Umaniac

To me her low notes lack soo much energy like Taylor is all bubbly and Lana is like let’s get this over with

I’m sorry but our girl gave absolutely zero fucks about this she sounds almost ai generated

Fishtail live with a good choreography would ate

How many hours left?

Wonder what she’s going to close off now that vb and ottr are gone.

Maybe I’m naive but I don’t think this release was just for the numbers. I mean if it they really cared about the numbers that much they would’ve released it when the hype was bigger and would actually promote it. I feel like this is just a teaser of a bigger project.

I don’t think the opening lower register would be easy for her since btd and 13 beaches also start in a similar place but she was struggling with them (poor Lana is just very nervous). Since A&W goes straight into higher register where I think she is more comfortable would be easier for her. (btw I love talking with you about this tour/live stuff)

Damn i like the idea of starting with A&W and Candy Necklace would set the mood so good being so creepy.

Do we think her bringing those incredible backup singers means she is gonna focus more on her vocals? I mean Lana is pretty amazing when she focuses a little bit she just needs some effort.

Was just about to ask that question. They don’t look like her dancers and don’t look like they are tour crew so I’m pretty sure they are back up singers.

Before the video I thought “White fire, cinnamon on my teeth and I’m sitting at a stoplight in northern town. I feel lucky.” was Lana going back to her hometown after her fame and every fucked up thing she has seen on Hollywood but after seeing the video I think it’s actually the opposite. It’s young Lana/Lizzy getting ready to leave her hometown, she is on the verge of a new beginning and she feels lucky. It also ties with how she drives somewhere out of range, somewhere far away. I don’t understand what white noise coming out of brain means but maybe it’s her getting robotic and losing herself on the journey of fame?

Yeah they are shot professionally too. It’s clear they were going for this from the beginning.

I kinda actually like the breaks between verses. Candy Necklace has an amazing cinematic piano so the whole thing just feels like a movie and the breaks are the soundtracks if that makes sense? (I even maybe preferring the breaks to the verses)

Not sure if it’s been talked but I can’t find some of the scenes she posted on insta in the YouTube video? I’m pretty sure they are sitting on a full professional footage video.

I always thought it was to give Lana space to kinda playback but watching the Sacramento show where her vocals are louder she actually is singing all the lines (even the cherry chorus) and she is singing so fucking good so I don’t get why we have those over powering backing vocals.

I don’t think the band is the problem, to me they are actually one of the best part of her concerts, they are actually pretty incredible but I think they just didn’t care enough like they did back then on paradise tour. I think keeping the trio, bringing back a bass player, hiring a string quartet would be more than enough. They just need to sit down and plan on the show from start to finish and try to make it organic, not a mimication of studio songs.

I don’t think it’s the editing that’s taking long, especially with Rick. I remember fiily shoot and release was pretty close.

Her little burst of rage on “I couldn’t handle it, I was in Monaco, I couldn’t hear what they said on telephone”… I dare to say the most powerful moment on fingertips. They way she quickly goes back to the softer tone…

Completely opposite, to me it sounds relaxed and calming

Is this happiness suits perfectly to this album

Honeymoon (possible my fav Lana song after Brooklyn baby) White Dress The Grants (when you leave all you take is your memories is a perspective I’ve never thought about and it weirdly hits me hard) Ride Cruel World Norman Text Book Born to Die Love

I think those are exposure times? First two shot in 9/2014 and the last one 6/2015. I don’t know how that works on film but on my digital camera exposure times generally look like 1/50 1/200 etc so I’m not sure if they are even exposure but Neil also wrote ISO on top so it makes sense that he’d also write exposure.

Just my two cents but I think the “open me up, tell me you like it, fuck me to death, love me until I love myself” line also has a meaning about her relationship with media and fans. Open me up = I can’t help but feel somewhat like my body marred my soul (Lana talked about thinking the reason why she got so criticized was her face and the way she looked, to me she’s saying see through my body and into my soul) Tell me you like it = I have good intentions (even if I’m one of the last ones) Fuck me to death = They built me up three hundred tall just to tear me down Love me until I love myself = ( Lana seems to be more comfortable with herself these last years and at the same she got one of her biggest backlashes so to me she’s addressing that) Meh maybe it doesn’t make sense but this is the way I interpreted the song on the first listen

I actually think this is one of her best tracklistings. It kinda gets heavy in the middle but you slowly get to light track by track and I love the last three track run. I’m glad she kept the similar paced songs right next to each other, it works better that way to me. I always kinda found the doin time-love song-cinnamon run annoying just because of this reason.
