Dealer vs Off To The Races

Lana posted some pictures of her grandmother, Cynthia, and something she wrote when she was 12 on Honeymoon. She's always been such a good writer If the image is too hard to read, here's what it says: An Autumn Day A view from my bedroom window By Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, age 12 The gently rustling leaves sound like an ocean bay calmly splashing against the cool wet sand. The sky of ominous clouds is darker than gray, with sunshine holes beaming out of the corners of the sky. The not-too-distant sounds of cars are mixed with the shaking of the pine needles and the soft chirping of birds. As the afternoon grows dimmer, the crickets sing their cheerful songs of fall. Across the lake the frosted tips of blue mountains are slowly becoming shadowed by the overlapping clouds. The colors of fall are swirling in the wind, while the seagulls are crouched low upon the long waving blades of grass. The cool rushing wind is racing itself through the sky, sending shivers to the people in its way. Fall is happening everywhere on the beautiful autumn day

You should be right though because why did she call it Pretty When You Cry when she only ever says pretty when I cry Pretty When You Cry vs Living Legend

Pretty When You Cry vs Your Girl

We might have been wrong about what the song was about, but we were right about it being an absolute icon and an album highlight

Imagine if out of everything on this site, "Does Lana Del Ray pick up after her animals" is what makes her snap and reveal herself on here If I was her, I would've snapped after "Should Lana do porn?" tbh

I heard Lexa pays her brother Chad $40 to feed her animals and her horse plant

I don't think this album is about Clay just for the simple fact that most of the album was made before or right around when she started dating him. Like I said, I think he was mentioned in Blue Banisters, but that's it. Most of the album to me isn't about her romantic life in particular, but rather how that translates into the other aspects of her life. Songs like Text Book and Black Bathing Suit are so interesting to me because they do that. They take something like a break up or relationship struggles and make it into something bigger. They're able to convey such a complex story. Listening to Lana talk about how the breakup with Sean impacted her and how it inspired her to write Arcadia put the rest of the album into a different perspective for me. Even when Lana's not talking about him specifically on a certain song, she's talking about her life after they split and how that impacted her. I almost wonder if she added Thunder and Nectar onto the album because she felt like she was back in that sort of point/situation in her life again. Cherry Blossom I think was added because of baby Phoenix and Lana generally thinking more about motherhood, and then Living Legend might have just been because she saw it leaked and remembered how much she loves that song. The whole album is just so interesting to me in that way. Note: I don't want to speculate on Lana's relationship with Sean or Clay or anything like that because I don't feel it's my place to do so, I'm more so just going off of things she's said and the lyrical content. I could talk about how smart her writing is forever

Black Bathing Suit to me is more so about the public's perception of her and her feelings towards them, and even her feelings towards herself. It's not a song that talks to a romantic partner specifically, in my opinion, but rather expresses that she would like one. But I can see how it could be taken as being about Clay. The only songs I think on this album are about him in some form are BB (him being the "man that's still right here") and maybe VFR depending on when she wrote it, although at first I did get more of a Sean vibe from that song.

When he posted about Blue Banisters he didn't even put the name of the album I don't see him as being a particularly bitter person and obviously him and Lana are still friends, but it's still kind of funny nonetheless

The editor-in-cheif of Interview Magazine posted a picture of Lana on his story with the caption "LA what's good"...do we think we're getting another cover?

I was upset about it at first, but now that we've heard it, I'm so happy that Dealer wasn't on Chemtrails. It needed to wait for Blue Banisters.

Most of Lana's streams are coming from NFR and BTD (and BB right now) from the GP, so the reason why Honeymoon's streams are lower is because it really is mostly or even only fans streaming it Honeymoon deserves so much better

If You Lie Down With Me vs Art Deco

My issue with Fantano is that he likes to pretend that he doesn't have an obvious bias against Lana. When she first got big, he full on said that he thinks she's only famous because of the way she looks. I could give less of a shit about what he thinks of the music but that just really bugs me that he said that. But anyways, it rained where I'm at all day, so I went for a drive through the autumn leaves and the rain while listening to the album. It was stunning. Lana picked the perfect release date for BB. I can't imagine it being released during any other season.

Almost as if it were your own life...hmm... Side note: every time the name of this thread pops up in my notifications I crack up

I bet that if she is on here, she's not a poster. It's either that or she actually is the icon, the legend, @IanadeIrey

What if she already has I've always wondered if Lana's ever been an LB lurker
