    Commentary on what she's listening to from celts67 off of reddit lol

     

    She's listening to commentary of the Istanbul(dont know name) team playing Sevilla of Spain soccer match haha wtf im a big soccer fan and recognised it was commentary right away and then he mentioned Sevilla, it was a match on tonight in the Europa League. I could have died if it was my team(Celtic) she was listening to we played last night

    BtD is iconic. It established her as an artist, although the BtD-Lana is actually extremely different from anything she's ever done afterwards. The visuals, the persona, the whole era's vibe ... everything was so on point. She also kind of introuced a new "era" of retro-fashion and trailblazed a path for alternative pop artists. UV was spectacular because it was such a big shift considering persona, sound and visuals.

     

    Honeymoon and Lust For Life are good albums and less controversial. However, they are not as "big" as her first two records and profit a lot from the quality established by the first projects. If it would not have been for BtD and UV, those two albums would not have worked they way they do.

    Couldn't agree with you more. Born To Die is the career defining album that set the tone for everything else. With Ultraviolence being the shift and display of how great of a songwriter and singer she had become.

    :agree:

     

    I don't feel much 'connection' to HM and LFL, like I do with BTD and UV.

    Yea BTD and UV were career defining moments for Lana. Despite the fact that i enjoy HM and LFL

    In my opinion Ultraviolence is Lana's magnum opus in terms of how strong and refined her songwriting and singing had become up until that point. But Born To Die was and still is just as impressive and important. Both display strengths and qualities about Lana that makes her a remarkable artist. With Ultraviolence showing a laser focused, more brooding rock oriented and condensed persona. 


    While Born To Die on was more expansive, cinematic, nuanced and adventurous. Solidifying the hollywood sadcore, americana alternative sound we've come to know and love from her. The merging of Hip hop, trip hop, alternative, baroque and indie pop brilliantly with the literature of Walt Whitman and Vladimir Nabokov through hypnotic, psychedelic, melancholy melodies.

    "When the world was at war before we just kept dancing."


     


    I believe this is commentary on the rise of the counterculture, protest music that emerged in the 60s. Which pretty much came as result of war in Vietnam, Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, and the Sexual Revolution. Counterculture music also assisted in diversifying music the through the collapse of stereotypical barriers and freedom of expression. Paving the way for african american artists to become more mainstream and celebrated, and giving female artists more of a voice.


    Overall not to mention our times feel like reflection of those times. Which makes sense why Coachella - woodstock in my mind also exists on Lust For Life.

    You don't realize just how perfect a summer album Honeymoon is until you're out in the humid heat on a sunny day. With the sun shining its brightest 3:41 pm in the afternoon and you're out doing chores like feeding the cat, the heat begins to set in depending where your standing with a slight breeze, you begin to realize how perfect a summer album Honeymoon truly is. I can picture Lana recording some of these songs in similar weather conditions, with an ac kicking at full capacity.
