The Siren

yeah and i seriously think you need to get a life hobby, but hey, we can’t have everything <\3 !

Soonish 

she seriously DOES NOT owe us anything, she is not in anyway responsible for her fans and how they feel about her, and she certainly is not responsible for their mental/emotional health, is it frustrating that we deal with false dates and confusing album roll-outs, but nothing's stopping you or anybody else from focusing on other musicians or just straight-up unstanning, it's really hard to say that you're being disrespected by her when you don't even know what's going on behind the scenes and you don't even know her, if her vague & confusing album roll-outs are that impactful on your life, that's your own personal issue, she doesn't do anything with the expectation that it'll keep her fans' mental health in a good spot, that's not her responsibility, it's not healthy to have a relationship with your favorite artist like this, when you don't know her and you don't know what she's even thinking or feeling, or what's really going on in her life, her niece was just born and we have no clue how hard she's working on this album, she could be writing & recording for hours every single day and we wouldn't know that for sure

The way that you became the only sane person in here ❤

then u get to oklahoma and realise she is still as charismatic as she used to be, still standing apart from all the rest, shining from both her words and beauty, and all u can mumble is: h-h-h-iiii l-lana!

 
 

the thing is she doesn’t owe us anything. she’s
not responsible for your obsessive behavior while you’re just saying that her silence is lowkey emotional abuse. she released an album and three songs months ago and if you don’t want to listen to it because they’re ballads and folk (and not to mention good ballads and folk songs) then that’s your problem. everyone here but you has moved on so pls get off your high horse

Well, we and a big portion of people here are more than average fans so a lot of people here love anything she puts out. Unfortunately, the majority of fans and casual listeners don't think the same. She is very popular here and from my observation, she is losing interest from her average fans and it's pretty sad but very real. Her listeners are often into alt and rock music so her switching to folk and purely piano ballads will push them away. Video games was fresh in that era but I feel like she became globally famous when the title track and SS were released. 
 
 
I know how BTD was made lol. They tried to push her like an outcast with the popular kids. I remember the cringe I felt when I found an old 2011 CD of pop hits where Video Games was between LMFAO and Flo Rida like . Who tf think it was a good idea to sneak an alt ballad with club hits?

All of her singles were bops! I am in love with Lost Cause, NDA, My Future, especially Therefore I am.
If she would have released the fan favorites like HTE, track 3, 5 or 8 everyone would have said, ok that‘s it, we already got the highlights? Not easy to be a musician I guess. ?

Nope! You still have a month. ^^

Am I the only one that love the singles more than the rest of the album?? Happier Than Ever (song) is her best song she ever recorded tho. ?

It's really not the worst thing that has been said about Lana on this forum trust me  What I said was very mild and it was sincere, I've been making Lana stuff since 2015 so I needed some time off. But I'm glad to be back on the train and to apply the new skills I've learned. Don't expect much, I'm just making title cards for fun haha

Oh THAT video, I thought you meant an official video!  (I had forgotten about this one tho so thanks for the reminder )

0:33 seconds in 
 

I bet she’s seen weirder things, but imagine when she finds out my account is named after her wild ass pinky moment in the Stargirl video 

I could write a dissertation on how much her music means to me. 400 characters will do! 
 
I love the idea and I'm glad to get involved! 

love this idea - I hope Lana does something for the anniversary too 

I absolutely adore this idea Clampi
 
Hoping for an official release of tracks that almost made the cut for BTD on its anniversary!!! I’m very excited for this project… gotta start my little rough draft of what I’d like to say to Lana.

oh, no… not a fan made book.

Pay me ten bucks

That sounds like a great idea!   i can’t believe that almost 10 years have passed 

NOTE: This project is no longer a thing, sorry everyone.

