    i took y'all's advice and went outside. i just kept walking with the endless summer sun beating on the back of my neck.  sometimes i swear i could hear the sound of piano chords being hit in the distance... a faint melody... the smell of PBR and sweat.  it seemed the day lasted for years before the sun began to set.  as i was passing under a bridge, a group of bums were gathered by a small trash can fire.  they were burning copies of Vogue Italia June 2019 for warmth even though it was sweltering.  i was sweating so profusely that i became delirious........ a screeching sound... a car pulls up as my eyes begin to flutter closed. a- a. white.. mustang.

     

    next thing i knew, i was strapped in front of a computer with internet access but all websites were blacklisted except for Lanaboards. I'm here again.  the album still isn't out.  my eyes are held open with those shitty coke spoon necklaces Lana used to sell as merch. i'm praying they break from poor quality soon so i can blink and shut out this horrible computer screen.  idk who my captors are because they always wear masks when they come in to force feed me white bread and matcha, but one of them has long blond hair and these weird fitting jeans that are ripped in the front.  i swear she may have had bunny ears also, idk, maybe that was part of the mask.

     

    i tried to go outside.  this is my story.  you dont wanna be like me, you dont wanna see all the things i've seen .... im dying............ dying :judgingu:  :scream:


    How incredibly dense do you have to be to come here and post that Lana should retire, especially after those 3 superb singles she's released in the past year? 

     

    It's not Lana who should retire. It's her shallow, so called fans who put visuals, the way she dresses and styles her hair and nails and other irrelevant bullshit above actual music. They are the ones who should retire.

     

    The music is the only thing that matters. Everything else is a bonus/irrelevant. 

     

     

    :hide:

    but.... where is the music. key point here

    I summoned a demon to convince Jacking Antonoff to hand over the wav files, ladies. I have the album, it's 14 tracks including the interlude. I've never heard anything more beautiful. The production is spare but when it goes it goes the fuck off. Doin Time is not on it, there are no features, and Hope has an alternate version with diff lyrics and production. I will send it to anyone for only $666 and a signed copy of your firstborn. DM me your bank account info, thanks!

    BtD - lying to herself cuz her liquors top shelf

    UV - because I'm pretty when I cry

    HM - you should've known better than to let her get you under her spell of the weather, now I'm falling for forever, playing these games

    LfL - smoking while I'm running on the treadmill but I'm coming up roses, could it be that I fell for another loser???

    NFR - you just crack another beer - I watched the guys getting high as they fight for the things that they hold dear

    He just fucked her good. from the context we have so far. So she ALMOST thought she loved him. Also can I just say how ridiculous it is that there was an actual discussion about that line with the dude fucking her so good? lol Some people are submissive during sex whatchu gon do about it?

    Oh Lana and her questionable taste in men... She's made a career out of it at least. And wtf some people just want to get fucked, it's called enjoying being alive. And there's power in getting fucked, which is why men are scared of women and gays. I don't like the idea that the only appropriate feminism is when woman try to masculinize themselves. Tho this type of discourse on LB turns into certain folk goin off ab how white men are the most important in history so idfk

    They may be popular, but they're not the kind of musician LDR has seemed to want to be, become, or be associated with. They're pretty much everything she's run from as fast as possible in her own career.

     

    I would as much expect LDR to collaborate with the Jonas Brothers at this stage.

    I hate to agree with you, but I agree 100%. If Lana was trying to be taken 'seriously' as an artist, the last thing I'd expect her to do is collab with actual regular Pop stars. Like no shade to Ariana and Miley - they're not my tea but I respect them bc they seem genuine at least - but I don't see how their music is similar at all to Lana. She was bringing old school to new school and both Miley and Ariana are kind of just run of the mill pop.

     

    If Lana has a collab with Taylor Swift, I'm digging my Stan card out of the shredder, taping it back together, spitting on it, screaming at the sky like Jennifer Love Hewitt in I Know What You Did Last Summertime Sadness, driving to Cha Cha Matcha, lighting my refurbished Stan card on fire, howling a desperate plea to the old gods to reclaim their abortion of a musician, and finally moving on with my life with the kind of peace of mind you get by never thinking of Taylor Swift or Elizabeth Granted-we-were-warned-she-was-fake-af

    Lots of the artists people call “authentic” just have an “authentic-looking” persona. One being whoever they want to be and writing from their soul and taking artistic liberties to bring this artistic vision to life is a lot more authentic than artists whole shtick is “I’m so real and relatable”. Art isn’t about sharing everything about yourself. You write yourself and play yourself in the way you choose. Art is short for artifice. It doesn’t mean artists are “fake”. It’s art.

    i just want to say - art is not short for artifice.  "art" (from latin "ars") came into recorded use in the english language as like "skilled craft" around 1300, while "artifice" first meant something like "ingenuity" and didn't shift in meaning towards "fakery" till around the 17th century.  Artifice comes from Latin "ars" as in skilled craftsmanship, and "facere" meaning "to make."  The "artificial" as in "unnatural and fake" connotation came later.

