Beautiful Loser

My own copy finally arrived today! The poster was a nice surprise, I had forgotten it’d be included.

Maybe we should sacrifice our biggest competitors to raise our chances of winning a Lipster award. An award plus an unreleased song, doesn’t sound too bad.

Elle is a dupe for @admin!

Should it have been higher up? Definitely, but I’m glad it got a spot on the list.

Hoping for an extended version one day because this was so fun and pretty

In no particular order... My list of outstanding lyrics written by miss Del Rey. hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it I think this song was very important for Lana and her fans to hear. Never give up. There will be lows, but you can't give up. I love the ending with Jack praising her, it's like a little hidden gem. kintsugi Grief, funerals, and family. I don't know what else to say than it's truly beautiful and it makes me want to cry every time I hear it. Losing someone is part of life and it can break you, but by having these experiences, I think, makes you eventually grow as a human, seeing joy in things you hadn't before. The hurt doesn't go away, it's part of you, like the cracks of a porcelin bowl. fingertips Never before have I heard a song sung so beautifully with lyrics written about depression like this song does. The first time I heard it was in a record store with the shittiest stereos ever so I barely heard the words but when I put on my headphones at the time of the release, sometime past midnight... wow. It could come across as "all over the place" with how Lana sings about her failed attempt to drown, her uncle's death, her relationship with her mother and the sea. But. It's almost like she's rambling and it somehow makes a lot of sense when the song touches topics like those, a thought just enters and leaves and the next one enters instead. It's grief. It doesn't have to make sense, but we understand her perfectly. Sweet Touching her innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the future, family, and children, while also being a bit sassy and letting the listener know she's far from basic? Beautiful. Off To The Races The entire song is like opening a fiction novel and just getting swept away. The way she portrays herself and her lifestyle, her "old man", that she'd do anything for him despite the bad things she knows he's doing... Chef's kiss. This song is simply 10/10 and it wouldn't be without the fun lyrics. Mariner's Apartment Complex Just beautiful how she tells the listener who she really is, and how she'll always be there for them, and ending it with the question, can you deal with me now that you know who I am? Are you ready for all that I am? Can you accept me? Blue Banisters I have the impression that the song isn't very popular here on LB but, for me, I love the story telling. It starts like a book, how she's heartbroken and won't really admit it to her friends, tells the reason why and what happened, about unfulfilled promises and hopes for the future, and how she eventually will be okay because she has friends to accompany her while she heals. I think that's beautiful. Yay, friendship! A&W Loss of innocence, the promise that we all one day will find our big, true love and what it feels like when that promise isn't happening to you, the forced indifference you tell yourself just to deal with it... How Jimmy will never be the one so she finds another Jimmy, and it's fine if she's crazy and mad by telling his mom he's a loser, because she knows she can get another Jimmy soon anyway. The circle that never ends. I think this song can be interpreted differently depending on who you are and how you read between the lines and how she delivers them in the song. I don't think I'll get over it anytime soon. Sweet Carolina It makes me wanna ugly cry lol, it's the sweetest song I've heard. I think of my sister in law whenever I hear it, and the time she was pregnant with my nephew. Norman Fucking Rockwell Sassy Lana at her best lol! She's smarter than this guy she's with and he hasn't noticed that yet. Still, she stays with him... until she finds someone better? Maybe? Might not be the nicest thing to do to another person as it might give them false hope but, oh well. I'll probably regret some of my choices in the future haha, she's too good!

New single is out! 何色でもない花 (A Flower of no Color)

This sounds promising

I’m so out of loop with this, is this an original song or a cover?

I heard 16 carriages on radio like an hour or so ago

Country roads is just a plain piano, and Henry sounded very simple in its instrumental too. Based on what we’ve heard so far, I doubt we’ll get Kasey Musgraves or The Chicks kind of production. I bet the album will sound very “Lana” with its minimal and/or quiet production.

omg this looks even worse

The most beautiful, gorgeous sisters in the world

16 carriages was beautiful

Waiiiitttt March is next month, I’m not ready!

Portrait of a dead girl is so stunning, and the lyrics are great! I love on your side as well, taste! I hope I’ll get my vinyl soon, just waiting for the paper slip to arrive telling me to pay for customs.

Ahaha the Spotify visual playing in the background when you listen to Texas Hold ‘em is Beyonce styled in the black and silver looks she had for act I! That’s cool, I thought she’d be styled differently for this second act. Country definitely isn’t my type of music but this is like popped up in Beyonce’s style so I don’t hate it. I can already see radio playing it in a day or two, or maybe today already, and I can see myself vibing to it when it does. Eeeee so exciting!

WHAT HAVE I MISSED??

They’re both so gorgeous

This was just posted, it seems to a video or documentary of some sorts about Tamino's writing process for his second album.

What I really want is to hear Lana play with her accent, like she did in the early stage(s) of her career. Like, how she had a New York accent for songs like You can be the boss, or a southern accent for some of her other songs. I think that could be cool if she's going country!

Wait wait wait, hold on... We might be onto something here...! Which film director was it?

I honestly do, I’ve seen some comments with ironic or sarcastic undertones but several seem genuine to me? Yeah, I wouldn’t want to comment something discouraging to someone who’s excited about their work.
