FallingCherry

I relate to VFR so much. The line “Ever since I fell out of love with you, I fell back in love with the city/the streets“ speaks to me as much as the title track does. I went through a breakup in February and started hating the city I live in, I was so uncomfortable walking down the streets knowing my ex was never going to walk them with me anymore, and step by step, as I was moving on, I rediscovered the city, and how beautiful it is. And sometimes it feels like the neon lights are sparkling for me, just like Lana thinks the Paramount sign sparkles for her

I agree with you!!
My interpretation of the album is that it starts with her breakup with Sean (TB, BB) which leads her to do a deep introspection. She starts with an introspection on her image, how others see her (Arcadia, BBS, Beautiful). On IYLDWM, she’s not over the breakup yet, but then the introspection continues as she realises that Sean wanted to change her for someone she is not (Beautiful, VFR). That leads her to the angry stage of her breakup on Dealer. She then regains her calm but still holds a grudge against Sean for not being a good enough man for her, for not caring as much as she wanted him to. She’d rather cut him off (Thunder). On WFWF, she meets a new man and warns him of her past, and the issues she’s had. The introspection continues as she tells her new man (possibly Clayton at the time?) that she’ll do her best to not turn into a wildfire despite her past. She then goes deeper into her past by remembering an old lover on NOTG and realises how hard life still is for her, but she starts thinking about an old friend of hers on LL and how life could be with a kid on CB, and realises that no matter how hard things are, she’ll always be full of love for the people she holds very close to her heart. She knows she’s not alone and has so much love to give. She’s now over the breakup, and makes an attempt at leaving behind the pain of her past to focus on the present. Her sister is having a baby, and Lana knows that that’s what matters the most. The album closes with SC, a love letter for Chuck to remind her she’s always here for her.

How was I not a fan of NOTG before?? it’s literally been playing in my head all morning long… I think I still need more time to fully appreciate the chorus, but the verses touch me so much, they’re gorgeous. Crazy how much the song makes sense within the context of the album

It is a song  that creeps up on you,  I like the song but ‘I get wild and fuckin' crazy like the color blue’ feels a bit generic and cheap lyrically…it’s classic recycled Lana.

Doesn’t the album hold one of the highest user scores on Metacritic? Lana’s stans are doing wonders haha 

cherry blossom destroys me every time i listen

It's still so weird & surreal to listen to these songs on LDR's "official" Youtube Channel at this point

Arcadia makes no sense to me as a title of this record. It holds connotations of fantasy, when this album is anything but. It is a raw, vulnerable look at her story. Blue Banisters has conviction and paints a picture of the record being very earthly, away from the fantastic. 

I just watched her Instagram live and I must say that it makes me so happy to see how proud she is of this record! Last time she felt so close to an album was with NFR, she seemed to love some of the tracks to death, and I get the same impression with BB <3

The chords for Violets are insanely beautiful, I think the song is in my top 3 now
