The Diana title - our minds! I had this on my vinyl concepts from August! Manifesting this, I would LOVE to hear Lana pay homage to Lady Diana! <3 amazing work.

Love your list! Here’s mine: 1. Venice Bitch 2. Honeymoon 3. West Coast 4. Mariners Apartment Complex 5. Shades of Cool 6. Ride 7. Video Games 8. Hope is a Dangerous Thing... 9. Terrence Loves You 10. The Greatest 11. Born to Die 12. California 13. Pretty When You Cry 14. Heroin 15. Bartender 16. Music to Watch Boys to 17. The Blackest Day 18. God Knows I Tried 19. Change 20. Ultraviolence 21. Off to the Races 22. Gods & Monsters 23. Cherry 24. Salvatore 25. American

So excited for this, just as much as I’ve been for her records. I really feel that the poetry has brought us a lot closer into Lana’s inner world, which is a real blessing to even have her share with us!

Lana deserves all the happiness and all the love she can get and I hope she has found it <3 sending her and her loved ones good thoughts as always

Ooh, can’t wait to see her next nail colour! And add it to my timeline

Such a tough one Honeymoon vs. Life is Beautiful

In the meantime - if you ignore something it can’t hurt you! How many songs does everyone think COTCC will have? I feel like it could be no less than 13, but no more than 18 - I’m thinking 14 or 15 most realistically, maybe with one interlude that’s either a shorter song or a poem? Hoping it’s a poem tbh because I love Lana’s poetry and like @past the bushes said, BN worked so well on HM. To have it be Lana’s original writing would be amazing!

The way your profile picture accurately describes how everyone in this thread feels right now

Don’t worry, you won’t! *Rose McGowan voice* We got you

Moments like these are when I’m grateful that @IanadeIrey has i’s instead of L’s

Shades of Cool vs. Venice Bitch

Does anyone think not slandering Lana on her own site is a good thing? I love Lana Del Rey, I think she’s a really interesting artist.

I know right! September 2018 feels like forever ago and it seems so surreal to think that the book is finally coming! And to think that Behind the Iron Gates is (still hopefully) slated for release in March! I love her poetry and it’s just so amazing to be able to experience it!

I’m so excited for this that I can’t even explain it! The poetry books are just as exciting of a release to me as the records! <3

I try to keep it classy so lemme tell you I’m being real when I say it took me a second to be good with typing that up!

Waiting for someone to say how ironic is it that a radio station called BBC was the COCC-block...

I would love for this to be COTCC related, and I agree with the demographic and performances 100%, but I feel like since Violet is coming out the next day and she’s talking about that still, and she hasn’t even released a single or mentioned the album all too much, it seems more likely, but I would love to be proven wrong! <3 regardless, I’m excited because new Lana content and interviews is always a win!

Yes! I gotta wake up at 4 AM to hear this

I mean, they’re pretty much treating VBBOTG like a regular album - it was submitted to the Grammys, it got the vinyl/CD/cassette treatment, and technically, Jack did produce music for it, so it kind of qualifies as a performative spoken-word musical art piece. And they’re probably doing promotion to coincide with the physical book release so people will be reminded of the audiobook that’s already been out for a minute, to boost sales. It’s good business and I personally am excited! She’ll probably be interviewed about it too, which is so amazing because the poetry is Lana at her most intimate and raw IMO!

I think it will be Violet with a mini interview tbh. The audiobook is 33 min long, so she’ll probably read that live and then they’ll probably cut it up with Interview segments between every few poems so that’ll fill 45 min. Kinda like the HM BBC session that aired when HM came out. It just doesn’t make sense for her to premiere 45 min worth of new songs with no single or formal announcement. But I’d love to be proven wrong! Here’s to hoping LMLYLAW and TJF will be sung! <3

Let’s all be respectful and understand that everybody is entitled to their boundaries and is entitled to speak on their own behalf of things like phobias, trauma, and other empirical beliefs! And let’s also understand that people have differing tastes that have nothing to do with the aforementioned things, all of which are valid if expressed respectfully and aren’t direct attacks on anyone! <3 all love here!

I think the pearled gloves and heels combo is over the top on purpose - it’s a performance art that just further supports the commentary of the album title. It’s meant to make us feel things - pleased, confused, shocked, disgusted, etc. I love them for their campiness and overdone glamour tbh and it seems to be working so well based on the divided reaction (even if it triggers tripophobia which sucks )!

Looks amazing!

The combined serves from all her stories from the last 24 hours God is real and her name is Lana Del Rey.

Gorgeous! Love her diamonds and the fact that she kept the glam from today’s shoot! <3
