Make me your Dream Life

@@Foxglove ohmygod tour performance clips sliced w imagery would b amaziiiing

I definitely get u on that. Inversely, the fact that its so simple makes it a lot simpler to deviate the technicalities and onto other things. Like, proof in the pieces of film pudding based off the simple constant randomness if that makes sense. Like, enter Ed Edd n Eddy, meets real life. No doubt its a lot softer than most of her previous stuff forsure

Oh mm no I totally get you on that. but to be fair, LA's pretty vast, n the areas can be pretty different depending on where u are, so benefit of the doubt for the other person who mentioned that. Maybe bc we live around here that we already know, but it sums up a lot of the areas. And- regardless, mm she did film this where she did and it's just nice to see when u think about it. The subcultures round here're always changing, like tf who keeps unofficially changing things, it's just weird lol and stuff, but I think the area's safe for the time being, 'least I hope. It's literally more of a transition area than a main one so I don't think it'll change as much anytime soon. I love how laidback it is and really hope it doesn't change too quickly. Another reason why I appreciate the vid is that it's kinda like a physical thing that sort of represents that. Like a living frame of it. Highkey happy it's still pretty mellow compared to other places. It's difficult to recognize some areas, even for me these days. That's LA for ya tho, part of it's charm. I'm ranting but u know what I mean right?

I personally love the mash-mash. it's easier to draw out ur imagination w them, and come up w patterns or notice how slight details play into what the record and everything else tries to hold together w what she's trying to say. Like it's easier to read between the lines thru. They're like, supplements to the music, these vids, and it's real calming imo

I think it may be Lily Tomlin's face that gets to me, but mm, I get what ur saying. Down for those vibes, I just dk specifically about those cliched, yet detailed diffs. Yes to the charm, and mm of course to the replay value

Mm, when it comes to that, I think regardless, she doesn't have to anymore. I mean heyo, this seemed more like a fun project than anything. After releasing vids for FIILY/Greatest and DT, this seems more like it's just for fans if anything. Not to undermine any principles or sound dismissive by ways of being grateful, but it just really seems that way by this way of the vid. Her expressing herself this way doesn't make it any less, it's just diff from what we expect, dry def. There's still plenty of material to absorb, it's just not what others might want or expect yeah

I think she's incredibly poised in it, strangely enough, and she explored that real well imho. I was confused for a sec, but, and w the rest of the videos she's released this cycle. Idk how to put this properly, the videos are actually still balanced, just shift the focus from the technicalities, and more so- I think it's supposed to be absorbed in full, as a whole, the animations are cute, but what she actually wants u to see, is her. It's strangely wholesome because although sure it's underwhelming from what her videos got us used to, but- this is her. The intimacy is what's supposed to carry this through, and it did. At least for me. Why I wanted to ask about the other peeps who aren't from California is because, at least for me, my intuition's been firing on and off in the vids for more reasons than one, bc growing up around here, it's definitely a lot more immersive in experience. And I fucking don't wanna sound territorial or condescending, but I think what she's doing is taking away the glamour from what Hollywood offers, she moves past it, and gives u an average free day of what it's like in LA. Not to make anyone feel unincluded at all, but it's incredibly local-feeling. This is what the culture's downtime in youth can be like sometimes. It feels like something's ended and I can't put my finger on it exactly. It also feels like she's accepted something about herself that she hasn't before. Damn, her life focus kinda just shifted, and I'm happy for her. In a more collected, but still collective sort of perspective, she's saying she's basically made it, done w it. She's just gonna live her life.

oh shit, mm yeah.

I kinda wanna ask the people who aren't from California how they feel about it. How do u guys feel about it?

