Thunder and If You Lie Down with Me are career highlights. 

I can't believe we went from a lot of people hating BBS when it first leaked to it becoming number 1 in the poll 

The HOLY QUARTET of LDR albums - Godtraviolence, Godlymoon, Godman Fucking Godwell and Godlue Godanisters PERIODT LUV PERIODT LUV

COME THRU KAZAKHSTAN

Remember when we thought this was gonna be the album cover? Time flies

Baby me too like what the fuck. I RAN THERE but it was already closed 

i am so upset 

NOT ME MISSING HONEYMOON BEING PUBLIC FUCK 

She really is getting a deeper form of revenge than we thought with this album. When she first announced it I was expecting something angry, but instead she's telling her story in a really open and honest way, and then retreating from the public before the album is even out. It's heartbreaking revenge and critics will have a harder time trashing her in this new context, without looking even crueler and stupider than they already do. 
 
Lana is one of the greatest artists of all time (the greatest in my opinion, but I know that's subjective) but so much of the conversation around her is about unfair bullshit that's taken out of context and always paints her in a negative light. Most people who don't listen to her don't even have the slightest clue of the level of talent she has, because they wrote her off years ago before giving her a chance. It's so annoying when I mention Lana in certain settings and I can just feel the energy in the conversation shift as if people think it's problematic to love her. I don't understand how anyone can call this move dramatic on her part, it makes perfect sense and has been a long time coming. All we can really hope for is that her art does became the focus the way it always should have been, although even if it doesn't in the immediate future, there is no doubt that long beyond her time she will be regarded as a complete legend. 

imagine getting 2 full albums in one year that total out to 26 songs, and you're complaining about 4 old tracks you weren't even supposed to hear 

i don’t think we’ll be getting any of this 
at this point we’ll be lucky if we get another "tour" one day 

I didn't even think about this from this perspective :/
 
I honestly don't care too much about social media and I'm happy that Lana is deactivating for her own mental health and happiness, but I can now definitely understand where some of you are coming from  she's once in a lifetime artist for sure and now I've been reminded of how important the feeling of connection can be, either with Lana/Lana's art or with people who feel the same way. I'm honestly so happy that we have this forum to interact with each other and feel some of that ❤️ 

I will speak for myself on this but..
 
Lana's presence and art has literally saved my life. I cant even begin to explain to you the pain and darkness i've gone through and how having her music and seeing her made it so much more bearable. I know it seems silly, but for people who don't have a lot emotionally, she is the thing we look forward to to keep us going. The extremely sudden absence leaves an empty spot for me. It was the one thing i had to feel connected to her. It may be different for you, but please at least understand and allow people to react the way they need to. This forum is pretty much the only thing we have to be able to connect with each other about someone we all love so deeply. 

I'm not reading all that but I'm happy for you
Or sorry that happened 

Alexa play Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have - But I Have It

This is exactly it — just being an audience to her personal posts  was a very small way of feeling connected to her as a person. We don’t know her of course, but this felt like her wanting us to know her beyond just the music. It was something we probably never actively thought about, Lana’s online presence was just there and she became a part of our lives in a more accessible, cellular way. It’s a very bittersweet feeling. 

then leave, we're grieving. 

I'm so happy that she's doing what SHE wants and I hope she finds peace.
Lizzy will be back.

How to disappear hits differently now

That made me even sadder 

Well. 
I was just thinking… how shocking it will be to listen to this album now that she is “gone”?
 
Try to imagine it. 
October, 21.
 It’s night.
Lana is missing from socials and lacks any other form of communication. We haven’t heard from her in a while. And we don’t know anything about her. 
There was just another single - hopefully Thunder or BBS - between the day she said goodbye to socials and now. 
We are so close to midnight.
(Not) ready to fully experience 1 hour of 15 beautiful Lana’s songs. 

And then it comes. Midnight. Spotify/Apple Music libraries add Blue Banisters to their catalogues.
And you click play. 
The initial deaf sound of Text Book starts to roar in your ears.
And that’s it, the begging of the end. 

You are alone in your room, it’s cold, everyone else is sleeping, it’s windy and perhaps it will also start raining. But nonetheless there’s only you. And Lana’s voice all around you and in your heart. 
 
Okay.
I can’t guys.
There’s something incredible special about this release. I can feel it. Generally Lana’s release days (nights) are the happiest and intense moments of my life. But this one… wow. I really don’t know how to cope with it. 

 
 

don't know if this has been done already but i took a walk down memory lane, and thought it'd be cute to look back at all her insta profile pics over the years 
May 2013 - February 2015

 
February 2015 - August 2015

 
August 2015 - January 2017

 
January 2017 - September 2021

Her circuits are busy. Goodbye! 
 
(I'm sad about it but also respect)

Okay, I left her a little goodbye message. I just hope she knows how much we all love her and will miss her as she's gone! Hope she returns one day soon whenever she feels ready, and at least we'll have the music and any other gifts she shares to remind us that she's not so far away as it may seem.
Bye for now, beloved x
