    Darf man für das größte Gefühl kraftvoll dazustoßen? Möchte gerne einschlafen und nie mehr aufwachen, sich in Wirklichkeit auflösen, bedeutet weniger Wind.

    Her voice in this so soft and magical, she’s really a goddess, it makes me so emotional while listening in to this.

    Quite boring and extremely pretentious poetry. I commend her prose and versatility but i guess if you're not a diehard fan these audios will seem self important and faux deep.

    the imagery she portraits is amazing, i love reading the book but listening to every poem on her voice really makes it a complete experience.

    Beautiful piece of work. Lana's poetry is just as her music, at the same time it's very poetic, elegant, clean, but still so mysterious and melancholic. I think that with this one she , once again, proved that she's is one of, maybe the best songwriter of our time. And she truly is one of the best artists ever.

    Lana Del Rey alguna vez dijo que siempre había querido ser una poeta hermosa, bien, pues está en la cúspide de su carrera y aunque siempre ha sido una poeta hermosa con este trabajo simplemente lo materializó

    With this collection of poems, Lana Del Rey offers an alternate view of the sun-dazzled California dreaming that fuels her songs. Her spoken word pieces reveal a more immediate lyrical sophistication, but they maintain the strange and powerful magic Del Rey has been cultivating her entire career.

    Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is one of the most fully formed albums she has put out. Yes, some of the rhymes are clunky and a tad juvenile, but there is a sort of elegance to them. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the album I’ve always wanted Del Rey to make. It’s brave, in a naïve way, and filled with some of glorious subtle backing tracks.

    While at times ‘Violet…’ shows Lana’s fine lyrical prowess, quotes primed for Tumblr captions, most of the time it’s more sixth former trying their best to impress at their first slam poetry event.
