Beautiful Loser

I gave their first album a listen but it felt a bit abstract, it sounded to me like all the songs were remixes. They sounded nice but I couldn’t get a grip of them. So I put on Women in music pt III instead and I like it a lot more!

You’re beautiful, I hope you haven’t read the shit online right now and if you have, I’m so sorry there are people out there who has such horrible opinions on someone else’s look. I love you, stay strong. <3

Her book tour would only be in LA and San Fran though, we all know it.

Oh ffs

Also, I tried to listen to the final seconds of linoleum to hear her final words. I can hear her echoing "they love my stories" but not what she says after that. Does anyone know?

I listened to it all last night, will go for a second (or third?) round now, but wooooowwww it was a lot better than I thought! And some of them sounded pretty spooky! I truly enjoyed listening to this, can't wait to read the book as well and try to understand her thoughts. Now I just need to make up my mind if I should get the cream white vinyl or the green one, haha..!

Ok, pure speculation here but: Lana was an alcoholic in her teens. Maybe Patty, her mom, had heard that it's important to change the environment of addicts and proposed that they'd send her to boarding school. Maybe her mom was more persistent on the idea that it was the best thing for her daughter and Lana couldn't forgive her for sending her away. "Can I come home now?" "No." There's maybe some deeper things going on too. Maybe my mind is spiraling and is making up a fan fiction story, I dunno. Or maybe it's just "Can I come home now?" as in desperately wanting a comforting place to live. I'll stop now lol.

Wait, maybe "can I come home now?" is just to show her desperation for a home? She's described herself as a "chameleon soul", mentioned that she tried to find her people but never did, she moved to LA but didn't feel like she belonged there at first... Maybe she's still trying to fit in and find a place where she's accepted, find people who care for her.

I didn't think of U2 songs but you're right, they definitely have a similarity there in what they're trying to say with their lines.

Holy shi- What if "can I come home now?" was something she used to ask her parents when she was at boarding school?? :poordat:

She just had to mention Yosemite to mess with us, didn't she?

I'm shook. I remember not liking the early poems very much but lately, they've floored me. Whew.

Land of a thousand fires is surely about LA as well.

I'm starting to wonder if she likes to call her boyfriends her husbands as a joke or to daydream what it'd be like to have a husband and domestic life.

I wanna hear the ending so bad!!

Pull yourself together, you'll hear everything soon. It's not worth losing your job. ♥

I hear sax too

Omg what is this, I- I did not expect this. "I'm an orphan" If she really means it, she must have felt really alone and unimportant to her family or her parents sometime, or maybe it's just her mom. I can hear the sadness, confusion and frustration when I'm reading this. And even thought I can never understand what she's feeling, she somehow makes it very easy to understand what she's trying to say. I really like this poem!

I keep replaying that preview omg I hear "I love sax" though?

She speaks so fast, I didn't expect that. Ayyyyy I'm so excited to hear it all!

omg I'm so excited now

Shit. I didn't expect the LA poem to be like that. Poor Lana sounds mad and frustrated. I like it though! Can't wait to hear her read it.

Maybe... I should finally preorder the album now, haha... I keep forgetting to do it.
