'In Your Car' is now coming up in Spotify as 'Love Song' - Has this already been discussed? I went back a few page and saw someone posted fake looking lyrics for 'Love Song'. Was this before or after Spotify began recognising the song?

Everyone complaining about NFR being boring, go listen to LFL On another note.. If Stronger is actually called 'California' there goes my theory about it being a section of 'The Greatest'.. Hmmmm Where does Shazam get its data from?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xugdFZCBGW4 There is also a livestream she did in the studio - this is part where she was singing along to HTD - we have no idea if what's playing in the background was Jack laying random beats or the actual song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-dYoW2OB9k

I think this album will always be underrated. It is just so beautiful and so many of the songs take me places. The Blackest Day will probably always be my favourite (from the album and also out of all her songs). The Honeymoon sampler visually captures the essence of the album IMHO. I've always thought of HM as the only album (to date) that Lana is the heart and soul of and I at least assume had the fewest changes from the original idea. LFL was 'for the fans' and we know it changed a lot. UV was heavily influenced by Dan Auerbach and was chopped and changed from the original vision (although it worked), BTD and Paradise (Well probably more BTD) were such a push to make it after Video Games. As far as we know Honeymoon is Lana, doing what she wanted. There are almost no leaks, no outtakes that we know of and what came out was essentially what Lana described it as (despite the change in title). Having said that, I do think High By The Beach was slapped on at the last minute in order to produce a possible 'hit' single.

I think it would be awesome! Would be pretty cool to have a song that changes dramatically like that. Same!! I love HTD. The Apple performance is beautiful and so is that snippet where she changes the vocal runs around as she sings. I think I've shot myself in the foot, having listened to and REALLY loved the snippets for Hiab, IMC and Cinnamon.

I know this was pages ago.... But... I don't take issue with the swearing in Cherry. Lana said herself in an interview that Cherry and another song (white mustang???) were meant to have a vibe of annoyance/irritation and that they were the first songs she felt she was being 'annoyed' in. I've always taken that as the reason.. Annoyed/irritated sass where she's swearing out of irritation rather than swearing for the sake of it. I don't actually really swear at all in real life, and find some of Lana's swearing pointless (Gods & Monsters, Radio, some of the swearing on UV) but I dunno never minded it in Cherry. (Oh and I'm also Australian with the Aussie swearing birthright that I don't use).

I feel like ‘The Greatest’ is what we know as ‘Stronger’. I could see the snippet we’ve heard as being a slow section of a faster/less stripped back song. you don’t have to be stronger because you’re the greatest or something like that.

Agreed Honeymoon sampler is where its at

Cherry MV confirmed

The worst thing is that honeymoon songs never really came onto her set list but overplayed born to die songs have never left it.

I think it should be some sort of washed out colour like on the Venice Bitch cover... A washed out blue? Would love the aesthetic of the packaging to look like this... Its kinda Honeymoon washed out and summery.

I think people have a problem with you saying that people who like a particular song are pretending to be edgy... Nobody is saying that people who like Groupie Love or Summer Bummer are pretending in order to be edgy.

Because the simplicity is beautiful, as is the emotion in LDR's album.

I have a feeling that this is gonna be up there with Honeymoon beautiful and uncompromising. Unlike LFL which I have to skip Summer Bummer & Groupie Love each time.

Music To Watch Boys To, Dark Paradise (Germany at least), Ultraviolence and Venice Bitch (if that's considered a single). I hope not. I'd be more than happy for her to sit back and make music and release it at her own pace, without promo or fuss. Personally I think NFR is going to be some of her best work, and Honeymoon is my favourite and both were/will be(?) minimally promoted and I think she make the records she wanted with both.

This is me while driving..... "TWOOOOOOOOOOO FOR THE SHOWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... How did you getttt that wayheyheyheyheyhey I don't knowwwwww" I worry what other people can hear coming from inside my car... Being a cat person I should sing some Lana to my cats

Just a side note, I used to want a Florence x Marina x Lana collab but does anyone get the feeling that even if it did, it just wouldn't live up to expectations?

I'm just listening to that live stream when she's in the studio with Jack..... I really really want the studio version of how to disappear.. and a studio piano version. Its so beautiful <3

And not only that, I really think that getting the poetry done to the extent she wants it done is important to her. I'll say it before and I'll say it again, I think the Poetry book and NFR are linked and it is important to her put them out together, or the poetry before the album. And realistically, it isn't that long since LFR and it's only a year since her worldwide tour. It isn't like we've been waiting 5 years or something. Yes it would be helpful if she let us know what's going on but I think she's tired of the fame and wants to do things on her terms. I think she could probably be satisfied just recording music for herself and never releasing it, would avoid all the toxicity that goes on when she doesn't deliver on time etc. As much as I would love NFR right now, I'd much rather let her have her space to finish what she's doing, then have her quit music or something.

Yeah who knows with that one. Possibly a very limited run of physical books and an eBook? eBook comes free with the deluxe album? Who knows!

I'm not that into it myself, but I think possibly that it is so linked to her album and she wants to get it out there first. And as for ignoring NFR, I honestly think she's done with fame. She wants to write and release music as she pleases. Perhaps a lot of the inconsistencies in this era have been down to disagreements between LDR, her management and her record label wanting different things.

Even if the album isn't mentioned this is good news. The Album and Poetry are linked. There are photos from when she was recording where she's carrying that typewriter around. Theres even a video somewhere where she's listening to one of the NFR songs, and you can hear her typing. I think she wrote a lot of the poetry while listening/Writing/Recording NFR. Possibly she's written the poetry book as a prequel/accompaniment to the album. I was getting a little worried lately that the poetry book was going to disappear as she hadn't mentioned it for a while, but I'm glad it hasn't. Once the poetry is released then I think the album will come. Maybe she's putting more promo/mentions of the poetry in as she knows her music will sell but is unsure on the poetry. I also go back to the press release in January that said the album is for a mid year release. Possibly the plans changed between last year when LDR was releasing the singles and annoying 'top end of 2019', maybe she/the team realised that the poetry would take a lot longer or something. Amen to that! I don't see the need to criticise her appearance whatsoever.

Yeah maybe my summer (Australian summer)... ;P Turn the best posts into song lyrics, get in the studio with Jack, record it and release it as "NFR - The gays and their descent into madness edition". Featuring Happiness is an Album release, "Hope is an extraordinary dangerous for Lana fans to have, we don't even know if we still have it" and "Crazy conspiracy apartment complex'.

Unfortunately apparently even Lana doesn't know when Lana is releasing anything!

I nearly spat out my drink to this Please noooooo I want NFR vibes mixed with Honeymoon vibes <3 Whyyyyyyyyy. Literally everything I've heard so far has been awesome. This has crossed my minds many times. That press release is probably right, in both the release time and the fact that MAC, VB and HIAD are all 'fan singles'. AMEN! National Anthem changed a lot!!! It was originally called 'I want it all' and had a competlly different chorus and the whole thing had a different sound. The verses are the same, though she got rid of one of them. It was then completely reworked into national anthem, but with a far more guitar driven sound, with a new chorus, then it changed again, and then we have he released version... and thats the just the versions we know about. Dark Paradise was reworked multiple times, at one point it had completely different verses (the "I got the ice, you got the fire. You got the stuff, to take me higher I got the brains, you got the money, this is a race, lets go fast honey" version), she sang another version to this live in mid/late 2011 (Everybody told me I was falling in love, I said You would fall too if you knew what I was dreaming of, Everybody told me I was stupid because you were bad, you were wrong, And I knew it.) There are so many demos of LDR songs showing the change during production!
