strange weather

so the live performance is a little different than the recorded version, right? when i first listened to it i was convinced it was "drinking cherry COLA" (because of the background vocals) but then it became clear to me that it was COKE (esp. since it rhymes better with 'note'). however--in the live version she is clearly singing "cola." hmmmm

i can't believe ppl are complaining about the setlist. we could have gotten the old standards but lana actually opted to do something brand new. this is a good sign, i think, of things to come. florida kilos would have been amazing, though.

do we know what lana's songwriting process is? does she pull out a guitar (lol but she used to play, right?) and get a melody and then producers create an instrumental? does she sing something acapella and then producers create an instrumental? or does she get sent an instrumental and writes over it? has she ever commented on this?

i'm so emotional rn, lmao. thank you @! please upload whatever else you have! i appreciate it. i'm so jealous of those of you who were there. this show makes me wonder if lana has anything else up her sleeve. either way, i'm just so about lana finally acknowledging, let alone singing, her unreleased stuff.

i am dying for the full vids. omg. she just renewed my fervor.

i was fully prepared for lana to do the same ole setlist & be really disappointed but OMFGGG!!! god blessed the lana fandom today i'm literally in shock but SO HAPPY.

crying this is the best thing that could have ever happened all i've wanted is for her to sing unreleased songs live & now it's happening!!

nvm

personally i don't care about the charts, BUT i want her to do promo because i want HQ live performances and video interviews it doesn't make sense to drop a song/video and then forget about it. (or an album, for that matter *coughultraviolencecough*)

oh, same. there's something for everyone in her unreleased stuff, IMO. it's all so enjoyable that there are only a few tracks i actively dislike. if i overplay half her discography, there's always another half to listen to. isn't it a rare thing to have SO MUCH of an artists unreleased work? how was she so prolific? i'm fascinated by the worlds inside of those songs & the circumstances of her recording them as well. sorry, /rant "serial killer" has been a favorite for some time, but there's something really addictive about it recently. i wish it could have had a music video in the style of her ellen van unwerth shoot.

i think lana will be looked back upon as an icon/innovator/part of the 2010s zeitgeist. going forward, i think she will be around as long as she wants to be. we know how prolific lana can be & how a part of her music-making is. i think we have a lot of albums to look forward to.

this is perfect, honestly, & pretty much confirms what i've felt about the questions of who the "authentic" lana is. the lyrics she writes are about her & they aren't. they are completely her emotionally--but maybe not 100% factually. that's okay. i love the world she has created for herself (& for us). she wrote herself into existence, into notoriety, for better & for worse. it's kinda incredible/completely lucky.

you're gonna love me is really special to me. i think of lana sitting in her NY apt in obscurity, writing this song to get herself through it

me too. it's one of her strangest songs to me. i absolutely love lana's imagination.

& her 2 lesbian fans nah, i'm so used to her music being hyper-heterosexual at this point. oh well. just give me good music!

all i know is that there *needs* to be some upbeat songs on the next album. we know that lana does them exceptionally well & in a style that's all her own. sometimes i listen to her unreleased songs & mourn for the hits that could have been.

i just hope the new album will be different, lyrically. i trust the music will be great as i love pretty much every song i've heard by lana, but i'm craving new subject matter! next fall sounds perfect but i'm kinda doubtful. an EP sometime before the new album would also be very welcome

oh thank you for bringing up what REALLY matters! so brave.

exactly. of course lana wanted to be famous! i mean, have you listened to her songs? lana just didn't expect getting negative press/backlash. she wanted to be adored. i wanna be the whole world's girl, gramma. . .

it's frustrating because we know she has so many other songs she could put in her setlist. she's not limited in any sort of way when it comes to song selections. what's her deal? embrace your entire catalog, lana!

yessss the way she sings million dollar man live is my FAVE. so i'm here for whatever this is.

i had a dream that i was fine / i wasn't crazy / i was divine might be some of my favorite lyrics she's ever written

she's so hot wish the shoot had been more artsy/creative but what can you expect from maxim?? i also wish she was promoting something. ANYTHING at this point. a re-release, tour, single...lana pls
