Lana on Leonard Cohen & Chelsea Hotel (transcribed from a video I took of her in concert on May 28, 2015): "I really love doing covers and I love Leonard Cohen.. and I love the story behind how he came to write this song about Janis Joplin, because I think it just embodies how a song comes to you. He just said it was for no particular reason at a random time after she had died and he found himself in a bar.. and um, you know, he just started writing on one of the napkins and he was just thinking about how there were a few people around that he had met who, um, didn't have a 5-year plan and were just kind of on the road and trying things out.. and.. I really related to that." *takes drag off of cigarette* This is the video she pulled the story from:

I'm not sure if it'll really do anything, but never say never, so I'm going to drop it here anyway. If anything, it certaintly makes a good point that the electoral college doesn't HAVE to elect DT if they don't want to. Spread it around, maybe something good will happen. https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19

I'm not sure if you're being serious and you genuinely just didn't know, but "The Diamonds" refer to her fans. She's always been a solo project. It's like Gaga & her Little Monsters, it's just that Marina decided to put it in her stage name.

It's been speculated that Marina might drop "and The Diamonds" for her next project, and her Twitter bio is now "MARINA" and of course, the other day she posted a picture of her MARINA necklace, so maybe it could be true. I'd be a little sad if it was tbh.

I hate having to wake up in fear. For many reasons; for myself & for others. I have no words.

I haven't had time to read through this thread, but some people have notified me that there may be some drama in the thread. Remember - be nice, kind, respectful.. I feel like I have to ask this too much!! I really don't want to have to lock this thread since the election is so important. Healthy disagreements are encouraged, but please be respectful towards other's opinions!!

Update - just found out that "Gracie" is a friend of one of my friends in Cali, and she said she'd ask Gracie what her sisters (ones who took the video) talked to Lana about. Also not drunk anymore, sorry for being messy 2nite

I'm Bella drunk BJ Lana is so cute http://instagram.com/p/BMgEWLNAkKx/

Can I merge this with the Paris lyrics thread? Usually discussions about the songs stay in those threads

He also lives on the island Cyprus which is thousands of miles away Trust me, he isn't a part of the label.

Based on your introduction post, it seems like our taste in music is pretty similar, so here are some of my other favourite artists & my favourite song by them. ZZ Ward - Lil' Darlin' Lily Allen - Littlest Things The Pierces - Patience K. Flay - Make Me Fade Lorde - 400 Lux Gin Wigmore - Kill of the Night Elle King - I Told You I Was Mean The Bird and The Bee - Witch Amy Winehouse - You Know I'm No Good Florrie - Left Too Late Lenka - Trouble is a Friend Regina Spektor - All the Rowboats Feist - The Bad in Each Other Meiko - Leave the Lights On Kali Uchis - Sycamore Tree (the Saintard Remix is nice)

Good idea. I just tacked on mod approval to Human Condition's posts and will continue to do so for new members who seem suspicious (teasing things, etc.)

Be The One & Between a Bullet and a Heartbreak are my favourites. Thinking 'Bout You is also really nice if you want something a little different and stripped back.

I will fight you, I will win, I will rise again, soar in the wind...

Brought to my attention by these movie posters that Lizzy edited, the bridge is actually: One, two, make it fun Don't trust anyone One, two, wicked fun Don't trust anyone

Anne's already had her moment with Lana's lips, back off

I'll take one for the team and fill the position of the girl Lana's kissing

Cute little lyric reference from Rob today

Lol I love her. Sass queen

Says the one who just called a member a "sheep?" I guess you're just choosing not to listen to what I have to say about being respectful at all. Listen, this is getting pretty frustrating to deal with. Please use the "Report" feature on the posts that insulted & called you names, and I'll deal with them. Thank you.

Okay, don't give me attitude. I've let you off with verbal warnings several times now, and have not given you any warning points even though I should have. I am being extremely lenient with you for no real reason except that I haven't seen you be so problematic until recently. You've been on this thread arguing incessantly for nearly 10 hours, and it truly doesn't matter. It's not about me defending Eclipse, it's about trying to stop the unneeded bickering. I've restated that expressing different opinions is fine. Having disagreements is fine. Expressing thoughts of any kind is fine, AS LONG as it is done in a respectful manner. Some of the posts you've made today have definitely shown disrespect to other members, which I do not like to see. Rather than giving you warning points, which again I should have done, I continuously let you off with warnings through DMs, indirectly on the thread, or just removing your posts with an admin note to let you know. I'm not treating you unfairly, I am really being quite gentle with you. I'm sorry if you feel if this is something personal, but it really isn't. I apologise if this has upset you, but again, my only goal is to just try to keep negativity off the forum. So please, continue on expressing opinions and what not, just be respectful. That is all that I am asking.

Lana and Eclipse talked for awhile about LDR5 songs over twitter, and people argued for 30 pages about nothing of importance.

Also, since nothing is really happening in this thread, I'm going to change the title to 'Pre-Pre-Release (aka the mess)' and then when we ACTUALLY get something concrete from Lana herself (such as a Title, Date, etc.), we can create a new Pre-Release thread. Is that okay with everyone?

...Can you guys take the bickering to the PMs so the thread isn't cluttered with this? I don't really want to lock the thread, but I don't really want this going on either

I want to say AGAIN, that everyone needs to be NICE, KIND, and RESPECTFUL. Everyone has a right to their own opinions, but need to be respectful while expressing them. Disagreements and clashing opinions are expected and of course allowed to be expressed, but there is no need to be so rude and hateful while doing so. Keep this in mind while posting. Spread kindness and positivity while having the freedom to express different opinions. Thank you.
