Make me your Dream Life

I was walking outside the Observatory today during the day. I usually go to this spot where tourists usually don't go and I was watching the leaves rustle in the wind, the sun making em sparkle. Would've been perfect listening to the track in the scenery and just looking at the city below.

I remember these, I honestly almost had them on repeat til the moment she resp tweeted to a fan telling her the album leaked. I wish she'd just sing the entire record in full in chronological order. On another note, I like the color edit of the album cover on the vid, it's a lot warmer than the turquoise I'm reminded of.

I'll be honest, I hadn't pre ordered any vinyls for LFL, not even the UO single for Love and LFL the single. I was hoping to drop by the store later today to just get it in person, but they keep pushing the dates back, and it's kinda frustrating. I mean the album record will be there for sure, but I just wonder about the heart shaped one. Also, the link to the "visual album" is just a digital copy of it isn't it? I got a physical CD like months back, and the tech spec, the waiting just gives me anxiety wondering if she's got an opus for us waiting on the wings of the postman's truck.

White Mustang

When I think about it, I feel like sometimes other fans just ruin things for the rest of us. I mean Lana hardly has anything to say unless she has something to release, but leaks sort of just ruin everything, kinda like how the era started, the snippets. This time around I'm hoping she just stays silent until she releases the next album, no rumours, no leaks. Can't wait for another May 26th if we truly don't expect it

Honestly, I'd be down to have the Pepsi logo on the front side of my underwear. Don't have a puss puss but I'm pretty sure it'd still apply somehow. They should be low-waist too. Pepsi Cola better be taking notes

So after mixed reviews of the White Mustang vid, yes or no, would the fanbase want another video, of Coachella?

I'm gonna listen to that with headphones on next time ahahahahaha I get what you mean tho, I mean why would she even need to add that into the video? I mean the track's pretty short, and the vid was longer, but the way I look at it, it was added to sort of have a kind of life goes on, continuation kinda vibe to it. I mean she just left her man and is driving off to who knows where. It's like one of those take it as it is moments. There is a lot of Hispanic influence in LA so I could see how she'd add to that for the vid. The trailers did make it seem a lot more than what it seemed to be for in the actual vid yeah

Cool I see it now. Wait, was Get Free really cameo'd in the video? I haven't heard it in there at all! I think for me, her being more of the dominant one in the relationship was a great indicator of the video with White Mustang playing, bc for BAR, I always pictured her being left behind: how her lover used to dance in her design, architecture, and all the roads leading to him, and how he chased the fame and ultimately left her for the thousands of girls with the way he played. Regarding Get Free (which I have to relisten to in the vid) maybe they wanted others to think how someone's being held down from their sense of fate by something they think they wanted? Hence why she drives out and around, until they meet for the last time. I kinda like the Mexican music at the end, it was pretty somber imo, and it reminds me of DTLA, to which sorta adds to the city and the tunnel too

Was it this post Clamp? I get it, I really do. It's crazy but I mean, if you sort of tilt your perspectives a bit, it actually fits the track imo

I so badly wanted to think that the video was just for White Mustang itself bc, who, like anyone, would want something mismatched? I mean at first, I watched the edited BAR video, video with the track, and thought it made much more sense, but I got to thinking that it was just easier to swallow the narrative that way when you put the two together. I think the video fits the track well actually, and I hope it doesn't ruin it for you. It turned out great imo Honestly, I watched the video a lot of times, and I didn't really hear Get Free all that much. Maybe she was planning some sort of mini film for the rest of the record and spliced some clips to make the WM video. Wishful thinking I know, but being in the dark doesn't really cancel that slim chance of it happening . LFL is pretty cohesive as an album and I wouldn't be surprised how it easy it was to make one for it.

And yeah I think so too. I mean, I think it was just the whole disappointment thing with BAR that sort of made me question it, but overall, it's still something nice to look at while thinking about the song. Glad it did!

