necessary sacrifice

In the White Dress clip, she’s kinda giving me Gilmore Girls vibes with the middle-parted brown hair and sherpa jean jacket

Everyone guessing wedding colours and baby names

When she posted the clip, I was like OMG they must be going crazy for this on lanaboards! Then I remembered the album leaked and y’all have already heard White Dress

I love living in a constant state of pre-release

Us on our way to the next Lana concert:

I truly believe she’s gonna end up like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell and finally win her Grammy a few decades later to make up for all the snubs, and like them, she probably won’t care about it anymore by then.

I thought you liked the new album...

The covers album from Christmastime is probably the same thing as the country covers album. When she said “American standards and classics”, we assumed she meant jazz standards, but she probably meant traditional country and folk songs, maybe some blues.

Maybe she’ll do a livestream where she recites a bunch of her poetry, maybe with Jack accompanying her on acoustic guitar, and including upcoming poems

Ahhhhh I’m so tempted idk what to do

Starting to feel really tempted to listen to the leak I need to stay strong

Hot take: Ultraviolence was already Lana’s artistic “equivalent” to Blue. They’re quite different sonically and aesthetically, but ultimately equal in raw emotion and overall impact.

This is actually a comfort. You’re probably right about how Lana will never reach Joni’s depths (but I honestly don’t think anyone ever has or will and Lana herself has depth that most artists will never reach either). But like yeah I didn’t find NFR all that folky or anything like Joni’s Blue (which it got compared to nonstop probably just because they both have songs called California in them). I honestly found the album more in line with late 60s Beach Boys. It also has made me especially curious about how COTCC will sound because I don’t fully trust genre descriptions. But you’ve made me especially excited for Yosemite if it’s that haunting and emotional. Would you consider it the most Hejira-type-vibe of the album? Someone on twitter said Yosemite was like a George Harrison Beatles song and those are so haunting, so I’m starting to get more excited for it than ever before.

Thanks. That’s all I was asking. More people have said this too, so I hope I’m not let down. After all, quite a few songs on Folklore got that comparison and none of the songs were like that song at all. (Sometimes I fear people just compare everything to the most well known Joni songs/albums, instead of diving deep into her discography)

I don’t like the standard font. Plus fonts are fun.

I’ve heard the song Chemtrails. You and I already even discussed Joni songs it was similar to. I was just using two songs to ask what the vibe of the album had. It was supposed to be a straight-forward question. And those two Joni songs don’t even sound anything alike. You’re probably thinking of Coyote, not Hejira. Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere. You don’t understand Lana/Joni comparisons, while I’ve seen them since BTD, so I don’t expect us to see eye to eye here.

No I didn’t. I asked between two songs that happen to be title tracks (that don’t even represent their albums very well). I even explained I meant the songs. I never asked which album it was more like, I don’t expect it to sound just like any album by anybody tbh. What makes Lana and Joni so similar has never been what they sound like. I only asked if the album was more atmospheric and folky or upbeat and country.

Sorry, I misinterpreted you at first, but thanks for your answer! Lots of people were saying the album was very country, so I was just left really confused by people’s recurring Hejira comparisons, so I wanted to use examples to figure out which it was... Maybe I should just wait til it’s out to make my own conclusions. So far I’m starting to think the album isn’t actually all that country though lol.

I actually meant the different vibes of just these specific songs not the albums

Overall would y’all say Chemtrails has more of this sort of vibe... ...or this sort of vibe? please nothing too specific edit: I mean the vibes of these songs, not the albums they’re from.

Yay! I started mine yesterday, so I’m onto Born to Die today. Part of me feels like I’m just holding out so I can properly do my album countdown.

This is ridiculous. I guess all the fun is over since I’m waiting. See you guys when she announces the pre-order for Behind the Iron Gates... I guess?

I hope hope hope the album doesn’t leak. It ruins all the fun of an album release. If you don’t wanna listen to the leak yourself, you either have to stay off the internet til the actual release (harder than it sounds) or accept that every single part of the album will be spoiled for you. Plus, Lana deserves a proper album release (for once) after the year she’s had. So let’s manifest no leaks this time!

Joni Mitchell made a post on instagram for women’s history month of different women performing covers of her songs and the third one is Lana! https://www.instagram.com/p/CMIKxHhhGS2/?igshid=1toucxbvw3le0
