     I reckon I'm one of the few decent things about this shit forum but damn, take it down a bit.

     

    I don't know you at all, so nothing against you personally or your contributions to the forum, but Lanaboards has thousands of members. That's a lot to think of yourself. Lana is what makes this forum great

    because it flopped. 

    I can't go on this thread without coming across another post from you about how lana is flopping/did flop/is going to flop if she doesn't do xyz. Her music isn't entirely mainstream because she offers a new perspective. It's time appreciate her for who she is; caring about her sales more than she does is kind of sad.

    Why does everyone want lana to do things she has never done and literally will never do (a collab with nicki minaj? really?) for a number one hit. Lana could have a number one single, she has written a lot of accessible and catchy music, but she's not going to sell out and become like every other artist. For her, music is the primary concern, and I would rather have impactful music that's genuine and well conceived than something that is designed solely for the purpose of being a number one hit. Also, she doesn't like being famous anymore, she made that apparent, so that won't be her goal her goal will be writing music that matters to her and her true fans. I wish the people on this thread appreciated lana for how amazing her music is and didn't try to fit her into a mold meant for other artists.

    Thank you. There's nothing else to talk about, so might as well make some sort of conversation otherwise the thread will be dead

    Everyone complains about everything on here lmao

    I think it's alright if the thread dies down until something happens unless it's speculation, like what's the point of it if we aren't talking about the new album?

    I feel like everyone who is trying to draw linear meaning from this song will never get there. If you've ever written a song or poem, you'd know that it might be true but not literal, or it might just be an attempt to convey a meaning. Tim O'Brien talks a lot about this in The Things They Carried; you can say things that aren't literally true that have truth behind them. "Bill" could be an amalgamation of many of her old boyfriends, a representation of herself, of the way she believes other people treat her in general, etc. I've written things that don't necessarily feel consciously true they just came out in a song. If you think any song of hers always conveys literal truth you are pretty gullible.

    bops are great, but it doesnt need to be upbeat or fast paced to be good... i mean born to die was good album, but it was super overproduced and a lot of the songs sounded too similar to each other, or had similar instrumentals, because the production style was so limited. i would rather have something slow and calmer like a honeymoon 2.0 if its overall more mature than a bunch of songs that are only good because i can dance to them

    For me, what matters is that there's emotional resonance and that the songs stick with you. I think bops or fast paced music can do that really easily, like when the beat drops or whatever or the lyrics can have more impact if they're catchy. But like I wouldn't mind a honeymoon 2.0 if I actually felt like it did that, even if slower. I think honeymoon didn't connect with me not because I didn't love the musicality of it (although it felt underproduced to me), but because there wasn't anything that particularly moved me. Like I get that from pawn shop blues, or from BAR (the prechorus) or TIWMUG ("lana how I hate those guys") video games, etc. I think it can be slow it just has to be something that grabs you, because that's how you can really make slow music work.

    have you guys looked at the track lengths :deadbanana:

     

    Leaving LA is just over 13 minutes & SIGOOMM is 10 minutes

    leaving la is good though.

     

    I feel like only folky kind of people can pull off track lengths like that. Like I love Let's Not Shit Ourselves by Conor Oberst, and that's like 10 minutes long. It only works if it's an artist with strong lyrical content and an audience prepared to listen and treat it as art rather than something to play in the background

    It kind of reminds me of the ways west coast is surprising, like the way she integrates something slower and more introspective with something a lot faster and more dramatic. It makes me really emotional like I didn't get that way for Love

    It's weird if she's really referencing witchcraft bc she seemed to really shy away from doing anything controversial lately, and Love doesn't feel witchy at all to me. The BAR think makes more sense to me and maybe she more subtly is referencing that witchcraft stuff with the dates? 

     

    Oh Oh! okay so maybe her point is that BAR is all about love and that will be the spell that defeats trump!
     

    Lol idk
