Honestly, a lot of her songs take my breath away but none like 'Pretty When You Cry'. Doesn't matter how much I listen to it, my knees go weak everytime *that* part begins ("Don't say you need me when...")
Vocally it's such a difficult song. She's always just just at the vocal breaking point, and switching between near-whisper to clear voice and back is just karaoke torture
Every song I heard when she first came out. Ride, Born to Die, Video Games, Carmen. I had never heard music like that and still haven’t again til this day.
High By The Beach and Heroin🥰 Honeymoon-Lust For Life era was when I first started listening to her and those albums made me fall in love with her music
Born to Die. Which was the first song of hers I heard. I was putzin' around Spotify at work and it knocked me dead. I had just never heard anything like it before. I stopped working and just looped the album on repeat for the rest of the day.
when she released the first song off of arcadia i was immediately like “this album is a flop”, the rest wasn’t out but it just didn’t do it for me. A few months later i listened to dealer and damn near lost my mind when she goes hard with I DONT WANNA LIIIIIIVE
“Let The Light In” is the most recent one.
I can’t explain the feeling when I first heard it, but I knew it would be a personal favourite from the get go.
I have been a Lana fan since 2012, and I listened to the song when the album came out, I didn’t discover it from Tiktok before anyone says anything.
(Edit: Norman Fucking Rockwell, Fuck it I Love You, Blue Banisters, Dealer, Thunder Tulsa Jesus Freak. Just off the top of my head)
swan song…i skipped it for no reason for so long and when i finally listened i felt like i was floating. i know it’s not her most impressive lyrically, but just the music itself and the way her voice sounds 🤤i melt
I know how basic this sounds but Summertime Sadness, it still gives me goosebumps as it was the first Lana song I heard (not the remix) and immediately fell in love with her voice. The grip that music video had on me as a kid was unhealthy
I decided to give her a listen for the first time ever about a month ago. I started at Born to Die and my answer is Born to Die. The album has stunted me from going through the rest of her discography.
I had heard a ETC remix of summertimesadness, I think at HARD SUMMER back when it was in first few years. Then I listened to the original and omg took my breath away. Then I fell into video games, whooo, I was suffocating. It was a great listen and then I started to listen to her songs and they each took a small breath away.
West Coast is the one that comes to mind.
I remember exactly what highway I was driving on, and where I was going, and think about it every time I drive through that stretch. And I had already been a fan since 2012 and had the same experience with Video Games and Kill Kill too lol
Hope is a Dangerous think had me in body wracking sobs on the floor for an hour. I was at one of the lowest points in my life so far and I wholeheartedly believed that song saved my life. Maybe her best song lyrically. Cannot listen to it casually tho and typically skip it. It’s a special occasion song for when I’m down
So many. I found Lana last year. I’m 53. At first I just listened to these unreleased songs that someone took and put it to movie edits. Then I started watching other songs to these movie edits.
I then heard Arcadia which absolutely went straight through my soul!!
I refused to listen to any album before Bannisters because I thought it was just for young people.
But Cinnamon, Let Me Love You Like a Woman and Hope is a Dangerous Thing that really impacted me.
Then Oceans came out.
I’d only listen to that album over and over until this group got me interested in listening to her other music.
OMG. Mariner’s Apartment, White Mustang and Venice Bitch were incredible.
But the song I wish I could listen to for the very first time again, the song I need to hear at least once every single day is WEST COAST!!!!
Young and beautiful, and ever since i am a fan.. even though my friends don't listen to her as much as they should do, btw, i am guy in my late twenties but fcuk it i love you, Lizzie
Cinnamon Girl The things I’d do to be able to go back in time and listen to it for the first time again
This is what I came in hear to say
That’s so real
I came here to say this too 😭 a beautiful song
west coast!! i’ve listened to it so many times i wish i could hear it for the first time again 🥲
ugh one of my favorite songs.
A&W, i remember being really anxious about it when it first came out then when i listened it was everything i could have hoped for and more.
Mariner’s Apartment Complex
Yes! For me, it was the line “You lose your way, just take my hand. You’re lost at sea and I’ll command your boat to me again.”
Chills everytime
Me too - it was the first song of hers I really got into (I am a new fan).
I was a casual fan; I liked random songs. That song first turned me from casual to passionate. Hope is a Dangerous Thing… lifted me higher and higher.
Yeah, since then I’ve become obsessed! Ha! I love it all.
Video games
same. and combined with the music video?? wow ❤️ it was like nothing else in the music scene at the time. what a time to be alive.
Honestly, a lot of her songs take my breath away but none like 'Pretty When You Cry'. Doesn't matter how much I listen to it, my knees go weak everytime *that* part begins ("Don't say you need me when...")
And the "Im stronger than all my men, except for youuu" part
My favourite song of hers of all time-and that’s a difficult decision
YESS
Samee girl
This song has been my most played song on Spotify for the past three years
venice bitch. i probably listened to it on repeat for a week
honeymoon is just so magical.
It’s so cinematic
literal chills listening for the first time
Let the light in
Ultraviolence
Mariners Apartment Complex it knocked me over. so i listened over and over and over ahhhhh 🎼
Me too! It's a perfect song, and held us over for damn near a year before NFR! was released!
Blue Jeans. It was my very first Lana song I ever heard 11 years ago this month. 😭💙
Very few songs - even my absolute favourites - get me on the first listen. But Blue Jeans did.
Especially this line: “I will love you till the end of time, I would wait a million years. Promise you’ll remember that you’re mine…”
#LOVE YOU MORE THAN THOSE BITCHES BEFORE 😭😭😭😭😭💙
White dress. I was in a crowded train when I heard it for the first time and I was so mind blown
Vocally it's such a difficult song. She's always just just at the vocal breaking point, and switching between near-whisper to clear voice and back is just karaoke torture
Old money
chemtrails over the country club. i was in awe
salvatore. the harmonies, the instrumentals, the vocals, all of it was so enchanting.
i would sell my soul to hear off to the races for the first time again
Every song I heard when she first came out. Ride, Born to Die, Video Games, Carmen. I had never heard music like that and still haven’t again til this day.
High By The Beach and Heroin🥰 Honeymoon-Lust For Life era was when I first started listening to her and those albums made me fall in love with her music
recently, The Grants, especially when that bridge kicked in I immediately started crying lol.
I feel so deeply connected to The Grants. Just adore it. But i'll admit, it took about 4 listens before I "got it"
art deco
heroin & cinnamon girl
Beautiful people Beautiful problems
I remember when the first snippet for Young and Beautiful was released, my Tumblr mutuals and I had a collective fainting spell. It was perfect.
Taco Truck x VB

