kitschesque

She never actually had a chance to do so. Festival tour requires some more or less likeable setlist including biggest hits and things greater crowds of people know and possibly would've enjoyed if they knew nothing of her. Of course I was devastated when I got to the first rehearsal in Poland, first summer concert, and figured out even her putting Lolita on the setlist wouldnt make me amend of not hearing Swan Song live. I cried like a baby inside. I hope for a future, proper tour so she can combine Honeymoon and the new record and create a masterpiece - just like the Endless Summer Tour was sonically.

"Hey stranger" verse from Strange Love reminds me of "I need you, I need your love" from YCBTB sonically

True! I can totally see every other girl smoking outside the club singing Salvatore's radio edit or some remix, it's extremely catchy

MTWBT/Sad Girl is the strongest one imo When MTWBT showed up I couldn't listen to Sad Girl without starting singing it with "Pink flamingos..." The first time I did this accidentally in the bathroom was the time I flipped the fuck out I was so suprised

My 15 year old ass back in 2012 was very insecure, afraid of commitment, afraid of my own desires and showing myself to other people in general - I used to feel like I can't fit in. Lana came into my life and changed the whole perspective for loneliness, attitude towards my own character and qualities and completely reshaped my relationship with myself. Thanks to her I accepted everything I learned and just went with it. Some may say she was just a spark to the whole thing because we may not resemble that much, but I just know that's all thanks to her. Not to mention me coming across inspiring people who also share the love for her also was the resolution. I met so many babes and fell for so many people who mean so much. Sometimes I wonder how have I been doing all my life with all the casuals around me Then there's the fact she introduced all of us to many forms of art, no doubt.

The final BTD songs were generally overproduced imo but they still have this strange lyrical potential that lured the entire fandom! At the end of the day you really have to experience the shitty sexual experience to fully appreciate the great one if that makes sense I'm so happy we got the demos though

Backfire always brings this edit onto my mind: Longin for her man to come back, all dressed up back from the city to finally work more on the relationship and it obviously not matching the "environment" anymore, because they can't just simply come back, Lana desperately smoking a cigarette thinking all the things that happen between them through... It doesn't even suit the era it was written in, yet still my mind brings this very specific picture. TV in Black and White reminds me of this particular Marfa take: This is rather bizzare to think of, but that's what's happening in my mind - her sitting by the window (Greenvich Avenue is possibly why I clearly see her observing the street), hoping he'd finally show up magically coming back from the prison and daydreaming of the reunion in this sweet, naive aesthetic. Once again, the age difference with the picture pops up, but it's brief enough for me to forget the detai.

So much effort put into making the list and so many people coming in and adding even more stuff. Blessed. My dream come true in terms of lana-universe speaking. THANK YOU

Because of you vs Strange Love

I was just about to post Portishead vibes too! Especially if the album was shifting from dirty, organic psychedelic rock (I need more of a hippie era like Cruel World 2.0 rather than Ultraviolence-esque in general) to Massive Attack/Portishead beats with Beth-like stripped down vocals... Something less trap, more downtempo. Something like Anita Lane's "Dirty Pearl".

Except there's been some financial misunderstanding between Bob and Gaga and that's why Lana dissed her. When he was close with Lana the Gaga case was long gone I think.

Catch & Release EP 1. Shark 2. Bark 3. Up 3. (Tootsie) pop Lana's first concept release. Possible short-film ahead.

I really miss the days of Paradise Tour when people were (at least in Europe!) chill, positive and easy to deal with. The day of my first Lana show was incredible although I've had like 5th row because people weren't as damn crazy about being as close as possible. The experience was beyond. Every person on the 1st row got their time with her. Now let's get onto this year's show storytime! And then on the other hand I've seen her live for the second time on the festival show this year... Being on the left of the front row was still dangerous lol People were pushing to death, me and my friends were honestly terrified we were going to be smashed. I seriously couldn't breathe. No problematic people around, although lack of space was terrible, I've lost my good spot halfway through and tried to hold the fence with one of my hands which I thought the crowd was going to break Not to mention my dear friend @heavvyhitter almost died because of the Great Run™ for the stage - after waiting 8 hours for the gates to open we've had to run for a mile to change the ticket for a festival wristband and then after an hour of another wait run another distance. Except for the fact he fell on the first run and got literally squashed to the ground. The bruises & cuts were terrible. Thank god we kept the space for him, I wouldnt forgive myself if he just sat there alone at some random back spot. I really hope American shows these days aren't as crazy as the European ones. Stay safe you guys...

I've also heard her technique isn't as flawless as many might assume it is (can't really tell myself cause I've never been into singing that much and never got proper education) but we all HAVE to admit her voice is a GIANT masterpiece just as it is. Like I said on some another forum: someone could literally throw her off of the cliff and her screaming "you little piece of shit" would've probably consisted of more talent than all of ours' combined. She could sing literally anything and I'd still sign up blindfolded. Back in the My Everything days she used to annoy the hell out of me with her attitude in general (I don't even know why anymore!) but DW slays my life :bodyisready: I'd love to see her show in Europe next year but I'm broke. Someone hold me please.

I sincerely thought I was the only one appreciating Pawn Shop Blues lyrically to this crazy point It's so different yet so truthful

Is this happiness is her mangum opus

I love how this actually happened a few years later <3
