    Marika Hackman

    This is 7 months old but I'll go ahead and post it anyway. It's a cover of Joni Mitchell's "River". God I love her voice

    Beach House

    Space Song was my favorite from DC for a long time, but one day PPP hit me really hard. Since then it's been very special to me, and it might be the best song of 2015 in my opinion
  3. The prospect of Lana doing something wrong is really incomprehensible to you, huh?

    Beach House

    Listened to Depression Cherry, Bloom and Teen Dream today and I can't believe I've been sleeping on Beach House until now. Teen Dream is out of this world.

    Miley Cyrus

    I'm really late but I've never cared for Miley so at first I didn't bother to listen to the album but today I finally did and... I'm completely blown away. I guess it's too soon to say for sure since I've only listened to it twice, but my early impression is that this is among my top 10 favorite albums ever, maybe even top 5. The last time I felt this emotionally exhausted from music was probably when I heard Lana for the first time 3 years ago.
  9. Stop freaking out everytime, that's exactly what it wants. Report + ignore and soon enough this shitstorm will subside
  10. 1: Music to Watch Boys to - Very intriguing title and it'll be interesting to see whether it's indicative of the general theme/atmosphere of the song or if it's just another phrase that she likes, or a combination of both. MTWBT is also, if I'm not mistaken, the concept that this album was originally created around, which makes it even more interesting. 2: The Blackest Day, for these reasons: 3: God Knows I Tried - Simply because Lana said that this song and TLY are extremely close to her heart and since TLY is magnificent I'm going to assume that GKIT is too.
  11. I'm not directing this towards you specifically, just using your post as an example. I think people use the word "boring" far too loosely when describing music. I genuinely don't know what people refer to when they say "boring" because the meaning differs so much from person to person. I guess when people describe the songs Honeymoon and TLY as boring they mean "slow songs with minimalist production" or something similar, a type of music that rarely bores me. If I were to pick the songs that bore me the most right now it would probably be Cheerleader and Love Me Like You Do, but obviously a lot of people don't find those songs boring at all. Of course some songs can be percieved as boring in some situations and not at all in other situations. For example, I think most people would agree that even if you love TLY you would be kinda bored by it while working out or on your way to a party. But switch these situations to a late night bus trip or watching the sun rise from your porch and it would serve you life on a gold plate. Long story short: can we stop dismissing songs simply as "boring" without any elaboration? k thanks
  12. I'm just speculating now, but maybe they made it that way to make it feel more like the viewer is actually in there with her? In the scenes where the camera is steady you are looking at her from an outside perspective, while in the scenes where the camera is shaky you're supposed to be able to share Lana's feeling of invaded personal space by seemingly following her around in person . I think it's working pretty well and if the camera would have been steady while following Lana it may have felt more like observing her than sharing her point of view, which might have taken away some of the tension from the video. If this is the case, it's kind of an interesting paradox. She's letting the viewer into her home—her most personal space—while at the same time basically saying "leave me the fuck alone and stop invading my privacy".
  13. I fall off my chair from shock every time I see a positive comment, seriously some of you guys are vicious Okay, I get why you could dislike the cover. She's really tiny and it's definitely a change of style compared to the previous covers. However, I appreciate that she has chosen a different perspective this time, the "looking poutily into the camera" shit was getting kinda repetitive imo though it wouldn't hurt if you could actually see her in the picture. Personally I also really like the text on the truck which y'all seem to hate, I don't really know why but it gives the cover more ~personality~ or whatever you wanna call it. Most importantly I love the way she's been promoting this album, especially the glimpses of the process she's shared on the honeymoon account and the GENIUS Honeymoon Hotline which is so funny, innovative and just adorable. It all feels so personal and I'm really happy that she's actually involving us this time, something I have missed in the previous releases. She really seems to care about this album, and that makes me look forward to it so much more than when she acts all indifferent. I can't really say much about the songs we've gotten so far because I've only listened to them once, but I definitely liked Honeymoon and High By the Beach instantly. Terrence Loves You almost had me in tears at first listen and I can actually see it becoming one of my favorite Lana songs ever. Sorry if I'm being overly positive and delusional but I can't help it, I'm simply beyond hyped for this album.
