Make me your Dream Life

Two hands to heaven- I pray priest forgive my soul- lovely daggers kiss my heart many moons ago-
toxic roses chased by wolves and carnivores- lost virgins with broken wings that will regrow

ii hands ii heaven just makes it. it's so peaceful. that switch mark around 3:27~ just so good >>>> 

"Baby, I've been waiting, my whole life, for you and I"  absolute love anthem. 

I'm usually not invested in watching music videos, but is she releasing a film for this album still? was that ever a thing? 

First off, I’m happy that she didn’t mention trucks and beer. To my knowledge anyway

first listen, stand outs imo:

Spaghetti - love how it sounds like a movie trailer first and then smooths out 

Riverdance is an incredibly beautiful song. The piano’s soft support at the start just makes it this kind of soft beauty. Something about it

ii hands ii heaven. An uplifting song, this and Riverdance remind me of how I felt listening to XO. 

Sweet honey buckin. That expected Beyonce energy that you might be looking for in the album’s found here

just for fun is a nice song to unwind to. Very easygoing, but in a really, simple and perfect kind of way

Ya Ya’s great. That deep tone. So good

I know it’s a beautiful record overall, despite my overall avoidance of country music but it's beautifully crafted. Some songs are kinda lost in me in just the pacing(?) of it or the overall country styling of it. 
 

Glad Miley’s on it, Most Wanted’s a nice heartfelt collab.  American Requiem’s an elegant song to open the album with. Bodyguard’s a nice listen, but I have a feeling I’ll be liking it the more I listen to it.

Jolene’s outro livens up the song

Daughter’s solid. 
 

I’ll be listening to it more, but heaven, riverdance, buckin and just for fun on repeat for a while first. 
 

Was waiting for that fire. Might be the 27 songs or so, and I know this is probably supposed to be an album listen, but I personally feel a bit indifferent to the overall genre and it’s sound.

I know my opinion’ll flesh out when I take a more mindful listen, but the songs above are what make it for me outright.

I do appreciate her making something that we’ll have to digest over a longer period of time, instead of something that just feels flat. I think we need more of that when it comes to listening to music. To really savor and enjoy it slowly. 

still reveling at this performance 

the lasso's loose rn

Title. No form to it, more so about wanting to contextualize an outfit or look, based off of a Lana Del Rey song. maybe even by albums. 


To start, what does Bel Air look like to you as an outfit/ look?

(Hair. outfit, nails. accessories. shoes makeup etc. for either/ any gender)

so when can we buy the cowboy cover? I'm thinking of getting one of the beyince covers too 

i didn't realize that the website was down til like today, and the first thing that i thought about, actually thought about- 
was the beyonce thread and the cover. so. that being said. yes this thread's awfully dehydrated.

i've ideas:
- visuals in the ways of the MGM lion for a music video, except, have it read "LDR" with her swinging thru the circle for a music video moment. 
- we'll need transition scenes for some kind of cowboy visual, bc why dabble in a newer genre and not jump into it full on, so yes. album trailer. 
transition scenes can be the circle rings of the actual lasso. camp. visually consistent. helps move the visuals along, aside from horses etc. 
- please reference the soft yellow from the blue banisters era. it could symbolize being the same person, but still acknowledging growth. maybe a soft yellow part of a cowboy getup. 
- cactus flowers somehow
- would love a saloon moment 

- merch:
- cowboy spurs shoes. 
- bandanas, handkerchiefs. with a nice embroidery of LDR. subtle. still wearable without looking to costume-y. hire a gay Lana, they'll put in more effort
- star shaped pins, sim. to a sheriff etc. not too gaudy, but in a kitsch kinda way
- please bring back a heart shaped locket. 

maybe like 13 songs.
- she can go for the campy route. cute. tongue in cheek a bit. 
- country rock blues. 
- the legend route, timeless.
- wondering what the temperature of the bop anthem's gonna be like. 
- a song that really blends with the weather. 

we're already expecting cowboys, so why not aliens too


so. 
feeling 13 songs. 
an album visual, and I want to say a short film. some kind of razzle dazzle
some kind of dive bar performance string shows 
live tv performances to really christen the era 
maybe have some song for a film to feel things out first. 

we need more fashion moments. 


if there's anything else, even better. 


from an lb member that's awfully bored but felt the need to contribute somehow. 

I mean Pookie come on <3

Fran Drescher could pull off the purple outfit. or maybe Anne Hathaway

grandfather and aw always remind me of how soon is now 

1 year already? it feels like it was released just a season ago

Me and @Blackestday x CN genuinely not knowing what country music actually is 

this forum's dry af atm but u can always rely on this thread to have something going on. 

Nectar of the Gods is country and IYLDWM 

picture it. long work day. drive straight home. change clothes, crash on the bed weighted blanket lights off.
coconut water for dinner. listening to this masterpiece so I don't have to think waiting for my next pocket of time of solitude. 

I wanna know what the deluxe(?) version cover might be like if she decides to. 
 

atm, the standard black looks best aesthetically imo, or even the red, but I’m wondering if it’s going to have another painting draped behind her like act one’s 

gorgeous side by side the more

The optimist in me sees her being bathed in light against the branches of a tumbleweed. Reposition her frame to the left, torso/ waist up.
dark velvet with a blue luminous hue top.
Thinking, sunset, warmth, the red in her brunette to dark hair. 
golden lettering on the top left. A longing but assured stare. 
 

The unserious part of me just wants to say that she looks like she’s unhappily inside a nest 

Scorpio kween. Miss her

I was hoping she'd use more of the black cowboy hat visual, I wonder if she's going to do a deluxe cover..

I like the cover a lot, it reminds me of like the typically faded insides of a gas station