Hello, everyone!
As we all know, Lana's big debut with Born To Die happened almost 10 years ago (and if you didn't know, now you do!), in fact, it will the album's 10th anniversary in Januray 2022! I know most of us are hoping for a big celebration, preferably with a new release of the album including some goodies for us fans to spend all our coins on. But what can we do for Lana, except for happily giving her our money? I present to you, the...
Born To Die - 10th Anniversary Project
What is this, you ask? Well, I've had this idea for a very long time, so let me share it with you all!
LanaBoards.com is home to some of Lana's most dedicated fans, and I want to create a fan book together with you! This felt like a great opportunity to celebrate an album that means a lot to us, and sure to Lana as well. Some of us were there before the release, some of us became fans sometime later, but there's no denying that Born To Die is a very special album. This fan book project will be your chance to leave a message for Lana to read, and share your art to be printed in a book that will be given to Lana. I hope. I'll try my best to make contact with her team so the book can be in her hands. This is something I can't do alone as, well, a book with only a message from myself would look more like a pamphlet. I need you guys to join in the fun! If you think this sounds exciting, keep reading for more details below!
Who's behind this project?
I (Clampigirl) will be in charge of this project. I will pay for the book to be printed and for the shipping. I will spend my own time creating this book, but I'll study 150% this upcoming semester (100% meaning a normal schedule, 150% meaning taking an extra class on the side) so I will be busy with school at the same time. But I will try my very hardest to complete this fan book before BTD's anniversary. I want to do it because I think it'll be a fun project for the community to join, because I want to challenge myself and learn how to create a book for printing, and because I'm certain Lana would love to read everyone's messages.
I will do my best to keep this thread updated every now and then so you know where I am in the process.
What will the book include?
As I'm picturing it right now, the book will include messages from us here at LanaBoards. A section of the book will be dedicated to fanart. If you want to, you can share a selfie to go with your message.
Tell me more about the messages?
If you are a standard user, you may write a message of 400 characters.
If you are a supporters user or a moderator, you may write a message of 800 characters.
Elle, as the hardworking admin and owner of this site, will get the opportunity to write a longer message.
As briefly mentioned above, you can also submit any fanart or selfies with your message!
To share your message, you'll need to fill in a form. In the form, please fill in:
Your username: This is to make sure that you’re a user on LanaBoards, and that no one tries to impersonate you. Your name: This is optional. This is for Lana to get a closer connection to you than just reading a username. Where you live: This is also optional. I promise you that I don’t care where you live, and that I will never try to track you down - I have more important things to spend my time on. Once again, this is for Lana to know where her fans are located. Your message: Normal users are limited to 400 characters. This is so everyone will have a chance to be in the book. BE NICE. Do not criticize her! Do not tell her if you dislike a song and that it shouldn’t have been on the album, or that you dislike something she’s done or said. Write something nice and kind to her, perhaps what her music means to you. A selfie: This is also optional, and will be next to your message in the book. Please refrain explicit selfies, you know, make sure it's family friendly and not offensive to anyone. Your fanart: If you have anything you want to share, leave a link to it here. A separate section of the book will be dedicated to fanart. If you have fanart in video or audio form, please refrain from leaving a link as it will be difficult to print in a book. All fanart might not be included in the book! This depends on how many users upload a file. Make sure you take a good, high quality picture if your art isn’t digital (like a pencil drawing, or a tattoo) to raise your chances of getting included. A small note will be left with your art, to inform Lana who made it.
Great! What do I do now?
If you're a standard user: please click here to fill in the form!
If you're a supporters user or a moderator: please DM me to get access to the link!
THE DEADLINE FOR FILLING IN THE FORM/SHARE YOUR MESSAGES IS SEPTEMBER 12TH 2021!
 
I hope you'll join the fan book project!

You're very right to ask, my premade answer was that it's my day to day job (I'm a type and graphic designer), so I want people to know I can do "serious" stuff and not just fanart, but actually it's all I truly love to do and I wouldn't mind being paid for it for the rest of my life. So idk why I said that. And the proof is that I'm still doing fanart
 
I'm working on something fun rn for example, more to come

We've been duped. We're not getting this album ?

Ffs this woman can write. Absolute masterpiece
