Right, but she said she is scared of people looking into her family records. It seems to be on her mind as she has mentioned it a few times in this Live + the "it's my karmic lineage" line in Black Bathing Suit.

What did her ancestors do, omg. She keeps hinting at her lineage doing something crazy?

Her ultimate revenge: scalping Colbert on live tv

the first single from LDR9

Literally weeping at Thunder. The emotion the violins and surfy guitars add, Jesus

Any late night tea to share, @lustforlife

I am so excited to see "what it's like now", too! I think the closing track "Sweet Carolina" will answer some questions especially because it was co-written with her father and sister. Another user pointed out the album starts out with "I was looking for the father I wanted back" and ends with a song written with her father. A full circle moment

Listening to Text Book this morning and reading this thread and I have some thoughts. Just a note, this might be a COMPLETE REACH but First, the lyrics "I guess this is really the end I've never felt jealous before this year but I'm jealous now" really hit me differently after her announcement last night. Maybe she's referencing the experience of watching her friends live a normal, fame-less life on Instagram. We know she wants privacy more than ever and is probably sick to death of the trolls commenting on her posts. Her thoughts, body, music are all open to be critiqued in the comments of her posts and I'm sure she has read some hateful things. I don't see this announcement as spur of the moment. @lustforlife said BB is "the end of Lana Del Rey". Maybe de-activating her socials is just the first step down a road of seclusion and letting the music speak for itself. Secondly, we know Text Book starts the album. Lana said BB is about "what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now". The lyrics "and then there was the issue of her I didn't even like myself or love the life I had" stuck out to me. I see these lyrics as young Lizzie speaking about not liking herself or the emotionally unstable home she lived in as a young girl / teen. In some ways, the creation of the Lana Del Rey persona saved her from that life (or maybe it felt this way to her in the beginning): it brought money, instant adoration and freedom to build a new life for herself. Years later, though, the "Lana Del Rey" name has also brought a ton of baggage: think pieces, 0 freedom or privacy, twitter hate, etc. Maybe deactivating is just a way for her to begin tearing down this image of Lana Del Rey and only letting the music shine through. I could see her being very reclusive (like Fiona Apple) and popping out for interviews once every few years. I don't think she will ever retire from music but this record is definitely a turning point for her. I'm excited to see the story she paints in BB and hoping it all comes together. And maybe this is just me dwelling too much on the fact that I won't get a "Lana Del Rey posted" push notification for the foreseeable future

Lmao can’t even imagine this fitting into the COCC track list. Talk about a tough transition…

Guys, maybe I moved a lil too fast posting the Nicki video I can’t find where this interview is from and something about the audio does sound off. Sorry for the false alarm but if it turns out to be true you heard it here first

I agree, I love that Lana reached out to clarify. The way Nicki worded this “I have a feature WITH Lana Del Ray” makes me think Nicki is featured on Lana’s song and not the other way around. What if when BoZ said he couldn’t believe Lana was doing this he meant featuring some artists from QFTC post on the album?

The way we’re (probably not) going to have a brand new album to listen to 6 weeks from today

I'm trying to insert an image I uploaded to imgur but it doesn't work. I click on "insert image from url", paste the url link and then the text box just flashes red and doesn't let me insert.

In the video she says the book is available “in all bookshops on Monday” but I thought it was being released Tuesday the 29? And then there’s Ben who says it’s out the 26th *smh*

I still haven’t received my hoodie or shipping notification and I ordered the first day the shop went live! Does anyone have the customer service email address? The shop has disappeared itself

Merch from the Surf shop?

I always took it as...she likes the finer, material things (diamonds) that can give life texture as opposed to her man who prefers a more simple (earthy?) way of living. Also, for me, the crimson and clover line ties in nicely with “you’re in the yard, I light the fire” and “now we’re back in the garden...”. They help paint that atmosphere that makes VB so *chefs kiss*

Omg THANK YOU I knew CG outro reminded me of another song and it had been bugging me for days

Fuck it I love you

Omg Azealia....

Is Season of the Witch coming Friday 8/9 or Friday 8/16?
