Beautiful Loser

She contains multitudes

I feel like I’ve been so distracted all day, thinking of BTD, and now instagram posts, I haven’t done as much as I could’ve done today and I was lazy yesterday and- rip to the start of this semester

Since she’s (mostly) private and keeps the account for fans, I thought she was joking that this was for her “only fans”, like a pun. I found her joke to be hilarious, if it was a joke.

Actually, thinking back to how she published the video for hope all of a sudden and seemed pissed that no one had noticed it makes me worried that she might make an OF account just to use for like a month to tease song snippets and then abandon it

Please, I would die

I wish I loved mine as much as she loves her

I CAN’T WITH HER HUMOR, I’M SCREAMING AND LAUGHING AT THE SAME TIME LMAOOOO

Just need this freaking pandemic to end so Lana will book festivals tour dates again

@Elle Was this at Brixton, because I’m still sad we were so close but didn’t get to say hi.

If I won and didn’t want to keep it, I’d sell it and get some cash

@annedauphine Win something for us babe

I was thinking the same, no hate to BlackPink but why is it so large next to Lana's? But I guess NFR! is even larger so I shouldn't complain

Yes it was just playing on my vinyl! now it's the second half of dark paradise

Blue Banisters or Seventeen going under can win and I'll be happy.

I was 16 when BTD was released but, like I've mentioned before, I didn't listen to it until I was like 17 and a few months later, I'd turn 18. Things were so different 10 years ago, people sold smartphones with like flappy bird installed. .___.

I was just thinking the same thing, so happy to see her be more comfortable now.

I hadn't heard of Lana when Born To Die was released, it would take me a bit longer until I found her and then a little bit more before I understood her music and fell in love. BTD-Paradise was my first Lana album, but I started with Born To Die since I listened from start to end. Discovering Lana and BTD went slowly, I had to give her a few tries before simply, helplessly loving her and her songs. From then after, it's been amazing. Lana was the first western artist I discovered on my own, I was previously just listening to whatever my older brothers were listening to. Lana and her world were mine. Mine to discover, mine to obsess over, mine to lose myself in. I was living a good life, struggling with nothing but my maths grades (and, well, my parent's bad relationship and dad's slowly declining health), so I couldn't relate to her lyrics but I could feel them. I could feel her music, the production. It was like nothing I had heard before, it wasn't just a fun song to elevate your mood, not just a song you heard on the radio and liked for a few weeks. Lana was different. Boy, am I glad that I looked her up on youtube after reading about her in newspapers and seeing her face in every H&M store. Thanks to this album and to Lana, I found comfort when I was alone, a world to dive into, and friends who were there for me when my in-real-life ones seemed to had forgotten about my existance. BTD was executed perfectly. Not a single flaw, not even in her homemade music videos. The end of Summertime Sadness and the "how does meth change our brain?" line in Carmen gave me goosebumps, and I don't think I'll ever forget the scary feelings they gave me the first time as I watched them. I still think the videos for this album are her best ones, and I think I'll continue to think so for a long time. And she just seemed so mysterious back then, like, I couldn't tell if the things she sang about were true or made up, or both, and that just made it all so interesting. I love this album so much, and sure, at times it can sound a bit old in terms of lyrics, but it never gets old. I just know it won't. I seriously can't pick a favorite song off it or even attempt to rank a top 5 list. A phenomenal major-label debut that I will never grow tired of playing. Here's to ten more years of an iconic album!

I didn’t realize how long her hair is :0

Daisy Chains Summer Bummer might not be the best song out there but when you're in the mood for it, it SLAPS

I didn't know the European shop is selling posters Makes me wanna get the blue one with Lana's profile and frame it... but... I shouldn't, I have no place to hang it up... but it's only €6...

I hope she will! But now you've made me wonder if she'll actually do it...

We need to get a cup of real caffe mocha at a café someday or maybe not, I don't really like coffee tbh lol

Me and Lana are on the same vibe line, I put a square of cheap milk chocolate in my instant coffee the other day just to experience what a bad version of caffe mocha would taste like.

Ok, I don't think I had time to write about my thoughts on the album when it was released so I'll stay up tonight to type when down now, song by song! (but if I did write about it previously, here's my updated thoughts on it I guess lol) Text Book Blue Banisters Arcadia Interlude - The Trio Black Bathing Suit If You Lie Down With Me Beautiful Violets for Roses Dealer Thunder Wildflower Wildfire Nectar of the Gods Living Legend Cherry Blossom Sweet Carolina In summary, I think this album is Lana really wanting to be seen and accepted for who she is, that she's trying to accept that not everyone will, and to appreciate the little things in life and her friends and family.

I’ve been wanting to read Rumi’s poems for a long time now, as a way to connect to my roots, so I’m happy to see one of them posted by Lana.