    There are plenty of artists who hype their personal stories but are not lying or being fake.  Like, is Bjork a mythological Icelandic goddess re-incarnated as a '90s punk to heal the world through music and bridge the rift between nature and technology?  In real life, yeah kind of tbh that's what she does.  MIA is another artist who people have picked apart for her personal story and called inauthentic but a lot of her art comes from the reality of being a refugee fleeing a war zone whose dad founded the Tamil resistance movement, and she has said explicitly that real life is her inspiration because it's what she knows.

     

    Art can highlight something meaningful without being fake.  Art can involve fakeness and still accentuate a truth about reality, or a truth about the artist.  Creating a persona to better tell a story that has meaning and a basis in reality and truth is not uncommon.  People who actually just shapeshift all the time and are different people from one day to the next really do exist, also, and are not necessarily lying as much as just being dynamic individuals.  Lies and fakery just to become famous and make money are, to me, completely fucking worthless and devalue anything they may pretend to be about.  Because at that point it's not "art" it's just a cheap and shallow representation of nothing but aesthetic that does absolutely nothing to actually enrich or explain or give meaning to life and reality for people living with the truth.

     

    This is why I was into Lana at first bc I thought she was saying something deeper than she has now shown she ever was.  And I personally related with whatever persona she was putting on, like probably a lot of us here did.  Because something she was playing at was true and real in my life even if it wasn't in hers.  And maybe she's jsut like cracking under the pressure of being famous in 2019, or maybe she's pregnant and just doesn't want anyone to know but her whole life and career is taking a backseat, or maybe she's been fake the whole time and she's nothing but a basic rich white girl with no care or knowledge about anything but herself and her own touristy experience.  Who knows?  But art =/= fakeness.  Art can be truer than true, and that's what I thought Lana was repping at first, talking about making her life a work of art and blurring the lines between the real and the fake.  That's why I thought she was interesting.  But not if she's actually just fake.

     

    Thank you for attending my seminar

    So I was sleeping last night and then all of a sudden I heard this really sad whisper in my ear. It was Cinnamon. Her poor, frail voice. She told me "goodbye, Arcadia. Some things just weren't meant to be", and then I jolted up in a cold sweat. 

     

    I know you probably think I'm crazy but I know my baby was speaking to me from the other side to let me know she can't be released into the big wide world like God initially intended.

     

    But she's gone. Forever.

     

    My heart yearns and aches for what could have been, but she's in heaven with God now. 

     

    I love you, Cinnamon.

     

    Always.

    every time i close my eyes... it's like a dark paradise

    no one compares to you; i'm scared that you.. wont be waiting on the other side  :lanasrs2:

    I don't see what "unstanning" has to do with our NFR blue balls. For some, it's a matter of closure. I know it is for me. Don't expect to see the same fervor for LDR7, not from this bitch. It should also be taken under consideration that this is a very confusing time for many Lana fans, because it's a confusing time for her as well. No one is here because of 2019 Lana. She's turning into the exact opposite of what she used to be; if she is doing an 180, where does that leave us? It goes without saying that people are bound to be feeling confused and conflicted. It's hard to just cut someone out of your life like that, even if it's just an artist you were a fan of. I'm jealous of, and happy for, anyone who can quit cold turkey. Say "I'm out", delete all her songs and never think about her again. But it's not that easy for many of us. And then you also have the tiny sliver of h*pe that maybe it's just a phase. I don't know why all of this is so hard to understand.

    This exactly, and thank you for censoring potential trigger words in this trying time.  I am done with Elizabeth but this all happened after I got a taste of upcoming album / botched sociology experiment Normorn Forking Rorckworll.  In the alternate reality where NFR actually gets released, I will download the zip for free, listen to Cinnamon once, wipe a single tear from my eye before it drips down my cheek, sniffle, nod to myself several times, then furrow my brow and shake my head once, then toss that floppy disk in the wastebasket - never to await another LDR album again.

     

    then i'll probably dig through the trash to find the floppy disk, listen to the album several more times in secret over the next few weeks, then finally kick all my bad habits one day WITHOUT attending a single church service

    wasnt 'Norman Fucking Rockwell' announced as an album when Venice Bitch came out?  and she said it was done months ago, right?  i can't be the only one remembering this.  no one would have any reason to even expect another album coming out if it hadn't been for Lana herself explicitly saying it.  Now i'm mostly just trying to laugh (and cry) about it while waiting for leaks .   is it that deep?

    This is Norman Fucking Rockwell Pre-Release Thread, a real-time spiritual exercise.  I feel like we're being tested for the next level and will have to pay all my money to L. Rey Hwoolridgegrant for the next in the poetry book series and another round of matcha detox and then maybe we get invited to the secret NFR Island where we are forced to work tirelessly sewing Norman Fucking Rockwell merch.  The album is eventually released and every song is a spare piano ballad with minimal production and wind rushing in the background, but in the Norman Fucking Rockwell Pre-Release Thread, it's always page 2000

    Yeah I'm done with posting here. Some of y'all (yes, y'all) are miserable period. Just say your life revolves solely around Lana and go!

     

    Did I though? Half of the comments are about how annoying her friends are, how she only has white friends, how her friends seem like they're using her, how people wish she didn't have friends (these ones make me laugh). It's just pathetic at this point. You guys shame her for having a life and healthy relationships and its gross.

    Christianity and excess isn't healthy
