Nobody: Lana: NFR out top of the year! Lanaboards: yaaaaay new era Lana months later: Interscope: iTunes: Spotify: Me: I was rooting for you!! We were all rooting for you!!!

So I can see where "fuck it I love you" is meant to be on my US Spotify but obvs cant actually click and listen to the song. Wtf?? This means it must be coming soon af. Get it together Liz.

Waking up on my bday thrilled to listen to the NZ leak of two new songs and.. oh.

Nope more like Worcestershire sauce, don't ask

Be my once in a lifetiiiii me Y'all ready for Lana to make her acting debut as Priscilla but it bombs but sis decides she's actually always wanted to be an actor and then every album she makes after is just a soundtrack for the Lifetime / Hallmark movies she stars in and produces?

I'm happy to move on but in order to do that I need sis to actually release TG / FIILY vids (and for people to get some self awareness on their reactionary replies misunderstanding me). Ugh who am I to wanna try when no one gives a damn

This is actually why I originally looooved Lana. Bc that sort of artistic juxtaposition between the real and the fake, the gritty and the glam, seemed so poignant and meaningful like "hey look how the American dream is all a facade" Which is why I think her now seeming like "oh I wish we could all just be sweet and peaceful without guns, and just fly the American flag without thinking AB the history" seems hollow . It's like she's backstepping her original message OR that she was not actually that deep in the first place. Which is honestly fine, it's her art and her life. Its just a let down

So my having an opinion ab the song means that I require Lana to act a certain way or talk about certain things? Do people really think these issues exist in a vacuum? I'm not saying Lana needs to discuss unrelated issues - just that she should actually understand the issues she's discussing. That's great you individually are all for LFA or whatever. None of you have actually addressed what ive actually said -just whether or not I have the right to say it?? Wtf Btw how any of you can see my profile pic and think I post anything on here with a straight face is beyoooond me. It's so crazy to me how commentary that someone disagrees with gets taken as a personal attack. Glad the song means a lot to you! I explained what it meant to me. Can we not both say so? Lol

yeah see youre missing the point. i juuuust said i dont want anything from Lana. i am commenting on her song, i'm not demanding action or anything from her. besides - im criticizing her for speaking out on an issue in a vapid shallow way that doesnt reflect the actual issue and in fact plays into far right narratives that fuel mass violence like this. and she's not gonna see what i said, so its actually just you who has an issue with even reading my perspective. i guess its easier to just pretend everything is cute. glad youre comfortable enough to do so re-read what i said bc i literally jsut said i dont expect anything from Lana, and that i prefer a song to a manifesto lol. she's trying, great. i'm just sharing my opinion, not trying to force anyone to agree with me, or force Lana to be more "woke." but im with you on her just trying to be helpful or whatever, and that's great, and that shes donating proceeds. if literally just mentioning the history of mass violence in america is "fake wokeness" then DAMN some of yall must really be sheltered af.

Except mass shootings have been a thing for a long time, so you're proving the original point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wounded_Knee_Massacre https://www.rawstory.com/2019/08/the-disturbing-link-between-modern-day-mass-shootings-and-slave-patrols/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_massacres_in_the_United_States Ignoring this history is what people are taking issue with. This isn't inserting division, it's reflecting reality. Learning ab this sort of thing (a long standing culture of mass violence) is more helpful to stopping shootings than platitudes, road trips, and dreams.

Thank u sweetie and yes exactly ! It's like someone has to say it or everyone can ignore reality just like Lana. Sorry for talking ab the culture of violence that enables mass shootings and shit y'all! I guess maybe if we just ignore it we'll all get shot up and won't have to worry about it ever bc we'll be typing forever on the Lanaboards of Hell

Y'all hard missed my point. I don't want Lana to be "more woke" - and LFA didn't spark my criticism. Lana's been showing her ass re: shallow understanding of political reality since LFL, and it woke me up. I thought BTD was political , I thought it was a satire playing with how even a rich starlet has to face the underbelly of society , but I guess it was never that substantial. I don't want Lana to address nuanced issues like homeless gays or immigration bc I doubt she has much worthwhile to say about it, and that's fine! I don't want Lana to do anything really. I was sharing my perspective on what LFA and this whole era made me think ab and feel. It shows blind spots in HER perspective on issues, by centering herself and ppl like her. There was a mass shooting targeting Latinx people - race, class, etc etc, is actually a genuinely huge factor in what's going on. It's a massive part of the situation. Lana wants to exist in a fishbowl , whatever. That's my take. It's not glowing compliments from a sycophantic fan, but it's my take. I'm not freaking out about it either. 99% of my posts here are jokes, nonsense, or mild trolling. I was being hyperbolic and sarcastic to point out the hypocrisy in some of Lana's most recent lyricism and shite Criticism actually is an important part of art, just as much as appreciation. I appreciate Lana trying , but I think it falls shallow and flat. And you can look at her words to see obvious blindspots she has regarding issues that affect her at a "cellular level"... That's all I am saying. Believe it or not, my energy ab issues such as this gets directed towards real action outside of Lanaboards. I get on here for fun, not serious political discussion (especially since only like 5 people here can even keep up) I'm glad she's donating proceeds. Wonder if she's also donating to Churchome.