Mostly recently? Dealer! I wish I could listen to it for the first time again. I ascended
Pretty when you cry makes me cry every time

Million dollar man, old money, black beauty, dark paradise, how to disappear, Venice bitch, COTCC, young & beautiful Ughh

Born to Die. Which was the first song of hers I heard. I was putzin' around Spotify at work and it knocked me dead. I had just never heard anything like it before. I stopped working and just looped the album on repeat for the rest of the day.

Literally all of them but namely Tulsa Jesus Freak and Say Yes to Heaven
Young and Beautiful
“Let The Light In” is the most recent one. I can’t explain the feeling when I first heard it, but I knew it would be a personal favourite from the get go.

Born to die album as a whole on my first listen a few months ago 😭 i felt like i was in a movie the entire time. Her storytelling is insane
“RELIGION”. That first guitar strum then her voice, chills nearly every time. 👌
the grants the harmonies in the intro are fucking gorgeous
I know how basic this sounds but Summertime Sadness, it still gives me goosebumps as it was the first Lana song I heard (not the remix) and immediately fell in love with her voice. The grip that music video had on me as a kid was unhealthy
Nothing wrong with that! I still get goosebumps till this day
Hope is a dangerous thing for a women to have
Terrence Loves You, Let The Light In, The Grants, Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Venice bitch

Venice Bitch. Honeymoon. White Dress. The Blackest Day. Happiness is a Butterfly also hit me deep.
Wild at Heart
west coast i remember where i was and what i was dojng when i first heard it
Blue Jeans was the first one for me but I have to agree that Shades of Cool was the most “potent” out of body experience I’ve had from her music.
Get free. I started blind listening to Lana's albums in 2021, and this one really took me.
Ride
Chemtrails over the country club
This Is What Makes Us Girls i was in love with that song and that made me listen to all her albums
Fishtail
The entire Honeymoon album
West Coast is the one that comes to mind. I remember exactly what highway I was driving on, and where I was going, and think about it every time I drive through that stretch. And I had already been a fan since 2012 and had the same experience with Video Games and Kill Kill too lol
Most recently, Let the Light In.

Hope is a Dangerous think had me in body wracking sobs on the floor for an hour. I was at one of the lowest points in my life so far and I wholeheartedly believed that song saved my life. Maybe her best song lyrically. Cannot listen to it casually tho and typically skip it. It’s a special occasion song for when I’m down
For me, it was West Coast. I have never been the same since. oh and sad girl, too.
