  1. I hope that I come back one day To tell you that I really changed vs You're scared to win, scared to lose, I hear the war was over if you really choose
  2. i think i actually disagree this video makes me genuinely grateful we never got the cherry mv, pretty when you cry mv, etc.
  3. i didn't even finish watching it utterly boring i wouldn't mind the minimalist aspect so much, but we've had this footage foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr. makes it v v dull and boring to watch, even for non-stans who may have already seen the MAC and VB videos. the wasted potential.... i can't.

  11. ahhh i assumed lana was subheadlining!! given the other artists playing that night, i reckon lana will draw a pretty decent crowd. it'll be interesting to see how sunday's crowd will be split tho - quite a diverse line up that day, with two veryyyy different artists headlining to choose between

  14. yknow somethin, i've never properly read her poetry! i've seen a couple though and although i can't fully recall them, i do remember quite liking them. love that kurt cobain clip!! and ironically enough, do kind of agree with what he's saying. i think there are songs where blunt and not overly-thought-out lyricism works well. i'll use nirvana as an example; the song 'sliver' is one of my all time fave songs, and lyrically it really speaks to me despite just being a simple and obvious tale about being a kid throwing a little bit of a tantrum because they're being dropped off at their grandparents' house and they're away from home. it's simple, it's blunt, it's honest and it works. if it was fancy and thought out, it wouldn't be the same. i feel that way about a lot of nirvana's music. it taps into a strange little place in my brain that just makes me feel really human and vulnerable. i think a lot of that is down to the simplistic and raw nature of the music back to lana - there are plenty of her songs that shine with (and possibly because of) really simple and straightforward lyrics. video games is one of them! others like old money, oh say can you see, and cruel world do too. now that i think of it, it's an interesting idea to debate internally - the difference between lazy lyrics vs straightforward lyrics that may or may not work

  17. i don't know why but i just find it soooooooo like... almost cringe?? i think it reminds me of when a new girl group comes out and their label tries REALLY hard to make them the NEXT BIG THING (but they always flop) and they always have at least one of these '50s/'60s inspired doo-wop tracks and they're always super corny and predictable and bleh. or like when female pop vocalists go thru a "vintage phase" (no shade to Xtina cause Candyman is a banger). maybe it just feels a little toooo much like playing dress up to me. that being said, i quite like LFL, definitely like Get Free and even like HTD despite its obvious flaws. but i feel like i've had my fill of that from lana now. but then maybe, as you said, if she went all-out with it, it could actually really work... something as intricate, groovy and perfectly produced as You Keep Me Hangin' On would be great, but if it's only some half-assed bells and a doo-wop beat with predictable backing vocals she can keep it edit: i think that's my problem... how predictable these tracks tend to be, from anyone!
  18. my worst nightmare is lana going back to a doo-wop Lust For Life/Get Free/How To Disappear sound for this album, and i like all those songs lmao idk why i just feel like that sound is almost always cheesy and although i love those tracks i'd dread an entire album of it
