Fingertips

I want that to be true so bad, but with the way she worded "March 24th now thanks" it's not looking good

New Horizons had so much potential, but Nintendo thought the bare minimum was enough and...gave up on it

Nope - Ben and Ed took the weekend off

Watercolor Eyes

I would say "Yayo but ten years later, ocean instead of the trailer park" sluttiness sounds accurate

Me when I hear "When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags, I think I wish I could extrapolate some small intention or maybe get your attention for a minute or two" for the first time and it reminds me of every guy I've ever loved

1. Fingertips 2. Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father while he deep sea fishes 3. Taco Truck x VB 4. A&W 5. Kintsugi 6. Fishtail 7. Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd? 8. Let the Light In 9. Paris, Texas 10. The Grants 11. Peppers 12. Sweet 13. Margaret 14. Candy Necklace 15. Jon Batiste Interlude 16. Judah Smith Interlude

I love "Tomorrow Never Came" so much. It's always been my favorite song on Lust for Life. The TNC, Heroin, Change, Get Free saga... I adored you, I just wanted things to be the same You said to meet you out there tomorrow, but tomorrow never came...

Paris, Texas and Peppers are the two songs we know the least about at this point unfortunately

Now that we've sucked all of the news we wanted, what's next

and even then, her crazy ass will get inspired two days later walking down the street and entering a coffee shop to then write 25 songs about the angle of the sun in the windowpane and release a new album like a year and a half later

me trying to sing along to Kintsugi when she barely opens her mouth

when i disappear (to write my 13th album) don't forget me (like the tunnel under ocean blvd)

The theft of Behind the Iron Gates is quite possibly the most devastating loss for me as a LDR fan. I really hope she puts something back together to replace it

Can't wait for the death metal remixes

Not to pile on, but she already scrapped a few tracks from this record which I'm sure will be starting points for the 10th album Making music is like breathing to her at this point, I don't think she's going anywhere.

I'll give it a fair shot! I'll probably change my mind now that you say this

Ben is hiding everything in his couch from the IRS

Glad we're on the same page! I think that you brought up really good examples of some of Lana's best songwriting to date; The Blackest Day, Get Free, and Shades of Cool are all excellent and some of my favorite songs from LDR to date. However, there have been quite a few tracks on her earlier albums, like Lolita, In My Feelings, Guns and Roses, Fucked My Way Up to the Top, Coachella, When the World Was at War, that I just don't feel like live up to LDR's caliber of writing. With the albums post Lust for Life, I see that she has changed styles, transitioning from storytelling to poetry & stream of consciousness. In my opinion, there has been a much more consistent quality of lyricism in the albums Norman onward that never quite reach the lows of the songs I previously mentioned. I love the lyrics to Arcadia, Blue Banisters, Wildflower Wildfire, The Greatest, Hope is a Dangerous Thing for their poetic sensibilities and while these songs might have some cringeworthy lines, in my opinion, I believe the lyrics are better than the tropes and repetitiveness of Born to Die ans Ultraviolence. Honeymoon and Blue Banisters have her best lyrics to date imo. It's just a shift in style that I prefer. It's nothing against Ultraviolence. That's my response to your initial question

Perfectly said, my friend. And I'll apologize to @AntiToxicPill because I think there was miscommunication here. The tone of your initial post came across as very condescending and sort of aggressive, which made me defensive instead of want to enter a dialogue with you. No biggie if it wasn't your intent.

This is the "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd?" album pre-release thread. Want to pick fights about Ultraviolence and how I "dared" to touch it? Here you go, but I won't be joining.

Clearly he wasn't here yesterday or he would know not to fuck with me unless he wishes that he was never born.

I don't have to enlighten you about anything with the way you're talking!

Lana writes better lyrics now overall (back half of UV and most of Lust for Life, hello?!), but her style has changed so much that it's useless to compare.

Agreed, although I already know that I'm changing the position of the Jon Batiste interlude to either: 1. Between Fingertips and Paris, Texas or 2. Between Let the Light in and Margaret I hate the Interlude - Song - Interlude structure so much that I don't care if I mess up the flow by changing it
