  1. BuZhidao liked a post in a topic by Unidentified Major Tom in LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships   
    I don't really know and I have no concrete evidence, but I still think the song NFR is about Jonathan Wilson, and maybe other songs of the album, and also some poems of Violet.
     
    It is a long post, sorry about that.
     
    From L.A. mag :
    https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/how-jonathan-wilson-accidentally-rebooted-the-laurel-canyon-music-scene/
    "he is first and foremost known for revitalizing the Laurel Canyon music scene, the neighborhood that was home to Joni Mitchell"
     
    I think he is the resident Laurel Canyon who she is talking about, he has a lot of influence there where he lived and set up a studio where he collaborated with many artists as a producer. I could see him throwing parties and organize some jam sessions with friends often.
    Maybe Lana felt a little bit forsaken.
     
    In NFR :
    "You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you"
     
    In the Bird World demo version of NFR :
    "Heard you're back in the bar again
    Hangin' out with your stupid friends
    Playing with your guitar again
    But I don't fucking care"
     
    It reminds me of the white mustang music video where the guy, wearing long hair, was producing music or in a party instead of taking care of her, so she left. 
     
    About that, it was said that the video were supposed to be made in first intention for Best American Record. He could be the musician she was talking about, writing his own record with her (she collaborated in his album Rare Birds) :
    "He was seventies in spirit, nineties in his frame of mind"
    The Laurel Canyon scene was at its peak in the 70s, with CSNY for example, who he collaborated with. 
    And suddenly in NFR, Lana namedrops the Eagles, CSNY and Joni Mitchell.
     
    "But you were so obsessed with writing
    The next best American record
    That there was nothing left by the time we got to bed
    Baby, that's a shame
    You were so obsessed with writing
    The next best American record
    You did it all for fame"
    I know this could stand for Barrie, but I never saw him seeking fame.
     
    I think their albums "Rare Birds" and NFR (what about Bird World ?) talk about each other. About the name "Rare Birds", Jonathan said that it stands for two lovers like two unique individuals who met and fell in love.
    There are several songs in Rare Brids that make me feel are about Lana. 
     
    Mulholland queen :
    "You are perched up on the ridge of town"
    "Oh baby, you're so blue and wise"
    "With the babies breath in a crown-like shape"
    "Through your laugh, I can breathe in a childlike air
    With you dear, I'm in awe of a creature rare
    With your tender smile and your pretty little dress
    With your jazz in your heart, you don't need all the rest"
    "From the curves of Bel Air to Topanga Creek
    As we hear what the masters have sang us before
    All the Billie and the Chet and the Pharaoh of yore"
    "Under those big eucalyptus'
    Where your grasses are green
    Where you sway under the heavens
    And your dominion is every...
    Star"
    This last sentence is almost repeated in the poem "La who I am to love you" :
    "With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion"
    Furthermore, for those who don't know, Lana loves Billie Holiday and Chet Baker.
     
    Loving you :
    "To wake up with you
    Thats all I wanna do
    Billie she was skipping all night
    We didn’t even notice her"
    "A match thats made beyond
    The barricades of space and of time"
    "Oh complex you
    I know just what i will do
    I’ll simply write another verse of you
    A melody to keep you inside"
    "Mostly talent
    Most mystic
    The rest it is magic"
    Nota Bene : Lana is credited on this song (although we don't hear her).
    Also, this song has a "summertime madness" edit version :
     
    There's a Light :
    "There is a garden
    In the expanse of your mind
    The harvest will speak volumes in due time"
    "You are America and you are everyone
    You are the miracle of love
    With all your children at your feet
    You are the ocean from above
    So dear so deep"
     
    Sunset Blvd :
    "There's a cherry on top tonight
    For men who look like jesus tonight
    If you play your cards right
    You can be the the son of god tonight
    You were thin you were undersized for the spring
    You entered your name just as "tight blue jeans"
    In my phone I guess you do this kind of thing"
    I def see her doing this
     
    Living with myself (ft. Lana) :
    "The lies, I start to believe them"
    Lana in Bare feet on linoleum :
    "and the lies, they
    started to believe them"
     
    Hard to get over :
    "The way you make love
    Makes me see my funeral
    On my wedding day
    The way you’re daddy’s girl
    I’ve watched the reel
    I still don’t believe it"
     
    Otherwise, I think he is the John in How to disappear :
    "John met me down on the boulevard
    Cried on his shoulder 'cause life is hard"
     
    For the timeline we know they dated in 2016, and maybe in 2017 (we have pics of Lana attending a Pink Floyd show on june 2017 in which Jonathan Wilson toured as a guitarist). 
     
    Maybe all this is too far fetched, but I really thinks he had a big impact on her, and on her art.
    This is my interpretation that I had in mind since a long time, and of course I could be totally wrong.

    when it turns out that "bittersweet anthem" is a glitch-pop catholic psychedelic synth folk cover of "bittersweet symphony"

    For anyone who wants to visit, she was at the St. Colman Outdoor Church in Cazadero, CA.
    It's also one of the few places you can have a Catholic outdoor wedding (they have to take place in a church).

    By evidence of @BuZhidao I’ve changed the name of the thread 
     
    Also, could a mod move this to the 2022 section — it was definitely done on the day of this picture shared by @takemybreath
     

     
    can someone get a date on this?

    I guess unpopular opinion but I love it. I love how dark, unsettling, and eerie it feels. The production is incredible too.

    because it’s the woman’s awards issue and the woman of the year is Always the cover of that. she is not woman of the year, sza is.
    this has nothing to do with ben or ed 
     
    why do people always want someone to blame  sometimes it just is what it is

    If you eat vegetables in this country or buy literally anything in this world you are financially supporting slavery or wage theft in some way. Systemic problems require systemic solutions. Policing individuals is a bourgeoisie way to feel morally superior without actually doing anything about the issue. Also the stans of other artists who do way shiftier promos for really bad companies jumping in on this is….the hypocrisy is deafening. At the end of the day they’re just bullying a woman to get a kick out of their day. I’m sorry its occurring while she just lost her gramma who was extremely special to her

    So uhm I was having technical difficulties and then I fell asleep while it was uploading but here's my recording of the live-
     
    Still can't believe she went live for almost 2 hours and how much she revealed, I had to cancel my plans last minute to watch it but I'm so glad that I did. I really love how open she was with us.

    Right? It's not like they had sheets of questions prepared to ask her, it was all very organic and on the spot and she was clearly trying to connect with people, asking about their lives and not making it into an interview

    why are you guys and ppl in the comment section being so mean..? like she’s having a conversation with someone and we’re blessed enough to watch her speak her mind. Wanting her to answer questions about her album and about her music is almost degrading when she’s having a nice conversation with someone. I’m so happy for Bryan and Zack because imagine how happy they are. y’all need to pull it together and remember she clearly isn’t a statue and is a human. I’m just in awe at how many disrespectful people i saw saying stuff like “this twinks been holding her for 10 minutes” like seriously….
