    delusional people on twitter are really saying powder is better than sirens after months and months of begging… lowkey makes me wish she didn’t release it :biblio:

    She needed to do more for sirens and that's just a fact.

    Where was this? :hdu:

    She is shooting a music video in the UK right now. It's theorized that she is in fact shooting 2 videos, 1 for vigilante shit and 1 for enchanted but it's all just fan-driven speculation of course.

    There is absolutely no value in what Ajall or other music reactors do. There really isn't any value added to your life when you watch random nobodies react to music. Them liking the songs you do does not legitimize them. But have fun wasting your time listening to her substanceless reactions and paying to listen to her scream and say biiiiiiiitch!!! every 3 seconds.

    Lana Del Rey Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd CD – Titan Records

    Review: Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd

    The singer's tumultuous ninth LP finds her at "the very heart of things"

     

    Lana Del Rey has proven to be one of the most prolific singer-songwriters in the modern era - in the last four years, over 60 songs and poems were officially released. Her parents, siblings, friends and community of artists became prominent figures in her lyrics, although none of them take the place of the main character: that's Del Rey herself. She once described her current music as "her innermost thoughts", and even if Chemtrails Over the Country Clubs and Blue Banisters were intimate enough, Ocean Blvd goes beyond.

    The Grants

    Family, death, spiritual connection, loneliness and personal reparations -- it really sets the tone for the rest of the record. I love this song not only as an opener but also an individual piece. Her voice sounds crisp and delicate, the choir singers take it to a higher realm, the composition is heavenly dramatic and it's just overall so soothing. Highlight: the synths during the second chorus and the "My pastor told me..." melody.

     

    Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd

    This is undoubtedly one of Lana's best songs ever. The lyrics are just immaculate, the instrumentation is rich and cinematic, it has such an incredible climax with the choir girls, her voice is emotional and velvety and, I'll say it again, the interpolation of "Don't Forget Me" has to be her most epic reference of all time. It'll be very hard to top this one. Highlight: everything, but if I have to choose... the lyrics.

     

    Sweet

    I absolutely adore this song. The lyrics are sincere and conversational and I love the "some basic bitch" line, and it makes me crazy when she goes a bit nihilistic with "I've got things to do, like nothing at all", it reminds me of "I miss doing nothing the most of all" from The greatest which, to me, is one of her best lines ever. Highlight: "Do you want children? Do you wanna marry me?" The entire bridge and final chorus are some of the top moments on the album for me.

     

    A&W

    One of her most haunting compositions ever. The way Jack and her turned this psych-folk number into a horrorcore trap bop is brilliant, an even more brilliant is that transition. It sounds like her mind is stretching and distorted and then she goes all wild. Also the lyrics are so shocking, full of strong statements and confessions. It's equally angsty, depressing and careless. One of Lana's most adventurous tracks. Highlight: the intro, it sounds so psychological, like the intro of some really weird TV series from the 80s or something. Also the strumming during "...sidepiece at 33...".

     

    Judah Smith Interlude

    As some of you guys know, I didn't listen to any of the leaks, but I did read some of your reactions and descriptions. When I saw most people were so negative towards this track I thought it was an exaggeration and was eager to listen and judge by myself. Well, I think I will never ever play this song again. The quality is horrible, the jokes are cringey and the instrumental is not that good... I understand the message, but whatever she wanted to say with this one, she already did better with other songs. Whether it's an important moment on the album or an instant skip, that's up to the listener, but if I had to choose, I would've left only the last part of the preach and leave it as a 40 sec interlude. Highlight: none.

     

    Candy Necklace

    Continuing with the horror-like section of the album, Candy Necklace definitely shines with Jon Batiste's incredible, spooky piano playing and Lana's haunting melodies and vocals. I'm not a big fan of the lyrics, I've got to admit. Not my favorite on the album, but still a great song, and the chorus is surprisingly very catchy. Highlight: when the piano goes all freaky.

     

    Jon Batiste Interlude

    I remember reading some people comparing this to Pink Floyd's The Great Gig In the Sky and I can see why but this interlude, to me, it's just as unnecessary as the previous one. The repeated words get annoying and I hate that it's so so loud. Sure, the waves of sounds are cool and psychedelic, and it works nicely as an extended Candy Necklace outro, but yeah. Highlight: how trippy it gets.

     

    Kintsugi

    The horror section of the album is gone and we enter stripped-down territory. With its quiet yet evocative piano and country-like melody, the lyrics of this song are a beautiful celebration of having family as emotional support. It's very sincere of Lana to let us know how important her family is for her. Highlight: "Donoghue..."

     

    Fingertips

    Her most revealing song ever and also the emotional centerpiece of the album... A thread of depressing confessions, revelations and reflections on many forms of death, it's even way too much to take. I don't think I've ever cried so hard with a Lana song on first listen. The mournful lullaby melody and those waves of gentle string, and also the rhythmless composition hit really deep for me. I am so thankful she released something like this. Also she says my name twice lol. Highlight: The "Find your astral body" part and also her voice during the "Have a baby at sixteen" part. Wow.

     

    Paris, Texas

    For some reason I wasn't as excited for this one, but I'm surprised. Lyrics become way less heavy and important now, letting that melody shine. This is one of the most gorgeous vocal momoments on the entire LP. I love the medieval vibes... I certainly wish the lyrics were richer but it's nice having this one setting a lighter tone for what's to come. Highlight: "Down in Florence, Alabama".


    Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing

    Heartwarming melody, epic build-up, great vocal production, love the sax. The lyrics are rather confusing, or at least the message. I wish the outro wasn't the same as the intro. Highlight: production.

