Lana Del Rey Fordham Road (Lyrics Version)

[@videojunkiegirl]

This is pure Lana. I am a huge fan of Lana Del Rey and all the music she is making now, but this is the old school Lizzy Grant that was there from the very beginning. It's so authentic and just makes me smile :) I went to Fordham as well before dropping out after a year to pursue my passion!

[@k.d.5603]

Similar to Pawn Shop Blues- gives those feelings

[@popeyespizza330]

♥️

[@potatogirl1340]

Agree! This is 5 years later and shes releasing her COTCC album, and I don’t like it. I don’t like her working with jack antonoff (NFR) bexause to me it lacks authenticity. To me, Lana’s height and peak authenticity was her simple Lizzy/may jailer days and her earlier lana days when her songs had the beautiful instrumental backings.. I suppose nothing gold can stay. Love her always, though.

Oh to be 17 again, alone in my car and singing "I know I shouldn't do what it is I could" while on my way to do something I should not have been doing... :) this song is so special ❤

[@shahzadi.zafira__]

I love that! I'm 17 now, maybe I should do that as well. This song is amazing and I've been a Lana stan for a few years now.

[@LovelySmile55]

same :') im 25 now and it reminds me of university days

[@sydnie2007]

I’m 16 and her old songs from when she was called lizzy grant remind me of when it was autumn and I was in middle school listening to her songs while walking to school now I do online because highschool rumours got way too bad😭

[@boriszprahy]

I hope u doing good ​@@sydnie2007

[@somebodyfaraway]

im 22 now. started listening to lana back in 2012 when i was 11. this song specifically takes me back to when i was 17 too though. that’s when i discovered it and i’ve loved it since then. i started playing it on my guitar and singing along. reminds me of my boyfriend at the time. makes me very nostalgic. i wish i could go back and re-live a day where i’m 17 and my only worry is waking up for school :) best years of my life, 17 to 19

[@josefinebliss2801]

I always forget this one but it's seriously one of her best songs...

it’s one of my favorites too, especially the part about catching a dollar in the wind :) idk why but i relate to it

She is talking about the statue of Mary in the garden behind her dorm, Queens Court where I also lived. Its on campus

[@ryrythebestt420]

Knowing you have once been where Lana has is definitely a HUGE flex 😭😭

She says "crack house on the corner" not grey house on the corner

[@somebodyfaraway]

wow this comment was made 5 years ago.. i wonder if ur still active

[@n3u3rotica]

Never would I have imagined that anyone (except a rapper) would reference my old neighborhood in their music. It seems Lana wasn't content to remain within the confines of Fordham University when she attended. Then again, by the time she attended Fordham U., the surrounding neighborhood was changing, nowhere near as bad as it had been in the eighties and nineties. Fordham Road itself wasn't that bad (it's lots better now), but the side streets were a nightmare: Valentine (which Lana mentions), Creston, Morris, Walton, Davidson, etc. It's been a long time since I've been around that area, but I heard it's improved greatly. You could probably play this song there without getting beat up.

[@EmBuscaDosSonhos]

Patrick Chappelle do you still live in NYC?

[@FranksWorldTV]

No Pugsley's reference though

[@somebodyfaraway]

Manuela Hows it now?

[@kevinbergin2225]

Try 1976-1980. NYC had just come out of that financial crisis. But, maybe it was always a tough neighborhood. Fordham U. Class of 1980 at your service.

[@jacuzzi3271]

Nah it’s not really any better tbh

[@DukeBX]

I lived in front of Fordham University. It’s in the Bronx. Valentine ave is about 5 to 6 avenues from the school. The metro-north station is located next to the front entrance of the school. It can take you to Connecticut or to Manhattan’s Grand Central Station. She probably took it to go to some gigs in the city. She lived on campus for about a year.

[@piperw4203]

Great I've found another pocket of lana songs. Here we go...

[@oliviavizza8731]

Lana has this unreleased song called Fordham Road. I don’t just love it because I am also a Fordham alumn and lived in her dorm room, but the folksy angle she puts on it is so good. The Stone Mary in the Garden refers to the Mary Status that sits in the courtyard of the dorm building she lived in and could see from her window.

[@bernardoelopes]

The way she just drops some sentences reminds me of the subconsciousness, "loose" mentions she uses in Text Book and Blue Banisters as well. She's so amazing

[@cristianaciupitu4583]

Doesn't matter what I do on internet,everytime I end up here..

[@_.kalico._]

i don't know if you still end up here.. but me too

[@chiaracrestani3649]

This is one of Lana’s best songs in my opinion, especially since it was just written and composed by her. The lyrics are so beautiful and paint a vivid picture and it sounds so haunting. I love it

[@ravenclawsden2103]

This is my Christmas mood. I want to walk away and never come back

[@1ilacHeaven]

Touching in a way I will never understand, but I always get called back to this one

[@1ilacHeaven]

in love to this day, everyone changes but lana will forever carry that special appeal with her

[@zeynepuyank3455]

I think she's talking about drug and alcohol addiction. "what she hears she say" is to go and drink. In one interview she said that she even drinks in the "daytime" and "alone". Also her uncle taught her guitar, and she started writing songs when she was 16 and she was an alcoholic til 18.

[@heyahowareyou5971]

Oha evet

[@kcurran9913]

Wow I never knew this. This makes it even sadder.

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

Definently, she wants to go to the crackhouse to buy some, but she knows she shouldn't and doesn't. She wants to stay clean

[@ChrisAzalea666]

This might be one of my favorite songs simply because I live on Fordham...

[@meganholley8642]

Omg if there was coffee for 90 cents😍

[@deadbird1229]

Great tune. I'm a grad student at Fordham- great school and an interesting road no doubt. The Bronx on the whole isn't as bad as it once was though. I think it's still riding on the reputation it had in the '80s. Statistically it has a lower crime rate than San Francisco, believe it or not. Anyway, love the "I'm not gonna do what I hear me say" line. Fantastic writing on her part.

[@cierraholmes2770]

ALL OF IT was bad? Riverdale too?

[@deadbird1229]

Riverdale is comparatively speaking a very small section of the Bronx, and it has always been the most expensive area in the borough as far as I know-it probably wasn't affected by the "burning" Bronx so much. I wasn't alive then so I can't say for sure. Most people consider Riverdale to be separate from the Bronx, though it's technically part of it. It's very residential and upscale-super nice colonial homes with huge green lawns and riverfront views-very unlike the urban majority of the borough.

[@misandryshih8398]

Loved this song in highschool

[@ofthvg]

Fordham is a name of the University where she had studied. But Fordham Road is a metro station in NYC. I think she has a lot of memories connected with her young years, students life and her really hard past. I can just picture her standing on metro station. She's waiting, holding cheap coffee in her hand and thinking about everything she has done. She's wearing a bit too big sweater (it's light orange sweater) and jeans. I love that picture. I can make a video now. (Sorry for my English, but it's not my native language. I know it only from school.)
