By all means she has never met the queen of the gas station

About Young and Beautiful, does anybody remember this tweet? Seems to me that she never really stopped thinking of this moment, when she's gonna be looking back at her life right before she gets to heaven. The theories about Y&B instantly reminded me of it.

Stunning cover and amazing work. The last picture made me think of her as a real queen, so graceful and elegant!

She has got to be kidding me, she looks so nice

I'm Bored - Iggy Pop

I get the point of this thread and the discussion that was meant to happen. Everybody is always commenting about how much she changed her style and all. Perhaps, Lana is just on the defensive. I mean, the attack she was getting with her glamorous and beauty queen style was becoming something really huge. We're all very aware of how she lets it get to herself and how much of an introvert she is. Possibly she's just trying to let the flame alive, in a shy way, rather than a firestorm. Trying to avoid comments like how much she looks retro-gangster-diva nancy sinatra stylish. It's easier to put on back to tha basics looks, get the attention she really was interested in (getting her award or something) and leave in peace with herself. I know celebrities have a certain commitment with their image, but sometimes you can just get really sick of trying to look a certain way and being wronged by random people that don't even actually enjoy your music. She's been pulling out her glam image because that leads to so much drama. I can be wrong, though. Anyway, if the opinions of strangers don't matter, why are we all in this place reading and answering opinions of well... strangers? Lana is the main point. So, Foolish, please try to be less personal and rude. Ain't nobody got time for that.

HOLY FUCK I CAN'T HANDLE IT

Loving the new lines! And I think it's "come a little closer, kitty, promise you'll keep it"

Totally agreed! That's what I wanted to say, musicians will care about their work, their music. It's just that overanalyzing ruins the spontaneous feeling of the creation. I think Lana isn't necessarily included in the "divine inspiration" club too. She gives me kind of the same impression that poets from the beat generation do. It feels like they're spitting the words on the paper, describing what's happening with them quickly. Lana, for the amount of songs she has, seems to be someone who is always writing, no matter how well or badly. Her main point seems to be telling stories about her experiences with her own codes, favorite words and names. It's all honesty with a bit of fantasy. I don't think she has many songs with relevant epiphany in them. I could say Last Girl On Earth has a touch of her early death epiphany, but generally she's mostly a down to earth artist. That in the sense of telling her stories rather than having an idea out of nowhere about some specific subject, because other than that she's pretty lunatic. I love that she's delicate in a way - with her shyness and nervousness - but she's also bold and confident enough to tell what she wants and what she doesn't when it comes to her music. I don't think I'd be THIS into her if she wasn't full of these little weird details.

That was really nice to read. It's one of the best things about music, books or movies: randomly finding it, giving a try and seeing where it goes. That person was able to synthesize the whole essence of Lana's music without necessarily checking it all: first records, unreleased stuff, everything. I've never thought of BTD like that before. Lana is so raw as Lizzy, May Jailer, Rich Whores, Sparkle Jump Rope Queen or whatever, if you think. That natural condition is still with her somehow and I think it always will. I love how the person mentioned Pet Sounds and the way it was dubbed to express the idea of snaring inspiration before it's gone. Not caring or overthinking that much. Clumsy or imperfect, it's still going to be there, in its real form. That's quite amazing. Thinking about that, I remember how we have always discussed about the definition of her genre and we could never find anything specific. Thanks for sharing, Monicker. It's totally thread worthy! Always nice to see things from another perspective.
