I mean RBFY was only an intro/interlude which we've probably heard in full from the snippets... But I'd love to hear Yosemite, she said in every interview that it was her favourite song on the album... And it's obviously happy and hopeful. That's the one I wanna hear.

remember when we were all watching a crappy persicope to hear hm for the first time?? ahh memories

IMO, LFL might be her only album whose songs are difficult to listen to without the one before and the one after. Or if you break down the album, you have to do so by listening to trios of songs, like Heroin-Change-Get Free. All her other albums are super cohesive, but you can listen to Pretty When You Cry on its own, for example. LFL kinda lacked that. Anyways, to me, her most cohesive album is HM, closely followed by UV. LFL does tell a messier story, one where she is looking everywhere. I love that album, even if it didn’t have that « vintage magic » (with UV and HM, it felt as if I had found two old vinyls in a flea market, by a forgotten bluesy singer from another age).

I believe LFL will be the album we will go back to in a couple of years and we’ll better understand its place in Lana’s discography and storytelling. 
And I don’t get the « this album has not aged well », since music these days draws a lot of its energy and beats from the past decades. I get that LFL had a lot of trap beats that are really everywhere these days, but BTD was really contemporary as well, with its hip hop beats and samples (the strings were the classical element to the mix). UV and HM truly were rooted in deep classical genres, making them timeless. But we’ll have to see what is LFL’s legacy in the years to come. I wouldn’t be surprised, if the polical climate worldwide changes, that the hated « political » songs from the record find a « second life » or a new meaning in the future.

Maybe the album was pretty much done until she met Jack A. and decided to rework it. Like what happened with UV what she met Dan A.
 
Who knows?

I remember not thinking it was possible for fans to express as much disappointment as they did in the first few months after Honeymoon, but a year after LFL I see the Honeymoon slander was a breeeeeeeeeeze

YOSEMITE

Why is she already teasing new songs
We’re not getting these any time soon are we (still sooner than Life Is Ugly tho)

Much like the thread for Life is Beautiful, I thought it'd be appropiate to have a thread for thirst and hype of the song rather than the Lyric thread.
 
Rather than inflaming the memorial lyric thread with hype (of which 90% of is me shoving my hype down the throats of innocent users ) it can be done here, so that when the holy day comes that Yosemite is revived, the lyric updates and full release can happen at the respective thread
 
Just some quick links and info about Yosemite, the live snippet, and Lana talkin about the song

I know there are more but trying to find every interview she's done this year in which she's brought it up was taking a long time so I grabbed two pretty big gushes about the song from the interviews. 
 
Overall this lil guy right here WILL be her best song and it WILL be released officially and if it leaks I won't listen until she herself drops it.
 
That's all <3

As well with Yosemite, this goddess came out of the gates with a majestic lullaby for the ages, also seemingly scrapped!
Hope it's on the rumored EP xoxo

It's more than likely that JFK, Hollywood, Starry Eyed, and I Don't Wanna Go were for Paradise. Though Angels Forever and Black Beauty (Demo) were the early beginning of a more pop rock feeling album, I'd say. When they leaked, she felt disoriented and decided to go even darker, rawer. 
 
I do believe if they had not leaked then we would see an album more in the tone of Paradise, but still with a rock-ish feel.

I didn't want to say anything, bc why, and also bc of my prev satirical post  , but can we please stop shitting on the album Like alright it's subjective a matter of opinion let's start there, but the album was still pretty solid. Sure she changed the mechanics behind how the album focused in on things, but it's beautiful. The opening on Love, it's message. The title track, with the piano in the background building momentum, like navigating towards life, the senitmentality of 13 Beaches. Cherry with it's heightened sensuality, White Mustang's penchant for nostalglia. Summer Bummer, a classy hoe's backtrack, how hypnotizing Groupie Love is, IMF lyricism, Coachella's concern and selflessness, GBA's motivating tendencies, the fun f.o approach to problems, how globalist BP is, an ode TNC is, and how earth shattering the last three tracks are. 

Sure it lacks a kind of cohesiveness to what we've gotten accustomed to, but it's still such a solid work. If you're looking for a problem, u'll find one, but still. It's not difficult to appreciate the anthology that is LFL.


I do have to agree tho, I don't think a grammy can just encapsulate what an album/music can mean. It'll probably boost what an artist can charge, but that never means quality is exclusive with it. 


. . .So on another note which side of the coin are we playing wait with today? 

LFL is an incredible record please get an otolaryngologist appointment

Lana: I'm not releasing the next record til ur truly in luv with LfL

Interesting! Yosemite should have been with the BAR ep. pretty much all of the love songs would have fitted there.
 
I am curious about LDR6, for the sound of it and track listing. As time goes by and as chances of having Yosemite on LDR6 could go slimmer by the day (Lana tires easily of anything she does as months go by), i think an EP between LFL and LDR6, including BAR, Yosemite and a couple of outtakes from LFL, could have been a good idea, a good way to « extend » the LFL era while still offering something new to the fans.

cus there's nothing for us to talk about, like the future and those things

I think this situation is a great opportunity for us to learn more about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. But don’t just look at a couple sources and be done. Really absorb all you can from everywhere before forming a true opinion. Israelis and Palestinians have a complex history, and innocent people are dying. However, do take in account your opinion about other countries, like the US, who have killed several innocent people, and what about that situation makes it different. I’ve been educating myself more since this concert was scheduled, and I’m still looking into it. It really isn’t a simple issue.

Yeah, I agree with everything you said. It's not my favorite, either, but the fact that this album got nominated for Grammys is truly something else. No promo can get you to be nom for Grammy IMO, which means it's a good album. Again, not her best, but definitely not her worst (the worst one is yet to come, which I doubt it'll happen.).
