Sylvia Plath

I can honestly see a remix like that blowing up 

Me too. This sounds exactly like something that would get played all the time.

I know she's been seen hanging out with the guys from The Last Shadow Puppets a couple of times. A collab with Alex Turner or with both of them would be so cool, even if it was just a writing collaboration.

She posted the full poster on Twitter

Does anyone recognize the man?

fall in love with king 

The way he's reacting is how I felt while I was listening the first time. This one just does something to me emotionally.

She commented:

 

"Hey kids, thanks for listening- it's OK that it leaked, because like I wrote it up there, it really does come down to love and the intentions behind the music. That's why this is the perfect first single, because this one is for you and I luv you."

I knew it had to be for us. I love this woman so much. What a fucking class act.

Yay I feel like the new era has begun. I'm glad she acknowledged it and is moving forward and I'm excited to see what's in store for us.

It didn't all feel real and like the beginning of an era until she posted, I agree.

LMFAOOOOO me rn

I AM DECEASED.

I love love love the song. Having said that ...

I knew it reminded me of something! Glycerine is one of my very favorite songs so it makes sense that Love is one of my favorite things she's released already.

That Twitter link is from an hour ago. It's referring to what we just got.

I want to buy it but I can't get to it in US iTunes. Clicking the link takes me to Apple Music and there isn't any "Go to store" option when I click the "..." like people are saying to. 

What is the rationale behind the decision to just throw it up on itunes, with no change to the website, no tweet, no instagram, no NOTICE for itunes, no buildup? I mean I know the leak threw a wrench in the plans. But you could at least try to build up some awareness and momentum for this. I wouldn't even know about the song being available if it wasn't for this board - and I am sure most people don't even know a new album is coming. I'm honestly confused. Is it a mistake that it popped up on itunes? 

I'm sure they wanted it up as fast as possible after the leak. All that other stuff will come later. Getting it up ASAP was what was important.

Maybe she's waiting to Tweet about it until it's up on all platforms? That would make sense so she doesn't have a million people from different places yelling about how it's not up for them yet.

This song is so beautiful lyrically. Lana is talking to the fans, saying how she knows how emotional and depressed we can be at times, but we're young once and we should still find love and be happy. And in the last chorus, she replaces all the "you" with "I", making it more personal and showing that she's going through what we're going through. It really is such a beautiful song and I'm so sad that this is the way that it was released.

 

 

the "stranger than a stranger" days are gone, ladies 

 That's why I think it's so timely and appropriate with everything that's going on in the world. It's so encouraging and hopeful.

Wonder why the name changed after the posters had the title 'Young and in Love', maybe because it leaked? ):

The posters just said Love. They didn't say Young and in Love.

I think it's a beautiful song. It's not some super eloquent and complicated piece of music like we all know she's capable of but not everything has to be or should be. I think it's timely and really lovely. My favorite thing she's released in quite a while, honestly.

Pitchfork is already writing about it and calling it an official release, if this isn't legit then it would be really awkward. I WANT TO BELIEVE. 

i think the fact that the single cover is different from the poster it means it's official !

Yeah, it looking like a movie poster could just be part of the aesthetic. I dig it, honestly.

I LOVE THE SONG, HOLE SH!T WHY DID Y'ALL SAY IT WASN'T GOOD. It's in perfect Lana style but at the same time it's kind of a new sound ! I love how her vocals sound, the lyrics and the production

I love it too! It reminds me of her older stuff. Getting all choked up over here listening. 

It's on Spanish iTunes now too.

Can just anyone upload to Google Play Music too?

I bet this is a mistake or someone trolling. 

OH MY GOD, THEY DID SOMETHING RIGHT.

LMFAO if it's the demo that leaked.... Maybe that's why Ben and Ed don't move a finger  Cause it doesn't really matter 

I'm gonna cling to the narrative that this is true and that the DMs weren't really from Ed. 

They could have released it yesterday right after it leaked, even just a few hours later or smth, that's a hundred times better than not releasing it since they're losing sales and even official streams on YT, Spotify ...

Yeah, that's what I've been saying. They should have done what other artists do and responded to a leak with an immediate release. If the song doesn't show up on YT, Spotify, and iTunes today, then I honestly don't know why these people are getting paid to manage anything.

Gosh, it's like they're standing right next to the fire extinguisher yet refuses to use it on the fire. "It's all too late." So dramatic. 

But do we know for sure these screenshots are real? I'm only asking because I'm not too familiar as to where this forum gets it's info. 

Other people might know more than me, but I saw the screenshots posted on Instagram last night right after the leaks started and now fansites and generally reliable people are posting them and spreading the information like they're sure it was actually him. I never actually saw anyone claim they were the person he spoke to and that the screenshots were their own. It was all people saying "Not my screenshot" and "Here's an update." I'm still hoping it's fake and someone trying to upset people.
