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!

I'm changing anxiety medications which is bringing on some... strange... dreams, but anyway I dreamt that NFR was out!!! And I listened to individual songs. A couple were like Honeymoon songs, but with the NFR aesthetic and I really loved the album. Then I woke up hahaha

Does Doin' Time remind anyone of Gramma? I mean they're both obviously very different, but I just see a similarity. @takeitdoen That would be beautiful! Also hello fellow Australian

My desperation for this album is getting to me. I dreamt that the Album arrived in the mail and it had an individual disk with amazing artwork for each single and came with the poetry book and was really nicely done. When I woke and realised I was dreaming it was quite disappointing!

No I do agree - there isn't much of a difference at all. I have no problem with people criticising the Catholic Church the same as Hillsong as organisations, but my point was that there is a difference between being a nominal/non practicing Catholic and a Hillsong member, and thus why there is a difference between criticising a non practicing catholic and a practicing Hillsong member. I've not found much about Churchhome - but I believe they are a Bible Church which probably means similar beliefs to Hillsong.

That isn't what the pope said but anyway. Regardless of what the Church specifically says, my point was that 'being a catholic, because I was brought up with one and I believe in general Christain beliefs' is different to being a 'practicing catholic that goes to mass every week and subscribes to all the views of the Church'. For an adult to specifically choose a denomination, that is fair more aligned with believing in that denomination's beliefs. But as I said, we don't know what she believes. My point was I have far less of a problem with Lana being a 'nominal catholic', then choosing to go to Hillsong. At the end of the day, she can do what she wants, but I was just giving my two cents on the fact that there is a sliding scale of Catholicism and that most people sit at the non practicing end.

I've said this elsewhere but there is a difference between being a 'nominal catholic' because you were brought up as one and you continue to believe in general christian concepts (which a huge percentage of catholics are) and being someone who purposefully chooses to go to a church that is somewhat anti LGBTQ. And the Pope didn't advocate for conversion therapy. His comments were mis-quoted/interpreted/translated. Pope Francis has been the most LGBTQ friendly Pope to date. I personally was brought up Catholic, and I still go to Church, not because I support the Catholic Church's teachings on LGBTQ matters, but because I have a connection with God and that is the place where I do. I believe the Catholic Church is wrong in a lot of ways, and many many many Catholics also do. Maybe Lana is the same with Hillsong. Who knows. Maybe she does believe all their teachings. Who really knows without asking specifically. But what I am saying is that the difference in condemnation is due to the implications of being a Catholic by birth vs being a Hillsong member by choice.

I don't know where I sit on any of this... but.... I'd say the majority of Catholics accept gay people and also the majority of Catholics aren't 'practicing' catholics, more people born into the faith and believe in the broader ideas (eg there is a God). Someone who actively attends Hillsong is a bit different as it is a choice to convert/ actively attending services. I say this as a Gay person brought up Catholic. I actually still go to Church, but, I choose to believe that the Catholic Church is wrong on some teachings and go for my connection with God rather than then religion itself (dunno if that makes sense). Yeah that part made me cackle... Although, maybe they know something we don't

Lana: oh also I want to perform songs from my other albums for the release party Church staff: Oh what songs? Lana: *Sings Cola, Gods & Monsters and FMWUTTT* Church staff:.........

It honestly is!!! It is her best song in my view. Honeymoon is just so well produced, written and executed. It is clever and thoughtful on so many levels.

we got ghosted but it felt like an album release.

Ewwwww. Honeymoon is untouchable.

I just came on here to see the backlash after seeing her insta posts with comments disabled hahaha Ugh no, we just had pop (Lust For Life) - and everyone on here seems to hate it. Its time for some lush strings. LDR7 should be Honeymoon 2, cause NFR is UV2 and LFL is BTD2

Anyone with taste should have been yelling for one of the new songs!!!!!!!!!!!

Who the hell was yellint radio?

There’s a lot of hate for her recent performances going on. I saw her in April last year on the LA to the moon tour and she was pretty damn good, she did various variations and interesting vocal runs and sounded great. Less playback would have been nice, but at least that night it generally worked out well. I’ve seen a lot of videos from the tour and they’re generally pretty good, but Lollapalooza was definitely weak for whatever reason. The backup dancers are a bit pointless....

I think its overkill to do 4 BTD songs. Summertime Sadness and Video Games are well known, National Anthem and Off to the races less so. Maybe if she did one or two BTD songs and then she'd be able to do some more new stuff - Happiness Is a Butterfly and perhaps something off LFL? I do get what you mean though - if this is a festival then there would possibly be a lot of casual Lana fans or non lana fans that only know BTD stuff.

Who I am is a big time believer that LANA CAN DROP BTD AND DO HONEYMOON SONGS hahahahahaha Jeez.. One song of BTD would be fine. Also High by the Beach? Strange choice IMH. (Though thats just because its my least fave on Honeymoon).

I just saw the insta video.... was he calling High by the beach a big comeback song? A heap of the BTD stuff needs to come off the setlist already.... Though I guess for those who don't know deeper cuts it's important. This is super unrealistic but this would be an interesting (short) setlist 13 Beaches Ultraviolence Cherry Swan Song Terrance Loves You Brooklyn Baby Black Beauty Get Free Mariner’s Apartment Complex Ride PICK ONE: Video Games/Blue Jeans/Born to Die/Off to the races (if she must) How to Disappear Venice Bitch

I didn’t say it was about “releasing music” I said about “the music”. She’s clearly writing a lot of music whether or not she’s releasing it, and between that and her poetry, it seems to be her focus.

I kinda would but I love the demo version and wish that it was released...

I've heard if you draw the pentagram using daisy chains and cherries, we'll get Roses Bloom For You + Yosemite + Best American Record and Life is Beautiful on the deluxe edition

I prefer the radio mix of West Coast to the album/single version Also I love all the Honeymoon artwork and visuals + The LFL visuals and artwork (besides the white mustang video which is out of place and the cover for summer bummer which I really hate?)

It would make sense also cause MAC supposedly being Yosemite redone, and she said in LFL she wasn't quite there yet, but Get Free was the closest she was, so it would make sense. This is how I feel. I don't care what she wears or what makeup she does. She's clearly tried to distance herself from fame and make it about the music.. Which is fine with me.

Part of me wants to believe its a surprise release on the 29th :'(, but I know I'm just gonna be very disappointed...
