    I thought Lana didn’t eat meat (at least back in 2012) and had a vegan thanks giving with her sister in 2017. She talked about wanting German Shepards on a live stream not long ago (so she must like animals). She also talked about Greta Thunberg in a recent interview. I love Lana but it’s sad that she’s supporting the fur/leather industry and that her words don’t line up with her actions. I’m vegan so of course I don’t agree with killing animals unnecessarily in any way but the fur industry is SO OBVIOUSLY wrong that I don’t understand why she supports it, let alone thinks it’s a good idea to post on instagram.

    Fucking charming, isn't it?
     
    But plenty of people on this board won't want to know about this and/or will defend it, of course.

    Every time I see one of Neil's posts on my insta feed I get so sad thinking about what we could have had if she was still working with him

    I'm more worried about when she's gonna do her hair as classy again and wear a cute short dress that isn't white and lacy. 
    Those heels are so fucking nice tho
     
    I wish she went into it more. Shed be the only person that could get me interested in lifting. 
    But the first thought that came to my head was the daily workout routine that Marilyn Monroe did, which I don't believe was powerlifting but I wouldn't be surprised if that gave her the inspiration

    Whoops! When I came back to this thread after researching I realized you'd only asked about BTD specifically. Anyway, the better question is when hasn't Lana talked about her music being autobiographical. Here is a non-exhaustive list of instances in interviews where Lana, or an interviewer paraphrasing her, has specifically used the word "autobiographical" to describe her music:
     
    Her early songs
    "autobiographical and very dark" source
     
    AKA
    "my first songs were pretty autobiographical... I talked about a lot of stuff in my first record" source
    "my first LP with David Kahne... was unconventional, autobiographical and cinematic" source
    "my first record, it was autobiographical and beautiful" source
     
    BTD
    "dark, autobiographical, glamorous and something like exuberant and cinematographic" source
    "my new songs are still autobiographical and cinematic" source
    "consistently autobiographical" source
    "As for subject matter, she's sticking to the autobiographical: 'Love is the easiest thing to write about, because I know it well....And loss is just as easy, because I know it well too.'" source
     
    "Ride"
    "That's autobiographical! ...It's about my own life" source
    "her “Ride” video, which she tells me is autobiographical" source
     
    "Ultraviolence" (song)
    "autobiographical elements" source
    "She’s vague on whether this theme might be autobiographical. 'I guess I would say, like, I’m definitely drawn to people with a strong physicality,' she says with a shrug, 'with more of a dominant personality.'" source
     
    UV
    Interviewer calls it "a collection of autobiographical songs" in between direct quotes. source
     
    All her albums
    Pitchfork: "Which of your albums is the most autobiographical? LDR: "All of them." source
    "I feel that the three records [bTD, Paradise, and UV] were so heavy and autobiographical. It's been so cathartic." source
     
    Her music generally
    "But I don't long for a mythic past. I have my own mythic past. I don't talk about it, no one would believe me anyway. But I can say: All of my songs are autobiographical, I don't have to dramatize anything." source
    "No, it's completely autobiographical. Yeah, 100%." source
    "when it comes to my own music it’s 100% autobiographical" source
    Implied her music was autobiographical like Biggie Smalls source
    "the lyrics are autobiographical, and it’s mostly about death and love" source
    "I'd say 90% [autobiographical]. Usually what happens is all of the verses are always autobiographical up until the chorus...by the time I get to the chorus I might start singing about the way I wished that they had been." source
    "Everything I was writing was so autobiographical" source
    Interview with James Franco where she insists she is generally "writing about things autobiographically", but says of "Florida Kilos": "That song in particular is not autobiographical." Says she "didn't monitor [herself]" on UV and that is was "candid". Suggests "Honeymoon" might not be as autobiographical as other albums. Describes her songwriting as "you get to tell your story", "documenting your life", and states "you don't know any story better than your own". source
     
    Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself; I am large - I contain multitudes.
    "I find myself sometimes going back and forth between writing autobiographically and living vicariously through my own lyrics. It’s a form of escapism for me in some ways, now that I don’t go out much. So, definitely, if you’re lucky enough to do what you love, it can be your whole life. I’m very lucky." source

    Venice Bitch is obviously a great song, but it's clearly not her strongest lyrical effort, let's be real. Also, the long/hazy/dry musical outro basically beefs up what is a pretty ordinary song to begin with. Just because it's ten minutes long, doesn't make it one of her best song.

    I honestly think the HM is one my favorite music videos tbh it's so beautiful and I wish her music videos of that era were like that

    on the drive home today I listened to Mariners, and it was such a beautiful experience. Watching the sun set, sipping warm apple cider, I felt like Lana was hugging me with her words and making me feel okay, and I really needed this. One of her best songs of the era and of her career, lyrically and sonically.

    I think artists don't have a lot to say on the price of their tickets most of the time. Maybe Harry's team is super cool with him and agreed for a low price on the tickets? The situation is kind of ambiguous. At first, Billie Eilish was selling tickets for 20$ too, but the prices increased a lot as she got famous and she said she hated that. In 2011, Sia was negotiating the price of her tickets to be able to sell them as cheap as possible, but again, as she got more known a few years later, the prices increased.
    I guess Lana never really cared about the prices and her team kept selling expensive tickets. I don't think it's Lana's decision, she's too lazy to care haha

  23. ileftthisacchoneys liked a post in a topic by sirensXsilence in Mermaid Motel (demo) ♥ my first lana music video   
    I really like it. It reminds me of her old homemade videos, especially with the vintage 2d animation clips mixed in. I also really like the anime clips, which I don't think I've seen in these kinds of videos.
