LaMartine

Such a legend, she's out there predicting our future and providing her fans A+ quality soundtracks for their lives I'm so happy for your mom, I send you my congratulations to you and your family, hope everything is fine!

in terms of eras i suppose honeymoon was pretty underwhelming with minimalistic promo, recycled footage used for freak and also mtwbt, not giving the title track a proper mv, and perhaps the addition of the backup dancers for concerts but sonically it's amazing, i always listen to all of lana's music anyway the only low point of hm is perhaps the nina simone cover and the vinyl discontinuity between freak/art deco. i'd hate to pick a favorite but i find honeymoon to be the blueprint of what i like in an album. to me - it's almost perfect i love every single song, and the admirable thing is that the album is very cohesive but also lana revisits (or at least acknowledges) different styles of music from classic lounge, gospel,trap and jazz also something that is very specific to honeymoon is that every track is in the right place: she achieved to find the perfect opener/closer combo (i ignore nina - whom i love dearly- and pretend it ends with swan song even tho the cover is ok, and also appropriate, so no hard feelings on my part). the album starts with the perfect incipit that almost breaks the 4th wall and nudges about lana's popularity and every other track in the middle is in its right place. And love that she has an interlude i also love how chill the album is, i like that lana has something like that in her repertoire. anyway this is all my opinion, i admit i have a negative bias against deluxe versions of albums and while UV sonically and lyrically might be more interesting there are like 4 different versions of the album (standard, deluxe, deluxe with an itunes song exclusive and a japanese deluxe version - i could be wrong) so it's kinda jarring. at least LFL has the perfect closer with GF. i'm also partial to the surreal themes of the songs and to the hermetic approach of her lyrics, which also brings some variety to her songwriting because that's a different style from BTD/UV where she seems like she's narrating a story, while in HM she seems addressing herself or the audience about her thoughts and feelings in a dialogue. I feel that we are more included in the narrative and lana's persona with this album. it might seem like lana hasn't taken any risks but compared to what the music industry is, the project was very risky. the tempo is too slow and not very youtube attractive. I could see the songs being played by a radio tbh but not becoming viral and eliciting lots of clicks which is something everyone attempts to do with drums, fast hooks and lush music videos (altho lana could use a better marketing strategy ...) i'll stop before writing an essay, honeymoon is bomb.

absolutely this is all trivial but the first time i listened to the digital album after buying it was outside (i still stream it), i was sitting at this bench with a lovely soft wind in the air and heroin started i was in love, it was perfect the whole album sounds better when outside, especially next to water

i once listened to wtwwaw sitting by the river and i heard an airplane behind me while the song was beginning and it complemented the drone sound, i was like

wrap you up in my daisy chains is such a great sexy line

morte de rire this should be the end of a halloween simpsons episode

tbh when i try to sing along to some of these songs i want to tear up a bit, not really from sadness but from being emotional especially 13 beaches (and those strings literally pull my heart and when the drums come after, well that's magical) and heroin (the"oh my god" and "oh oh oh oh" really really get me, they remind me of some folcloric moroccan music one of my friends listens to)

Altho I hear marzipan I thought she was saying another word world for some medical drug that I can't spell and marzipan was me mishearing ... but i like the innocence lost interpretation tbh, marzipan is also present in kids' fairy tales (grimm brothers)

i thought she was quoting some drug not marzipan

I could hardly watch the videos, this is so sickening and all my thoughts and sincere condolences are with those who were there who have been victims of the shooting or had to witness these kind of attacks it is really hard to get the courage of continuing to live life like you did before, unless people come together and encourage and empower each other to not succumb to terror. i'm always torn between being paranoidly afraid of going anywhere and pretending to be brave and go outside and have fun and do all the things terrorists (and the like) want to make you afraid of. and las vegas *is* a (or maybe THE) place for having fun and letting go, i pray for the people to heal, and that in the future, governments might show to be more willing to protect its citizens with the right legislation 3 years ago, i was with my friends drinking hot wine in paper goblets until a truck driver crashed into the christmas market in front of us and run over 11 people and it took us a moment to go up some stairs to a store, and some hours later we were supposed to get to a bus to go to belgium and enjoy a lighthearted weekend before the real shit began at prep school. i'm glad we went with our plans and stuck together and i don't know if it counts as fighting against terrorism but despite all my fears i didn't want to stop living because of people like these

i'm good at faking signatures, i used to do that for my classmates but i can't even sign my name the same way every time i need to. i just do how i feel and it's different, i'm afraid to get shit for that actually. also there's a 2 years gap between the two albums but it'd be tragic if any artist would fake their signature

catalonia's (like in belgium and northern italy) decision to be independent was also fueled by the difference in revenue from the rest of spain, something that apparently madrid takes advantage of without the catalans perceiving an appropriate trade off from the government. it's so disgraceful that the tensions have blown into proper violence, this could have been avoided and i can't see people not wanting to be independent now even though i don't really approve of the sentiment

so lorde has shared her own playlist and jams to Get Free (disappointed by the lack of heroin but ok) http://www.nme.com/news/listen-lordes-new-spotify-playlist-2062273 she also has two songs of hers

Honey, I love Noir to bits - you can't imagine - so why do I still feel that my crops are dry, my life is empty and missing something important?

anyway i came here to read about lana's lust for life

yeah i stumbled upon this a while ago too but i don't know if it's true https://open.spotify.com/user/1216120467/playlist/5rIVGkBKL2DulKwvjRS4se i read it on a website tho, that shared this link

this, magical small piece <3 1:44 when high

i tried to google with changing the preferences for results before Jan 1st 2012 on the tool thingy and I didn't get anything special, just stuff like Gender Disparities in the Design Field Designer babies: Creating the perfect child - CNN.com idk why i searched, tbh i was always curious about this line

my mom told me that her voice sounds the same too and i'm like how? where? maybe in her "hits" songs tho, there should be a correlation somewhere ... edit: i can't believe i'm listening to someone saying her music isn't layered enough, the song selection is tragic and really lacks diversity but yas lana get that promo i guess

a fan asked her which record was her fave and she said "the next one" (i don't know which minute it's on tho)

ICONIC this is so quotable i was getting tired of "x,y and z are the best songs out of lfl and that's the tEA"

i think indie means holding a lot of creative control over the artistic direction, unlike major label artists who depend on their label to provide them with guidance over their image, the production and the buying of song lyrics so if the gal writes her own lyrics and collaborates for the composition & production she can be labeled as indie regardless, while if a sound is different from what represents her genre to the general public an artist can be represented as alternative at least i think it's like that

i hope it's cat power, she wanted to be on the endless summer tour but she was pregnant at the time
