My Sparrow Blue

Same here. :| But I'm not certain until the actual release. I've only heard 5 seconds, so it is hard to judge. We will just have to wait until the release

I think it will be the intro too... I hope! We will hopefully get more info today at 2pm NYC, 8am NZ and 7pm UK time on the 'waiting for it' website. Anyway, update - What. Is. This. https://mobile.twitter.com/lorde/status/836821068895637507 Does anyone happen to live in Auckland??

I think the album will be released May 23 (the final mysterious date/witch date). All the other dates will give us info about the album, such as album name, tracklist... but I don't know for sure.

I don't watch it but my Dad does. I watched an episode the other night and Negan grabbed this doctor guy and threw him into a fire like wow that's a bit spicy.

Yeah I though her comments were unfair too. She said a lot of other pretentious things about various artists as well. Hopefully she has matured by now. It would be so mature of her to apologize and applaud Lana - Lorde even once said that she thought Lana made awesome music videos. But yeah, I dint like to see my Queens fight and dis each other.

NEW SNIPPET OF MV, APPEARS TO BE THE SAME MUSIC. https://www.imwaitingforit.com/ This appeared after Lorde said that her fans should go back to the 'waiting for it page' at 8am NZ time. She stuck to her promise!

Club Penguin was my religion from the ages of 7 - 10. I was so obsessed, my parents probably though I was part of a cult that worshipped multi-coloured penguins.

I think 'architecture' is a reference to her body and personality, which he (being her lover), would've seen as exceptionally attractive and beautiful, therefore he saw it is architecture. But he got caught up in fame, and became interested in money and power, and probably also other women (although I don't think that is mentioned in the song).

sad times.

What do you all mean by 'loon' lol I'm so confused.

It just said on the news that 'Space X will be offering tourist flights around the moon, starting next year'!! What's lana doing!?

I was worrying today bc I have jabs at school but after hearing this I feel really happy. I love it!

I think you are right. Someone also mentioned that at the top of the website she linked it says ' M*******A'. Fill in the blanks...

She's teasing again ... https://mobile.twitter.com/lorde/status/836289247380393986

The more I've listened to the music in the snippet, the more it's grown on me. I does sound more upbeat than most of PH, and I'm really interested in what this album will sound like sonically and lyrically. It's hard to judge the song/album on such a short snippet that doesn't even have any voice in in it. I just hope the whole album isn't too upbeat (I want teenage angst Lorde vibes too! Even though it will be more about early adult hood). I also hope she hasn't gone in the direction where all her songs follow a pop formulae and sound safe. But overall this snippet is a really good tease and I'm looking forward to Thursday!

She's coming.

In Lana's last two albums, there were themes of cults. In the Ultraviolence song she referred to a cult leader, and the song was over all clearly very dark and melancholic but disguised by lyrics that sounded romantic at times. Freak both lyrically and visually had themes of cults in it. The song was an invite for people to go to California and be a 'freak' and make their purpose known ('screw your anonyimity') which in my eyes makes me think of a cult, especially when there were cults like the Manson Family in California. The MV also served up physcadelic visuals and also kool-aid, which was a reference to the unfortunate Jonestown massacre/cult. Anyway, I think this album is going to have in parts of it a cult theme too, and that is where this witch stuff comes in. When people think of Wiccans and Paganism, they often think of cults, and often not in a good way either. In the past some followers of paganism have been responsible for cruel things (e.g Sacarfices), but today they are generally peaceful and tolerant religion. Most pagans strive to be as loving as they can to the Earth and others, and are not evil. But there are heavy misconceptions and stereotypes around witches and Paganism. This has lead them to be ostracised and mocked unfairly. Anyway I think Lana might use this as a theme. In the song/aesthetic/MV her group of people, possibly Wiccans, are misunderstood because of stereotypes, when really all the want is love and peace. The mistakes of their past generations are behind them, and all they want is change. I think that would be a really interesting aesthetic and meaning, but I'm not sure how it would fit with the retro space theme. Wiccans use astrology, so that might be how it could fit. I'm just going off the pictures and dates though. Lol I'm probably just over thinking it.

@butterflies Best. Signature. Ever.

If this witch aesthetic is true, Florence Welch/The Machine could be a possibility. She has a lot of songs that refer to witchery and Paganism (e.g Which Witch, Rabbit Heart, Seven Devils, Heartlines to name a few ) infact it is a large part of her aesthetic. Still unlikely though:(

ah I see what you meant now

Found one. In the thumbnail they spellt it 'Lana Del Ray'. The comments are extra spicy too (they are all convinced she is a transgender women with ribs removed?).

But wasn't freak about some sort of cult? As in the Manson Family and the references to the Jonestown massacre? Sorry if I'm wrong.

Soon there are going to be loads of YouTube videos about Lana being in the illuminati because of these pictures. There are already loads on her music videos.
