Good morning! The good, the bad and the truth!
 
When I first saw her talking stripped bare of the Lana essentials of hair and makeup, I got nervous that we may see a bizarre irrational rant like someone with some mental illness in the middle of an episode. Or at the very least that she might sound medicated, not high or on drugs but medicated. After watching the whole thing I don't think either was the case. That's good.
 
Unfortunately the rant is a bit scattered and and I don't know if the world has been calling Lana to task on these things (pre initial meltdown) especially lately. So odd at this point that stripper girl, bad girl, broken girl, runaway girl, younger woman etc. thing is still so important to her. The kaleidoscope of what it is to be human and specifically a woman is so much larger than these themes she is obsessed with. "The difference is when I get on the pole people call me a whore, but when Twigs gets on the pole it’s art." Is this actually a concern at this point?? The point may be valid but Lana gets a ton of respect in the world and for those that don't give her respect fuck off. This is the bad.
 
The truth is it really is like the Wizard of Oz. It's all right here in front of her and she can't see it. Millions of people genuinely love her work, buy her albums and pay to see her in concert. Why are the opinions of some alt singers or critics more important than ours!! Let us love you.
 
I have a top secret connection that told me this in confidence. When told her next album was to be called "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" the record company, management, everyone all breathed a sigh of relief. Then Lana showed them a basic mock up for the cover with the title.

When they intervene and take her phone
 
Lana:
 

I play golf and some courses have young woman riding around with a food cart and they are always gorgeous! I always tip them.

as you should! that’s so sweet. (:

Hopefully some media outlet doesn't misconstrue and has a headline, "Lana Del Rey shares poem from behind the iron gates of an institution".

omg imagine lana on the cover on a golf cart, dressed as a cart girl, and chem trails above in the sky.

I hope there is only one release from the album before it drops. If I'm not mistaken there were 4 from NFR and to me that kind of dilutes the impact of the release of the final product.

If you click on TBA by her name on Sept 5th it just links to the story a few days ago. Their source is Lana not the record company.

I thought oh we're going to make all the way through smoothly, and then boom.

Twigs is trending on Twitter because of what Lana said. Here we go again.................

Imagining Lanz coming into this thread and telling us all to go fuck ourselves

I don't see THAT many hate comments on insta. More people sending her love than hate. Thank God.

oh this album title calls for THESE visuals

New art video for the poem -

As a soft/delicate woman I always felt glad someone like Lana made it big. What she says is so relatable. It always seemed like there is only space for loud or outspoken people. If you aren't like that, you are perceived as weak and, especially as a woman, it is your duty to show that you are "strong" and impose yourself. This reminds me of what Susan Cain said in her TED Talk titled "The power of introverts".

I agree. I felt like when NFR dropped there was hardly any songs I hadn’t heard at least part of. She released 4 songs and then posted snippets for like almost every other song on the album. I kind of like this surprise drop idea.
