The Greatest

i dont get why people think the album will be pushed back again lana actually announced the date this time that's a huge difference and like she has 18 songs so she really doesn't need to keep working on it

To be fair, we're all talking about how expensive it is but it's 1500 for 8 people so that would only be 187 a person which I think we would all spend to meet lana if we had it, so it does kinda make sense if they're dicking people around with a "birthday party." On the other hand the wording makes it sound like Lana's inviting us not 1oak

that's all good and all but where's the deleted scene of her washing her dirty feet

i had a thought, a very bad thought I feel like white mustang could be a g eazy collab. Like she talks about your record dropping, it kind of positions the song to maybe have a rap feature towards the end and the song itself I could picture him rapping to even though it's slow, he does stuff that's like slower sometimes

lol i've been in Europe for the past month but i've been watching this thread from afar and I just wanted to say, I'm happy to be back for the shambles

To be fair, her entire jazz cafe performance was seriously incredible. Still my favorite live performance of hers

lol im a dumbo I should have been more clear-- Virginia

I used to kind of feel that way and then I saw her sing it live at Bristol in like 2014 and the music hit this crescendo at the chorus and it was amazing I will never forget it

I thought it meant eminem like they talked about that in the interview

what does this mean?

Whatever happens, whenever it comes out, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. These things have a way of working out

Wait so is the flaunt mag we got not the full piece? or do we think it just says it on the bottom and that's the only thing that's different. What we got already feels very complete I doubt it's different

To be honest, I really do like the song, but when I heard it I thought she might get in trouble throwing coachella in there for the same reasons that piece described. I think it's good to have those revelations about your privilege when enjoying an experience like coachella, but to write a song about that maybe even feels a little more privileged, since she is only being specific about the coachella part and not actually what's upsetting her. We are put in her shoes, made to more feel bad about the fact that this is going on during coachella than to focus on what's actually happening that's so bad. That being said, I don't want to downplay the importance of recognizing privilege, having an interest in politics, and recognizing everything you have good in your life. I think it's a good song for that reason alone. I just think it was rushed and with more reflection she maybe could have been more effective about making her political statement.

ooooh you're right i mix those up sometimes my b

"I'm no longer a candle in the wind"

what's the one question lana is asking god? not taken seriously

Did we decide that the whole "eve" thing didn't mean anything?

if memory serves she said SOC coming soon and then it was out later that day

Totally agree-- there's beautiful writing there. It tells a story and asks meaningful questions about lana and her relationship to the world around her. Like lana was upset with spin but it's the journalists job to get a good interview not hers (although, still, fuck them)

ew just realized you can see her hubby's pubes in that pic

it's "God Bless America and all the beautiful women in it" Also the album is obviously already done because the flaunt writer had heard it all!

The funniest thing about this whole thing to me is all the people who say "at least it's not ________________" lol and I'm always sitting here like I like that song... Also, am I the only one who hears "starway" instead of stairway? Queen of pronouncing things strangely

Lol some peeps on here might be upset but you're right I don't even know anything about production and I know this sucks and was rushed. It makes me wonder whether there isn't that much stuff she's proud of on the record that she wanted to add this last minute because she could have just released the album the way it was, perfected this in the mean time, and just put this out as a random single just to say hey. I know lana doesn't do that but it could have been done. Why release something that's not complete? I bet it's the attention her instagram post got-- judging from that a lot of people liked the song so she probably felt like it was fate/a necessary addition, but honestly it could have been so much better and different. When I heard it, I imagined it with smoky instrumentation like more rock or acoustic (UV). It would have been perfect for that aesthetic but I think she wanted it to fit into the pop mould she had for LFL that didn't end up melding with this song as a whole.

I was thinking about that earlier it's a really good point. Like I would be so excited to get this if it leaked and wasn't meant for the album. I love BAR but maybe if we heard it first as an album single we would be like...what