Don't you have like a meth dealer to suck off or something?

I've never met a blunt strong enough to bring me peace of mind but I've been destroying my lungs trying

Shouldn't you be like reading your Bible in Walmart or something?

Honestly I think a song would be better than a manifesto from Lana - but if it rings as vapid as her lyricism or poetry, i don't think the world needs it fr. Like Lana's profiting off of people's misplaced emotions around society crumbling and it all just seems so shallow "We used to only worry about the children at night " -- who's kids? Just the rich white debutantes in pink dresses? Not homeless gay kids on the street, not immigrant children ripped from parents and kept in state custody under armed guard (oh my, guns!), not child laborers abroad sewing shitty merch! Does Lana "believe in the country America used to be" as in like MAGA or before white Invaders committed genocide against the indigenous people there? (With guns!!) If only we could all jus sit straight christian white rich and pretty in our Norman fucking Rockwell painting lives and fly the American flag at the 4th of July barbeque and watch fireworks and ignore the bloodshed (from guns!) that vacated the land so the concrete patio could get poured. Lana can playfully run from cops in Venice Bitch video with no worry, it's just fun with the neighborhood kids! Just be privileged enough and you don't have to worry ab the cops shooting you (with guns!) Let's just fly the flag and shoot fireworks and ignore all this, and ignore anything that might actually help America confront its culture of violence. It's just a dream I had in mind! If Lana wants to make a statement so blatantly vapid and ignorant, honestly she should keep it to herself. She's not helping anyone do anything but center her own first world issues and ignore reality.

its like, it's cute Lana wants a version of America without the guns, where the flag can freely fly ...... but can she at least pretend to be interested in the history that got America to the place it is now? like , maybe without centuries of slavery, genocide, imperialism, and a monopoly on violence and militaristic power within and without US borders, the flag wouldn't seem so tainted. maybe if the US wasnt a huge weapons manufacturer / exporter , maybe if America govt and culture wasn't so tolerant of white supremacy and far right terrorist ideology, maybe if people actually educated themselves ab issues before writing songs about them, we could all just hold hands and sing kumbaya. but here we are, with a completely fucked up, yet traceable and accessible, history of violence against certain groups (aka everyone but rich straight christian white folk) , and people like Lana are like "huh, i wonder why everythings so fucked up"

i dont have anything to add, i just think these should be posted again for the internalized homophobic faggots in the back

http://www.justjared.com/2019/08/08/lana-del-rey-heads-out-after-attending-a-wednesday-night-church-service/ im sooooooooo excited to listen to jesus fucking hillsong! and contribute to the fame and fortune of my fave homophobic gay icon

and Coachella - Woodstock in my mind is like the sad black sheep middle sister that no one treats with respect or dignity

"Fuck It I Love You Muscle Beach Baby" miiiiiiiiiight make me forgive Lana just for those notes in the chorus feeling like the sunset beating on your chest at the beach that feels like the desert while all the blood in all your hearts runs in streams through the forgotten wasteland of times where love is lost and yet returned. Tho I'm holding out till the full album leaks to know for sure

i was just joking around. Lana deserves happiness as much as every starving child in Yemen, BUT after grazing the past several pages , i would say that those whose entire focus on the sacred grounds of Lanaboards.com is writing psuedo eloquent essays regarding their pseudo highbrow appraisal of Lana Del Rey's supposed artistic persona (and her ears' adherence to made up beauty standards) do not deserve happiness and should instead die cold, bitter, and lonely, forever repeating the past 6 months of relentlessly WAITING for Nomaam Fucking Cockhell to finally get released, in a loop like groundhog day. And only once they realize that the world and everything in it does not exist only for the critical gaze of the western white male incel , will they finally be released from the curse to listen to Cardamom Grrrl in its full HQ glory BUT! IF THIS DOESNT HAPPEN BEFORE THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SETS ON THE 16TH ANNIVERSARY OF HONEYMOON SHE SHALL PRICK HER STINGER ON THE SPINDLE OF A SPINNING WHEEL AND FALL INTO A DARK AND DREAMLESS SLEEP FOR ONE HUNDRED YEARS!!!!! must be the season of the witch

bold of you to assume Lana's happiness matters

soooo no new songs? no new snippets in the trailer? weird as fuck just literally throw it at the wall and see what sticks aesthetic? uhhhhh, vaguely christian self help therapy narration? bambi? surfing? the only coherent vibe is the ocean and tbh i havent really felt the surf vibes ???? maybe shes like, at a gift shop on the boardwalk or something idek ?? we've already basically heard a bit every song except maybe 2? i- uh.. i - why am i even still here anticipating this album? has this been a curse? im just... this era man. Lana really did that

ok hmu with the leekx whenever yall get it thnx
