    I've never been, is it too chaotic to consider seeing multiple people? 


    Last year, I managed to see about 10 full sets over all the days for acts I wanted to see, and a few other fillers. Some play for 1.5hrs and some only 45 mins.

     

    Most likely there’s nothing of interest until 8pm onwards anyway so it’s a later start - then the festival runs until like 6am.

     

    When I went last year, there was only one clash for me and luckily the stages I needed to be at were close together.

     

    I heard the year before, people had to leave Dua Lipa’s set half way through to walk 20-30 minutes to Charli XCX’s stage

     

    But all together it was a good experience and would highly recommend. Drinks service was quick and the bathrooms were okay. I think girls had longer queues though.

    He said something along the lines of: He heard the song was about him because of the 6'2 and Laurel Canyon lyrics. However they spoke and she told him that the guy was actually 5'8, but that didn't rhyme so she changed it to 6'2. And then he made a joke like "Thanks for that Lana!" 

    Who knows if that's true though :creepna3:

     I thought it was HILARIOUS that she put the giant photo of him on the main screen during NFR ... Likeeee I see what you're doing Lana!  :gasp:

     

    Yes! Okay, I remember this now.

    I think I was maybe too drunk when he was talking idk 

    :beyonce:

    I personally find it odd that she sampled songs that were released/recorded like 2-3 years ago? Not sure if that's laziness/artistic laziness, or the result of working with more or less the same team for four albums in a row, but the album is just very sample heavy.

     

    My main complaint is that she completely botched the closing track and did the song a disservice. Like Venice Bitch on its own is a career highlight, but the remix just sounded cheap/corny to me. Taco Truck, even though it goes back to your comment about Lana heavily sampling in her own/past work on this record, started off amazing and could've been a remarkable song on its own, but the song has this mod podged feeling to it and not in a good way.

     

    In hindsight, all these insiders saying the album sounded fresh and like nothing we had heard before, well that was kind of a half-truth, as you can clearly hear a lot of her past work (and especially the recent one) in these new songs.

     

    The album is still good though.


    Hard disagree. Venice Bitch is my favourite song (by any artist) and Taco Truck is clearly not an attempt to improve on it. It’s a revisit, a new version, an alternate reality.

     

    The perfection of Venice Bitch already exists as Venice Bitch the song. Taco Truck reminds me of White Mustang in that the entire song hooks you in less than two minutes, if you want to hear it again, just replay it. You can say the same for A&W: “why didn’t she make Jimmy a whole song” well guess what Mimi… she didn’t. So suck it up and live with it! 

     

    The album IS sample heavy (the two instrumentals, the Tommy Genesis sample. But nothing new for Lana. She has sang over existing instrumentals for her unreleased.) She doesn’t have to prove that she can write new melodies and fresh music, her strength is in her lyricism; so what if the instrumentals already existed?

     

    I don’t think the album sounds “fresh” however it is refreshing to hear Lana try out new things such as sampling, interludes and remixes. It’s fresh in the Lanaverse for sure..

    I get it, but then she says "what the fuck is wrong with you to send me away, exotic people and places to take the place of being your child"

    Which I think she's talking about us, her fans, exotic people that take the places of being her child.

    Spoiler

    Lana is our mom for sure lol. 
     

    But the lyric is “What the fuck’s wrong in your head to send me away, never to come back, exotic places and people don’t take the place of being your child”

     

    I think she’s singing about her mother here  I believe it was her mother’s decision to send her away to Spain when she was 15. She mentions it in a IG live - I think that’s the exotic people she’s talking about. Also then she was sent away later in life to boarding school due to her alcoholism/drug use. So I think she’s always felt discarded… and doesn’t understand how a mother could do that to her own child 

     

     (44mins in when she starts speaking Spanish lol, if anyone can translate)

    Is it just my impression or in fingertips she talks about an episode of rape when she was 15 and then she thought about committing suicide by running to the sea. Later in the song, she talks about having a baby at 16? but had a cocktail of things that twisted neurons (arons) inside (probably an abortion)


    I thought it was comparing something young and innocent (being naked/bare, carefree as a child) with something horrible like her neighbour doing a drive-by (shooting I presume). Not sure what she means in the following lines about “I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes” - it sounds like yes she’s saying she wants to die a particular way but not sure why.

     

    Later I think she says have “a babe at 16” as in like a boyfriend. She just wanted a simple life, have a bf at a young age, get married and die in the town she was born in - yet all of these traumatic. things happened to her that took that innocent simple life away (being sent away, drugs, fame etc)

     

    I think the cocktails that twist neurons inside is medication for her mental health