Is it sick that I kinda wanna ask if anyone else gets possible cult vibes from the term spoken word. The album/vinyl'll have spoken Lana passages. Lemme buy a silk nightie, find a slightly older man to dance w like a loon on a full moon while I laugh contentedly w some pinot in one hand, handing tracts w the other bc u know what Im ready would u imagine It'll open w something like. This is ur captain Lana speaking. Ur about to enter the Elizabeth Woolridge Grant experience. Rule no. 1. Purchase peach lip gloss. Glitter, mandatory. Rule 83. Now that ur in the car, proceed to cha cha matcha So on n so forth. U know. I might take it as a challenge n do it

hm current nfr thoughts, the weather's been pretty annoying around here. I loved the cold, and how it rained for those few times these past couple of weeks, but it honestly feels like the end of a western saloon movie since the clouds/fog dk exactly scattered in the sky, which in turn made the sun's glow a lot more, powerful, the yellow that it tinges everything makes me think of mangos, but like hot mangos, who likes hot mangos unless it were in a jam? bc the heat still seeps thru and I'm thinking to myself. It's days from winter what why is it so dry. but then. the video's coming out, and I remind myself, hey get those sunset vibes, while watching it, and it's nice how close the vid's coming out before Christmas, which gets me further into thinking, it's a nice transition to the new year. Should I listen to How to Disappear before all that happens?

I appreciate the effort u took to write this, but u lost me buddy. This sounds like a comedy skit let's compromise? scribble all the weird details, add in more car footage, they're driving in the same car. lots of lights from the city, from a mountain drive view. she could still work at the office, but then they'd meet outside on the roof of the building. picturesque or at least artistically shot, we get lots of cut frames from her and her s.o they'll meet serendipitously, she'll leave ahead, he'll go chasing. she was walking slowly bc she knew he'd catch up. Sidewalk. lots of dramatic yellow lighting. view of their backs walking, then intimate shots of them laughing. she looks down and he does too, they're both smiling. she stares into the camera, smiling gratefully, him first, and then it fades abruptly. Video Games video quality. they can still hold hands, but to make it a bit livelier, we can actually cut the vid when their hands clasp together, he's stroking her hand with his thumb.

ngl i'm a bit tired rn, but I'll answer a lot more intently whoops imma just do it now, regardless of what we think it's amazing that she can successfully reference herself like that. It's kinda like how she did w LfL, excpet it's a lot more refined on NfR this time around. I defo think it's a lot more referencing herself and being comfortable more with those parts of herself knowing she's grown. Whether or not she's rehasing it, I personally don't think that's the question, it's mm yeah to that degree as to what blend she's doing it for. Imo, she's done it in a pretty tame way, so that's real good. This is a new perspective for her too, so maybe she's still kinda reconfiguring the pieces from before, to the present, towards the future. She mentioned that she's still in that creative space where she's eager to create and write, that was a while back earlier this year, but I'm hoping still that she's still got that kinda energy for the next one. I'll admit I'm thinking that since she's grown a lot as an artist, she's also a lot freer to experiment, especially after all the acclaim. Lust For Life was a lot more of an anthology of her work, NfR is kinda like a summation of how much she's willing to share about her inner world, the next one, she's basically a lot freer to do what she wants. *insert the hero's journey cycle pic* It's too early to tell what she's thinking of when it comes to the next record, we need more hints to figure that out n guess, but lol short answer, I basically think she's making a lot of peace w this record than the one's she's made from the past, that's for sure. HM. I always go back to that record. It's all so entrancing. NfR's crazy great, but the allure isn't quite the same. I think the album cover fits so much w how, almost noble the record is (NfR).

Exactly...! Admittedly, I got into Mariah more intently during Memoirs, so I got to listen to everything before then and was just FLOORED. On the same boat w ya, was a casual listener since BtD. West Coast got me hooked, and I got to semi revisit BtD, but it's just not the same. Actually, kinda going thru this process w Grimes atm, and it's one of the best feelings, like being able to just digest all of their tracks in a short period of time, it's amazing right?? Factoid, HM still sounds so so so fresh to me it's amazing-

Sometimes an intro acts like a gateway n interest to everything else so I mean heyo. It's a perk of being a fan late imo, ya get this entire catalog and it's just world-opening

Hahahahahaha just kidding but. Um hm. We already play banned ya so. Banned bc maraschino cherries sound real good rn ngl

Lets just all agree California is the true ho of this album sadcore whorrr w a tender core yes.

Lets all get banned bc where the hell is the intensity

Just like tht just like tht - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gap-zS1VBKo
