Beautiful Loser

Ok I’ve read like the past 18-19 pages and I still don’t know where kintsugi or burn me where you belong comes from. Musicbrainz too?

I wish some influencer would bother me while I’m out and ask what I’m listening to just so I get the chance to say “Grandfather, please stand over the shoulders of my father while he’s deep sea fishing on Lana Del Rey’s album Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd”.

Thank you so much!

Cool. Do you know when this was? When he spilled all he info a few days ago in the other thread, the one about how Lana works on her albums? I’ve been too busy to catch up this past week.

Kintsugi is the art of repairing broken porcelain with gold, right? I can picture Lana being intrigued by that and make some connection to herself, like the tunnel.

PLEASE LANA tell me you’re joking LMAOOO Is it bad that I can see her naming a song that? I can kinda believe it lmao, but I don’t like it. Thanks, can’t wait to see that you’re right once the tracklist has been revealed.

Wait, what grandfather song??

Thank you! I've been thinking of trying to record it again as soon as this semester is done! I got a cold, and then I got busy, and then I just traveled home for the holidays, I don't really want to record myself unless I'm completely alone, haha.

I’ve submitted my votes! Good luck to all nominees, and thanks for nominating me too, I appreciate the big eyes for best artist nomination a lot! It was really difficult to decide who and what to vote for this time, can’t wait for the results on the award night!

I nomiated you... better luck next year!

Nooo, takeitdoen is such a perfect username for a mod!

Look at all the noms you got!

Is it too late to add 4 772 spam nominations to drama of the year?

ok I'll leave this thread before I look like a newbie who knows nothing and I have unfinished uni assignments waiting *sobs*

Right?? And people said it was fake, I wouldn't believe them.

Has anyone asked about Ave Maria? I'm 100% convinced a version with Lana's singing exists somewhere out there, that track is too beautiful and haunting for her to not sing on it!

I need a masterpost on this thread. Edit: thank goodness I saw this comment, thank you @ImenaOphelia for leaving a link!

30+ pages in the last 24 hours, it's time for me to give up any hope I had on catching up on this thread.

What did boz say, I’ve went back seven or so pages and haven’t seen anything? Edit: ah it was in another thread, never mind then

I’d argue that she is. She’s different with her whisper-y approach, that’s all. But like someone else mentioned earlier too, kinda weird how no rappers are on the list. Since RS isn’t counting lyrics or songwriting to the list, how to deliver lines feels so important and that’s something rappers an hip-hoppers have to consider, right?

Billie Eilish is a big artist, especially to younger kids and I’m certain her music has inspired other musicians - just look at this Eurovision artist who performed a song many thought resembled Billie - but she’s only been an artist for... what, five-six years? And she’s still young, so her artistry will definitely develop into something else in the future, but we haven’t seen much of that yet. I think it’s too early to add her to this list, there’s no doubt she’s popular now and has been for a couple of years, but it’s too early to speak about "originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the breadth of their musical legacy" like the magazine says the list is based on. I don’t listen to her music so I can’t really be a judge, but I wouldn’t say she has a large depth of catalog from the things I’ve heard. (Maybe that’s one of the reasons she’s so low on the list though. Maybe she’s included because she won all those Grammys.)

ah, I should've nominated picosong for something

If anyone need some last-minute suggestions, I nominated these for the awards at the end of the nomination link:

I've finally voted!

Oh, I recognize her name even though I wasn't listening to her music. :3
