    Ya, I know about it. What I’m asking is- the demo-sounding track on the must-not-be-named website, the track labeled Dealer, with the lyrics 

     

    You make my head spin honey

    like the record machine sways my body

     

    has it been floating around for awhile? Is it an old song that I missed somehow? I googled the lyrics and couldn’t find anything 


    idk if that’s her, unless someone purposefully lowered it and edited it, could just be something random but it is a bop

    I'm really happy that most of her songs are not political, that she is almost not political. She got always into trouble when it came to political issues on twitter.

     

    Her QFTC seems to be her extent of political/cultural on social platforms, imagine that in song form.. lordie may

    She seems to hit the right level of political exploration in her songs that it's not so political/controversial that it's exhausting and polarising and inaccessible

    nope - it honestly deserved it's spot on Chemtrails

     

     

    So we should give the songs Lana may intend to be on BB a chance to belong on the album, regardless of if we've heard them or not

    If it makes sense within' the context of the album and they are produced freshly and coherently with everything else, then what's the problem? (i'm not asking you, it's more a general question)

    I really do like that definition that if a song is tainted with social issues or culture matters that it could be a political song. I never thought of that that way. By that definition, then yes, I guess, she did write at least 5-6 political songs. (Yes I know, I just contradicted my last post lol)

     

    I thought your first post was very interesting, I mean that in of itself makes sense. They are peace-related but then that does make the other post about "making a neutral political statement is a political statement" seem more relevant

     

    This is actually a really interesting topic, I don't think there's any right or wrong answers, it's all up to interpretation depending on our individual perspectives. 

     

    I should really give a listen to Finneas' album, I'm interested to hear his take on political songs

    Yosemite is the og version tho...

     

    But it never leaked and we never heard it before it was released

     

    After you heard Yosemite on CoCC did you count it as an unreleased song because you knew of it or as a new song because you'd never heard it before?

    It could've originally been a completely different song, but we wouldn't know cause we never heard it

    We knew the title but we had no idea what it sounded like

     

    The BlackBeauty demo leaked, Architecture leaked before it became TNBAR, so we knew what they could be

    And they still ended up differently.

    What's your point?

    I really hope that whatever unreleased tracks end up making the album, that there is something different about them. Unpopular opinion, but I enjoy when she has a new take on a previously heard song. 

     

    Literallllllllllly, from the examples we've heard before: Black Beauty and The Next Best American Record (you can't count Yosemite or LMLYLAW since we never heard the OG versions) they have turned out much different (at least production wise) from the originals, you can't even compare them to the demos. If she releases unreleased tracks (that we've only already heard because of leakers and not Lana's choice) then they will most definitely be different and have a new take. I'm so exhausted by people complaining about unreleased tracks on the album. The fact we call them "unreleased" is justification enough. THEY WEREN'T EVEN MEANT TO BE HEARD BY US. How hard is that for people to understand??

    high by the beach advocated for cannabis' legalisation :true:

     

    i agree with you that text book comes across much more "biographically" - it is such a complex song lyrically and thematically, i haven't fully digested it, but at the very least, it's not politically neutral, and therefore i would say it is a political song

     

     

     

    Definitely agree on the cannabis front, HBTB is my anthem, let's go legalisation in Australia!!

     

    But damn, I never thought of that, you also made me gasp when I read your post. I guess even referencing a political action is a political statement in itself. The fact that she was protesting and makes a statement of "if only you did the same as me" (to her father) is a political action in itself. Oof, I love that

    interesting thread! thx for the tag :)

    i think what defines a political song is when lana has a clear political motive behind it. god bless america, coachella, when the world was at war are all political songs (imo) because the subject matter and what they’re about is quite clear.

    change could be considered one of them because it talks about the tensions between nuclear warfare.

    the greatest mentions trump and kanye, and climate change and seems more a comment on culture not politics.

    looking for america is a response to gun violence and was a charitable song, so i think that is political too.

    i don’t consider textbook political as it just has a brief line that relates to politics but also was something lana did with the people it’s about. however it could be considered political as it talks about changing history in textbooks, and potentially creating a better world and legacy  (?)

    would love to see others opinions :D

     

    My pleasure! thank you for the inspiration!

     

    I love seeing your opinion, everybody's interpretation is valid because we all have such different perspectives. I hadn't thought of Change as being a political song, I always took it as a very violent (ironically since it's such a soft ballad) personal song, I never thought to think of it as political. I'll have to give it a re-listen with this new perspective. I agree with "The Greatest" it definitely seems like a more cultured exploration, I'm curious to listen back to that now as well!

    Even Textbook for me it always seemed like she was talking about how her "damaged" relationship with her parents were almost textbook because of how "cliche" her "daddy issues" were, but I'm curious to hear it in a different light.

     

    I'm so happy I made this thread now ahaha

    I've always seen Lana's political songs as WTWWAW, GBA, Coachella, Change, The Greatest and Looking For America. And it's not a song, but Paradise Is Very Fragile on Violet is quite political as well

     

    It's funny I never thought of Change or the Greatest as political songs, I'm excited to re-listen to them with a different perspective.

    I NEVER EVEN THOUGHT TO REFERENCE HER VIOLET POEMS. I read that book in one sitting last year, now that I have the vinyl I need to re-listen to it and try to really digest it, I honestly gasped when you mentioned Violet ahaha

    We randomly got onto the subject of political Lana songs over in the BB pre-release thread and I decided to actually make this thread to get to the bottom of things.

     

    For a quick reference I guess Looking for America, When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing, God Bless America - All the Beautiful Women In It... would be political songs (but why?)

     

    But surely there are others. For you, what constitutes a political song? What would a political Lana song be? Is Coachella - Woodstock in My Mind political? It references the nuclear missile crisis with North Korea but is also more about taking the time to appreciate what you have. But would you say it's still political? Text Book (from the upcoming album Blue Banisters) references the BLM protests but the song seems to be more biographical as opposed to solely political, but what do you think?

     

    I'm honestly curious now that we've been talking about

     

    Spoiler

    Is GoGo Dancer about the inequality of sex workers in the modern day?? I'm joking, I'm just trying to keep it fun okay guys

     

    This is dedicated to @daddyauerbach, @Style and @COCC for inspiring me

    textbook 

     

    Hmmm, i guess it is kind of political with the BLM part but I would say it's more autobiographical, idk now it makes me think what constitutes a political song? Referencing current political/social events or actually exploring the concepts on a greater scale? Like LookingForAmerica is political cause it's about America and gun violence whereas TB seems more biographical with a reference to a political/cultural movement that was happening at the time..?

     

    Now I feel more inclined to make a political thread to figure this out

    imo the political songs on LFL were done well for a first attempt - When The World Was At The War is really great criticism

     

    I think we need to make a thread about lana's political songs because I have totally forgotten most of them :eek3:

    And i agree with you about WTWWAW, that was a strong one
