I think there is a tendency to equate complexity with masterful writing, and simplicity with amateurism but that is a fallacy. Simplicity can be powerful, and overwriting can obscure the soul of a work. I see a lot of the criticism of IYLDWM as falling into this trap. Is the chorus simple ? Yes. But, it is because that is all the song needs to say. Padding is bad writing. The verses paint a vivid picture and the chorus adds the necessary emotional context to understand the picture. Using a lot of big words does not make meaning profound. If you are discussing the profound it will bleed through the words whether your style is simple or complex, and Lana, well is vast and contains multitudes.

I like IYLDWM and VFR the best--they're the really standout tracks to me. They're not too light and they're not too heavy. VFR still seems to me to be 'American''s big sister. 

it's a dad thing lol I bet they buy tens of each 

MY FATHERS LOOOOOVE
WAS ALWAYS STROOOOOONG

Does anyone have a screenshot of the post where she explained that the album is how it was, what it was like, etc.? I can’t remember when she posted that on Instagram 

...
I want her to cover either Pale Blue Eyes or I'll Be your mirror by Velver underground..
 
Or if we can dream...Top of the world/Jambalaya by The Carpenters
 
Comfortably Numb? :p 

manifesting neil young, 'revolution blues' would be insane, and 'my my, hey hey (out of the blue)' would obv be beautiful  

Love everything about this post.
 
The way Lana is gonna put her whole puss into LDR9 whew!
 

Omg, but your mind toooooo! Thank you SM for dropping these titles! 

Oh my fuckeen God I knew she was up to something. A kali uchis anderson paak neighbourhood weeknd collab lust for life 2.0 takedown of cancel culture ass America? White French tip stripper nails? Bitch????? Hello????????? This is why Lana hasnt moved to middle America yet bc she had to yass again

he said i was bad, lemme show u how bad girls do
 

If this post is remotely related to Lana, I’m VERY intrigued to see how Lana will segue Blue Banisters into a Mike Dean x Emile Haynie collab!
 
I think Wildflower Wildfire would have likely sounded different had it not been on BB, but can you imagine Lana shifting this era into a cross between these two songs? ICONIC
 
 

Not when L*** F** L*** exists. 

If it’s a Lana twitter saying 🚨NEWS🚨 it’s clearly not news

i love how in all the pre-release threads we would joke around like "which song do you think the patty diss track is?" and now we're here like how to pick just one? 

I’m so glad melon gave BB the same score he gave HM. Its a sign its the new magnus opus.

Too soon. Way too soon.
 
that said, here are some absolutely never going to happen concepts I think fascinating to dream about for ldr9
 
Nevada Alaska Hawaii- May Jailer and Lizzy Grant have taken over Lanas body and sound in this glitzy americana kitschy follow up to AKA and Sirens. Slightly off key guitar, haunting operatic crooning and belting.Sunlit noir and joyous winter. Binaural beats and psychedelic bass. Clove cigarettes, the turning of the year. Northern lights, coral reefs, and desert smoke. Lana as Jack Kerouac On The Road. Nikki Lane as her Dean. Country in spirit but not really and sound. Transcendent global and slightly lofi. Sounds like a transmission through radio from a parallel universe. Slightly distant but ethereal and moving.

Melon literally gave Cocc a higher rating than most stans on here lol. He just has a different opinion y’all need to chill you guys act so deranged when anybody doesn’t agree exactly with your opinions of lana’s music. Always the ad hominems too.
