    Wait a minute...
     
    “Everybody loved
    all the big stuff I was writing, but I was at the
    point where I had written in every style
    except my own. Now I had.””
     
    But what about AKA? Wasn’t that her style too?

    “This next album may come in 2020, it
    may come in 2021, and it may be called
    White Hot Forever, or she may change her
    mind.”
    I was about to protest but then I realized that we probably already knew that deep down.

    ^ thank you for posting.

    This has become one of my biggest issues with Lana. Finally deciding to care after years of scoffing at this stuff, dismissing feminism, etc, is not enough. And her young white fans be calling her "woke queen" when she still really knows nothing and is doing nothing except hoping her words will turn to birds and birds will send her thoughts our way

    @ Melissa
     
     
    The clothing on my back is not responsible for even one tenth of what Lana's and every other rich person's private jets are capable of. The private jets are one of the real culprits here that u keep trying to dodge.
     
    So wearing clothes is your defense to Lana flying around in a private jet routinely, while she preaches the opposite in her interviews?
     
    Isn't what u say to me, also applying to her?
     
    You're calling me a hypocrite for wearing clothes but having an issue with rich people & their senseless use of private jets, but defending Lana for flying private jets everywhere despite her preaching in interviews about the environment?
     
    She shouldn't be preaching while she contributes to one of the worst acts for the environment, right?
     
    Because that's what you're advising me against right now, simply for wearing clothes though, not flying around a private jet everywhere when there are more viable options.
     
    And yet u defend her.
     
    What even is your argument anymore, LMAO
     
    Equating clothing to private jet flights
     
    Btw, that same website u provided also stated what I already have in ANOTHER article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/dec/02/worlds-richest-10-produce-half-of-global-carbon-emissions-says-oxfam
     
    Also, do u think corps aren't included in the rich category I mentioned? Hollywood celebrities aren't the only rich people in the world. U just supported my point with ur link...
     
    The way u make a mockery out of this is gross lmao. Someone can't point out how unnecessary it is for rich people to fly private jets around without another taking an issue with it, no wonder our environment continues to have a STENCH

    The fact that u equate private jet usage to any of these things when it is proven that the rich are responsible for 50% of emissions, namely due to their flying choices (PRIVATE JETS)
     
    The fact that u think it is so out of the question that Lana could make a difference over her "lovely voices" garbage, when u know damn well her fans are highly influenced by her 
     
    Or even just, you know, Lana refraining from using private jets because it's completely pointless to do so. Why does she feel so strongly about climate change, but then fly private jets routinely? Why?
     
    That can't be answered, because u know it's hypocritical of her.
     
    Celebrities who bat their eyes during their green thumb speeches don't have the balls to call out private jet usage because they all know they do it, and how terrible it truly is for the environment
     
    U said one famous person's actions is pointless so why does Lana bother saying (and not even applying what she says to her life) anything at all then?

    Maybe the way that I'm living
    Is killing the environment

    One person can influence others to make changes, which was the point in mentioning Greta Thunberg who has garnered up to 7 million protesters ww
     
    Defending someone who uses private jets regularly (while they complain about climate change in interviews, no less) because "one person won't make a difference!1!1" is the logical fallacy here
     
    Evidently when speaking of global greenhouse gas emissions the AVERAGE single person's contribution would be minuscule
     
    However
     
    The privileged population are proven to be responsible for 50% of emissions and a lot of that is due to their flying methods
     
    Lana is a part of that
     
    Therefore, if she wants actual changes to start happening, why doesn't she start by applying them to her personal life, while also actually saying something of substance rather than "people who are pro-environment have lovely voices" as this interview suggests?
     
    Lana enjoys dipping her toes in, but so rarely follows through with said beliefs. One could take ur argument and actually flip it: since u consider one person's actions so irrelevant, whether it is climate change or veganism, what's the point in Lana's "lovely voices" words? It amounts to nothing, far more so than a single person's actions would. And, if she feels so strongly about it, why does she fly in private jets routinely?

    The difference 1 person can make is actually astounding if u consider Greta Thunberg but OK, Lana flying around in her unnecessary private jet while whining about climate change in interviews isn't hypocritical at all lmao
     
    Lana has absolutely no reason to fly around in a private jet, period
     
    Isn't ur friend Elle a vegan? Are u going to tell her to stop being a vegan because 1 person doesn't make a difference?

    Lana acting concerned about the environment despite her personal carbon footprint being massive through use of yachts and private jets alone is laughable
     
    The use of private jets is hardly ever necessary outside of medical emergencies and, on a more controversial level, heads of state
     
    By using them u are producing 10 times the amount of carbon per passenger
     
    A 2 hour flight on her private jet will amount to approx 5.2 tonnes of CO2, so 10.4 tonnes for the return flight, we are recommended to multiply that initial figure by 1.9, which makes the total sum even higher, meaning from just one return private flight, Lana is already using up three times more tonnes than the average citizens yearly emissions
     
    Therefore Lana's personal carbon footprint is much higher in comparison, which is not even a question, especially considering she has far less people aboard in comparison to a commercial jet. The idea is that Lana is so privileged she can z00m0z00m her private jet around while paying for offset (which is the equivalent of abusing a woman but then donating to women's shelters to rectify it) but the thing is, average people cannot do that and would instead need to decrease consumption meaning they will have issues with higher prices. So, Lana is out of touch because she will not have to tackle the consequences of her forthcoming policies the same way a normal person would

    ...I mean the astrology thing could work(in the right hands) but I deeply fear how Lana would execute it. I don’t want hear something like-
     
    Imma indigo child
    Born for the new age
    Bright blue quartz crystals round my neck like daisy chains
    My lover is a Sagittarius
    But our love is almost dangerous
    He drives me insane and wild.
     
    Like pls Lana don’t go down that route

    Uhh, interesting? I think sonically, something with a Wayamaya/MAC/Guns&Roses type of sound might fit the lyrics? Something rock, but also dreamy and reminds you of the sea?

    Not being picky though, it's literally the first thing I hear on the very first track of the album, how "flat" the vocal track sounds like, and also how the entire instrumentation of the title track sounds tinny, like it has this sorta cheap metallic sound (?) like at some point it legit sounds like loose change in a pocket. Still love the song, but much like the vast majority of this record I'm honestly perplexed about what happened, or didn't happened, when they produced/mastered this record.
     
    The so called flaws are obvious.
