Ultra Violet

Me listening for the first time 3 minutes ago:

The whole Ultraviolence era literally had the dream team. Dan Auerbach, Dan Heath and Neil Krug i would freak the fuck out if all of those three worked with her for an album again.

So many lyrics of Serial Killer would be good! But Diet Mountain Dew would SLAY for - said- commercial

Lets see if i curse this site again by bumping this thread a second time I have some thoughts and also want to clarify some things i spoke about on here last. About the vaccines not making a difference in the end as to whether or not people get covid: i think the vaccines made a great difference with the initial strain of Covid, probably all the way up to Delta. Its really been Omicron that changed things. Since most people got Omicron where i live, from the Dec 2021- August 2022 waves, its easy to look at that and generalise it to all of the strains, when we simply.shouldnt.do.that. Also, people have been way less vigilent with masks and social distancing since Christmas, and that has played a huge part in how big the 2022 waves have been. About unvaxxed people maybe getting covid less than vaxxed people: there are several other things that might be making this the case. Firstly, unvaxxed people were cut out of going places, to work and events in my country. They were therefore waaay less likely to get it from simply being isolated. And isolation is THE best way to avoid getting it. About the vaccines maybe not even protecting people from getting long covid: again, unfair for me to say that with all the different strains. If more people got infected with Omicron because of its higher infection potential, of course there will also be larger numbers of people who then get persistent symptoms. If it ever seemed like all the people i know who also got long covid were vaxxed, thats because most people, by far, in my country are vaxxed. I also want to say, i fully support people making their decisions based on data and research. That includes people who want more data to come out before they decide to get vaccinated. Afterall, i made my decision to get vaxed based on the success of all previous vaccinations in stopping disease spread. I also really appreciate the people who can admit that governments have not handled this well and have given up on pushing the importance of masks, hygiene and social distancing, not even bothering to encourage isolation when people are sick anymore, and have replaced those concerns with repeating over and over that the best thing we can do now is get vaccinated. Getting vaccinated is only one of the many things we can do for this particular virus, and dropping one measure leaves a massive hole for leaks. Being critical of the government does not make someone antiscience or antivax for gods sake.

Yes! And can she at continue in the production direction of WTWWAWWKD so at least that instrumental can leak?

It's so forgettable. I listened 2 hours ago and already forgot what it sounds like. Taylor really REALLY loves Lana so i dont get why she wanted her voice as only a little background support.

Okay thats true tho! I can appreciate that

"Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man" was this written in 2016? The only one i like is Lavender Haze. Definitely agree that the lyrics are... not it. They all truly sound like a teen in 2016, breaking out in their career, wrote them. And im sick of Lana only getting whispered background vocals

Agreed that its not only for yourself. Its just weird that this particular vaccine has barely made any difference to whether or not people get it & spread it on. The only thing that's genuinely helped has been social distancing, wearing masks, and lockdowns, etc- things that stop us coming into contact with the virus in the first place. The vax is just a backup that didnt seem to work very well at the rate things were progressing. Yet even if this vax (i had 3 doses) is ever proven to have a negative effect on people's health, i wont regret getting it. It was the better choice at the time.

Oh yeah, yet another thing they kept saying: "if youre vaxxed, plus with boosters, you wont get it as severe". Thats worked for me with the regular flu (ive noticed several years in a row that when my partner gets the flu he is knocked out hard, but since i always get flu vaxxed, it feels like only a cold to me). This has NOT seemed the case with covid tho.

Wow thats awful, im so sorry

I'm pro vax for everything but i definitely have seen how they have stretched and exaggerated the level of protection it gives us. My observations obviously arent fact... but its strange how everyone i know who was vaxxed got covid worse, including post-infection symptoms, than those who werent vaxxed. Im waiting for all the data to come out. They really need to do more surveys, for people who took longer to recover too, like myself.

How long has it been since you got sick? Its weird that the only symptom i dont have is being out of breath, but ive definitely heard lots of people do.

Thank you for your reply xo the most the doctor has told me is to take it easy and pace myself, so i guess anyone can only get better by managing it until it passes on its own it is about time i went back to my doctor tho (its been a few weeks) because i want to try and get it reported as something more serious, to at least have it under my record that its getting worse!

If You Lie Down With Me, Dealer, and I'm also still obsessed with Prisoner (The Weeknd & Lana) Within the last year, my fave collab is this:

I thought Flux as a follow-up album was perfect. Mostly because of the title track and its music video, i confess, although the other songs definitely showed so much personal progression. But yeah it does seem like it's too easy to forget about the two EPs, unfortunately. It would be so cool if what you listed became an actual deluxe release. Also, the inclusion of 3.14

Feels weird bumping this thread but does anyone else think they have long covid, or that you did and recovered?

I never thought about where it stands amongst my rankings. I will have to redo them with all the BB songs! I hope it makes my top 10 bc it deserves it.

One year since i heard the masterpiece which is If You Lie Down With Me <3

Love them all, but especially Pocket and Shapes. They're so early 2000s/late 90s alt rock. I love how she does angsty but with very self-aware lyrics.

These must be pretty obvious but I will always stand by these. BTD: Hit & Run, Driving In Cars With Boys Paradise: Wild One, Angels Forever Forever Angels (these 2 deserve to be with Ride and you know it) Ultraviolence: Your Girl, Cult Leader Honeymoon: Yes To Heaven (but not the honeymoon version, surprisingly).

I missed this???

Nvm <3

This SLAPS cant say which is better but omg i need this

I hope she watches The Love Witch (2016)
