I know we must respect her process and artistic choices but I’ll riot if Thunder is turned into a piano ballad. That’s where I draw the line.

I don't know why some of you find weird that she namedrops people in BB. She's been doing that her whole career (The Jims, The Ks, the Johns... even Chuck in Motel 6) it's just that this time we actually know who she's talking about but it's not for the sake of authenticity it's her way of writing.

because summer is now

Stoned at the Nail Salon dropping this or next week, length appeared on iTunes

summer is the prime time for a lana del rey album and that is objective. you think i wanna listen to songs about mid-july n summer heat in the dead of december??? no.

we haven't had a summer record since lust for life why is she wasting valuable summer time

You forgot the "it's a sell out record" but also "inspired by True Romance"

I'm manifesting an autumn album Give me October, season of the witch, orange and brown leaves energy

Don't be shy Elizabeth drop Sierra Madre

"Better to find out SOONISH than LATER LATER..."

it's mad to think we're almost in september again! it feels like yesterday we were wishing for a halloween album, that is actually crazy... this whole year has flew by

I make weird associations

She broke up with Barrie like a month before UV, Franny 2 months after HM, Chase like a few days after NFR... BB is coming

I hope there’s good songs for being fucked to on this album. It’s been a while frankly. We need some slutty bops

I agree. She's painting a picture, using actual events from her life here, an idea there, a sudden inspiration or feeling here again. She's writing impressionistic stories or prose poems and placing them to music. It's a mistake to take any song or lyric literally. Whether it's 'Text Book,' 'Wildflower,' 'Old Money,' 'Honeymoon' or 'Cola,' we--the audience, the listener--get the idea and set of emotions she's conveying. She's not a more literal storyteller like Bobbie Gentry with 'Ode To Billie Joe.'

if this causes lana to redo the whole tracklist he will be dealt with. NOT ON MY clayWATCH!

SUMMER ALBUM SUMMER ALBUM SUMMER ALBUM SUMMER ALBUM

I've already fully memorised the lyrics to the singles, but I really don't want to overplay them. Lana, please release another single soonish (or the entire album)

I’m hopping on this to say that I’m kind of frustrated with her lately for this exact reason. She seems to be trying to prove herself by making the most authentic music? There’s so many name drops and her music is full of pointless anecdotes or just like “Jenny’s in the pool”. Like, to the point where if she’s scrapping songs because it’s no longer authentic to her current life, it’s getting out of hand. I can’t say if that’s the reason for the scraps but honestly with the “let me write my own story” or whatever she said, I’m not the biggest fan. Love her and her music is great no matter what but I think she needs to stop worrying what people think about her music bc it’s kind of saturating it

I mean okay but the discussion that's occurring stems from the tweets he himself put out into the public sphere, rather than people making up "narratives". He: 1. Tweeted "What's up @BachelorABC" (which is an obvious hint that he's single and wanted everyone to know) 2. Tweeted "Better to know sooner than later" and 3. Liked a tweet about her cheating While I agree that he shouldn't be harassed, he brought the attention upon himself. Nobody would be saying a word if he hadn't said anything. He should've kept it private instead of hinting that she did something wrong to cause the demise of their relationship, and he knew very well what he was doing with those tweets. IMO it's an extremely immature way to handle a break up. Writing about a break up in a song in a cathartic or recollective manner is not the same as sending out a handful of passive-aggressive tweets that draw attention to the situation and cause people to ask questions. ETA: Also he's the one who said awhile ago that it was private and none of anyone else's business (which it isn't) and berated fans for asking questions, etc. Like okay, Mr Privacy - you sure want us know about it now it's over

as complex as matters of the heart are. I hope things are sorted off well properly n respectfully. imma stay out of that but as a fan, I hope that this doesn't affect the record or that it's already past that stage. keep it classy folks.

IS THIS WHY SHE REWORKED THE ALBUMMMMM BITCHHHHHH

electric guitar manifestation of the day bye

She’s literally never not delivered excellent pop music so I don’t know why some of you are worried.. I’m here for a concept album. The pop star selling her soul idea sounds really promising & something she could very easily deliver.

