strange weather

this seems unpopular--i'm actually enjoying this era! (i mean, despite her refusal to give us a clear release date, which is driving me crazy.) i've been into lana since born to die came out and have been on lanaboards almost as long (under a different username then) so i've experienced every era in real time, but i have to say that i'm more obsessed than ever. i know a lot of fans are losing interest or are frustrated with lana, but this era is solid gold compared to honeymoon and even UV. this is the first time lana has been content and at peace with everything and it makes all the difference. i know UV is legendary now but experiencing that era was not enjoyable. i remember we got a plethora of magazine interviews but they were mostly worrying and disappointing. lana came off as ungrateful and immature and said regrettable things that embarrassed me as a fan. now her outlook has changed and it is very welcome. i feel like all this time i've been waiting for this side of lana to come alive, for her to stop focusing on the negativity that fame brought her and to instead use it to be a force of good. i'm happy she has decided to do just that, in her own lana way.

excuse u haters, graham4anything is iconic.

what? she could totally perform it solo. it would be very strange for her to never play the title track of the album, wouldn't it? ergh, she probably will use that as an excuse but it shouldn't be one.

isn't it like 35 minutes long?

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO INCLUDE A RELEASE DATE FOR ANYTHING

coming SOON?? can that phrase be banned from her vocab?

i'm proud of her for realizing this and saying so--her younger fans who romanticize her songs about destructive relationships especially need to hear this. i'm just astounded by her growth and so excited to hear this album. i can't say it enough. i love where she is coming from this time around because this is what i wished for her, to realize what a good place she is in! the world is at her fingertips & she can do whatever she wants. that is powerful! magical, even! i hope she enjoys the fuck out of this era and really gives her all.

100% sounds like starway. i have to wonder if it was intentional or not?

lmao, fuck them. nothing can be about only women without someone whining. i'm so pumped for this song!

this era is refreshing. i love this evolution of lana--mature, open, thinking on a grander scale. i think she's finally realized what a good position she is in to create her art and she appreciates it now. and talking about the women in her life, omg, my heart. i need to hear "god bless america" immediately.

enjoy your bitterness, i guess.

love is so boring compared to the other 2.

the ending is so magical

where are people hearing the version without skips?

i love it.

the skips are horrible but they can't possibly be part of the final version??? anyway, i don't get the meltdowns. i am loving the vibe of this song and lana not singing about romantic love. contemplative lana is here and i have been ready! it sounds like she is saying "starway" in the background vocals?

so, what is happening with their supposed new album coming out this year? please tell me it didn't get shelved again.

i dislike her but she's really hot tbh.

i didn't realize that was your face, that's fucked up tbh.

it's so strange and misguided to me that her managers would ever threaten to shut this place down. you would think they would be grateful that despite lana's aloofness, she has such a dedicated cult following.

what were they shopping for?? can anyone tell?

IMAGINE?? oh my god the beauty of larina (for real though, can they at least end up in the studio together?)

besties

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN OMG THEY ARE HANGING OUT MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRU

the nose bridge fillers are the only ones that are noticeable to me. why, lana?? well, i know why--the industry isn't kind to "aging" women. sigh. unpop opinion but i think the outfit is cute and unique. classy af.
