not to be overly TMI but im currently ovulating so whenever i see a photo of baby i wanna cry, suffice to say that pic of baby phoenix literally has me in tears pls god make these maternal urges stop

nouw its chrew!!

honestly i feel like this is such an unpopular opinion but i really dont want the album to leak, we're SO close, wouldn't it be better just to hear it in 9 days as the artist intended? sure if we were months away then by all means leak that shit but we're literally in single digits now just over a week! and honestly i feel like it'd be such a special experience for us all to be able to enjoy it on release day together, whether on streaming services or on vinyl, cd, cassette, however we wanna listen to it in fullllll beautiful quality, not using some site like [redacted] or having to download any shady files or whatever! and everyone can do their little release day rituals too! it'd just be so much better. im manifesting a smooth rollout personally, sorry edit: leak Crazy For You tho

Freak Like Me (Demo 1) vs Smarty

Heroin vs Blue Banisters

when i tell you i fucking SCREAMED

oop-

sounds beautiful not the snippet cutting off right when lana starts to sing tho

maybe i'd get less stressed if i was tested less like all of these debutantes smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts vs i need you like a baby when i hold you like a druggy like i told you

Shades of Cool vs Trash Magic

I need to smoke a blunt w Bill so bad

for me, melancholy is separated from sadness by a kind of... wistfulness? a sort of weird sad magic feeling. lana has many straight up depressing songs - Is This Happiness, Hope, Beautiful People demo, etc - but she is an absolute master when it comes to melancholy! to me her most melancholic songs are: Oh Say Can You See, Yayo (both AKA and Paradise versions!), Pawn Shop Blues, Bel Air (!!!), and probably a few others i can't think of rn!! controversial opinion: i actually think Tulsa Jesus Freak is super melancholic

one of my fav songs ever, Secret Door by Arctic Monkeys, has a *little bit* of a West Coast vibe bc of the tempo switch, but its more of a cute / romantic vibe than a cool and sexy vibe like WC has! from the same album is Dance Little Liar, not quite the same as its mostly downtempo / doesn't have the cool beat switch up, but this song always reminded me of West Coast a bit!

Cherry vs Summer Bummer

Cherry vs Is It Wrong

Art Deco vs Hey You

im not usually much of a ~synesthesia~ type gal but with Thunder i get such intense pale yellow vibes?? kinda like this. and Living Legend, what i remember of it, is suuuuuper deep blue like this. not that anyone asked but what kind of colours do you guys get from the songs we've already heard??

White Dress vs On Our Way

RIGHT BOO i love her but its pretty obvious that she absolutely gives a fuck! and that's okay - i would be FUCKED UP if i was in her shoes my unpopular opinion, on a connected note: sometimes my problem with lana is that she seems unable to distinguish valid criticism from unnecessary hate. sometimes she receives really warranted backlash or criticism for stuff, but because she had so much cruelty and hate throughout the first few years of her career i think she can't tell the difference and she just lumps it all in together. i wish she'd see the nuance in things a little more

most excited to hear Dealer, Arcadia and honestly Living Legend bc I haven't listened to it since the day it leaked so I dont remember it at all! its basically brand new to me!

I like being ugly. It's fun.

When Lana Del Rey opened her smash hit song Born To Die with the lyrics "Feet don't fail me now" it was actually a display of solidarity with the fibromyalgia community, in this essay I will-
