Do any Nicole Dollanganger songs think the violins (?) in Thunder sound like the ones in Lacrymaria Olor?  Is there actually a name for this type of sound? It's been years since I've played the cello. It sounds like the violins are crying it's so beautiful

Chuck's real name is Caroline, so I believe that's why the song is named "Sweet Carolina" 

This album has left me speechless. I cried so much. The lyrics, the production. wow

It was a baby girl and they gave her a boy's name - Pheonix.
 

Okay I'm still trying to recover from my first listen of the album, especially since I was utterly destroyed by the final song, but I just want to say now that this is one of her best records to date. There's not a single song where I felt ehhh about - and while finding an “eh” song is already rare with LDR records for me actually, every song on this record is just otherworldly. I want to give the whole project a few more listens throughout the next day before I come back to share my final thoughts, but wow... she really did that x

I know this girl is crying going to the tattoo artist trying to fit her 7th album on her body

I need her not to ever go back to Jack after this. if NFR was a peak in her commercial praise, we need her to keep doing what she did here. even if we had part of the album a year ago tbh, this album was a choice and i'm so fucking glad she made it. this is an absolute peak of Lana's career. i seriously can't get over how many great albums she's actually put out like fuck, what????

This album has left me speechless. I cried so much. The lyrics, the production. wow

it's just like.... so much more interesting. i love chemtrails but i really love her unhinged and avante-garde

Okay, completely bawling my eyes out after Sweet Carolina. Seriously, crying like a baby right now, so I'm fighting back tears as I write this.
 
This is probably a bit personal for me to share, but I spoke about it a little bit ago last month when I shared a GoFundMe link for something regarding this.
 
At the beginning of this year in January, one of my best friends announced an unexpected pregnancy with her fiancé. Our friends & I were surprised, but told her we were there to support her through every step.
As a bridesmaid, I watched her walk beautifully down the aisle to marry her husband in June, knowing their baby would be shortly on the way. Was fighting back tears then too. (& didn't do a very good job at it based on the pictures.)
I then got to attend her baby shower in August, reveling in her excitement and nervousness. I even helped her set up the crib afterwards. She was so scared, not feeling completely prepared, but she was so excited for her new child.
She gave birth to her lovely baby boy on August 28th after a 48-hour labour. A perfectly healthy baby. She was so happy and we were all happy for her, and it was the beginning of a new chapter.
I don't even know how to write this next part, again as I'm still crying here, but her son unfortunately passed away just 9 days later in her arms suddenly from SIDS. She had texted me in the middle of the night about it as her son was airlifted to the hospital.. not really having much hope from the doctors.. until he was eventually declared braindead.
It was like the world had completely shattered in front of all of our eyes.
Some friends flew in for the funeral, and seeing her once more walk down an isle.. this time completely heartbroken and empty inside.. I don't think anything has ever broken my heart more.
The first time I saw her since the funeral was two weeks ago when her, her sister, and I went up to the mountains for a little birthday celebration for me. She was laughing and having fun, showing a little of that old side of her joyous self that had been completely wiped away after the tragedy she faced. 
I love her so much, and this song makes me think of her.
 
We love every hair on your head
Love you like God loves you
& you say that you're scared
Might be unprepared for havin' the baby blues
Baby blues
Baby blues
If things ever go wrong
Just know this is your song and we love you
 

I love you, M x
 
 

This song is probably one of the most underrated, I don't ever see anyone talking about it... it's really good, guys. 

well, there goes my knowledge of 20th century films 

Please tell me I'm not the only who doesn't use social media and doesn't care about this. She's hopefully going to be spending less time online (as we all should) and I'm not even familiar with how active she was. She will be spending more time on herself, her mental health and (for us fans) her music. Really great news I was very happy when I saw this. I made the decision to get off of twitter, facebook, instagram and it is great. I still use Lanaboards occasionally and now mostly reddit (dont judge me lol) and youtube. Very lightly do I browse instagram to see if artists post things about new music. Okay maybe I still use it but not with my face anymore. It's very different being anonymous (or whatever that is)
I'm just not directly affected, so I see the benefits to this. It's very sad for all of you I assume but this is probably a huge weight lifted off her shoulders (especially being Lana Del Rey, I mean damn, she probably just wants a break..)
But this actually brings me to a question,
 
What should we follow now for updates? The record labels? 
 
okay but the way that came out and Lanaboards was literally QUAKING

Oh I just asked in the other thread how we should get updates. I feel very young for forgetting about email newsletters lol...
