September 9, 20159 yr So much love for 'Ride'! :heart: For a while I shrugged it off as being a bit dull but I don't know what I was thinking as upon a certain listen it just all fell into place - insanely gorgeous. I do really like both of the top two, but a 'Born to Die' win please! That was the one that really got me into her.
September 9, 20159 yr Author 2nd: Born To Die Average: 8.99 Bag1gUxuU0g High By The Beach; M¤th (11), SevenSees (11), jafetsigfinns (11), Jay (11), AntoineTTe (11), Henderella (11), Cal (10), Cremey (10), KWEEN_DEE (10), Vülker (10), Joe.

It has a beautiful video to match, possibly my favourite Lana video. I shouldn’t probably have told you this, and I don’t want to take anything away from the winner, as both of the top 2 are worthy of #1 in my eyes - But if it weren’t for Scene and J▲hq’s -1s, ‘Born to Die’ would have comfortably won this rate with an average of 9.34. ……………… ............... 1st: National Anthem Average: 9.14 sxDdEPED0h8 High By The Beach; John-James (11), toxic_air (11), Dobbo (11), Gage (11), Scene (11), HausEveryWeekend (11), JosephBieber (11) burbe (11), J▲hq (11), Joe.

(10), CallumDC (10), Ezra's Whore (10), jark (10), Parallel Reality (10), SevenSees (10) Born To Die; AntoineTTe (4) And your chosen winner of the Lana Del Rey Singles Rate ‘15 is of course ‘National Anthem’! This is among my favourite songs of all time, so I’m pleasantly surprised that it has won the rate as I’d probably have predicted a low top 5 placing. A total of TEN 11s for ‘National Anthem’, which is one of Lana’s rare euphoric and joyus moments (yet obviously still cut with a certain sadness). It seems to be about money and power which is common theme that runs through Lana’s music. The incredible video is a mini-movie and stars Lana as an alternate Jackie Kennedy with A$AP Rocky as her JFK. Well done ‘National Anthem’! Do you y’all agree with the winner?
September 9, 20159 yr I do not agree with the winner, and Jahq is very silly. ^_^ I like National Anthem, but I wouldn't put it within my Top 5 favourite Lana tracks... so I wasn't here for it winning tbh. Born To Die robbed!
September 9, 20159 yr Well done National Anthem! I guess one of her few happy songs so few haters (I guess). But a very worthy winner, I loved it for the longest time as I was just getting into Lana. After Born To Die DID get me into Lana. So fantastic top 2, thank you very much for running such a great rate Joe!
September 9, 20159 yr Author Thanks everyone for your involvement! It's been a very active rate in comments and actual rates so I'm very pleased I did it. Now let's all listen to the song that would have won if it were released as a single: 941DmatcK8M
September 9, 20159 yr Gah, I would have much preferred a 'Born To Die' win, despite being very fond of 'National Anthem'. To me, the former just sums up her appeal better than anything else she's done. I think of it as her signature track, even over 'Video Games'. Silly people throwing around -1s willy-nilly. :nono: Another quality rate, Joe, made all the better by your hosting skills. Thanks for doing it! :D
September 9, 20159 yr This was the perfect top 5 I think :heart: National Anthem is easily her best for me so I'm delighted it's won! Thanks for hosting Joe, nice job :D
September 9, 20159 yr Wow. I didn't know 'National Anthem' was quite that well thought of. Sorry, 'Born To Die' should have won out of the two.
September 9, 20159 yr Great to see Video Games top 3, still her absolute best for me, such a beautiful song :heart: Amazing winner, National Anthem is in my top 3 Lana songs and is such a fantastic moment in her discography :wub: Amazing rate and commentary Joe :heart:
September 9, 20159 yr Perfect top 2! The top 3 would've been perfect if 'Blue Jeans' or 'West Coast' was in it.
September 9, 20159 yr Born to Die & Video Games are SO SO good so it's a shame neither won as they are definitely her two signature songs. The latter easily her best for me, beautiful in it's subtlety and tone, though Born to Die was also wonderful in it's darkness and majestic feel, (I do not get you for those scores Jahq :'(). Albeit, National Anthem was great too, no idea why that wasn't a single, so a very good winner nonetheless! Edited September 9, 20159 yr by Chez Wombat
September 9, 20159 yr I guess the majority is saying my Lana taste is horrible now :( "Video Games" is like her signature song, and this is a predictable top 2 so that was a bust. I feel disappointed.
September 9, 20159 yr Worthy winner but BTD shouldn't be top 10 imo. To me, that is an absurd suggestion.
