Miss Honeydew

I had two tickets to see her tomorrow. Would've been my first time seeing her/live since stanning since late 2012. It's so sad but these things unfortunately happen. 
My heart goes out to everyone who was going to see her this leg. Especially the people who are flying + got hotels. I hope you can still sight see etc. 
And let's hope we can all see Lana at a concert some time again when we are able to (and if she does concerts). <3 
 
but hope this a dangerous thing right Miss Lana? 

When she's well enough to resume touring, she should make it up to everyone by putting all songs from her BEST album, Honeymoon, on the set list. 
 

Europe, I'm devastated.

okay yeah i'm fully gutted.... i was so looking forward to this and it was kinda the only thing that was keeping me going thru all the bullshit lmao so this is devastating news    i mean nobody should pin their joy on a concert lmao so that's my own fault but yeah i'm heartbroken
 
i hope lana's okay! i'm sure she probably is ill, so i really hope she gets better soon! i think it's also important to note that mental stress can often give you physical stress as well, so any pre-existing health issues (such as the flu, like many are suggesting she might have) can be made soooo much worse if you're going thru stress or emotional turmoil. we don't know if she broke up with sean (that's purely speculation - or wishful thinking lol) but if that is the case, i can see how that would intensify physical illness and make it worse. hope she has a speedy recovery and i definitely hope this isn't anything too serious!
 
that being said - selfish mode activated - i'm so so sad about this lol. the tickets i bought cost me half my month's wages way back in august but even with that being the case i've been so hyped ever since. it's been 7 years since i last saw her live and now i stan harder than ever so this would've been such a big moment for me and my bestie lol so the fact that it's fully cancelled without even rescheduling is just....   plus i booked a hotel and it's non-refundable  lord give me strength
 
i think once my money is refunded i'll just put it straight into my savings and only take it out if lana does end up rescheduling lmao
 
anyways, selfish moment over, i do hope she's okay!! i'm gonna be so sad at work today hahah

she has those super crazy extension like ariana's
i miss the days when she still has a stylist 

idk doesn't look like a wig to me, the ponytail vid doesn't show anything different either

Johnny Blue eyes needs to come through or she's going to attend the Grammys looking like a damn Amish child bride. 
 

I think what sets AKA apart, is that unlike on all of her post BTD albums, she does not pretend to be rich or to have a glamorous life. The themes of everyday struggles and living a small life (what she probably experienced while being in the trailer park writing this record) are present. It is shown she struggles with money (Pawn Shop Blues, having a wedding dress that only cost 50 bucks, needing the help of older men to "make it", having fun in sleazy bars and gas stations instead of actual clubs). She is looking for things not yet achieved so there is a sense of hope as you said (particularly on Jump) and yet even in her life full of struggle, she has a sense of fun and wonder (Mermaid Motel, Queen of the Gas Station). There is also the more universal theme of relying on family for comfort on Gramma that is never present again in her music except for 2 lines in Ride. These are the kind of lyrics that are more close to the everyday life of a lot of people and that makes the whole thing feel more grounded and like it's a reflection of the real plain her, not the glamorous desperate queen she seems to be on songs like Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness.
 
And then what brings this whole thing home is that you can feel that she is ALONE on Oh Say Can You See, she is walking home alone in the dark looking at the lights created by cars and for some reason she finds that beautiful....there is a separation between her and other people that shows up in her later works too (Old Money verses, God Knows I Tried, 13 beaches) which is an essential ingredient of that sadcore feel all of us love her so much for. So with all of that you are right, AKA sets such a different, subdued mood I don't know another record with this feeling in it. And that is why it's magical.

I wasn’t here to celebrate 10 years of AKA yesterday, but you all best believe I gave her a listen (for the record, Put Me in a Movie STAYS my favorite Lana song, period)
 
I still love this album SO much — it doesn’t matter how much my tastes change; there will always be something incredibly magical embedded into this record. I’m a huge fan of the music Lana is putting out now, but something sets AKA apart — there’s such an honesty and sense of hope and promise and excitement that shines out from it, that you just can’t recapture. It’s a totally singular voice and I hope one day it gets the recognition it so sorely deserves — there is truly not another album like it, by Lana or anyone else.
 
Hopefully, today or in the next few days, I’ll update and fix up the OP. It’s what she deserves
 
(She also deserved a birthday leak, buuuuut )

I listened to the whole album earlier today, making sure I really listen to each track. Such a gorgeous album, every track is so diverse and special and I think that is what gives this record it's charm. Every song is different yet it still manages to be cohesive. I think David Kahne really brought out the best in her, and her vision. 

i only listen to the "sad" demo version

Bring back Emile Haynie and Dan Heath!! We love cinematic Lana. 

The only thing that could save my stanship right now is any of the following leaking 
 
When The World Was At War (Official Instrumental) Yosemite Roses Bloom For You The Good Life Summertime Sadness (Alternative Version) I Talk To Jesus Tomorrow Never Came demo

all i want is a honeymoon-esque sound with a honeymoon type rollout like that’s all i want

that feeling when u finally find your wig and put it back on after Mary Magdalene ripped it from your head only for fallen alien to come in with the “I feel the lightning blast” part and it vaporizes the damn thing off your scalp.

my holy trinity:
 
cellophane
fallen alien
mary magdalene

Looks like she was trying to go for Morticia and then gave up quickly into the look and was like
yknow what i'm just gonna draw a cross on my chest and leave it at that
 
lol anyways Good to see Miss Lana out in NY

I'm not suggesting she get back to Barrie but to say he was beneath her in every level isn't fair, you don't know Lana or Barrie. 
 
He threw cash at the Daniel Johnston doc they were involved with for example.  His band was growing some fame in the UK, the dude wasn't a straight up leech or anything, just depressed.  Shame he quit that band, I think he felt him and Lana were going to be in it for the long haul. 
 
I'll admit my bias that I think Barrie was her best public boyfriend she had from a fan's perspective.  The others might be rich or GQ-cover material but were dull as rocks.

Honestly I don't even know with her anymore. She seems 'drawn' to that side in a lot of aspects but that's all I'll say.

I'm just still trying to get over how much he looks like her real dad and Chuck... 

but just like a... 

manlier version.....

 
  
 

lets manifest it. lets speak it into existence. lana is gonna move back to new york before the end of the year
