Make me your Dream Life

it's been nearly a month and my favorite lyrics/ stand out to me are: "so you say there's a chance, for us?" "do you think about heaven? do you think about me?" "it's like camarillo only silver mirrors runnin down the corridor" "fuck me to death, love me until I love myself" "what you don't really understand, is that I've got magic in my hands, stars in my eyes" "love me if you love enough, you can be my light" I wanna say "callin aquaman to my bedroom, ended up we fucked on the hotel floor" feels a lot more iconic "rhino designer" "infatuated w Adam's son, why are you so fascinated with me?" "fortune teller, favorite ever, that's the story of us" "white noise comin out of my brain, turns off for nothin" "i feel lucky" "probably runnin away from the feelings today, in the snow-capped mountains of the desert" "I don't know anyone else that knows the songs that I sing..." "it's just that I don't trust myself, with my heart- so i had to let it break a little more, cus they say that's what it's for" So much in Fingertips first verse of grandfather, "cus i'm good in spirit, warm-bodied a fallible deity wrapped up in white" "when you know, you know" "like hollywood and me, that diamond on your ring, the soul that you bring to the table" "lately i've been sunnin in the LA riverbed, wearing nothin but the summer bruises on my knees" "I wish I could skinny dip in your mind" "i'm like fuck it dance naked for the neighbors i open up the blinds" "Hands on your knees, I'm Angelina Jolie..." "knife in my jacket, honey on the vine, baby I'll bring the coffee if you bring the wine" "when I'm violent it's Carlito's Way" "spin it til you whip it into whipped cream, baby" "imagine if we actually gave a fuck" the lyricism spins from deep, poignant, to just plain immaculate like polished metal. ---------------- such a solid, active album. btd's energy feels like running or escaping a casino uv's like a seedy underground bar/ studio / motel w great amenities honeymoon' feels aptly like the glamorous world of hollywood and all that that means lfl, modern hollywood woodstock nfr, titanic the film, as well as an art indie cinema film chemtrails, like a lazy day in an opulent garden waiting for that something to feel alive again blue banisters, a funeral of a past self, shedding herself of clothes from a past world and I know that it's just been a month but. in some kind of strange way, I think it might be, i can't articulate it to the exact point but, she feels the most alive and present here. sounds like she's the most awake here, the most present. and i think she does that w the clear instrumentation and her vocals. the photoshoots, the album imagery w the different covers/ visuals. the way candy necklace's video was presented to us, and the meta hollywood star moment. i feel so grateful to be able to be experiencing this, and having albums i've already known of hers beforehand just adds to it. it feels like- like ur being rewarded for coming this far with her music and her journey as an artist. i know that not much is happening at the moment, but i deem it as a pivotal sort of time, experiencing all this art, feelin like life's woven some kind of magic and wonder thru this album and her art. just wow- thank u Lana 💕

a thing i found so profoundly beautiful about this record's how she's very much consoled/healed herself from facets of experiences that she used to sing about. chemtrails, for missteps and facing buried hurt blue banisters, the healing of expectations/ projection, similar to ultraviolence's rage norman rockwell personally, felt like a comeback album that dealt and embodied a careless society, that also reflected her dismissed care and how she felt the need to recover and regain her sense of own self. where honeymoon and lust for life were fixated more about herself and of self, and felt like meta albums of the self, fast forward to this album and we see the woman acknowledging all the feelings she gets, and what more, the very raw and tender expressions of her operating troubles. and instead of translating them in an avoidant way, she envelops them into herself toward painful resolution and healing. blue banisters, personally, felt like a culmination of ultraviolence's starting war cry, in succeeded tone, and subject matter. norman was the catalyst towards healing of generational trauma, and this record, for me, feels like yes, the overall culmination of her career (similar to lust for life's bookmarking of that time), feels like a more wholesomely realized born to die, veined from honeymoon's strong sense of self, and assured identity. she opens the album w floodgate tracks, the grants & the title track the core of self expressed nature in sweet AW where she starts her fun and expression of relief to judah's interlude, to then candy necklace's resolution and epiphany to batiste's interlude of chaotic ecstasy which we then finally get to the core of what matters much more to her, her truer values the guilt in fingertips hits hard to paris texas' message of preservation grandfather's consoling to finally the regaining of self as the album progresses to the point of confident play in the more lighthearted tracks. truly a tunnel w her channeling thru all these memories and experiences, to come back out being a more fulfilled and accomplished self.

We need a studio live performance vid like:

everything's all good, the heart, such a beautiful, honest ballad

Idk how long it’s really been but constant repeat’s just THAT good

energy ENERGY!!

another part of this entire new album just reminds me so much of tropico. not just cus we got another mini film yeah for one song only but, i've been noticing the high importance of the theme of character in this album. and, the dropping of the shallow luxuries, and the numbing quality that it might have. refs to the beverly center, not being able to take anything w you but just memory, the pitfalls of candy necklaces (promises and letting urself be distracted/misled) and other things, in contrast to the simple, but very much profound of having a true friend, cherishing what you already have, and sending concern and warmth to those you love, and building and solidifying meaningful connections not for benefit etc. but bc you're compatible. and preserving yourself from the superficial and the headaches they might want to cause. from this perspective, and i know we all have different levels and backgrounds, but personally for me, this has always been something that i've put focus on in my own life, and thru her music earlier on too, it's always something that i've treasured and not taken for granted, so it's really heartwarming to be able to listen to this record and feel more in tune to this dimension and scope of life. when i think about it more, i'm sure more often than not, we're probably a lot more similar than different fundamentally, and getting back to what's important, at least for me, is always gonna be welcome. different experiences and levels of fun and exploration, but i just love how a personal core value(s) of mine have been highlighted thru this record and i know i say this every album, but i think it's just a part of myself that likes to explore and learn, and this record does that, and makes me feel less strange through it.

Title, discuss! films/ shows/ music/ books, anything really that you think Lana might appreciate.

We need another wig change where she emulates angelina jolie’s lara croft

What I love about this is how she sorta liberates herself from the promises that a lot of people mightve used to string her along. She used what she has on her own terms despite all the bad everyone might’ve hoped towards her, she chose to be herself and found/ made her own path

the video makes me love the song more and the song the video more

completely unrelated and i know i know btd hair yes but her blonde btd hair reminds me of mariah carey

I was in public watching this n I almost teared up. This video’s like BBS’s older sister, and fishtail takes new meaning thru it too. It’s an eerie, beautiful, but eerie video that just further makes me admire her artistry so much. but also, for the women, marilyn, ms. Short and idk who else but. When u think about it, Lana had to really fight to become an artist that others took seriously. And I’m really proud of her and happy for her that she made this video strangely enough despite that one part. Her artistry shines thru, despite all the stuff that the external world’d weathered around her. Wish she released the actual shots edited together, but it lends to the themes and also allure of the video and her artistry and her so I completely get it. W/o the video I thought about how the song themes of landscapes, politics, unhealthy relationships from others but what I love about this video is that it highlights identity, dreams and avoiding pitfalls from those that couldn’t protect themselves in their times. Society can be freaky ya’ll. Lana definitely doesn’t deserve this and I’m glad from a gods and monsters perspective, I’m sure this vid also sheds light on the unfair politics and egos from hollywood/ other possible unsavory sides of an environment etc.
