  1. A few weeks ago Blake posted a photo of Lana and him performing at SXSW and the caption was "incense and peppermints "

    There is a song titled Insence and Peppermints by a psychedelic pop/rock band from the 1960/70s named Strawberry Alarm Clock. The song is in several pop culture movies such as Psych-Out, The Valley of the Dolls and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. It could obviously be a reach but the song is very centered around politics so I thought I'd at least point it out.

    Here are the lyrics:

    Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind

    Dead kings, many things I can't define

    Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind

    Incense and peppermints, the color of time

    Who cares what games we choose?

    Little to win but nothin' to lose

    Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns

    Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around

    Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah

    Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, yeah, yeah!

    To divide this cockeyed world in two

    Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do

    Beatniks and politics, nothing is new

    A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

    Who cares what games we choose?

    Little to win but nothin' to lose

    [instrumental break]

    Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind

    Dead kings, many things I can't define

    Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind

    Incense and peppermints, the color of time

    Who cares what games we choose?

    Little to win but nothin' to lose

    Incense and peppermints

    Incense and peppermints

  2. I truly don't understand how people could hate Terrence Loves You... it's one of her best songs she's ever made. Also, something to look forward to with LFL is she has already confirmed the lyrics are centered around politics and life so regardless of the sound (which she's never repeated a sound from record to record before, and we have already been told by Ben that the sound is much different from Honeymoon) we are getting fresh lyrics no matter what. It will be interesting to see Lana write about all new ideas & themes. It has potential to be one of her best albums lyrically, something we've never heard before.


  3. I didn't know this thread existed so I'll just leave this here as well.

    I've been researching a lot about Peg Entwistle (The Ghost of the Hollywood sign) and it's very interesting to me and pretty clearly Lana's muse for the ghost-like imagery and living in the Hollywood sign. I would be stoaked if Lana did a song dedicated to her, it's possible since the next track has been described as dark, deep, & Hollywood centric. I think the whole trailer is a metaphor for the fact Lana was extremely suicidal and depressed when the critics slammed her and her art (exactly the reason Peg committed) and that could have been the result, but now she's happy and has a new lust for life. It's actually really full circle and beautiful.
