I had a dream last night the new album was hip hop/rap and it was out of control amazing and we all lost our minds.
 
Obviously this would never happen but wow it sounded cool in my dream world.
 
 
The fact that I am now literally dreaming about the new album really says something haha

It finally happened. Santa Baby ft. Chuck. Captioned "As per the request of the 11 yr olds"

Hey little NY accent coming out during "awful" just kills me.

I think I'm fine if Lana doesn't become popular again. Tbh the popular music these days aren't in Lana's realm, I think we should stop expecting anything other than great music from her. Btw she will still be a successful artist like Bjork, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey etc. in the future. I mean those artists had their hey day, and so many people still respect them and their new music, it just doesn't chart like rihanna, nicki, ariana, beyonce, taylor, my ass, adele... I prefer my favorite artists not to be lumped into the same category as those singers (no offense if you do).

I don't know if you guys ever realized that, but the Honeymoon instrumentals (and vocals) play a lot around the "time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future" theme (and some people here even say the Burnt Norton interlude is useless in the album, when, in fact, it's a major role in the understandment of the album themes) which I believe is a central role in the album and the thoughts Lana put in its creation.

 

Like, if you listen to "Music to Watch Boys to" you can hear, right in the beggining, that the chorus without instrumental goes forward, while, in the back sound, the echoes are played backwards.

 

We have this again in "High by the Beach" with the vocals being played going high and being repeated right after backwards and that goes throughout the entire song, everytime these "scream" (yawns? I don't know how to describe it) appear. The instrumental itself is also going forward and backwards sometimes.

 

Art Deco brings it again, with the trip beats in the beggining being played forward and backwards. The instrumental in Burnt Norton is essencially this. Played forward and backwards, forward and backwards, giving the feeling of an endless loop.

 

At the end or Religion the beats slow down to bring Salvatore, where the flutes are first going up and in a second beind played in reverse. 

 

And the best of all, right in the beggining you have the sound of a man crying compulsively, which is repeated a lot of times. The cry itself lenghts less than a second, but they repeat it like, 9 times, so it seems like a continously cry. At the end of the bridge, when the violins rise again (at the end of the piano part) you can see that the cry is now going up, like a laugh, 'cause they're playing it backwards. God, it's fu**ing amazing. This part is more notorious if you listen to the instrrumental isolated, you can find it in here: 
.
 

I listened some of the same pattern in the Swan Song instrumental, but right now I'm not remembering to tell you especifically. Overall, that's just shows how Lana is a fu**ing incredible artist, how everything is planned and she is really focused in materializing an idea, a thought, a belief in what she creates. It's simply overwhelming.

 

P.S.: I copied it from the "your fav instrumentals" thread 'cause I have never read someone discussing this before and I'd like for more people to know about it!

i'm glad she is showing the world she has a mind. if you seriously think her album is more important than the lives of those who were seriously affected by this undertaking, by the injustices that were being committed, and the decision of the administration to STAND BEHIND native people, seriously, rethink yourself...

lol even her worst stuff is great feel blessed people

I read some stuff here and I actually start to wonder if some of you appreciate Lana's work or is just expecting that she will release something that you want to listen.
Like, it's her creation, and her art. If you don't feel connected anymore (or is touched by what she's been expressing), maybe you should rethink if she's an artist you like instead of whishing she would go back to sing the only sound and atmosphere you expect. If you don't feel this brightness anymore (as so many of you say), maybe one option would be to look forward to artists that come closer to what you relate. But, most important, to keep respecting the work Lana does. I read some stuff here that I think are extremely offensive and if she was here herself she would probably question why you are interested in her work anyway, being just like the media that sucked her in the past.
I didn't want to say anything just to be the annoying one, but what really bothers me is seeing so much disrespect and, mainly, the depreciation of her art, inputtted as "opinions". It's disheartening, I thought coming to LanaBoards I would see people praising, analysing, being proud of her work and thrilled by the person she's becoming over the years, 'cause she had a tough life and had to overcome a lot to be where she is today.
it's really tiring, you know.

The other woman was amazing, especially the last part (will speeeeeeeeeeeeeend her life aloooooooooooooooooone), beautiful

Including a heartfelt message to Leonard: I'd be lying if I said it didn't kind of break my heart that I never got to tell you how much you changed me. Not that it would've mattered to ya, it's just that other than Bob and Joan you were the only person I ever really felt spoke my language. I love you as a real fan and I always looked for a little bit of you in all of my future friends. God bless.

Well, it looks like I'm actually going to get drunk tonight! God bless y'all! Be safe in this horrifying new era!

The fact that Subversive is a possible theme in the upcoming album excites me so much.. I never would have thought Lana would top the 'Ultraviolence' theme but she really managed to find another intriguing word.. 
 
 'tending or intending to subvert or overthrow, destroy, orundermine an established or existing system, especially a legallyconstituted government or a set of beliefs.'
 
Hopefully based off of the definition we will get a more rebel like side of Lana, and less of the victim side. 

OMG you're so right, the first few seconds mark the tone for the rollercoaster ride of the entire album  
Imagine how the first thing she ever sings us from the new album sounds like I'm getting emotional just thinking about it
 
How do you all take in a new single/song? I do it in a dark room, all lights off, headphones in, close my eyes, on my bed propped up as soon as the song drops.
 
Anyway, she hasn't posted on insta for ages now, she is definitely busy or just taking a long pause before beginning the tease of ldr5
 
I'm convinced, the next instagram post will be something to do with the new album.
 
I said this once before and it ended up being that pic of lana posing with some painting, that was much later revealed to be in Emile Haynie's studio, aka evidence he was producing

raise ur hand if u literally dont give a fuck if eclipse is lying or not, you just want to keep the t flowing and the discussion alive 

I feel like UV was angry & raw, a bitter response to how she'd been treated by some following BTD/P
Honeymoon (to me) felt like resignation and doing what the fuck she felt like. Putting the anger behind her and disappearing more into her beautiful/tortured 'world'. I kind of feel like God Knows I Tried is the touchstone of the album, even if it's not a stand-out track.
I feel like the new album will be the next step but I have no idea what that could be - a return to a more radio/chart-friendly sound, or further into her own aesthetic? 
(I do wonder about the (pretty dubious) references to 'Diana' and 'Monroe' tho - if real, does she see herself in a similar way to these doomed, troubled, prematurely dead figures? That could be a bit...off, if not handled carefully.)

THIS WAS AMAZING I ENJOYED READING THIS 
 
 
lana back at it again with the dead icon shit
(but i love it secretly)

The flute session in the beggining with the crying man before the cellos start with the melody ALWAYS makes me feel amazed by its perfection.

I think it's so enriching to see how people feel the albums in different ways. After the Interlude I feel like the atmosphere changes a lot. 24 is probably the song I like the least (Sometimes I catch myself skipping it), but when Religion is almost ending and the beats start to slow down so that the Salvatore intro can begin I literally almost cry everytime. After Salvatore I really feel like the album is coming towards its end, like, she is starting to close the story she opened back there. Swan Song is a really strong song for me, I feel there is a spiritual meaning behind the lyrics, something like the arterlife, I don't know. The production helps a lot to build that, like, the violins are so languid, give me cloudy feelings, I don't know how to express that well. When the album ends I feel an incredible urge to play it out all over again (which happens often) just to have all those emotions again. It's like I listen to it for the first time everytime I play it.
