Groupie Lover

Oh yes!! This makes me so excited for the next record being more like Cherry, WM, and IMF (saying that those were all done at the end) since Lana's creative direction obviously changed from 2015 Beautiful People slowness to 2017 Cherry production. you can also see how she attempted to do that with Coachella but the short amount of time really didn't work for her... It makes me wonder why it failed on Coachella but worked on IMF which would've been created around the same time? Anyways, I can see how she felt that songs like Yosemite and BAR just weren't gonna cut it (But arguably, she could've just thrown them in the 2nd half of the record..) 
 
On a related note, I wonder what Change would sound like if it was completed a month before the album was submitted? Coachella-esque production?

I think Heroin was the second or first song she made for the album she said it on a recent interview and she also mentioned that it was from the early stages of the record and would set the tone to it a la West Coast but then the political climate change drastically the tone and the direction of the record making heroin stand by itself (sonically). 100% sure she has said this but i don't remember in which interview.

SAME i lowkey love the song 

we need a Get Free Video that's just FACTS

Hey, I've been home sick and I was just reflecting on Lust for Life and got to thinking if we have a good idea on when songs were created and all that?
 
1. Beautiful People - June 2014, originally intended for Big Eyes. The song sat in limbo with many versions being worked on from 2014 to 2017.
 
2. Lust for Life - September 2015, Lana began working on demo versions of this song “the day she put out Honeymoon”
 
3. Heroin - December 2015 - February 2016, Lana posted Sharon Tate to her burthdaykake account, emulated her style on the red carpet and more. The song has a clear Manson influence so it wouldn’t be too far off to figure this song was born around this time!
 
3. Love - April 2016, originally called Young and in Love.
 
4. 13 Beaches - May 2016, originally called Something Real.
 
5. God Bless America - November 2016, Lana’s said this song was created before the Women’s Marches of 2017, and around the time Trump was first elected. 
 
6. Groupie Love - Apparently one of the earlier songs, Lana went to one of A$AP’s concerts in Nov 2016 and said she was inspired by the groupie chicks in his crowd.
 
7. Cherry / White Mustang - Lana stated in a Zane Lowe interview that both songs were created towards the end of the record. I'm leaning to anywhere after February 2017 - Since at that time the record was probably still called Best American Record, and had a different direction. 
 
8. Coachella - April 2017, created on her way home from the Coachella festival. 
 
9. In My Feelings - April - June 2017, with the song being about G-Eazy, it's conception only could've happened after Coachella when him and Lana stopped seing each other. It’s possible Lana reworked an original concept to be about G-Eazy
 
10. Change - June 8th, 2017, this song was created the night before the album was submitted to Interscope.
 
11. Get Free - It's unknown as to when the original version, Malibu, was created but it seems like it was also one of the earlier songs

as a whole i still listen and love the album, there are so many little things that make it amazing. i'm really into the ominous drone-like sounds at the beginning of when the world was at war, and the little robotic chirpings background sounds of 13 beaches   really sets the mood and futuristic tone.  
 
I feel like, Dayglo Reflection, which has lana as a feature but it's also one of my fave songs, could really fit the theme of the album, or like the themes i had in mind

tfw this couldve been her best era if people just never leaked YAIL & BAR and sent her back to the drawing board
 this meh album is gods way of getting all of us back

Very popular opinion but I fucking need Lana to do a whole song next era with Lizzy vocals ala Get Free backing vocals *Out of the Black, Into the Blue*

and speaking of Get Free, I don't know if anyone has really realized just how much the chorus of Get Free is a relic taken directly from the 1960s / 1970s. That could've been in a Beatles song completely intact and it would still fit them... That kind of chorus was something I knew deep in my heart that I wanted and needed from Lana and right when I first heard it, I was completely blown away. Making this one of my favorite Lana songs + Lizzy grant vocals? Heaven.

Me bopping to Coachella with all of LB trying to tell me it's bad

I really hope she doesn't consult Max Martin again. He just makes things sound generic.

I kinda see why Lana hates us, all we ever do is complain lol
 
But seriously, she matured, settled down and now she is basically saying she gives zero fucks about our opinions and she's trying to innovate, and she does deserve some slack though. I'm not really defending her lazy ass, but she isn't the old 'spank me daddy' tumblr girl anymore. Let's see where this new self-discovery era takes her. All I want is for her to be happy and releasing life is beautiful.
 
it's my opinion, please don't kill me
