    I have a few :P

     

    - Honeymoon is better than UV. LFL and BTD are also better than UV. I still love UV though, its just my least favourite.

     

    - Without You and Lucky Ones are amazing songs.

    I agree to both but the first one to an extent. I really dislike L4L. Lol. But if it didn't exist, UV would be my least liked. To me it's Honeymoon, Born To Die, Ultraviolence and then L4L. 

     

    Anyways, I'm gonna extend on that opinion: it's underwhelming. Not even the best songs are that good. I don't hate it but... yeah. I think the only songs that have aged nicely since 2017 are TNC,  Change and BPBP.

    God, I wish I was a fan back during the BTD era, by the way people talk about it and remember it, it just seems so exciting and amazing to have been able to witness her rise to fame. I like reading some threads on here and ATRL from those years and just seeing how excited people were for her music. the Lust For Life era was pretty exciting compared to Honeymoon. Well at least the beginning. During the time she released the WM video and after she just let the era completely die.

    I was really hoping she would put some effort into this era, because it seemed like everything was planned out correctly during the time she released Venice Bitch and MAC, and then... well here we are months later... still waiting for the damn album or at least some news about it. I really hate that she teased songs like Cinnamon only for her to be taking this long to release anything. I love her but she pisses me off.

    God it was suuuuuuch a time! I have vivid memories of seeing the videos being released, one by one, ugh, I'd love to go back and live it again knowing full well I wouldn't ever see someting like that. LOL. Oh those were the days. I feel like a old lady saying this but I remember when Tropico premiered and I get all emotional. How long have you been listenin to her?

    Yeah, same. Tbh the l4l era was a mess. And her approach to it was underwhelming. 

    Same x2, but then again we get mad and this is just a complete Lana typa behavior. Oh well, what can we do... I'm mad tho bc I can't live off only those songs. Momma pls feed me I'm hungies. HUMILLIATING.......

    One of my favorite bands. They're from LA, California. Lana once posted a video of them with the caption "Transfixed by Warpaint" which is... a great description of the effect they have. Had the privilege to see them for free when they came to Argentina in 2015. Their first EP, produced by John Frusciante, was published in 2008. They've been a band since 2005, though, and are currently recording their new album!

     

    Super talented girls. Their voices are heavenly. I'll leave some of my favorite songs, in case you want to give them a listen. If you already do, let's discuss!

     

    Billie Holiday

    Beetles

    Burgundy

    New Song

    So Good
    Keep it Healthy

    Feeling Alright

    Whiteout

    Disco//Very

    Love is to Die

     

    Hope you enjoy!

    I'll say this once and I'll say it again: Lana's lazy now.

     

    She doesn't care about her visuals or her image (i.e. outfits, interviews, candids, selfies, etc) as she did during the BTD era because she was trying to prove herself at that point. She had been fighting for over 10 years trying to make it, and once she got signed, she wanted to build her fanbase and prove her worth and now that she's done that, she's taken a backseat and it's beyond annoying.

     

    Yeah IDK. I mean she can do whatever she wants but I do get it and it kind of annoys me too, but what can we do, it's obvious she wants to turn into a hermit artist, like Captain Beefheart or whatever. I guess she's also over it, she just doesn't care anymore. I do get you tho, just the other day I was looking at candids in 2012/13, like that one shirt that says Raisin' Hell, oh, god, that was such a cool street style but at the end it's not Elizabeth and it's obvs she's not 'Lana' anymore.

     

    I did hate like pretty much every fashion choice she has done for LA to the Moon, tho. She did use some BEAUTIFUL dresses that I'd buy if I was famous and rich as she is. But like, those mismatched outfits, dear Jesus... It's awful. It's weird because I loved pretty much everything she used in the other tours, always loved her color choices. But I don't really care that much about the fashion choices or candids though, some are just... awful, I don't like the make up nor the hair either but that's kind of secondary now that I think abt it. The "laziness" is crazy when performing. Seems to me that she's not that happy doing that anymore, I feel like she likes that people are having a good time and that's about it. 

     

    I hope I don't come off as rude, although I might be. I'd hate it if someone was judging my fashion choices or make up like this, but I am wearing a hoodie backwards and mismatched socks.

    This might sound cringe but I don’t take this definition too seriously myself but I think that line addressses how much she’s changed over the years from being his daughter to this extremely popular celebrity figure.

     

    “Hello, it’s the most famous woman you know on the iPad.” Unlike Lana, Rob and Lana’s family are ordinary people for the most part so this line is a nod to her celebrity status. I agree with you, I think she’s being literal about how she’s probably the most famous woman they know when they FaceTime.

     

    “Calling from beyond the grave, I just wanna say ‘hi dad.’”

    Maybe she feels that she’s changed so much from her past self that she kind of considers that part of her self dead (which is why she says she’s calling from beyond the grave). I interpret the “hi dad” bit as a way of her reminding him that she’ll always be his daughter despite all the fame, money, etc. I can see how this line is personal because Lana rarely addresses family/overly personal topics in her music but it kind of forces the listener to see her as a person in the sense that she’s somebody’s daughter, sister, etc and not just LDR.

     

    I'm crying... I was just thinking it was some weird lyric lol. Now I'm sad!

    however, my fav line of the era is:

     

    WHO I AM IS A BIG TIME BELIEVER THAT PEOPLE CAN CHANGE

     

    :defeated: a poet

     

    same!

     

    hi :) I've finally been able to sign up! (thanks again) actually been going through this thread for a few months now. i'd like to weigh in with the favorite lyrics so far! i actually like them, haha, i know it's not like... her best work relating to lyrics, but she's channeling her inner joni mitchell + obvs leonard cohen and i like it. i also loved the poems. i'm happy she's happy and i'm still super hyped abt it, although i do agree w the impatience.

     

    mac: i think this is my favorite, lyrically wise. i loved it so much when it came out, i couldn't believe it after the mess that l4l is. such an underwhelming project really (in my opinion, of course). does anyone listen to the smashing pumpkins here? the intro made me get  mellon collie and the infinite sadness (album as a whole) vibes, also thanks to the sea visuals:

    You lose your way, just take my hand / You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again / Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am

    ugh, i love it.

     

    this is how to disappear: i liked this one so much too! I know he's in over his head but I love that man nobody can / he moves mountains and turns them to ground again

     

    venice bitch: love the frusciante inspired guitars. i really do. this is like a dream come true for me, lol. i do find some parts cringey but hey, she's like that. i love the one dream one life one lover. and this: If you weren't mine, I'd be Jealous of your love

     

    hope is a dangerous thing etc. etc.: Writing in blood on your walls / 'Cause the ink in my pen don't look good in my pad

     

    other than that, I love the first verse of cinnamon, really. wow. in your car doesn't really stand out from what we've heard and happiness is a butterfly has never been of my taste.

    God. Hi. I'm new, and a hater:

    I can't stand the dancers. Never will. What's up with them? It annoys me so much, they add absolutely nothing to her and it make a no sense to have them there... those moves are always so awkward. And I know you can dance to her songs, it's possible... but WHY?? I can't believe it! If they were at least back up SINGERS like that's even more fitting that just teo girls dropping on the floor during cherry with a turned off microphone. I hope she ends it soon bc it's annoyed me so much. Ultimate cringe.

    Also hate p much all her performances from the l4l era. Wish she'd sing for once. Also, l4l is a forgettable act. Not even the best songs are that good.
