Beautiful Loser

I don't really like LFL tho :3

"In the middle is perhaps this great album’s greatest segment. A minor-key folk song that doesn’t bother trying to be anything but, Yosemite dates back to sessions for Del Rey’s 2017 album, Lust for Life, but embodies this album’s concern with craft. “We did it for fun, we did it for free,” she sings of her work, in one of Del Rey’s best vocals to date."

I only know that they'll do like a handful of festival tour stops. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna miss their Sweden debut because I a) am not vaccinated yet and b) don't wanna spend so much money on a festival ticket, the line up isn't that great anyway.

I'd love to travel to Dublin around Christmas and see them live, but I have a feeling it'll be difficult to get tickets since it's their home, haha. I've always wanted to revisit Ireland again ever since I my school trip in 2014, Wicklow Mountains had such beautiful nature. I didn't want to leave because it was already spring there and I still had snow in Sweden lol. x) Oh, also, I saw their limited single vinyls in their webshop. For some strange reason they won't show up on their shop's first page. At the moment, you can only order a vinyl for It won't always be like this/Oklahoma. https://www.inhaler.band/cope-catalog/it-wont-always-be-like-this-limited-7/ https://www.inhaler.band/cope-catalog/falling-in-limited-blue-7/ https://www.inhaler.band/cope-catalog/we-have-to-move-on-ice-cream-sundae-limited-7/ I've checked my local record store's website this past week and they haven't updated their Inhaler stuff, so I don't think they'll sell a CD unless you ask them to order one for you. So I think I'll buy from the official webshop instead and get the CD and colored vinyls at the same time.

@Elle I don't think I've read your thoughts on the album? Have you already shared them?

Oh, right, tour dates were announced some day ago. I'm glad to see the dates are in late 2021 so the band, hopefully, won't have to reschedule. Interesting that there's only one London night...!

This is really cool, the ultimate confirmation that they know about LanaBoards.

The jazzy outro drum in Chemtrails makes me hope for an album sounding a bit more jazz.

Nice signature!

This reminds me of that one user who joined LB mid-(post?) NFR and read through the entire pre-release thread

I’m ready for another day of streaming Yosemite for like eight hours.

Oh, I’m not mad about it, I thought it was beautiful. The blonde wig was just a thought I had.

I honestly forgot that a LMLYLAW music video existed so I guess that the worst one of hers for me. I just wonder why they put the Lana substitute in a dark wig when she’s singing about being 19 in a white dress, wouldn’t it make more sense to let her wear a blonde wig? It was a cute video though, even with Lana’s broken arm.

I was super excited to see Lana on the TV culture news but of course the reviewer only mentioned her controversies (“only white people on the cover!! And who are we listening to, which persona is this, Lana or Lizzy Grant???”) and she only spoke two sentences about her thoughts on the album. Basically “she sings prettily” and “I liked the album”. Okay. Why don’t you talk more about the album then? Ugh, I was so glad to see her on TV and then that old reviewer lady had to ruin it all.

Don't think so.

Someone @ me when you've figured out what Jack says in the background

I keep thinking how Not all who wander sounds like an unreleased song we would find out five years after it got recorded. I'm so grateful it's on this album.

Ok I'm done window shopping, that was cute. Much better than just having one single pop up store exclusive to LA.

I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS OMG IT'S SO CUTE

Radio station interviewed two Lana stans and didn't think of reaching out to me, how rude. They also played an edit of White Dress, but I don't know it's a radio edit? Possibly their own edit? Hard to tell, but it was definitely shorter than the album track. Oh okay, both the stans they interviewed were probably picked because they mentioned Lana in their new poetry book and the other quoted a song in their novel or whatever. I guess being a mod at the biggest fan forum isn't enough.

Still can't believe I've had Yosemite for like 7 hours now. It's surreal. It's too beautiful.

Want me to change it to the post-release thread?

So I took my shower. And I opened the window afterwards and just stared at nothing for five minutes straight as Yosemite played. Yes, it made me cry again. This song is just too beautiful. It’s too sweet. Whoever she sings about in this song is so very lucky, I’d die if I got a song like this dedicated to me. I can’t really describe it well but I really, really love this song. A lot. Like shit, those high notes and the way she sings every word so sweetly. I love the “seasons will change, but we won’t change” lines. All the seasons lines, actually. And the “and then I was thinking, how deep was the canyon you came from?”, it’s a very beautiful was to describe someone coming from rock bottom to where they are today. This song is a career highlight and she was right to keep it for herself until now. This is the record it belongs to, she finally found a home for it. Class starts in fifteen minutes and I don’t want to leave this song for three hours, I want to keep it on repeat forever and dream away. I’ll tag @salvatore so they won’t miss this. I love you, friend. <3

Fingers crossed we buy more physical copies than Beliebers

Tulsa Jesus Freak makes me want to become a Christian and join this fucked up cult she’s in.
