necessary sacrifice

so everything @lustforlife said about the new song is true?  

false prophet to actual prophet pipeline? 

i'd love if she covered "alexander's ragtime band"

it would sound really good in her lower register

plus the song is so catchy!!

Yeah, she has a lot of folk songs from that era (especially May Jailer)

yeah may jailer is the only "before discovering joni mitchell" type music lana has 

but even then she probably already liked joni, just didnt make it weird like her yet.

Like the songs she would to do before she discovered Joni Mitchell

so like music she wrote as a baby? bc her weird unreleased "lizzy era" stuff is the most joni mitchell shit she's ever done js 

maybe lana's been dazed n confused for so long its not true 

skip the btd anniversary edition and just finally give us paradise on coloured vinyl.  gold would be the obvious but cream or army green could work too.  come on lana, make it happen! 

snubbed again  

just like lana 

i think violet bent backwards over the grass deserves to be counted as an album. its more of a proper album than paradise and it often gets counted. violet had its own proper release and its own full era (not tied to another album/era like paradise was). even cotcc&bb didn't get proper eras. i think lana would expect us to count violet as equivalent to her other albums too 

Lana Del Ray —> Honeymoon —> Chemtrails Over the Country Club

(twinkly, introspective, personal)

Born to Die —> Lust for Life —> Blue Banisters

(eclectic, confident, fun)

Ultraviolence —> Norman Fucking Rockwell! —> LDR9?

(raw, melodramatic, profane)

i love chemtrails but i hate when people say its lana "at her most joni mitchell". despite it featuring a joni mitchell cover, it is by far her least joni-esque album both musically & in spirit. yosemite comes close to joni energy but the fairly simple structures & melodies & lyrics throughout most of the album are more like carole king or joan baez but definitely not joni mitchell. i truly believe people only think thats her most joni mitchell sounding album bc she covers her on it & most people associate joni mitchell with basic folk music but even her "folk" music was experimental & jazzy & completely offbeat. imo lana at her most joni mitchell is still aka or hm (but bb does have more of that chaotic joni energy again)

nominate me  

for anything  

at all 

i know this is kinda meta of me but i realized the outfit lana wears on the alt cover is very scarlett o'hara. the off-the-shoulder dress, the 3-part necklace, the hair half tied up. i wonder if it was intentional..

here's 2 scarlett looks that are kinda similar

Wait, there are people who don't like the BTD production? 

lana 

'violet bent backwards over the grass' is such a beautiful record even if she doesn't sing on it. i connect so deeply to lana's poetry, both the deep poems & the cute ones. and her speaking voice is so soothing and i love the parts where she adds a little extra emphasis to some lines. and of clurse the instumentals are so atmospheric & lynchian. its just so precious to me. like an old friend. and i love the book too but there's just something so emotional about listening to the record. i will never be able to fully communicate how grateful i am for this album and i'm really looking forward to her next spoken word album especially if it has more longer unhinged poems bc those are really something special.

literally any betty grable movie, bonus if its a musical

more dnc theories no one cared about

maybe dnc is a hint at the producers for the album....

Imagine commenting on a social media platform that is thoroughly corrupt, using a phone/laptop that was mass produced with borderline-slave labor, criticizing someone for buying fast fashion. Have people stopped washing their fruit or something or has everyone just chemically lobotomized themselves?

obviously dnc stands for 'dogs not cats'

she's finally making a public stance on the issue

niko & topanga feel betrayed

taylor swift is in tears

Can you name a few female artists that blended orchestral music with hip-hop before Lana? I’m sure there are some. Genuinely interested in checking them out. 

i only really know of joni and tori amos but i'm sure someone else could add a few. hope that helps
