LordDisick 1 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 "I wish I was dead already," Lana Del Rey says, catching me off guard. She has been talking about the heroes she and her boyfriend share – Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain among them – when I point out that what links them is death and ask if she sees an early death as glamorous. "I don't know. Ummm, yeah." And then the death wish. Don't say that, I say instinctively. "But I do." You don't! "I do! I don't want to have to keep doing this. But I am." Do what? Make music? "Everything. That's just how I feel. If it wasn't that way, then I wouldn't say it. I would be scared if I knew [death] was coming, but …" [...] it takes me by surprise when Del Rey begins to tell me how unhappy she is: that she doesn't enjoy being a pop star, that she feels constantly targeted by critics, that she doesn't want to be alive at all. "Family members will come on the road with me and say: 'Wow, your life is just like a movie!'" she says at one point. "And I'm like: 'Yeah, a really ****ed-up movie.'" [...] I ask how long she got to enjoy the success of Video Games before the backlash arrived and she looks surprised. "I never felt any of the enjoyment," she says. "It was all bad, all of it." [...] I think about her live shows, such as the outdoor one she's due to play later that night, during which she'll respond to the constant screams – her fans are too busy taking photos to applaud – by letting her band jam away for 20 minutes while she wanders the photo pit, posing for selfies with fans in the front row. Surely during those moments she must love what she does. "No," she says. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2014/jun/12/lana-del-rey-ultraviolence-album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azor Ahai 18,861 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I really miss the times when most pop stars where like " I love the fans I love the music and the fans! And I love the fans! " Much more simple back then . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji 20,113 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 It's part of her stage character, the glamorization of the dark side of our world. Do you think Gaga after s-x with Taylor says that was "reverse warholian"? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
