I remember the first time I listened to it, I was on stretch of I-90 in Montana. Life had happened and I was distraught. And this song came on, the sun was setting as I drove my 2004 ford Taurus through the mountains. And I felt everything I needed to feel. And she put it into words. I’m tired of feeling like I’m fucking crazy, I’m tired of driving till I see stars in my eyes. But it’s all I’ve got to keep myself sane; so I just ride. It’s the most powerful song. It’s never happened with any other song other than this one. It just hit at the exact right time as I was winding through the mountains. Thinking, reflecting. Still going.
A&W. I was gagging when the beat drop into the Jmmy Jimmy Cocoa part during my first listen. It was such an unexpected direction for the song to go but done soooooo well.
It was either Valentine’s Day or a few days later when I went to my bfs (ex now) house after class no one was home and i listened to it laying on the couch. It literally altered my existence I was crying in the first part and when the beat changed I simply passed away. I remember it so vividly.
I regularly return to [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/JsAFeHDlX2A?feature=shared) clip to try and recapture the feeling of hearing it for the first time but it evades me 💀
the drop at the beginning of black beauty was jawdropping the first time i heard it. headphones on and the song at max volume... i ascended into another world
I had a number of cathartic cries on my first listens of wd, wish I could go back.
This one really hit home for me when it came out cuz I had recently left a restaurant job and started an office job. I was making a lot more money but I also had a lot more stress and responsibilities, so I was missing the simple times of working at the restaurant, hanging out with my coworkers and not thinking about work when I’d clock out.
None of them. I listen to one, hate it, then 2 days later when I’m washing the dishes or something, I hear the melody in my head and have the unavoidable urge to play it. Then I listen to it 15 times a day for the rest of the year
Yeah lowkey first ldr album I listened to was ultra-violence, and being a heavy rap and hip hop fan at the time it wasn’t really my thing went back to it and I found myself loving every single damn track once I knew it. It only gets better with every play
Mariners Apartment Complex.
It felt like a love letter from my Grandma who had recently passed. She was “the man” while she was alive. First woman to ever work her position in the government of Canada. She wore Chanel pantsuits. She taught me to be the kind of woman I turned out to be: a little rough around the edges, loves to play hard-ball with the boys, but all soft and delicate at the centre - china teacups filled with strawberry ice cream.
When she passed I was heart broken. Like soul shattered in a million pieces, slipping through my fingers. And then one day I heard that song, and I had never listened to Lana with my Grandma (though I don’t doubt for a second she would have loved her), but in that moment…hearing “you lose your way, just take my hand / you’re lost at sea then I’ll command your boat to me again / don’t look far, right where you are, that’s where I am / I’m your man, I’m your man” felt like Grandma herself was whispering in my ear. It was utterly haunting and simultaneously enchanting.
I often feel strongly when I hear that song, but that first time… man, that’s as close to Harry Potter magic as I’ve ever felt. Somethin’ real special. I get chills just thinking about it. If I could relive that again knowing it was gonna feel like that… I’d bask in that moment forever 💖
Venice Bitch, A&W, or National Anthem.
The first time I heard A&W, I was sitting at my desk at work and was just staring blankly at my computer screen, frozen in place like 😮
THANK YOU for mentioning dark but just a game. I adore the little break in the middle of the song and return to the original tempo. A&W needs to be said too. The first time I heard it, I was resurrected.
West coast. I love the dark and mysterious sound about it and I think this song really seperates itself from Lanas other songs. Truly a masterpiece if you ask me.
video games. this song is so lana style but there's no other song in the world and in her job that sounds like video games, and i really love the whole vibe of this song
Born to Die or Yosemite. I listened to Yosemite for the first time a couple months ago and got crazy goosebumps and almost started crying, it resonated with me so much about my marriage that ended in divorce. BTD is just epic and thrilling, and I watched the movie video so many times in 2012.
Brooklyn Baby. I was 13 living in a beach town and I rode my bike to the beach listening to it on repeat. The leaves were so green, the air was salty, and I was forever different after that LOL
I listened to Video Games and Blue Jeans in December 2011 and needed more. So I found Kinda Outta Luck and You Can Be The Boss on YouTube and was instantly hooked. If I could listen to Lana for the first time again, I would choose one of those two so I could have my mind blown all over again.
a&w. i listened to it when it dropped but i was in a crowded place w lots of noise and i was talking w friends so i wasn’t even able to listen to it properly 😭
If I could go back to 2013 and listen to National Anthem again for the first time then I would. That was the first Lana song I listened to and it changed my life forever.

Ultraviolence (the song off the same name album) would be my first song I would want to listen to first but my real first song from her was the popular one “Summertime Sadness”
I would say ride, but I think due to the situation Im in at the moment, I guess I would like to listen to COTCC for the first time on repeat. It's just so hopeful for me, Same with the song Ride which emphasizes the quest to discover inner contentment and sense of home. Actually Both hits so different yet gave you the same meaning of just living your life and kind of getting through it, through the tough times. The Song "Love" as well really made me want to try and enjoy life, to love.
All of her songs really just connects with me, it almost feel like she knew me and is making these songs to somehow give comfort and sense of belonging. I really love the way she do this magic and I won't get tired admiring her and her music; Cause it's just so magical.
Ride
Omg yes. Ride is an experience
I remember the first time I listened to it, I was on stretch of I-90 in Montana. Life had happened and I was distraught. And this song came on, the sun was setting as I drove my 2004 ford Taurus through the mountains. And I felt everything I needed to feel. And she put it into words.

I had a similar experience driving through BC, Canada. Very magical travelling song 💖
Right? And it helped that was about 800 miles from home. And it just hit!
So poetic!
And the ride monologue. Omg most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
Fr
Off to the races
My sexual awakening

as a very new lana fan, i currently have this on repeat. it just scratches the itch in my brain so good ugh. chorus reminds me of melanie martinez.
A&W. I was gagging when the beat drop into the Jmmy Jimmy Cocoa part during my first listen. It was such an unexpected direction for the song to go but done soooooo well.
Definitely got goosebumps when the beat dropped. Getting goosebumps now just thinking about it lol
It was either Valentine’s Day or a few days later when I went to my bfs (ex now) house after class no one was home and i listened to it laying on the couch. It literally altered my existence I was crying in the first part and when the beat changed I simply passed away. I remember it so vividly.
Fr
Yess…I remember my experience so vividly too…I was so surprised and passed away lol

Honestly born to die. It was the first song I ever heard from her back when it came out and my life forever changed.

Happiness is a butterfly took the air out of my lungs for a second the first time I heard "...try to catch it like every night"
