.
February 29, 201213 yr She should BLATANTLY be releasing National Anthem and then Summertime Sadness. Blue Jeans is wonderful but it's already been released! (sort of)
February 29, 201213 yr Carmen is not great. I listened to the whole album again today. It's quite uninteresting and I'm struggling to find songs that I would go back to. I remember having this experience with Ellie Goulding's album and the Hurts one too.
March 1, 201213 yr This is What Makes Us Girls is far more instant, I think, and would have made a better single. agreed - a few tweaks here and there and, yes, it sounds like a big hit single to me, that one.... maybe nearer the summer, though? 'Carmen' is a staggeringly awful choice for the next single.... and Blue Jeans? Um.... wasn't that the b-side/aa side to Video Games anyway? Which, in all honesty, is where it belongs. TIWMUG and National Anthem are the two blindingly obvious choices for the next single, I think... they're the 2 tracks everyone seems to highlight after hearing the album, anyway.....
March 3, 201213 yr I don't really *get* 'Blue Jeans', its just sort passes me by when I play it. Def better than 'Carmen' though, which I think is one of the weakest and would have been an absurd single choice. 'National Anthem' would undoubtedly have been the best single - everyone seems to like it. I think 'Off to the Races' or 'Radio' could have worked for radio too and found her a wider audience of those people who thought the first two singles (or now three with Blue Jeans) were a bit one-note. People who like the Video Games/Blue Jeans/Born to Die sound will probably have the album already.
