I took it as, listen to it like you did my first song, when you didn’t know who I am and I wasn’t famous. No preconceived notions. May or may not mean it actually sounds like VG.

Had me fooled for a minute…until the Boom Like That part

She knows so many people with birthdays Anyway, "Edge of Paradise" would be an amazing song or album title...anyone know why she posted the image from the film of that name? Wondering if it's a clue to something.

Topiary Horse and Lana forever! Other guys tell her lies and cry mugs of boy tears, but TH has been here since Barrie era. No one’s going anywhere. (Neighhhhh) sorry drinking wine

Random thoughts: ”Intimate” is truly the only word for this masterpiece. Video Games 2021 Topiary horse by the pool!! LDR village needs to sell Boy Tears mugs please. Can someone figure out which Slim Aarons book she has at the beginning so I can buy it?!

Hair, makeup, and Sierra Madres all came to slay.

I SCREAMED laughing

Never was there ever a sunburned girl so pretty

I assume Lana is busy with family right now… being an aunt to baby Phoenix. I wonder if she’s already written a song for her, maybe something simple that can be added last minute as a bonus track.

Waiting for a song from Auntie Lana called “Phoenix” now. Could reference the place in Arizona too.

Did Lana wear diamonds for the birth of the baby? For some reason this is all I want to know

How is the Grant family so gorgeous?! There are artists online who’ve made Barbies look like Lana. The only way the cake could be better was if they got one!!

How did she age backwards? She looks like UV era and I’m dead from it ugh this queen

She looks gorgeous and glowing like WOW! Although I don’t personally love the shades, I do love that she’s wearing Gucci and being glam again.

There we were, screaming In the thread, waiting on Blue Banisters...

Rob bringing out the Lanaboards daddy issues in this thread. You could call it... textbook.

Not sure if it’s been said already but “to light up your nights” puts me in mind of Stevie Nicks’ duet with Don Henley “Leather & Lace”. The male voice sings “I knew with you to light my nights, somehow I’d get by.”

It could be about physical abuse that sent her to the hospital, but I interpret this song as about mental/psychological abuse that sent her to the psych ward (behind the iron gates!). I feel like most dads would step in if mom was physically attacking a child but might think it's "just" mom/daughter stuff if mom and daughter are verbally fighting, not realizing how much it hurt Lana. Or I may be projecting, ngl Anyway, this song hits hard, and I don't think there's any coming back from her estrangement with Patty after publicly reducing her to "Dad's wife".

It's an expression meaning something is so exactly as expected that it's cliche' or bog-standard-- she's saying in a slightly self-deprecating way that you could put her in the dictionary or the psych textbook under "daddy issues". I love it; it really is a clap-back to all the haters who have slammed her for calling men "daddy" in her songs (although that was ages ago-- we know she holds a grudge!).

"And always make the sheets smell like gardenias" But it does sound like our Denny's! "there's gaps to fill in, so here" "running on star drip IVs for so long" ...in the hospital, the IV (intravenous) drip she is hooked up to is full of stars (or drugs that make her see stars). "with Lithium came poetry" 'cuz I'm 99% sure she means the Nirvana song "Lithium" as well as the drug (or instead of the drug). Listening to Nirvana = she started writing poetry. "Comfortably Numb" is, of course, the Pink Floyd song. These are the songs she listened to while depressed, but they inspired her to write, is what I'm getting. She talks about listening to Nirvana in other songs too of course. At the end I hear "nothing will burn you" and then "it's you from whom I learn"

God I wish I was with my father He could see us in all our splendour ... Other men I met felt right But would smile at you and stick a knife In your back, finally I met you...

OH MY GOD. THE WAY SHE DID THAT... THE WAY WE WON... The way the entire trinity is so sad but so sexy and so LANA but also a little bit early Tori Amos (raw vocals over piano) and WHAT is that early-Nine-Inch-Nails percussion on WW and that is definitely a bit of surf-noir on Text Book. And the way her sisters come every May to paint over the banisters the man painted, 'cuz they help her get over him And all of her "text book" daddy issues ("looking for the father I wanted back") and mommy issues are just OUT THERE without apology and also how she feels/felt about being the other woman ("and then there was the issue of her; I didn't even like myself") just DAMN. "do you think if I go blonde we could get our old love back?" is the new "if I get a little prettier can I be your baby"

WHAT is this chaotic energy? Let’s just enjoy the eve of this blessed triple event! One big room and it’s full of mad bitches again (j/k I love you all but you do give me heart palpitations)

I can’t actually tell what it sounds like from that. I am so excited anyway!!!

also known as... Lanaboards I actually had a Lana dream last night: I saw her in person and asked when BB would be out. She said this April. I said, it’s already May? She just laughed.
