people see some pastel colors and assume it's a baby aesthetic lmao she's basically a stripper in the bakery music video

y'all keep acting as if your hearts wouldn't lodge in your throats and prevent you from speaking coherently in her presence

my copy arrived today! it's beautiful. i think it was such a lovely idea to include the reader to write their own poetry at the end there as well, i think i may write a few things when the time is right. it just makes the book that much more personal, to have your own thoughts upon the same pages as the author. i will cherish this book forever. <3

Honestly, if I met Lana I wouldn't ask for the release date either

About an hour ago, Lana Del Rey stopped to chat with fans at Toast Bakery Cafe in Los Angeles, California.

That’s either chaotic good or neutral evil

never was there ever a stan who asked about the album

Visions coming every night, you can call me so crazy following that light...

Lana: Hi, you're my favorite user on Lanaboards Me: Thank you

lana: hi how are you? me: merry christmas

She just posted another picture with the blonde wig, that's the third one in a row

'Sad Girl' will forever be one of her most underrated songs. This song has so much bravado and I live for its bluesy atmosphere. I've said it on another thread on here before, but had it not been for 'Pretty When You Cry', I think that this moment would've been the album's climax. Most definitely her most intense bridge!

My copy has just arrived. Damn, it's so aesthetically pleasing. The pages, the cover. It's all so nice

When I met Lana, after a concert, I was with my gf and she was the one who spoke my name when Lana asked, because I went on the moon and came back.

yes please!! test me vibes for mm3!!

two gays being useless as ever... ask about cocc ffs

suddenly craving If I Cried… let’s pick up on that HIFN Deluxe idea again

Ok girl but you still haven't explained what's so ''childish'' and ''baby-themed'' about this EP

I really hope she finds a new producer. I’ve always liked her and LOVED Crybaby but her music has lost its color. Her vocals are great and I don’t even mind the repetitive themes, I just can’t get into these bland instrumentals she’s been serving since K-12

i’m excited for her next project i’m hoping MM3 will drift away from the baby/child themes and go more into this angel/astrology concept people have been speculating about

2hot, breathe out, if i cried, i hate all this gravity...

The only thing related to that on this EP is the title and the cover artwork. The song's themselves, lyrically, are very mature and personal to Melanie. It's also very disrespectful of you to tell an artist they should stop doing something that inspires them and makes them happy all for your liking. I understand if you don't like it, that your opinion and that's okay, but Melanie can do as she wants. This is who she is and the art and music she wants to make. If you can't accept that then please find someone else's music to complain about because it's obvious Melanie isn't worth your time. Much love x.

But I still don't get how this EP is children or baby themed. Like aside from 2 school themed song titles and the EP title I guess, the EP is grown up and mature in lyrics and production. She said herself that the songs are about Melanie herself instead of the Cry Baby character.

high by the beach. i know it’s like the most streamed song off honeymoon but it’s such an underrated single by her and i feel like a lot of people dislike it :/ ... that song was the ultimate turning point in lana’s sound and image, up until that point in her career she played the role of the submissive good girl tainted by bad boys and that’s all the gp saw her as but for the first time we see her assert herself in a new light of not needing a man or his money. “you can be a bad motherfucker but that don’t make you a man” is one of her strongest lines ever. the song also has so many little details that make it phenomenal like the reuse of old lyrics and completely switching the meaning of them, the haunting organ and sound of waves in the background.. chilling.

tbh she’s one of the more successful alt pop artists idk about her streaming numbers but her music videos and official audios get great views

cause streaming gives you money and you need money to make the visuals.....anyway

I broke my lana fast for this song and I’m glad I did. I feel it’s totally underrated in her catalogue. Perhaps THE most cinematic song she’s produced. It’s so hypnotic. The vocal performance, my GOD. we are not gonna pretend this isn’t one of her most iconic performances it’s so honeymoon ultraviolence fusion its so perfect:

I went to two of her concerts and in one I was lucky enough to take a picture with her and she signed my vinyl Ultraviolence. And when she approached me, I even unlearned how to speak. So, I think I understand people who don't ask questions when they find her. She's even more beautiful up close.

dont make a fool of yourself, it's not a cute look.

I struggle to see how the EP is baby themed?

I received my copy of book this afternoon and just finished reading it a few hours ago. I found it as interesting as her music, quite sentimental and genuine. Some poems (and especially the haikus) gave me a feeling of sadness and loneliness. A slight tightening in the chest. And when a book evokes feelings it's because the author caught you. Lana got me! The guy who likes suspense and horror books reading poetry lol Looking forward to the second book.

I remember when I got M&G tickets to the artRAVE in 2014, and I got to have my 20-30 seconds with Gaga - and I think the only thing I managed to say was, "I love you so much, can I have a hug?" (because she went in for a fist bump at first ) And, "thank you, they're from the costume shop" when she complimented my fishnets. This was right as I was beginning to unstan Gaga and just live my life as a reycist, too, so I couldn't even imagine what meeting Lana would be like for me. I'd have a complete mental breakdown.

the way these gays won she looks sooo good in their selfie and it doesn’t look awkward but like a cute photo with friends

Lana: are you okay, you seem super nervous about seeing me?! Me: *throwing up* why do you say that?

Never was there ever a girl so pretty

The title track of Honeymoon! I feel like people don’t really talk about it that much nowadays and when it came out I remember people dismissed it as “boring” because it was “slow” and “sparse” but I think it’s a song where her vocals shine and her extra-layered harmonies in the chorus paired with the sweeping strings and plucked guitar chords are so atmospheric! Musical heaven and masterful lyricism at its finest. I think it’s definitely one of her top 5 best songs of all time and that whole record is a career highlight!

I definitely agree that the production is still not very exciting, but the lyrics and vocal delivery are totally there so I have hope. The production might even be less interesting than K-12 but I wasn't expecting a full return so I guess I'm okay with it. Anyway I've forgiven the long wait from album 1 to 2

I feel like this is the longest time she’s ever made us wait for a new release... Malibu never really did it for me anyway so it feels like it’s been YEARS.

Well you shouldn't be judging an EP if you haven't even listened to it yet

a girl has arthritis

Violet is everything I hoped it would be and more. I love love love this book and everything about it is perfect. I can’t wait for the next one.

i hope it's vol 3. it makes sense to do a trilogy. leaving it at 2 seems incomplete

I wish! I just hope that volume 2 wasn't the last volume and if it was, perhaps she'll make a new Halloween EP or something. Girlie gotta give us something!

Thinking about how After School is excellently produced

this tbh ive also met lana a few times but each time i talked to her i was so starstruck and unable to say anything i had prepared to ask her, and all thats usually coming out is "i love you, the show is great" or smth like that

I think she mentioned once during the LFL era that she thought of removing her tattoos.

that’s surprising. There’s a video of her speaking to fans. One says they’ll get her autograph done, she says something like ‘no don’t! I hate mine’

Just got my violet hardcover copy from the book store and I'm in love!!! I'm so keen for Behind the iron gates - Inside an Institution, I feel like itll be a more raw poetry book and more personal!
