anywho i just wish i had a friend like him someone to give me fire

she put crack in this single cos wtf it is literally always in my head march 10th cant come quick enough, im ready for more luscious strings, gawj harmonies and heartbreaking lyrics

Born To Die vs White Dress

i feel like Wild At Heart should've been the second single from COCC tbh (the title track should've been the first, LMLYLAW had no place being a single as cute as it is lol) it's so anthemic and such a statement of intent for Lana's career atm like.... "if they love me they'll love me cause im wild at heart" is so true to who she is rn, she's so free and just loves doing her own thing and doesn't care about anything else. it's not my absolute fave lana song or anything, but i do think it's underrated and definitely underutilised - if it had a big Ride-esque music video i could've seen it becoming a Lana classic tbh

Born To Die vs Cinnamon Girl

its amazing seeing the buzz around this single, i've been seeing so many people reference it and talk about it on social media and they're not even lana stans like us, her power

i posted a few possibilities in the lyric thread in regards to this debate !

last night i had a dream that barack and michelle obama decided to open up their marriage and see other people and i started dating barack and he was really cool and i was really surprised to find out that he liked to vape and THEN later in the dream lana revealed the tracklist and one of the songs on it was titled "Barack Obama Left His Juul In The Hotel" wtf

Ocean Blvd vs Born To Die

we love you @Elle <3

miles kane is somewhere sobbing into his bowl of cocaine rn

Noir (Reloaded: The Re-Up) we won

i’m so intrigued by “Sweet”, i feel like it’s gonna be folky for some reason

now hold on you might be right

jimmy baby i missed you

@DragonWhore do you have a personal fave track? if so could you tell us it’s acronym and/or it’s placement?

hahaha difficult choice Terrence Loves You vs Heroin

tbh the main reason i thought it was “lennon” (although to me it sounds more like “linen”) is cause john lennon produced the song don’t forget me!

i actually really love Beautiful i also feel like if she had changed the lyric everyone despised to “what if someone had asked Pablo not to be sad?”, it wouldn’t take long for people to suss out she was talking about Pablo Picasso and not only would it flow better but i think everyone would be like “omg her mind” hahah

I just wish I had a friend like himmmmm

im still a little confused by the whole "leaning on my back" line so I have some theories is she saying "Lennon in the back, whispering in my ear, saying 'Come on baby, you can drive' but I can't" ? as in John Lennon and a reference to the Beatles song (the chorus is "baby you can drive my car") and she's saying that ironically even tho she's listening to that song she doesn't acc have the strength to drive?? orrrr is she saying "Lennon on my back, whispering in my ear, saying 'Come on baby, you can drive' but I can't"? as in she has this imaginary friendship with Harry Nilsson and John Lennon (who worked together) and while Harry is giving her fire (or five or whatever the lyric says) Lennon is there encouraging her holding her shoulders or hugging her back or something singing "baby you can drive my car" or just telling her she can drive?? OR is she saying "linen on my bed/linen on my back, whispering in my ear, saying 'Come on baby, you can drive but I cant", implying that she's laid on linen sheets and her lover is telling her that she can drive somewhere if she wants to but he can't? ORRRR is it "linen on my bed/linen on my back, whispering in my ear, saying 'Come on baby, you can drive' but I can't", suggesting her lover is telling her/encouraging that she can drive but she retorts that she can't? OR is it indeed "leaning on my back, whispering in my ear saying 'Come on baby, you can drive' but I can't"? much to think about ETA: and of course the possibility that its actually "thrive" and not "drive" lol

me at the drive thru even though this is a wendy’s because i’m excited about lana’s new music

i am really, really, really enamoured with the title track and my god i’m relieved to be saying that. honestly no shade to the last two eras at all (well maybe some slight shade to COCC since that’s my least fav album lol) because i really really liked blue banisters but i did have this secret worry that i was gonna listen to the title track, like it just fine enough but then never really have a desire to go back to it because it just blended into all the lana music that came out in the past 2ish years and it just didn’t hit the spot but that’s not the case, there is some real undeniable magic to the track and i find myself thinking about it a lot although it’s in the same vein as something from BB, it’s such a well crafted song that it doesn’t feel homogenised or samey to me. the instrumentation, the INCREDIBLE back up singers (i wish i could personally write to each one of those ladies and thank them for the way they absolutely elevated this track, because WOW, wow wow wow, wowowowow, WOW), the lyrics that seem to reveal more and more of their meaning with each listen, the ups and downs in lana’s voice, the addictive catchiness of “when’s it gonna be my turn? don’t forget me!”, how it starts off with a relaxed exhale but ends up as this gorgeous singalong…. i really love it, it sparks something inside me similar to what The Greatest does. i have such high hopes for this record now, i really really do

i actually think the title track is ridiculously catchy and i constantly find myself singing the pre-chorus and chorus, so i hope the other tracks of the record follow this route of combining wordy and poetic lyricism with genuinely catchy melodies as opposed to just one or the other!

I wonder if its similar to the playboi carti "feature" on LFL
