Just found this cover of California and felt that the arrangement is quite more elegant and meticulous than the original version. I actually like how it sounds, and the original version doesn't actually do anything for me, so wanted to share it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL_DGjMxbq4

Cultural elitism doesnt make for a good debating argument, yet it showcases a problematic way to look other people at. Don't really see the point on taking what should be a healthy, funny discussion towards music, to a series of nonsense, personal attacks within the forum members. I really hope that nobody has to start keeping their legitimate views to themselves, as long as they are respectfully exposed, because of fearing being judged like this. Let's keep the dialogue enjoyable for all.

You are the Monica Geller of production, and I'm worried that I relate to you a lot!

That's kind of what 13 Beaches and some other songs on LFL made me feel (the ones that had an aesthetic consistency on the album -13 Beaches, Heroin, WTWWATW, etc.´), but with BAR I felt that the attempt to develop that vision was failing. Also I hoped that on the new version it would have been reworked on a way that I would like, but it just didn't happen.

I It's funny, cause these two things are maybe the ones that make me cringe the most about the song xd Thank you for the feedback, it's a very nice thing to discuss approachs to music without it becoming some kind of nonsense conflict!

I love this site because I can read views like this one towards songs which I feel absolutely the opposite about. I've thought, since the demo -which I liked better than the final version- that it's one of her worst released songs ever (the official version being, from my view, a strong contender for her worst released song ever). What are the things that make you love it, instead? Curious to know and listen to it again from another point of view.

I haven't seen this. It seems that Kanye West isnt't that "gone", after all xd

If this ends up being true -although it truly seems like a fan-started rumour-, I'll be happy for her finally getting recognition, but also so fucking upset about the critics having ghosted all her previous work, which I think she's put quite more effort in than she has on NFR.

Tropico was an amazingly scripted and directed short movie, with a decent budget and lots of creativity and work put on it. I think you shouldn't be worried this will be "another Tropico", as it definetly wont xd

All of the boys tell me lies But you torture them to get their answers clear I pretend that I can't 't hear...

Best comment of October in this forum

Outfits, shows and performances. Her concerts by that time were somehow hypnotising, she just didn't seem to be from this world. Also her first dates from 2017 (Oya, Manchester, London, etc.).

Ironically, I think that after what NFR was lyric-wise, if the critics called her "the best next American songwriter" regarding her writing on the album, a poetry book wouldn't make any damage to her artistic image. Even I, that found her poems cringy and weak, think that they are miles better than anything that she wrote for NFR (except maybe Hope).

Each show she does I'm more convinced about her hating performing. I don't have a problem with what happened during For free - I relate a lot to the fact of suddenly disconnecting from reality, and think that in her case she just got abducted by the music; actually saw that as a cute moment-, but the backtracks on the most basic songs, and in the most basic venues are incredibly embarrasing. I have never had the chance to see her performing live, but I'm sure I wouldn't waste a cent on doing that right now. I enjoy her music on a very deep level, and maybe it's just a fact that live performances aren't her thing, so there shouldn't be much to expect from them either.

Justice for Keds

I'm shocked at how is she looking again in terms of face fillers. I thought it couldn't get worse after the Gucci Guilty promo, and was relieved that she started looking better some months after, but she's now even more exaggerated in that dep..

This show seems to have been one of her most special ones till date. Any chance she may have recorded it for a DVD?

Yesterday I was thinking it's her worst tour by far. Can't understand what she's going for with this level of mediocrity, never seen something as this on other artists I follow.

And I thought that LATTM Tour was lacking... Fuck, that is so true it hurts.

Hey Why there's no one discussing tonights show?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M7MSFbTV8o Hey Is it me or she playbacked TWICE the whole chorus of the song?

Lana's keyboard player posted on his stories the editing process of a pro recording from her duet with Joan Baez. Maybe we can expect some pro live videos!

Didn't actually remember which show she talked about... So maybe she has prepared a new ultra backtracked version for Blue Jeans and Born to die... Can't wait to hear them!

She said something about Zella Day and Weyes Blood some days ago. Surely they are the reasons.
