Ultra Violet

I have a feeling shed be a lust for life stan. I'd wanna show her the LFL first demo.

Short interlude here. Double standards against Arabs are just crazy. Jews have experienced shit that imo justifies feeling like people want them extinct. They're allowed to talk about it. So why can't someone like @14n4 talk about feeling targeted by Israel without being called clueless, when look what's actually happening to Arabs in the neighbouring countries!! How they feel is also justified.

Meanwhile Israel has now killed 19,600 people. Nearly the whole world is against this indiscriminate killing of innocent lives, yet Israel and the US still believe it's justice being served. 13,700 children, babies and women killed for "justice" and "self defence".

Also, the top youtube comments on Void and Tunnel Vision send me I guess it's good some people think they're experiencing the peak of her career, but to me it's like they're watching something completely different.

I Liked the ending. It was better than the whole music video. But the video overall was also better than VOID so I'll take it I guess. Idk about you but I'm sick of her falling through all these portals. I get it. It's the whole album and it has meaning and it's supposed to feel tiring, but now I feel the pattern is boring and too on the nose already. What's saving me my fan status is that Ive started paying real attention to all the Portals session outtakes, like Death (2020), Hawaii Space Guitar, Garden, Dragons Blood and Mother of Pearl. I'm seeing how beautiful, spirital and etheral this era could have been, and these songs pull me much more emotionally. But for some reason the songs she chose for the final cut make it seem less about the concept she's going for aesthetically and more about human crybabys life. Likes its been a mix up.

If someone wants to read about the IDF capturing innocent men, forcing them to strip to underwear in the street, driving them blindfolded to another location, beating them (unprovoked), and then 16 hours later letting them free without giving their clothes back or untieing their hands, making them walk hours back home like that. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-12-17/detained-palestinians-gaza-idf-videos-photos-stripped-men/103237684

So fucking sad. "This was against our rules of engagement." Theyre literally doing everything against every rule.

First I disagreed with the first post, then I read this and agreed. Although i loved what we got from Ultraviolence, there was still the change from the original Ultraviolence video (recycling it for Freak really watered it down), the PWYC video never coming through, etc. I think that after Paradise, "missed opportunities" have been SO reoccurring and it shows because theres always something missing. Scrapping Best American Record and getting it replaced with White Mustang was also a big loss.

Definitely The Last Shadow Puppet collabs. And she knows she could have released an "Unreleased Tracks" album and it would have been her second or third most-streamed album. But i wish there was a specifix focus on BTD outtakes as they are pretty consistent in themes and production too.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells soldiers they will fight "until the end" regardless of international support." "I say this in the face of great pain but also in the face of international pressures. Nothing will stop us".

Another non-binding vote: Only to support more pauses in Israel's killings. The way they're terming it a "sustainable ceasefire". They literally put the word sustainable anywhere just to make the public more complacent.

Omg Legend!!!! Thank you so much

So if she's left Capitol, does that really mean Masochism is gone? If that's the case, I think unless she teams up with a great producer very very soon who really supports her and challenges her, her music career is officially over.

They can all relate to losing people and it's heartbreaking, every one of those stories at the beginning. But it really gets to me when the Israeli advocates jump in and claim the Palestinian advocates are lying about many Palestinians going to jail without trial, that the western media is pro-Israel. One even saying America doesn't support Israel And then the guy who said children throwing rocks are terrorists too... thats not what any white folk in western countries get labelled as, let alone children . Idk, this video really just shows me the different media that these Israeli advocates are fed compared to the plenty of verified information they don't seem to have any idea about + Biden literally speaking and supporting Israel with his words and America's money Edit: I want to say that I think the general Israel population is being lied to by their government and the IDF with a very specific narrative. It's still up to every individual to look further than what theyre being told, just like everyone else in the world needs to. But especially when their own nation is responsible for how Palestinians have been living. The ones who already label children as terrorists are probably too far gone tho.

Yeah, I don't really agree with the veto power in general either, but I'd get it if it could still be overridden by the majority of veto power countries. Just one country alone is a terrible system.

As expected, the US blocked the vote for a permanent ceasefire. All other 13 countries with veto power voted FOR a permanent ceasefire, except Britain who abstained. 17,480 people have killed in Gaza.

Someone shared this a while ago and it sold me Also, amazing. The only good Ride remix And this is so embarassing but this is the remix that made me start liking OTTR

I'm just remembering some weird interaction I had online years ago (probably 2016). I posted my spotify top artists and both FKA and BANKS were on there. Some random guy who followed me started trashing me for having FKA Twigs in a higher spot than BANKs because "FKA is trash. BANKs did dark RnB first" Wild. I've listened to them both since 2014, and genuinely never related them as being in the same genre, or at least close enough to compare to eachother. I think they tend to have some of the same listeners, but they're so different.

"The majority of these resolutions were drafted to provide a framework for peace in the decades-long Israel-Palestine conflict, including asking Israel to adhere to international laws, calling for self-determination for Palestinian statehood, or condemning Israel for the displacement of Palestinians or settlement building in occupied Palestinian territories." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/26/how-the-us-has-used-its-veto-power-at-the-un-in-support-of-israel Does anyone else know much about the UNs veto power and how it all works? Just started to look into it and wow I'm just appalled. Some people in this thread have already mentioned how useless the UN is, and it's in times like this that we really see it.

Arab nations call for Friday vote on UN resolution demanding ceasefire in Gaza "Arab and Islamic nations are calling for a vote on Friday on a draft UN Security Council resolution demanding a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. The proposed resolution is a response to a letter UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent the council on Thursday warning of an impending "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza and urging its 15 members to deliver a humanitarian ceasefire. The United States, Israel's closest ally, has not supported a ceasefire and has veto power in the Security Council." So nothing will ever happen until the US decides a ceasefire is necessary. The permanent countries with veto power are China, Russia, France, the US and the UK. The UK will clearly do whatever the US does, but China, Russia and France all voted yes for a ceasefire previously. This year the other 10 non-permanent countries with veto power are Albania, Brazil, Ecuador, Gabon, Ghana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates. Next year it will be Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Switzerland. Not sure how much that would change anything since the US clearly holds the final decision regarding Israel. For example: "The US has used its veto power at least 34 times to block UN Security Council resolutions that were critical of Israel."

Is This Happiness has amazing lyrics. A repetitive chorus doesn't even matter when the verses and bridge are like that.

Big Bad Wolf (demo version, the one that's 3:44). I've always loved this one, and I only just now realised it matches Dragonslayer as another Lana "fairytale" song.

She'd tell me to "go find your people" and I'd say "I have, but it's just other lonely people online"

I made a playlist of Lana's covers in order, and I've realised it's the perfect way to listen to hear how talented she is throughout her career without selecting songs with bias from her released discography.
