If I get a little prettier, can I be your baby? 

so resonant, that feeling of not being enough, not loving yourself enough to believe that anyone could really want you. 

That's lovely and the lizzy interview

theory: I think Lana changed White Hot Forever to Tulsa Jesus Freak once she had White Dress.

It would look VERY clunky and redundant if the tracklist went:
1. White Dress

2. Chemtrails Over the Country Club

3. White Hot Forever

Even if one of the White's got pushed further down the tracklist it would still just seem a bit off. Tulsa Jesus Freak is a great title aslo, very unique.

.....now....my crackhead mind is still wondering if perhaps.....Tulsa Jesus Freak just has the refrain of White Hot Forever....and White Hot Forever was a full song that got scrapped....imagine

Sort of like how "spin me round kiss me in your Chevrolet" appears in many of her unreleased songs but no one knows which is TRULY belongs to...

Hmmm, or perhaps this was why she was split between calling it white dress vs. waitress. In the end, she preferred white dress over waitress, so she had to change white hot forever to TJF to make the tracklist flow better 

Obviously this assumes that white dress was recorded after WHF (which we don't know, right?) 

In any case isnt it weird that she once liked WHF so much that it was the title track, and then she changed the title because another song came along which she thought was more deserving of the 'white'? This theory kinda suggests the whole vision/story of the album changed after white dress, that it became thematically more important than the previous title track. Didn't she also say that white dress was a pivotal moment in the album?

we don't 10000% know but she tagged @/constellationjones in the first pic, aka clark jackson, aka the director of the LFL album trailer, the LFL video, the summertime the gershwin version mv, and producer of the love mv

Didn't Rich Lee direct all of these except for summertime... ? 

9 years! 

I still vividly remember when it was 4 years old and Lana made her Darling born to die post... and its been 5 years since then?! 

"Living in the land of Honeymoons and oil tycoons. God bless America, the land of pink champagne and purple rain. This is my favourite perspective / nothing but white sails above and blue waters rolling in front of me for miles and miles" 

I always wonder what this was. If they're lyrics, I sooo want to hear this elusive outtake. Otherwise, even if just some offhand prose she chucked out into the world, these lines encapsulate that signature soft violet languid opulent space that the whole album occupies so well 

Her insta story has made me so nostalgic... those were the goddamn days 

2012-2014 never forget 

Lana is different now, just like all the world, and fair enough 

Girl that comment... rappers? Rappers?????????????????????

somebody just commented "i want lana del rey to cover a jeff buckley song" and i was just thinking about what it'd be like if she performed a cover of lilac wine...  

Or a haunting devastating rendition of So Real 

I love talking heads

She's meditating 

I'm obsessed, this is why I love Lana

And Jack did not produce according to the credits on spotify 

Which is refreshing 

SO GOOD, SO GOOD

I imagine it could sound a bit like this version of Young & Beautiful, which is honestly my favourite version of the song - 

 

Man Lana's Gatsby era was so amazing 

I think it's one of my favourite things she's done. It was more than a single song contributed to a film, it became a whole central element, she was fully absorbed into a world where she would absolutely exist in herself. Everything was perfect 

Remember when people thought she relinquished her thirst for glamour because of how bare bones a lot of the NFR era was. This is a real swinging in the backyard look

I don’t remember this.. what did she used to say / do that showed she was a fan?? :o 

She would caption her pics with Lana lyrics often, songs like Hope and Is This Happiness, even unreleased ones like Fine China, and would engage with people in the comments that acknowledged she was referencing Lana. Happened more on her burner accounts like Majora

When Hope came out I distinctly remember her reposting many of the lyrics onto her story 

Among other things, but as soon as QFTC happened she unfollowed her and has never mentioned her since  

Random but does anyone else remember how heavy she used to stan Lana? She hopped off the train after question for the culture  

That was sick and hilarious and very very pretty 

The only PPP I recognise is by beach house

I assume if Neil is there then she hasn't completed the album booklet or hasn't finalised the cover, which means physicals are probably not in production yet 

Unless he's taking press / random promo shots, but even then, I feel like the only reason she'd bring him on an MV shoot would be to include his imagery in a substantial way that relates to the story of the album

Oh shut up. You are annoying. It is coming this week. She said soon before violets (this month) and didnt say that the album is delayed when she should.
