Tropico Angel

...My point was in response to whoever saying that she has never really used metaphors, etc... I never said that they were good or bad. Just gave examples of some that she's used off the top of my head

??? The family jewels era says hello?? One track mind like a goldfish stuck inside my petri dish I let go of my glass balloon Elderly stars slide down the morning sky, slipping away to find a place to die We scooped our way into your dreams to knock the knives out bloody cold I lost my spine inside the centre of a star It seems so sinful living like a porcupine The list goes on and on. She used to be VERY metaphorical. Her weird way of telling her stories is what I loved most about her song writing

You don’t want to open up that can of worms, girlie. We’ve already got one fight going on but I think the fact that you wrote it’s not that bad says it all

It wouldn’t be the Lanaboards if someone wasn’t attacked for expressing their opinion because clearly only one opinion can be right. It’s not like it’s subjective or anything ?

Lana has been really losing me as a fan since NFR. I only like 3 songs off of that record and even then I skip to the bridges. I only like 1 song from COCC and I dislike all of the new singles. In my personal opinion, idk how anyone can defend her lyrics NFR-BB. They’re astoundingly poor. Sure she does have a few gems but as whole?? Her melodies are much poorer now too. What happened to the structured, well thought out, beautiful melodies of songs like Carmen, Is This Happiness, Dark Paradise, The Blackest Day, Sad Girl, etc...? Even her unreleased songs have better melodies I’m not even going to touch the production because most of us agree it’s lacking in a lot of ways and that is equally her fault as it is the producers. Visually... there’s no effort. Pure laziness and that’s disappointing. Ultimately the visuals are part of her job too and she clearly doesn’t give af anymore. It’s not cute. Critics and lay people don’t really give that much of a fuck about her visuals, it’s the fans that care the most so the fact that she’s not putting any effort in is telling. Her shows now? I wouldn’t pay to see them anymore. Unnecessary dancers, backing vocals that are too loud, not singing at random times, etc... Before it was her showcasing her amazing talent. A lot of the time now, it’s just singing quietly behind her backing vocals doing a pathetic ‘dance’. The Lolita slut drop was iconic but the other little dances are just not it. She does have some amazing moments still but not enough for me to buy a ticket Again, I’m not going to touch on her controversial statements, lying to fans, disregarding fans, completely unprofessional behaviour, tone-deaf comments, those videos of her driving recklessly, etc... She and her music have changed and I don’t like it. Obviously artists change over time and that’s fine but it’s just sad that I’m not vibing with this change like other fans are. I loved her so much for so many years and it’s just depressing that I’m not liking who she is now. I suppose I’ll always have BTD-L4L Since some of u crazy Lana stans can’t read, I’m gonna say again that this is just my opinion, NOT FACT

Those idiots bringing up Lana constantly. It's Marina's live on Marina's day. Stfu about Lana for a single second ?

Like it or not, people’s rights are politics. It’s not moral or fair but that’s the world we live in. Sorry that u don’t like that but that’s reality This is why we need Marina-dildo content. This shit is just boring

She needs to go back to singing about dildos, porn and wanting to kill urself because I can’t handle these politically charged discussions anymore

I’m pretty sure a fan commented something similar to this under one of her posts and she said she wasn’t quitting or anything so no need to worry

We're all just feisty and over emotional because we're morning the loss of Happy Loner and Pink Convertible

I gave those specific examples for aged poorly because I grew up with those songs so they were the first ones to come to mind. If I was born in the 50s then I'd probably be able to give you a list of songs with live instruments that have aged poorly off the top of my head but I wasnt born then so I can't. The songs that have aged well do include a lot of songs using live instruments but not all of them. Toxic for example (tho it does use strings i guess). Classic pop songs that always blow up again every couple of years fall into that category too. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Britney, etc... A lot of electronic music doesn't age well in the long run because music trends come and go. That’s why music keeps evolving and we aren't all still listening to 2010s style music (although I wish we were). I've stated MANY times that just because a song hasn't aged well doesn't mean it's become bad. Idk why u keep pushing that point when I never brought it up to begin with. I'm not going to continue a conversation with you if you're so closed off and stuck in your own opinion that you can't even read my points correctly

