Liz Taylor Blues

I would be ecstatic if Lana released guided meditations 

oh my god she's going fully funkadelic's good thoughts bad thoughts venice bitchy psychedelic synthy spacey eno ambient music  no easily discernible meaning to her lyrics, just soft ice-cream, very softly-spoken, with humming and vocalisations  

let's be real we're getting poetry and covers before ldr9 

I think everyone should brace themselves for something totally leftfield, like a guided meditation.
 
Some soft ambient twinkling by Rob. Lots of silence. Lana can lead some visualizations, similar to spoken word poetry but less autobiographical. She can explore the law of attraction and channeling stuff she mentioned in the livestream.
 
Every time a fan paid her a complement, she said something to the effect that she was merely the vessel for some cosmic energy they were receiving through her. I think this is where her head is at right now. Plus the general implication lately that she’s going to be trying different things, some of which might seem crazy. She seemed really proud of the philanthropy she's accomplished with Violet - why not go further in that direction?
 
Esther Hicks, who she mentioned listening to "all the time," has guided audio meditations, and I wonder if Lana has a vision for helping fans self-actualize through something like this. 

i would kill to have a whole album sounds like "White Dress"

I’d like to see more of that vocal style…but not an album of ballads we have two of those already.

PLS YES THIS  

i rly love u arcadia girl but i'm now manifesting some tight as fuck melodies and little to no stream of consciousness crypto forever lyrics on LDR9 

Catholic Psychedelic Synth Folk?

FT Zella Day!!!

Why would you tease me with my dream?
yEs

Love this idea. My ideal tracklist would be:
 
 
It’s long, but I think I would rather this long album of no skips (in my opinion) compared to the two we got, that have a few songs I could care less about. I like that lot’s of the songs have that acoustic feeling toward the end of the record, and there’s a focus around nature and adventure. Finally the album climaxes at BBS and then closes with Sweet Carolina (mimicking what she did with FMWUTTT / Old Money)

You actually have a good point, I remember a few years ago, I think it was when Honeymoon came out, might’ve even been UV, I remember Lana saying she liked to end her albums in either a cover or in a way that it’s going to show what she’s thinking for the next album. I think NFR left off in a way where it seemed like she knew Hope was a good ending point, but also kind of gave us a taste of the minimalist, but poetic songs we’d get on COCC. Then COCC came out and it left off with a cover done by two friends of hers, whereas BB kind of contrasts because she only had one feature on it, rather than 3 random friends featuring on 2 songs. (I know those 3 aren’t random, but they’re random enough — I didn’t know them before she dropped the album and whatnot. I still don’t know them and those are my least played from COCC). It’d be cool with we get the final couple of tracks she did with TLSP maybe? I think there were talks of a song called Dope a while ago and a few other tracks that were never finished, so maybe they could go back and finish those few. 
 
All i needed to know to be happy was there are already a couple tracks written, so we’re getting another album relatively quickly after BB. Maybe not as fast as BB came after COCC, but reality is, she’s still working on new music. That makes me think she’s already gotten Mike Dean on the few she has. He said a few months ago he plans to work with her a lot in the foreseeable future. Did anyone listen to his Momento Mori episode from this week? Him and Abel are both friends with Lana so
 
 
 
I’ve been dreaming of something like a combination of these two. Trippy, psychedelic rock, with heavy sax and trumpets and horns. There’s a thing she could do that not many artists are doing today

I long for a full on psychedelic rock album. 

and then she scraps all of the mike and emile tracks for the Jack Antonoff songs she took off of Blue Banisters 
 
Rock Candy Sour Flower Power! 

He posted an Instagram story about going to a session with Mike Dean a few days ago. While they did both work with Kid Cudi (and Kanye in 2010), we know that Lana is actively working with Mike right now and has a history with Emile, so it's wishful yet somewhat reasonable thinking 

emile haynie posted a photo of him on a bus/subway/train (?) holding a giant fake blunt captioned something like "omw to the studio" tagging mike dean  

I think Mike’s repertoire is quite diverse, so I’d also like to hear what else he’d cook up with Lana. I remember he said verbatim to Fantano that with Lana, it was about “staying true to the original but putting your own twist on it” so I imagine WFWF is one end of that, and the other may be something driven more by guitar or strings. Mike’s electric guitar work is really cool but I really have no idea if that’s the direction Lana is heading in, now that she’s alluded to tapping into what I presume to be lyrical density driven by a more classic sound on BB — I’m here for anything either way, though! 

I think I’d also love if Lana tapped more into a timeless sound that carried loads of poetic lyricism. I actually listened back to some unreleased songs from 2013 (including the ones that ended up on Blue Banisters) and, in my opinion, they demonstrate this the most — they remind me of Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley. Now that we know of Lana’s rumoured Song to the Siren cover, I’m dying to hear something like that original track. I imagine her version to sound like her cover of Chelsea Hotel #2, Nectar of the Gods, and Living Legend. 

I'd be interested in hearing Lana's newer lyrical style mixed with Mike's production style + Emilie's. I think that could turn out super cool. Wildflower is one of the best songs Lana's ever written in my opinion, so I'm looking forward to seeing how her and Mike go about more of that sort of thing, maybe incorporating some of his classic stuff into her classic stuff. And then of course the addition of Emilie would solidify this as a new dream team for me. My favorite thing he does for Lana is strings, so Mike production + Emilie production/strings + Lana's vocals and lyrics would be absolutely stunning.  

manifesting Your Girl 

It‘s not wishful thinking, it‘s a fact and we should all keep manifesting 

I just wanted LDR9 to sound jazzy/bluesy like Tired Of Singing The Blues, Heavy Hitter, Call When You Call Me, Trash Magic, Pin Up Galore, Because Of You, Hollywood's Dead, Children Of The Bad Revolution and Velvet Crowbar
