To me, Honeymoon was the last great (and the greatest) thing we got from her. The later releases don't hit the note for me but there are songs I like and I adore her nevertheless. It's just my personal opinion. I miss those days my past is not something I like to remember, but what I'd give to go back to 2012-2015 to listen to that music for the first time again... ♥️ Still got a Lust For Life tattoo on my body anyways. 

I think this is one of the weaker things she ever done, but glad we got a cute video. I just find her singing weirdly flat and corny and am confused as to why she didn’t use her gorgeous jazz vocals a la honeymoon & the other woman/the good life instead…

so today at work (i work at a coffee shop) and in West Hollywood, & i was wearing my NFR album tshirt, and this regular customer was like “oh i love your tshirt, i just saw her at pavilions (grocery) a few days ago”
& i was shook & had to know the details …
anyways he told her he loved Norman & she responded “oh thank you , im working on some new music and it’s crazy” …
and he told her how her music and gagas helped him come out the closet and she also mentioned how her current man she’s dating is fluid sexually which i thought was super cool. anyways just thought i’d share she described it to him as “crazy” i asked if he pried more but he said he was nervous af! ldr9 crazy era ?

If we ignore Ben's comments the timeline of this album makes so much sense:
- She told us she had some songs she loved in the BB release livestream (October)
- She allegedly said the next album is even better in December
- In May we got some details about an album that's in the works. With how she talked about it it seemed that she had a clear concept and quite a lot of songs already but it was still untitled (something weird for Lana) so it was probably not fully finished. Maybe she recorded a lot of stuff and she wasn't sure what was going to make it into the record.
It would make sense for it to come out sometime early next year if we account for the finishing touches + vinyl production.
Insider silence also makes sense considering she probably hasn't done any official label stuff yet.
 
And now for my delulu theory which I'm always going to include
 

My mom actually giving birth to me instead of aborting 

re: ethel cain, it's hilarious to me how she'll get really defensive whenever someone points out the obvious ldr influence in her music / aesthetic (like the pitchfork review of her album which was, lbr, on point) but won't resist inserting herself in the current ldr discourse in a ~i won't be outdone, but make it ironic~ sorta way, thus proving lana truly lives in her mind rent free

I didn’t see NFR! as a ‘somewhat radical change,’ but as a blander version of her previous catalog and a capitulation to the critics. 

As much as I was disappointed with Chemtrails and BB as their own separate projects, I will say I’ve been able to make a playlist out of my favorite songs for them that does fill a void in my Lana listening universe that otherwise wasn’t filled. Mainly it’s calm, intimate, gentle, lowkey, melancholic songs that aren’t as intense as her other music. It feels like a modern more elaborate version of Sirens, which was my calm Lana album before these two. 

I really like Tori Amos' references to the band in her songs. The ones I can remember off the top of my head are:
 
"I remember
Yes
In my peach party dress
No one dared
No one cared
To tell me
Where the pretty girls are
Those demigods
With their nine-inch nails" (Precious Things) https://youtu.be/Croz1_USr3U
 
 
And I think this one was definitely written for Trent:
 
"Dreamed a little dream
Made my own pretty hate machine
Boys on my left side
Boys on my right side
Boys in the middle and you're not here" (Caught A Lite Sneeze) https://youtu.be/iHVbCmd7ZcU
 
 
Also, there's Mr. Zebra which is rumored to be about Trent's affair with Courtney Love:
 
"Hello, Mr. Zebra
Ran into some confusion with a Mrs. Crocodile, -dile, -dile
Furry mussels marching on
She thinks she's Kaiser Wilhelm
Or a civilized syllabub
To blow your mind"  (Mr. Zebra) https://youtu.be/kiVJsl6gUFw
 
Probably there's much much more.
 
 

🙏 all hail the titty 🙏

It's so interesting to read your thoughts on this! I'm super glad I'm on a site where I can freely express what I feel towards Lana. I've been on here since 2017 and it's beautiful. Anyways:
Every time I listen to Born to Die, I remember the first time I listened to it. It was 2012 and a girl from my school sent me the video link through Facebook DMs and it was so beautiful. I was mesmerized. She sounded like nothing I had ever heard and she looked like the most beautiful woman in the world , her gesture, her elegance, the expression in her eyes. I fell in love with her music and lyrics and with the English language in general because of this song.
It's still the first song I put on when I want to listen to Lana and there are no words to explain what she has made me feel through these ten years of admiration. I remember when she came to my country the first time and I couldn't attend and I sobbed and sobbed, I was so sad.
When she was about to drop LFL, I was in a very toxic relationship and my ex also made fun of me for loving Lana... That made me very self conscious about my love for her and he made me feel stupid because of it. We broke up right after Lust for Life dropped so she was my companion through that time.
Truth is, her music has been by my side during my teenage years and now in my adulthood and I look at her and think that if she can go through life while experiencing those thoughts and moods she talks about in her music, I can go through mine; it feels weird because I've taken her words as mirrors and advice and as mottos and...  anyways, it's nice to see her grow and when I look back in time I get all emotional because I also have a parasocial relationship with her and it's funny because she's closer to my mom's age than she is to mine.
