    Tbh I don't mind waiting for a while until the album is released. It just would have been nice if something was said sooner instead of "top of next year", "March 29" etc. Like... if they knew they had no release date, they should have said this months ago!

     

    I am thinking March 29 was probably true at one point, but now the poetry book has had complications and pushed back NFR's release. If there were complications with the poetry book, they would have known this a while ago as well because they gave the release date to Billie.

     

    Ahhh, never mind. At least we have some info now and LB isn't going to curse Terrence!

    Yaaas commented on ben's post and the comments are killing me hahaha someone asked if we wanted another july 21st fam situation and I said yes

    Sorry this is gonna look so weird but are you the account with James Acaster as your profile photo??? :defeated:

     

    Also idk at least we have the poetry book confirmed because I wasn't getting hyped for it just in case it was going to be another 'unreleased album' situation. So that is exciting at least! But I agree with you guys like WHY would he say it's coming in 2019 as if we didn't already know that  :crying5:

    It looks like she is working a shift there... Imagine doing a bit of shopping and popping in to your local bookstore, finding a book you like, then you take it to the counter and friggin LANA DEL REY is behind the desk :defeated:

     

    I wonder if she had to go and visit the store and meet the staff to talk about selling her book there

    Sugarboy is one of those songs that aged like fine wine :defeated: I feel like I am flying at high speed through a built-up city in the year 3050 when the instrumental part comes on

    Lmao. We're talking about the fact that LFL was Lana trying to force herself into a positive direction to believe her own hype, which was fucking obvious. Also the fact that Hope Is A Dangerous Thing is a clear sign that she really is going down a self deception route, that she's not actually happy, and that she's ignoring her emotions and pain rather than dealing with them, "they write that I'm happy, they know that I'm not, but at least I can say I'm not sad" is Lana's way of telling us she's bottling up what she feels, because you're not supposed to feel nothing lmao. Feeling nothing is a clear sign of depression and I'm surprised you guys haven't pointed it out, because it's not like healthy people feel empty and nothingness. Don't forget Lana's also currently seeking guidance from a place like Hillsong. So all signs point to the answer, if you choose to ignore them as a fan, or as a human being, then I don't know what world you live in. You would think by now people would be more aware of mental illness seeing as it's effects so many people.

     

    The way I see it is that although Lana is not happy, she isn't sad or as sad as she was before. And being in between happy and sad does not need to be nothingness - she could be a bit of both, but not at either extreme. She could be going to Hillsong (not saying this is the right thing to do), talking about being an instagram baddie, going out more with her friends, etc, because she is now in a place where she feels like she can try and integrate herself into a community more and wants to belong somewhere - so I don't think these are necessarily short term solutions. Of course they are unlikely to be long-term solutions, but they may help the process of growing and learning to cope better. By doing these things and becoming more politically active she may find a sense of meaning in life, which then could help her to feel more supported and that she has a safe space to grow. I agree with you that two years is an incredibly short time to go from singing songs like TBD to LFL, which may imply she is miraculously happy all the time. But I don't think this was the case either - I don't see LFL as a happy record, I see it as Lana being in a state of confusion and a search for meaning, and recognising that it will be a rocky road to recovery or managing her sadness. I don't think Lana has ever claimed to be 'happy', but I think she has claimed to be really trying to get there, and LFL seems to be where that journey to be happy really started.

     

    I hope that doesn't come off as me being blunt or rude, it's just how I see things! :)

    After thinking about this all day I think I have come to the conclusion that, like some of you have said, she seems to be quite insecure at the moment about herself. I guess it is this insecurity which makes it seem like she has a deep need to belong somewhere and feel part of something to help her feel less insecure. I would imagine her new friends are going to this church, and she goes with them to feel part of something and to strengthen her friendships. I am assuming she does not know Hillsong's past and has not researched it, probably because she has not even suspected there is a reason to - why would her friends engage in something with such a twisted past and present? She seems like she could be quite easily influenced as well, which would just make it more likely that she will follow what her friends do.

     

    Of course, this does not make it right that she is going. But what I am saying is that, I agree with @LanaFlowers that there is probably something going on inside herself (insecurity, loneliness, etc) which may lead her down the wrong path (which she has done many times before - alcoholism, abusive relationships). I really don't think she would go to this church, knowing their views, and donate to them - maybe I am wrong, but I just can't see her doing it. I think she is just looking for meaning in life and personal value - not going about it the right way, but I am sure she will realise this as she has done in the past.

    Honestly why have I been LYING to myself saying that UV is my favourite album??? UV will remain a classic and her second best album, but BTD really is that record - everything about it is perfect. Every single song, the photoshoot, the live performances (which I'll admit, took me some time to love), the music videos, the production, the song choices and tracklist UGH ALBUM OF THE DECADE/CENTURY/MILLENNIUM/MEGAANNUM/INFINITY-UM... The POWER this record has....

    Nnnn I have a very deep and sad gut feeling that we will be getting the album later than planned. I’m honestly letting go the idea of the March date for a more late spring/early summer one . April/May seems more believable mainly BC of Lana herself stated that we haven’t had the lead single yet.

     

    So really I see the Gucci campaign as the start of NFR era and MAC/VB/HIADT as a prelude. Hence why everything feels lazy so far BC none of singles or anything else like the MVs was planned to begin with. She just did it to satisfy our thirst and maybe out of sheer pride? She’s the most confident she’s ever been and I imagine all the acclaim so far for all the singles must make her so fucking happy. Lana deserves it and even if we have a visually lacking era it will be probably musically, her strongest.

     

    I don't have anything to base this on, but I wouldn't be surprised if the release date is pushed back... And I don't know if this would influence it or not but Brexit is meant to happen on March 29. I know Lana doesn't care much about chart success now,  but I would have thought she would not want to drop her record on such a significant/controversial/upsetting/historical day? So I wouldn't be surprised if NFR comes early April instead!
