Random recollection - remember she was recording with Mark Ronson pre-Honeymoon? I wonder if anything ever came of that/those session/s.

I remember after releasing Paradise she said something along the lines of “I don’t really know if I have anything else to say”. LOL

Going down memory lane listening to Born to Die - National Anthem’s chorus melodically reminds me of DYKTTATUOB a lot. I like it, this musical intersexuality between her works. I like the idea that, in some ways, artists are making the same work over and over again, ever perfecting their vision.

legend behaviour, they say he can be found in Camarillo running past silver mirrors down the corridor

thinking about former poster graham4anything during this time

omg the tempo-changing songs are always at least four minutes long, my heart, my heart.

I would love confirmation of at least one song that changes tempo. 🥹

The way she sings “but I can’t”, gently, exhausted, almost with a forced half-smile. Like she knows better, deeper, than the man who is telling her she can thrive - and maybe she does. Her gift is thriving though.

Guys

One thing I’ve discovered in my own life is that the push-pull of one’s behaviour never quite goes away. As in, I’m generally better in self-image and how I’m trying to approach love now than I used to be, but I still can be brought down by it in that it is still there to be resisted, often on an ongoing basis. Sometimes you have to briefly backpedal and acknowledge that part of you in an earnest and honest manner.

Amen

I think the time to let go of charts and streams and figures was some time ago now.

Okay, so. I listened to it just there, just once. Sitting in silence now, processing. I listened, and as it went on, I began to openly weep. I just… this is lyrical and melodic poetry. Beautiful seems like such a vulgar word to use. Powerful is perhaps a little bit closer to what I mean. I have not been that so deeply moved by a song like that in some time, and music often deeply moves me. It felt like the hand of the man I’ve been in love with for five years now laying his hand on my chest, softly - he has never touched me, and never will. I felt like I could finally admit to myself just how in love I have been with him, and always will, even though it will never, ever happen, and for better or worse, that I will always have to be okay with that, live with that, and just how badly I’d treated someone who could have easily just been an amazing friend, Hell, an acquaintance. It felt like she was singing what I had always wanted to say to him through my mind. Fuck. Thanks Lana.

NO YOU GET IT

So here for never ending diaristic sentences that somehow work rhythmically and rhymingly and multiple changes in time signature and poetic realness UGH give it to me

So down for yellow. I used to detest yellow - now that I’m older, I understand it as a colour.

off topic but your username 👌🏻

The title of the new song, my heart. I am deeply excited. I trust her, but I’m also only prepared for the gentlest of disappointments for when I hear it, only because that title is so my vibe in my own poetry right now. Not listening to any snippets. Pray for me.

Loving the new Weyes Blood record, semi-supplementing me for LDR9.

Not COCC and BB being described as simple when they demonstrably have some of the most melodically and structurally complex songwriting of her career lol, not everything had to have an obviously dark sound to feel dark - if anything, that’s the obvious take you don’t have to like it, just say that lol

As a writer myself, knowing how hard and how long one must work to even have enough experience and material to even consider beginning a book, I cannot begin to imagine having it stolen from you. Damn. Damn.

Wait, ladies -holds fingers to temples- I’m getting something …does the word “sylvia” mean anything to anyone?

‘Hot-Ass Coffee, Hot-Ass Day, and a Sinus Infection’ track title confirmed 🥹

Remember when Ben hinted at multiple albums last October 🥲
