That was really special, you could tell how much it meant for her to talk to some fans after the craziness of the chickens and paparazzi today.

It feels so surreal to see Lana singing Living Legend in 2021

This has been so interesting and insightful to watch - and to think, we have a new live performance in 2 hours too!

The way she said, "Hi, this is Lana Del Rey" - I love her lol

She is so sweet asking fans questions about themselves! I'd be like, "girl, this is about you, let me do the asking!"

@Elle she mentioned you!

She is glowing! <333

I feel like Honeymoon and Blue Banisters speak to each other in some respect. There is the more visible synergy between Ultraviolence and Blue Banisters, but Honeymoon and Blue Banisters are both – in my opinion – Lana's most deliberate self-examinations. Honeymoon is more abstract and sensory in its reflection, whereas Blue Banisters is more lyrically dense and empirical. These are shaping up to be my top two favourites

Wishing I were there but so excited for everyone who's going! The set-up looks amazing. I love when she does these little pop-ups because they're like fun, visual mini-worlds

I am just so obsessed with this record – it is arranged so beautifully, it is so classic in feeling, it has sophistication, grace, and maturity. The lyrics are perfect all-around. Everything I love about an album. I imagine it will become my absolute favourite.

Hehe let’s do it, the power of you and me

Aw, thank you!! I was really proud of that title lol

I read what you wrote about feeling blue and how it led you to posting what you were posting on here, and yes, people have said their piece about that –– but I felt like at your core, you were just looking for some connection, and now you can have that without pretending to be an insider! Be you!

I bought it on iTunes and it sounds very crisp and clear to me — all the little details are quite audible. I’d recommend it!

The yellow vinyl looks absolutely gorgeous in the pictures people have posted online. 💛 I love how it’s a bit translucent and has this matte look to it! And of course, the sleeves and jacket and gatefold are beautiful. It’s definitely one of my favourite LP designs she’s done, if not my favourite. Can’t wait to receive mine!

I love how classically-arranged this record is. Arcadia and Violets for Roses are so pastoral with their strings and choral soundscapes. The piano on Beautiful and Sweet Carolina is almost impressionistic and reminds me a lot of Debussy. There is just so much I love about this album. I need to save my thoughts for some longer posts about the record’s narrative pieced together + the actual musicianship that accompanies that narrative!

Well, it’s been 3 hours since Blue Banisters came out and I’ve listened to it twice, and all I have to say is…..wow. She really continues to outdo herself. This record is full of lyrical and sonic layers that I know I have yet to unravel — the songwriting is just phenomenal, you listen to it and almost run a visual play in your head of Lana’s life story. The lyrical density of this record has been a long time coming, and I’m so glad she went all the way for it. I see exactly what her vision was for this record and it’s really satisfying to see it fully-realized with older and newer songs that, together, work beautifully to paint a thoughtful self-portrait. I’m completely floored and overwhelmed in the best way possible and will have more coherent, analytical thoughts after a few more listens. But all I know right now is that I’m so in love with this record and it’s absolutely one of her best

Bye everyone! See you soon! <3

10 minutes!

You know what, in retrospect, as this thread lives its last half an hour or so — say what you want about @arcadialovesong2018 but they were always so polite to me (???) - if you’re reading this, I appreciate it, you are very kind!!

No, we have 1 more too! 9 PM for us west coasters!

Me when I’m Lana Del Rey on a John Deere filming a music video in my backyard for the title track of my eighth studio album

Me driving to work tomorrow listening to Blue Banisters and pretending my car is a John Deere

It’ll be out for us at 9!