Body Is A Map Of LA - Chest Sierra Madre - Hips Every High Byway That You - Toyota. hope is... found dead

Manifesting cathartic angsty loudness Maybe even Dealer, perhaps

I love blue banisters but im not a fan of the key change in the verses, the chorus' are far superior, i wish she kept that melody for the whole song

i feel like its gonna be either an absolute serve or a massive mess, no in-between

so xcx5 is evil...but also made of writer's demos...but also pop...but also janet jackson inspired...but also dark...okay girl

maybe mike is the reason for the breakup?

Revenge album with electric guitar incoming yassss

I hate getting random YouTube notifications for clickbait-videos some idiot gay uploaded that features the Blue Banisters album cover ... I blame both the YT algorithm for recommending this bs and Lana for creating a situation, in which I could totally see her ranomly ropping new music without a word.

Maybe this isn’t a shared sentiment among all fans, but Lana singing, “I ended up awkward but sweet,” is one of the most heartbreaking lines she’s written (for me, at least). I’ve been trying to think of why it shocked me, and I think it’s something to do with this: There’s nothing particularly nuanced or lyrically fascinating about that specific line, but I think it marks a huge shift in how Lana is choosing to reveal herself. At least in that particular excerpt of the song, there’s no grandiose or cinematic presentation when she sings that lyric—just a frank, jarring confession of vulnerability. The recent singles almost feel like really gorgeous diary entries, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she delves even deeper in order to set her story straight

HA. Like Gods & Monsters or Freak. I grew up on hip-hop and I live in The Mission. So I feel that. I need my Latina Lana back.

Once we get the album we'd be able to tell if the album scrapping was because of the break up or not - we know that the three singles we got mention Clay in some capacity (and that this album was about recent events according to her) so yeah and the fact that she added Thunder to this album... Since she claims she's telling her story on this album it's gonna be interesting how she's gonna flip the whole thing about Clay but whatever we'll see

XCX world

She's gonna talk to us now. Chuck is busy with baby, Charlie's in a dumpster somewhere, and Jenny is up stairs stealing her jewels. We're all she's got. SINGLE INCOMING

Summer Bummer is underrated.

literally everyone

Wait till she sees Track 11: Never had a problem talking with you - but when you wanna dance my heart goes boom like that, boom like that, boom like that (feat. Florence + The Machine, Marina and the Diamonds, Lorde, Dominikkki Lane & Jessica Lange)

What a rollercoaster relationship that would be

As a fan, I obviously want the best for Lana across all spectrums of her life and that includes her relationships. But I obviously don’t know her personally and I definitely do not know any of the men she has been with, so I think creating narratives about potential statuses of the relationship is something fans should avoid - I’m referring to comments I’ve seen on Instagram and Twitter, where fans have been making claims of unfaithfulness on either end and other intrusive things that are inappropriate and ultimately lead to a bandwagon of hate for one person :/ Regardless of what happened, I’m sure as a fanbase, we’re all collectively sending Lana our best! <3

This. I find it sooo weird that some people (on here, on twitter, on internet in general) just start hating on a person in Lana’s social circle because they a) get a bad vibe from them or b) just don’t want a kind of music they think they’ll get from Lana’s interaction with them. Or, c) hoping that they’ll break up so we’ll get another “ultraviolence”. We really don’t know much, if anything. It’s just so, so weird to me how some people can be so strongly opinionated about someone they don’t really know. Lana’s an adult, I’m pretty sure she can make her own decisions who’s good for her to be with and who isn’t. If her friends make her happy, we should be happy too. I would never wish for her to go back to being depressed again, never. I’m here to listen to whatever she writes, and I might not always love every single thing, but I’m here as long as it’s good and as long as I’m interested. Sorry for going off topic, I guess.

Maybe this is why she scrapped half the album

https://we.tl/t-FfK5UetW5d happy drop day

if played well the concept of the “pop star who sold her soul to the label” could be amazing. maybe the visuals, the story will be dark/evil while the music could just be pop bc thats what the label would want to release and this could also explain why she’s releasing songs she didn’t write.

You roll like thunder - and it all comes down to make the sound of our...

I think it's like the overabundant and too-obvious classic rock references, it just seems that lately she's been name dropping too much and it loses any effectiveness as a result. However, they're her songs and I stand by her right to write whatever she pleases. I wish she'd really let go and write more distinctive songs like 'Live or Die,' 'Cola,' 'Gods & Monsters,' etc. But that doesn't seem to be where she's at right now.