I said SOME of the black eyed peas hits. I meant some songs from their 2010s albums like i gotta feeling and the time (dirty bit). I’ll still jam to them if they come on but they do sound VERY 2010 and only 2010. I do agree that Boom Boom Pow and Meet Me Halfway still slap but I wouldn’t say they are timeless. Again, that doesn’t mean they aren’t good. They’re definitely bops and staples of the 2010s

Did you not read what I said? I didn’t say that I dislike Radioactive. I just said it has aged poorly. Just because you can’t comprehend that music ages doesn’t mean that people lack critical thinking skills ? Aged poorly = songs that don’t sound fresh and current anymore. They sound dated. The exact opposite of timeless songs Songs that have aged poorly: Tik Tok, California Girls, Party Rock Anthem, I Gotta Feeling Songs that have aged exceptionally well: Bohemian Rhapsody, Toxic, Wonderwall, Hallelujah

I hate to say it but some of u are acting like total assholes. I personally agree that Radioactive has aged poorly. Lots of music from that time has aged poorly - especially from that genre. I mean, look at some of the 2010s black eyed peas hits or party rock anthem, etc... They aren’t exactly timeless hits. Just because it hasn’t aged for u, doesn’t mean that it hasn’t aged for others so idk why some of you can’t accept that?? Of course that’s a valid comment so I don’t understand why some of you are getting ur panties in a twist over an opinion Ageing poorly doesn’t necessarily make a song shit or unlistenable for me. It just makes it not as good as it used to be and that’s fine. That happens. If it makes it unlistenable for others then I can understand that 100%. If you don’t agree then good for u but stop riding each other’s dicks over it. If you want to have a bitch fest, at least pick an absolutely earth shattering song to fight over and no I didn’t quote everyone this is about because I’m too lazy to go do that

Not to be deluded but we might have a chance of getting a studio version. She was singing for free live before COCC so maybeee she’ll follow the pattern and add this song??

That’d be a dream. I’d want her to collab with him tho because his voice is SEX

I actually hadn’t even thought about that. I don’t mind pics with her friends as long as she is the focal point and its professionally shot by someone who hasn’t been in Patty’s vaginal canal. That’s all I ask

Well I mean she wasn’t forced to get on a boat. She could’ve pitched another idea if she thought that story had ended but I get your point. Anyways, Lana is fickle and unpredictable so who knows. If this theme isn’t continued then I hope she makes a new one

The lyrics are in the description of her YT video. I don’t suggest u bother reading them tho

She was on a boat in NFR and we have that pic of her with the horse for COCC. I’m still holding out hope for this theme. There’s only so many iPhone pics she can take @Clampigirl I was wondering where u were. Happy to see that ur back on the clock, restoring balance to this gay mess

If we just ignore the sound for a sec and focus on the lyrics, can I just say wtf?? This girl’s lyrics don’t sit right with me. They’re pretty lazy imo and don’t match Marina’s. Marina’s out here going “Earth is like a white rose, quiet cloud of petals cold” and she’s going “cum on your face like pow pow, you know your place like wow wow”. I don’t mind lyrics like that but they just don’t match at all. At least try a bit harder with your rhyming

Girlie, you can’t say something like that and not expect a reaction. My reply was nowhere near an attack on your person or anything so maybe take it down a notch in the first paragraph. @HEARTCORE summed up my thoughts so idk what else to say except don’t buy into conspiracy theories and stream What U See (Is What U Get) ❤️

What is it with Marina and collabing with artists that I can just barely understand? I have to focus every single brain cell I have to try and decipher the lyrics

That Billy B mention tho ??? I wish I was following him to see his response

I've been having a hard time connecting to the melodies of 99% of the songs from NFR and COCC. I don't know how to explain it but I feel like most melodies post L4L have been a bit of a drag. Before they were so well constructed, pleasing and memorable but now they're kinda dull imo. They were freestyles and it shows. Don't get me wrong, some of her melodies post L4L are really good but they're few and far between imo. For example, the melodies of yosemite vs carmen. Carmen is really well constructed melodically but yosemite is a bit lacklustre. You can tell that yosemite was improvised or had less thought put into it then Carmen's melody