This thread without news is dark and full of unanswered questions

Made a topic about the video that could actually help make sense of it with the track. If ya got any theories too, just jump in http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/9434-white-mustang-video-theories/

I don't think I'd be the only one for a LFL ep. That would be amazing --

Raspberries

To start, I'll be honest. The first time I watched the music video for this still wonderful track, I just stared at my comp screen, wondering what the hell that was, what was going on, and tried so hard to figure out why I didn't enjoy the video as I pictured myself doing so. Lana was standing atop the man that she loved in their retro future home, holding onto his hands, then swooping down next to him on their textured red rug. I mean for some, that was sensual, and I agree to some extent too, but I expect more swaying, more gyrating of the hips from side left to side right, vice versa, flirting with her dress, twirling, and her hair in the wind as the love of her life gets frustrated as hell, arms to his head, gesturing his pain as she drives off. (It's pretty Born to Die, with an UV mindset I know) We, I, didn't get that from the video. I was letdown for that day. It sorta just came crashing down after someone posted an edit of BAR with the video, and, well I grew frail. Like, well that's what it was. I tried watching the video again, the second time, it was alright, the third fourth, ok I'm getting used to it, perfectly natural. Still thinking of how it could've been if this was the actual video for the unreleased track. (Actually, after getting over myself, I remembered more on what I envisioned the video for Best American Record would be like, navy blues, spinning lights, still some driving, but a lot more anguish, and a balcony scene where Lana and her lover sort of have an off moment that would lead to the decay of their relationship; tho anyway). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4ELqraXx-U Ok, so back to the present, watching the video in the earlier hours of the day (like 15 minutes ago as I'm typing this), and it just sort of hit me. Maybe I'm just being mentally lazy, and that the video she meant to release was actually edited for White Mustang, and that as strange of a depiction as it is for it, that it would all still fit in place; in laymen's terms, how it's actually meant to be, as the reality of the situation is having the video released. Enough with the wordplay jump rope. Let's analyze the video. The narrative goes like this. Her musician boyfriend basically ascends to fame, and ends up neglecting Lana her needs from the relationship that they still shared all the while this was happening. She runs off to the city, in presumably his old auto, his White Mustang, so he chases after, knowing a rift's been caused between them. They dance, he leaves, and she's seen driving alone down the freeway going who knows where exactly, memories of their last encounter still projecting in her mind. It's got the same themes from BAR having a relationship fail, he was doing it (all) for fame, and so she leaves him, fine. So which themes together from both tracks still share similarities? Her heartbreak, the thrill she used to have in the relationship, her leaving. It all still fits within the the track and video's story. Quoting myself from like August: For me, the video still fulfills that comment I made to what felt like ages ago. I think that it's just now, more so symbolic of the White Mustang to being the driving force of what ended their relationship. He was killing it career wise, and she still remembers how they met when he drove in with his auto to her when they fell in love. Looking at the video, he doesn't seem to be driving it anymore, and all the passion, the adrenaline, the heat of their relationship just died as soon as the engine was put to rest and turned off. She takes it for a drive, to a place in the city that they both obviously know, someplace special to both of them, and they have one last dance before they part ways. Her lover does leave her, but she's the one who pushes him away. In the end, she takes the car, and she drives off on her own, while the she recollects the memories of their relationship down the road, onto the freeway, smiling that even if it was over, she knew that it was real, and that it all happened. As if taking the car sort of reminds her of everything, and that she's ok with it. One thing tho, that I can't really have myself fixate on and focus is the missile being shot in the video. I mean, for me, it sorta reminded me of a safety flare, but those are usually colored. I can't help but think that it meant some kind of surrender in the video. Was it supposed to signal her newfound disinterest? Fucks no longer given? Along with the somber horns playing in the background, in my opinion, that might just be it. Maybe someone can add on that. *Read the tweet, confirmed it's about situations we can't control So, after having my fingers play hopscotch on the keys of my keyboard, does everything sort of make more, or less sense? Does the video connect with you now on a more resonant level? I was reading an article about schizophrenia the other day, and can't help thinking that I might've just talked in circles, but I do know for sure, that the video does make sense when I really think about it, and for the track specifically. Do you have a particular theory that sort of bridges the song and video together that puts you at ease after watching it?

Oh hey, I'm not sure if it's just for me, but I wasn't notified when ya typed this. I know what you mean, but for me I love how intimate it is when an artist just sings in the studio: there's more or less emotion on their face, and the little touches that they sometimes do with their voice, or just how they move. In some ways it's a lot more present than seeing them front row, and a lot more people get to see it. Btw, did u calculate the reply number, or like is there a toggle somewhere that just shows it?

Jamie, the name Jamie.

Lana's got to do a live album performance somehow, like a few videos in the studio singing live or something. Too much beautiful material, it needs to be preserved, best in this way --

U know what, as reluctant as I was before, I'm just gonna say it. Perfect opportunity to have BAR released as a stand alone or even buzz single, emerald city peaches and fooks are ruined. That felt so horrible to say

Thank u, this is golden.

Staahhhp ur giving me expectations

I remember the days when I first listened to her music intently, and she's been like a friend of mine in my head. Got me thru a lot of times and things. Happy birthday angel xo
