He stood up and paused staring silently under the stars He is a nocturnalist, chasing dreams is just the price he pays And the haloed Hollywood sign is staring back at him in praise Every night before, the velvet dark sky was void of any light or life Hateful now under the bleak haze of gazing Hollywood, plugged bright For sequinned stars on silver screens whose smiles wore plight

Feeling like Jared, 19 rn…

This thread is so not a vibe today!

OK but the real question is — which tour did they get tickets to?

Chemtrails is perfect to listen to as the summer gets cool one of my favourite albums ever.

The way she deactivated her accounts to serve as an allegory of Arcadia and how the public shut her down last year…but then reactivated to represent her resilience and is now about to drop Black Bathing Suit, the revenge single exploring her liberation of femininity.

Queen of doing whatever she wants whenever she wants

Omg yes! Thank you

Love her

Living Legend gets me so emotional every time — it’s such an honest and heartfelt song I’m so happy it has a home on Blue Banisters

There seems to be a lot of lyrical continuity throughout Blue Banisters, which I’m so excited about! Wildflower Wildfire — I wouldn’t know how the cruel the world was Nectar of the Gods — What cruel world is this Cherry Blossom — it’s a cruel, cruel world Thunder — if you’re on fire, you should just keep burning Wildflower Wildfire — not to turn into a wildfire[…] like the others, baby, burn, burn, burn And of course, themes of familial conflict and resolution are kind of peppered throughout, more explicitly on songs like Text Book and Wildflower Wildfire, and more latently on songs like Living Legend and Cherry Blossom. I’m sure Sweet Carolina will also deal with that theme a bit and provide a natural conclusion to it.

I. My ranking based on how they preface the narrative of the entire album (not as individual songs ranked against each other) 1. Honeymoon 2. Cruel World 3. Born to Die 4. White Dress 5. Ride 6. Norman Fucking Rockwell 7. Love II. My ranking of the songs as they are individually, according to my personal taste 1. Honeymoon 2. Cruel World 3. Text Book 4. White Dress 5. Born to Die 6. Ride 7. Norman Fucking Rockwell 8. Love

Honeymoon is my personal favourite opener, as it’s just so ominous and entrancing, and immediately brings in this film noir feel with her clear vocals delivering the opening lines, followed by another swelling of strings

Same! I really like Mermaid Motel as it is on AKA but there’s just something so timeless, sultry, eerie, and hypnotic about the demo. The drums, guitar, and layered vocals are so perfect that I do not have the vocabulary to explain why I love it so much lol. It’s among my top 5 favourite songs from that stage of Lana’s career.

To me, Lana’s songs aren’t really sad or depressing the way people make them seem. They are thoughtful and contemplative, and they definitely elicit an emotional listening response, but I think everyone conflates sadness and reflection. I’m never put into a “depressive mood” when I listen to Lana — if anything, I feel uplifted and understood!

636 hours and 5 minutes until release!

Lana and Nikki both look so amazing <3

These are so so so gorgeous and you absolutely nailed each colour based on the title of each song <3

Ooh definitely trying this out! Thank you

Well, to me it’s not about the year, just the vibe really! And Lana’s released albums usually contain songs recorded in separate years! I guess I’d call it a curated playlist rather than a legit EP organized in my iTunes library lol — that I organize by year, so you’re right on with that haha

Trash Magic, the Mermaid Motel demo, Wayamaya, and Pin Up Galore — a glamorous little “surf noir” EP

Sheridan was filming from a recording studio…do we think there’s a live performance in the style of LMLYLAW coming soon? Or maybe a music video that has lip-synching scenes in a studio? I cant see why else he would be down at the studio with Lana (unless he was just there to listen to new material, but I feel like he’s definitely teasing a new visual)!

I smell a music video to be released on October 22!

If you think Nikki Lane is “lame”, that’s a shame.

On Our Way vs. Last Girl On Earth
