I don’t have the words to describe how much I have been enjoying the record. She really did what she had to do with every single song. Masterpiece.

"It's a beautiful life, remember that too for me," followed by "When's it gonna be my turn? Don't forget me" in the next track really illustrates this concept of longing for your own contribution to a familial line and legacy. That really moves me, as I'm sure it does so many others – I'm really glad she's exploring the family theme in more detail because it truly is an enriching and rewarding aspect of your life to labour upon.

Aw. I'm here and I appreciate you so much! Hopefully any crises have been averted in the meantime!

The Grants...what an incredibly moving song. I love what she said about making the introduction to the entire record the gospel singers' "beautifully flawed" first take, completely for its symbolism of naturalness. What a wonderful thing to honour in your life's work and art. As for the song itself, there could not be a more fitting sentiment than "I'm gonna take mine of you with me" in regards to the memories we have of our loved ones and what we really should take away from life once we're gone. A beautiful reminder that will perfectly open this record. Stunning vocals, heavenly harmonies, and touching lyrics. <3

Ooooo good catch, I definitely think it’s related

Wait tell us what you think it is (if you can), I’m curious

Remember in late 2021 she said she was focusing on other interests? Citing those interests as a reason for deactivating her IG and even alluding to these interests in her speech at the Variety Awards. Could it be that this mystery interest is related to the announcement?

What could be a “surprise” that’s unrelated to new music or a standard performance at the BBC? I’m thinking maybe some sort of major personal life update OR the launch of an entire new creative endeavour…

I can kind of make out “Here’s my body, I’m available, I’m a ghost now, look how they (you) found (hold) me” - with the words in parentheses being layered?

Don’t worry lol you’re all good! Thank you for answering my question <3

I was thinking this too, it is suspicious. Always be skeptical of people who make claims, but *conveniently* can’t offer evidence to support their claims! Probably just someone who wants to troll - but nonetheless, it would be cool to get a first look at that vinyl variant.

I needed answers, Pinky!! But I answered it myself (much to my own dismay)

So, a girl named Ella works at Target and she told her friend that they received the vinyl at Target. But there are no photos of this vinyl, right? It’s just hearsay for now?

The album was too fire 🔥 The poor Jergins Tunnel couldn’t handle being the titular reference of the 9th studio album by Lana Del Rey!

Hawaiian! Her intercultural serve

All this talk about “Ella” and I’m just thinking about how that’s Spanish for “she”. Her true Lanita moment -

Polish Sock Lady this, Cassette Girl that…but no acknowledgement of the small-town Canadian queen, Lisa, and her prematurely-released Lust for Life CD.

I was listening to the title track last night and I really was so moved by the surge of voices singing “don’t forGET me” towards the end. It is so powerful and honestly such a relatable sentiment. Nobody wants to be forgotten, famous or not. But when you’re at a certain point of your life or when you’ve made your circle of witnesses to your life so small, you can’t help but wonder about our so-called “expiration date”. She’s a genius.

No. Insecurities are loud - so if you have such a visceral tone whenever talking about your ex, that shows you have a lot of inner work to do. You don’t have to talk positively about them, but don’t make it a point to trash someone from your past. Would you date someone who had never been in a relationship (but with whom you really felt a connection)?

Ur so camp I love u

The album is out in 13 days. A new song is out in 3 days. Surely there must be something one could focus on in the next 2 weeks to not let an album release get them all huffed and puffed!

OK I’m not in favour of the album leaking before its official release at all, but let’s not turn on @fl0r1dakil0s when in this same thread, people have been asking for their thoughts. It’s their prerogative if they want to share their thoughts, especially if they’re in spoilers. I haven’t read anything—nor do I intend to—so it really doesn’t make a difference to me whether or not they post a ranking/opinions. I encourage others to take the same line of reasoning

I know someone out there is thinking God bless eastern Europe for always giving us first looks of the vinyl

It’s an edit by @lmdr using one of the Rolling Stone pics!

Every time someone posts “Rosemead exclusive baby” I read it the way Lana sings “crimson and clover, honey”
