    Imagine if the new album sounds like Blake's soundcheck guitar riff from BBC Radio 1 in that video (from that iconic imterview and live session September 2015, when Lana talked about Honeymoon).
    JUST PLEASE PEOPLE LISTEN TO THIS GODLY RIFF!

    she should release an entire album that sounds like boarding school, trash magic, and smarty. provocative lyrics as well  to quote lana 'imagine if we actually gave a fuck' except she actually doesn't give a fuck. she should also tell tiktok stans to die in her insta caption when she announces it!

    I think Lana is too smart for the majority of her fanbase, and also too socially unintelligent for the rest of them. I think the people who can relate to Lana the most are 25-50 year old adhd/autistic women

    I love that line, but it certainly is complex. Here’s my simple personal take on it, especially with the context of her using Greek mythology and poetry as metaphors in her writing. It seems Lana finds comfort in metaphors (as do I, I love a good metaphor) and will often use them to sort of “soften a blow” of a hardship she’s sharing in her music, poetry, etc. For example, writing “they said to say yes but I did and I don’t like how it turned out” after taking influence from the Ulysses reading with the repetition of the word “yes” in the final lines. Or, in this interview noting how people have been burnt by certain paths they take in life, and after rather nonchalantly mentioning that she hasn’t yet had children after previously expressing she hoped to one day, says she’ll keep exploring life’s opportunities until something melts her wings - like Icarus after flying too close to the sun.
    In these two recent examples, it seems she’s using references to Greek mythology and poetry to process and understand her own life & emotions and find comfort in the connections.
    So, in that line when she says “they say there’s irony in the music, it’s a tragedy, I see nothing Greek in it” I take it to mean that she’s unable to find the beauty or the art in the hardships that have happened (such as the loss of her family, friends, other details she shares in the song) & while others may find irony in her music and view her sadness to be beautiful or artistic in a way, it’s not how she sees it this time. She can’t find that comforting tie in to relate her own story to that of an artistic myth or beautiful poem, so it is only what it is - just a tragedy.
    To simplify - I see nothing Greek in it = I see no beauty/comfort in it
    I think that’s also why in Fingertips she says everything sort of plainly/straight to the point especially in the latter half of the song following that line. The lyrics are quite diaristic. Instead of taking her thoughts and stories and attempting to string them into beautiful/artistic lyrics to soften them, she’s just telling them as they are. She can’t find that beautiful connection, she can only see the harsh tragedy. As the song progresses, the lyrics get more and more raw - until we reach the very final lines of the song where she ties in Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love & beauty, which is perhaps her final attempt of trying to find the beauty in an ugly situation.
    I hope I explained that all in a way that makes sense. But either way, that’s just my own interpretation - I love that lyric, so I’d love to hear any other interpretations as well x

    i get kind of irritated when her music is always delimited to being sad, and for sad people to listen to. like it’s true a majority of her music is sad i suppose i just don’t get why her audience is always underestimated as a load of sad people! they don’t understand we can bump to sad girl in the club 
     
    it’s exciting to see her cement the american classics and standards album as something that’s coming soon! she just keeps giving

    I hate to wax poetic, but as someone who distinctly remembers having to defend her to my peers in the 8th grade, back in 2012/13, and how she was the punchline of many media-outlets—it makes me uniquely emotional seeing the praise and the deep-rooted respect she is given now in 2023. Seeing headlines like “Lana Del Rey forgives us” and reading articles like this tell me what I always knew about her, and in a way, they validate the little boy who was made fun of for liking her and who felt the need to hide who he really was. Maybe one day I’ll forgive them too

    Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.

    If “keeping it simple” means in a Hollywood Bowl, Lost at sea, Life lessons, and suburban house way, we don’t want it

    I think this is referring to Me too/time’s up  Many people think it skipped the music industry altogether- i think they asked her that on some red carpet and she looked uncomfortable.

    Delulu but lemme dream:
     
    If Fred Again and Lana perform on the same day, maybe Lana joins him on stage so she could perform the 2016 early "witchy" LFL og concept Hugo Boss electro-pop upbeat version of Say Yes To Heaven which he produced

    God I wish she was still like this, she was actually relatable in a way less pretentious way.. Now it just seems like she's trying to over compensate because of what she said in the past and it's just coming off the wrong way.

    finally someone said it! the government of rio is being very reckless and irresponsible to allow any events of the sort to happen under such intense heat. i saw people saying that the airflow of the stadium was also being partially blocked that night, some said it was to prevent filming from the outside. whoever was responsible for this decision should be arrested, no regard whatsoever for the audience wellbeing.

    Any concert on a day that surpasses 40 degrees should be cancelled tbh, the fact that it was FIFTY degrees and went ahead is incredibly reckless & shows a complete disregard from *ALL* parties for the health and safety of the concertgoers. Even in a venue where there is air conditioning etc, as soon as you put thousands of people in a mosh pit crammed together it raises the temperature in the mosh by a considerable amount.
    and to whoever it was who said “ummm ackshually I heard there WAS water!!!!” get out of here with that victim blaming bs. Even if there WAS water, YOU tell me how someone is supposed to turn around and wade through hundreds and hundreds of rows of tightly packed people to get outside of the pit and go get water ? It’s literally almost impossible, especially if you’re near the front of the pit. NO concert should be occurring in such intense heat. Period.