     

    Let the Light In

    Not my favorite song, but it's such a beautiful collaboration and the chorus gets stuck in my head. I don't think it has any purpose on the narrative of the album, but rather an opportunity to finally have FJM on an album of hers. Highlight: the chorus.

     

    Margaret

    Wow, this song exceded all my expectations! I love it, it's such a great wedding song, very dynamic and showcases Lana and Jack as collaborators and friends. I'm so happy this song exists. Highlight: "By the way, the party's December 18!"

     

    Fishtail

    Not much to say, more of a mood song. The lyrics are weak af. Highlight: the melody?

     

    Peppers

    Serving Born to Die demo! With the lyrics, melodies and that surf vibe. Such a cool song. Yes, the Tommy part sounds muffled, they could've fixed that, but it's not that bad. Also "...we've been kissing, so whatever he has, I have" is such a good (and dark) lyric. Highlight: the whole "Wipeout!" part.

     

    Taco Truck x VB

    My most anticipated track, as Venice Bitch is one of my top 3 Lana songs. It's really good, but it should've been more epic. Can't wait to hear it live! Highlight: "Lanita".

     

     

    You did Let The Light In so wrong smh :crossed:. No narrative purpose? The entire album was building up to that moment!

    ok guys so idk if this is the right forum for this but i don't know what is so i'm just putting it here

    i also don't know if this has been discussed here before, i tried searching and didn't find anything

     

    ever since lana talked about going to Spain as a teenager in her bb release insta live i've been wondering about it because there's like nothing about it on lanapedia or anything and i never see people talking about it. so i just transcribed a convo she had with lanaisababe on the live, idk if lanaisababe has an account on here but if so hi queen

     

    let me know yalls thoughts about this but like she really revealed a lot of info in this convo so here it is

    (excuse any issues with my spanish i'm not a spanish speaker just someone who's learned just a little bit in school, sorry)

     

    Starting at 44 minutes into the BB release day Instagram live:

     

    lanaisababe: how did you learn spanish-- you went to... i think you went somewhere, right, to learn spanish?

    lana: Yo puedo entender mejor que yo puedo hablar pero si yo fui a españa cuando... (i can understand better than i can speak but yes i went to spain when...)

    lanaisababe: lo esto fue a españa... ( ... went to spain)

    lana: *nods* españa... tuve quince años para cuatro meses (i had been 15 years old for four months) 

    lanaisababe: quince-- oh conocer tenia quince años (you visited when you were 15?)

    lana: si, despues de escuela. (yes, after school) *switches to english* because they didn't let me go home

    lanaisababe: oh...

    lana: y tuvo {i think she's saying tuvo where she should be saying tuve} un novio de *cuts out* (and i had a boyfriend from ... )

    lanaisababe: Oh! Usted tenia un novio de españa? (oh you had a Spanish boyfriend?)

    lana: no de... well de argentina (no, Argentinian)

    lanaisababe: oh de argentina... pero... oh wow, ok, y usted aprendio {?} español ... (oh Argentinian, ok and you learned spanish...)

    lana: un poco, un poco, it gave me inspiration it gave me inspiration... y tambien vivo en los angeles so... and en mi escuela yo tuvo una *clarifies with lanaisababe that maestra is female teacher* yeah i had a maestra she was so good. i know you guys are laughing at my spanglish but i donttt careee *whisper joking voice*

    lanaisababae: no it’s really good! It’s really good. And you weren’t there for long, right? Like, Spain?

    lana: mmm no… not really, but it was weird like… it was weird like as soon as i was 16 like i was like almost fluent, like i was there for maybe like four or five months, but i had a family there, and like i had a spanish sister, spanish mom, and all i remember them saying was like *spanish accent* “lizzy! Apaga la luz! Apaga la luz!”

    lanaisababe: oh, turn off the light turn off the light–

    Lana: because i would leave the house with like the radio playing, the lights on, like i had no concept of like burning energy and that was what i was famous for. They were so angry but like… yeah i remember everything. They had an American bar, no i think it was called… i think it was called “The American Bar” and i used to drink so much tequila because, i was like 16 and i could! And that was also like they had absinthe there

    lanaisababe: they had what?

    Lana: absinthe… *shakes head* you don’t need to know…

    lanaisababe: i’m not sure if i know what that is but what was your favorite part about spain though?

    lana: well first of all it was kind of confusing because i’d been sent to boarding school and i like wasn’t allowed to come home, so i went straight to spain to santender (idk if that’s right) en el norte… don’t mind my– don’t mind my *smiles* accent

    lanaisababe: no, no it’s good

    Lana: so it was amazing but like i definitely felt like very alone, i went with like a lot of other kids and luckily they were super nice but like i didn’t know any of them. I remember on the plane ride there they gave me a little cake that said sweet sixteen because i turned sixteen in the air… and i was like this is cool but it’s also like “am i ever gonna go home?” so yeah i remember that there were nude beaches in Santender and i was like not as cute as the other girls and i was like “i am never gonna do this, never” 

    lanaisababe: oh no you’re cute! …oh my gosh that’s so funny

     

    Interesting because she was sent away from home due to her drinking. At what age did that happen, when she was 13? She started super early.

    I keep thinking, why is Lana promoting CN so much? It's not a bad song, but personally I don't see it as having much potential to go viral either, and why music video for that same song? A&W had the potential to be a hit and have an iconic music video and Lana let it die. :pout:

    That song has such a dark aura about it. :pout:

    She is trying to impress David Lynch so he finally collabs with her on a tropico-length art film.:yesnod:
