Wow!
 
 
I got goose bumps when he said "... and I was off to the races!"

Honestly, I didn't listen very far into that speech before, but this comment of yours made me want to go back and listen properly, and I actually found a heap of quotes he says that links back to the Lana universe. Some of these might be reaching for the stars and have no connection, but just thought I'd share regardless.
 
Here are some of the things he said and how I relate it back to Lana/UV.
 
"Secretly inside I just wanted to be liked. I mean, it doesn't manifest like that, I might hit you, but I really just want to be liked." (That sounds so similar to "he hit me and it felt like a kiss". Wonder if Lana caught the bad side of this Jim?)
 
"and next thing I know we're off to the races!" (clearly this is a pretty Lana thing to say, maybe she got it off him, or vice versa?)
 
He's also talking about Budweiser beers as well. I've always wondered why Lana wears that Budweiser beer shirt, and had a parodied shirt of it in the Ride video too. I doubt she drinks beer herself.
 

 

 
He also talked about being involved in an armed robbery? Wonder if this perhaps somehow relates to Tropico, and the boyfriend of Lana's that also was involved in armed robbery in the short film? And he also talks about stealing and crashing a car... This is What Makes us Girls teas anyone?
 
"I got down on my knees and said a prayer to a God I don't believe in" (Reminds me of "When I'm down on my knees, you're how I pray", pretty sure these aren't related but just interesting)
 
"I've got these white tennis shoes on" (Swan Song reference anyone? If you also look at Swan Song it's about wanting to escape a life of work and responsibilities. This guy Jim speaks about his past and how he was caught up in a number of businesses, owing large sums of money, and he was basically broke, but also how he overcame that. This seems to fit in quite well with the "you've got your money now, you've got your legacy... let's leave the world for the one's who change everything." It's also quite strange that they're WHITE tennis shoes and not just any shoes)
 
He also makes a joke near the end about how the group is a "cult" and they're gonna "sacrifice a virgin if they can find one". Although it was a joke, I wonder if they were at all cult-like in their behaviour. Sometimes a joke represents a deeper truth. Probably not got anything to do with sacrifices, but it is possible their group is cult-like.
 
Once again, I'd just like to state that these are all just correlations and could very well be mere coincidences and I could be reaching totally for the stars, but it's just peculiar how many things he says remind me of Lana and how well his story seems to fit into the lyrics of Lana's songs.

Wow!

one word Lana has been dropping a lot recently is "Perspective", whether in her Honeymoon IG account or in her acceptance speech at the Billboard Women in Music event. I thought "Perspective" would be a brilliant album title in this stage of Lana's career, and so I've been making really shitty fake track-lists and unofficial covers for this album.

there's one picture in particular from the marfa journal shoot that really caught my eye. it's really something, and i thought it would be perfect for an album cover. it fits in well with all the interscope LDR albums with the inclusion of a vehicle (lel) and also follows on very nicely with the HM cover with the shades and it has a similar but different idea, symbolising the continuation of the idea of celebrity, anonymity and fame, but now Lana is in the driving seat, and it's her who is very much in control. it would fit the mood of this album: darker, more insistent and less passive, shinier.

ok enough of me talking crap, here is the cover:



i also made a tracklist, sorry if it is really bad. the first track would be a short monologue about her finding her perspective. track 8 would be a reading of William Ernest Henley's poem Invictus, I think it's a really Lana-esque poem (shown below) and really sums up her struggles to be taken seriously in the industry. The final track would be a reading of the Lord's Prayer.
Perspective (Intro) Tides Rising Beautiful People Devotion In Absentia Promised Land Invictus (Interlude) Angel’s Flight Walk of Fame I Found You Firehouse Sidewalk Dreams Ne Me Quitte Pas Amen (Postlude)
i'm going to post more of my ideas for this album if you guys don't send me hate mail
 
 
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

I see that Christ above Lana, guns and flying diamonds are en vogue now (these are my ancient oeuvres). BUT, that could be the case of mere accidence and sinchronicity, since the Person that made cover with same motives doesn't have almost anything in common with my artistical expression. Even, I very much appreciate what that Person does and creates.
 

 

 
 
 
I would like to remind you all of these old works
 

 

 

 
 
 
BTW. Tomorrow is my great solo exhibition. I would jump to the stratosphere if all of you could come by teleportation (of course, the ones at least slightly interested in what I do)
 
 

Duane Reade. You probably had difficulty finding it because it's not from an interview. It's from comments she posted about "Trash Magic" when someone first uploaded it to YouTube.

^ Ray Luzier worked a lot with David Lee Roth (aka Diamond Dave), so my guess would be that she's just seeing them on tv during "heavy metal hour". She's mentioned being a fan of Roth before, so I guess it makes sense that she might be a fan of Luzier as well.

I want her to do folk and country, like a May Jailer/Summer Wine hybrid
