4 songs with ronni, 2 songs ariel... saur excited

brad pitt and goosebumps are out on spotify nz

For me, IYLDWM is Lana’s sexiest and most sensual song. That she doesn’t overdo it makes it perfect. 

I just need her to sing these damn songs LIVE with just her voice. Like Premiere style 

I just love the way she adlibs and changes her song and adds different vocals FUCK I wish she would do something like what Lorde did during melodrama and released the videos of her performing some of the songs
 
imagine like we’re back in her backyard and it’s like yellow lights strung up with flowers everywhere. She’s wearing a flowing dress and with her band she singsssss
 
FUCK I need more from this era before we move on

she aint getting dat #1 

someone on my insta fanpage just commented asking what happened to lana and why she quit the industry (?) and i just told them about blue banisters and they didn’t even know 

There's a nice explanation on genius.com
From this perspective, the song is even sadder.

guys! Dealer almost reach 5M streams
Keep streaming 

THE ONLY THING THAT STILL FITS ME IS THIS BLACK BATHING SUIT 
 

Tbh Fantano was right when he said the album sounds like a first draft. But unlike him that's what i LOVE about it! She's so sick I adore her
 
ALSO he said a lot of it sounds like she did it in one take when on her life she said she did everything in one take. lol. like he's criticizing her when that's literally her exact artistic choice. dummy

Listening to the album straight through again, and she NAILED the tracklist this time. It really takes you on a journey, reading your comments is helping me make sense of it. 
 
Text Book is such a mysterious opener that morphs its complexity into something beautiful and emotional (even if still extremely layered). Blue Banister sends you down the rabbit hole, an almost stream-of-consciousness flood of emotion. Arcadia is almost a taunt, in my opinion, or a quiet defense. It's playful, sweet, and cleverly masking its underlying anger. The Trio makes you think "What the fuck?", but it totally makes sense when you consider the chaotic energy of Lana flipping the bird at us in the video as Arcadia ends. It's a warning to the listener of what's to come... Which comes in the form of Black Bathing Suit and onward.

The midsection is just pure catharsis - she wants to be loved even if it's all a lie, her pain is beautiful, everything you love she hates, she knows you won't give her one shirt off your back, but it's cool, because she also knows the real you -- what you're really like when the party ends.
 
... And on I could go. But ya know. It's a ride.
 
(I loved the posts analyzing the run from tracks 11-15. Wildflower Wildfire about who she aims to be as a lover to avoid being like her mother, Nectar of the Gods being a battle of the self, Living Legend, Cherry Blossom, and Sweet Carolina covering various forms of motherhood - adopted, self-soothing/parenting, her sister/post-partum depression... )
 
It's layers to this shit...  
 

Okay, so here are my thoughts on Black Bathing Suit and a bit on Wildflower Wildfire:
 
Black Bathing Suit is a journey through Lana's feelings during spring-summer 2020, and maybe even earlier in the year. It's clear that certain lyrics are in relation to things like the public response to QFTC, the absolutely vile comments people were making about Lana online, and what I think is the most interesting aspect of it all: the backlash Lana got on Mothers Day in 2020 for not posting about her mother, but rather making a post about why it can be a hard day for her and others (that whole situation pissed me off, but we don't have time to unpack all of that). I never knew if Lana had seen the hate from that post since she never addressed it, but it's clear to me through this album that she did. She literally says in the second verse of WW "You say there's gaps to fill in, so here, here's the deal..." and then the lyric about her mother. It was like her saying "you really want to know what I've been through? here you go". It's something that's so heartbreaking to listen to, but I think that for Lana, it felt important to say. 
 
So more on BBS. Another lyric I want to highlight is the "your interest really made stacks out of it for me, so thanks for that", which I think is kind of sarcastic. Obviously NFR did fantastic in terms of sales and reception, so she's saying that the public's interest in the album really "made stacks" out of that album, but then we get the flippant "thanks for that" that we also get in Arcadia. It's not a genuine thank you. It's Lana being frustrated that despite people loving that album, they went right back to hating her just months after (I'm not getting into QFTC right now, I'm more so talking about the body shaming and general bullying that went on). And I think that the "you don't know me any better than they do" lyric is super interesting as well. There were a lot of assumptions being made about Lana around that time, so it's her saying "you don't know me any better than the rest of the public does, so don't act like you do". The whole song exudes this perfect mix of anger, vulnerability, confidence and a hint of sarcasm. She gives you that not only through her lyrics, but through her production and vocal delivery on the song. It's so smart and so creative. 

You floored me with that one. You have such an eloquent and intelligent way to see the world and it shows 

I hope the other songs are good, the titles look nice?

BlackoutZone confirmed the tracklist (almost exactly what we knew) but sadly, he thinks the album is coming out next year, although I guess that was kinda bound to happen since it’s already the end of October lol.

"And God, does it sound sweet,
  like it's playing just for me"

Guys. We really do need to organise a streaming party. Is there any way to ask other fandoms to participate?
Dealer & IYLDWM are having their moments. Let's do something for them!!!  If we play the cards right, Blue Banisters might secure its #1 spot on Billboard 200 next week.
