CALIFORNIA DRIVE

thats arthur lynns blog, he was a guitar player in the phenomena, a band where lana singed for a brief time

idk Im just still waiting for Lana to make upbeat songs again 

didnt lana used that name because of arthur? https://angiescreams.wordpress.com/2009/01/12/lana-and-ray/ 

I feel like it has to do w the fact that she had dreams and she was living her life to the fullest, whats she gonna sing about when she has everything now?......... about flacid dick g eazys white mustang? sighs

idk Im just still waiting for Lana to make upbeat songs again

I could see sounds like Hollywood coming back
 
Butterflies Pt. 2, Go Go Dancer, Off to the Races, Serial Killer, Resistance and sounds like that are probably never coming back

This sounds amazing! 
 
Tbh I would be here for Lana going full pop, lets be honest its not like it would be exactly like other pop on the radio now, it would still be in Lana's style.
 
Cherry with this production sounds so good, this is a good example!

where's the new ep, I'm bored

Lana's feet after the Honeymoon video

I figured the Mountain Dew was about that guy (can't remember his name) with longer hair on his myspace? Iirc he had a direct image of Diet Mountain Dew & even a picture of fetuses and how he wanted to name them Lana and Ray, which was also the man that potentially inspired Wayamaya?
 
Also Afraid is a song (to me) about escaping physical abuse, could she have 'extremified' the type of abuse and written along the same scenario you think? Like she had to leave because of his relapse and she was possibly afraid of his potential abuse or how much he'd wither? 
 
Lucky Ones too? holy shit
 
 
 
This isn't related to the quotes but I'm both amazed, terrified, and heartbroken reading all of this. Not because it's such a death ridden life but because it's so interesting reading all of this down to the specific wire. Even in it's early days literally nothing is ever NOT found on the internet, think about celebrities living similar lives to Lana's ten years ago but right now, everything they'll ever fucking do will be even more findable than these- and all these examples are from an internet era in which everything was harder to use. 
 
It's also insane just seeing how much we know about one persons life- we have threads about her as Lizzy even fucking babysitting in photos, a thread about finding her boyfriend that supposedly murdered people and was sent for a death pentalty (the fact people have even found his NAME is scary.)- stuff so secret and private and yet here we are, hundreds of fans she doesn't know finding out everything about her- even information she herself probably had forgotten. It's also such a goddamn telling tale and fantasy, her life before fame is literally a plotline that would've been written as a book years ago and would've become a tragic literary american classic, I hope when she's older she can remember all of these things and produce a fully transparent auto biography, because her life is SUCH a work of art.
 
Every little reference just makes her entire discography that much richer and more telling, the simplest titles inspired some of her best work, i love her so, so much- she's the only person that deserves the entire world in my opinion 

tbh lana's life between 18-27 is more interesting that mine between 0-death

I uploaded the video i took. Not the best but it’s something

He's a bartender, I'm the star
I play on my fender guitar
Under those blue lights
He catches my eye
Mister Bartender take me for a ride in your car
Take me back to the trailer park (in the dark)
 
Yes, I want Lizzy Grant back, sue me.
