pretty confusing title ("dawn" implies a beginning of sorts, no? maybe Chromatica At Dusk or Chromatica: After Dark would've made more sense?) and not at all crazy about the cover but im looking forward to this!! poor A.G. Cook tho, the only time you can see his name on the back cover half of it is cut off

i cannot BELIEVE i missed the I Can Fly discourse that song is my fuckin BABY and the only thing that’s been keeping me from spontaneously shattering into a million pieces for the past three months you guys are probably right that it would’ve been stupid to have it on the new album since it’s already released and easily accessible on spotify, but there’s a tiny part of me that would’ve just loooooved to see that underrated gem get some more shine <33 also the possibility of having a live performance of that song WOW

atop every mountain there's a hurdle in the sky the way i used to cry to that song on the train to class WOW

this would be so good her voice is so pure on those tracks and the lyrics DESTROYYYY me

Okay I'm still catching up on this thread but oh my god. I didn't even consider that songs from this era could possibly wind up on this record, and There's Nothing To Be Sorry About is one of my fave fave fave Lana (or May Jailer I guess) tracks and one of my fave songs ever. I cry literally EVERY TIME. Now that I think of it, the highly personal nature of it and the stripped back sound it has would totally fit in with this era and what she seems to be going for lately, reclaiming her narrative and telling her true story - and the fact that BOZ said he wishes she put a more "iconic" unreleased on the record instead makes me think this track and other tracks from this era are a candidate for Blue Banisters, since most of the Young Like Me and arguably even Sirens tracks totally fly under the radar in this fandom, they're def not considered "iconic"!! Omgggggg and the song is about Charlie I believe, so she'd have devoted a song to - or at least mentioned - ALL the most important people in her life if she included it. I need to stop hyping myself up bc I'm probably getting delulu but I. Would Fucking. DIE. My darling TNTBSA finally getting the SHINE IT DESERVESSSSS

WHAT!!!>????!?!WESFLJ !!?!?? I come home from a day painting my new apartment to THIS???

Pawn Shop Blues would never end up on this album but the lyric and sentiment "in the name of higher consciousness I let the best man I knew go" does feel very fitting to the theme of the record!

I used to shoot up my veins in neon And shit's even brighter, you're gone vs Think I'll miss you forever Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky

fuck yessssss!!!!! i imagine it with added ~lo-fi vintage vinyl crackle~ in my fantasy

Chemtrails Over The Country Club vs Breaking Up Slowly

Bel Air vs Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Body Electric vs For K Part 2

wait.... okay so the way BOZ worded the info regarding "outtakes" being on the album, i assumed they were mostly unheard outtakes that hadn't been leaked.... but this last post made me not so sure?? now i feel like there's a higher chance there'll be 6 previously leaked songs on the record

Body Electric vs How To Disappear

*thinking about how an hour ago we were all so excited and happy to receive new info* said how the hell did we get here?

okay time for my ~fake fantasy tracklist~ contribution with all the additional information we have now - part realistic, part delusion Blue Banisters 1. Wildflower Wildfire 2. She Was Electric 3. Like My Father Said 4. Dealer 5. Unidentified Flying Bill 6. Text Book 7. You Roll Like Thunder 8. Loved You Then And Now 9. Arcadia 10. Ophelia's Orchids 11. Los Angeles Can Wait 12. Cosmic Forever 13. Stories From The Serpent Speaker 14. Yes To Heaven 15. Cherry Blossom 16. Blue Banisters Since we know there are 6 outtakes on the record I used Dealer, UFB, Thunder, LYTAN, YTH and Cherry Blossom

I had no idea our resident shitposter and class clown was so intelligent, eloquent and well-worded you truly are a legend this is EVERYTHING

The thought of a Brooklyn Baby sounding track just after Text Book and Thunder is so SEXY that's the 1-2-3 tracklist punch I would be HERE FOR

PLEASE GOD PLEASE

since BOZ said there's "a bit more" than 11 tracks, lets be generous and assume there's maybeee 13? assuming you're not someone who avoids singles/buzz tracks, we already will have heard: Thunder Cherry Blossom WFWF Blue Banisters Text Book Arcadia leaving us with over half an album that's completely fresh (assuming the "outtakes" BOZ mentioned aren't songs that have already leaked and also assuming she doesn't release another single after Arcadia) which honestly, for Lana standards, isn't too bad! I'd rather have more surprises but 7 fresh songs isn't too awful I suppose. editing just for clarity: 13 tracks is purely speculation of mine based off of what BOZ said, could be more could be less pls don't take me saying there's 13 tracks as anything other than just me speculating out loud

wait where are you guys getting the 5 outtakes info from?? i missed that

Barrie credited on a song !?!?!?!!!??!!! get @Rorman Nockwell in here NOW

Dance For Money vs Body Electric

Video Games is my fav song of all time, Bel Air is one of my fave Lana tracks, I'm a Hope Is A Dangerous Thing stan and I'm a fan of the stripped back May Jailer stuff, so it's not that I can't handle piano or stripped back production but.... idk, I feel like sometimes these slower more ballad-y tracks get lost and lose their value if they're in an album full of them. Making good music is a talent and a skill, but you know what else is a talent and a skill? Arranging and pacing an album well. I also wanna point out that although some fan faves are technically piano ballads (Old Money, Video Games, Black Beauty, etc etc) those songs usually have additional instruments (harps and strings in VG, drums in BB, etc) and strong melodies. There's a fullness to them. The apprehension regarding lots of piano on this album, for me, comes from the fear that there might not be that same fullness on these new tracks and that the album won't be paced or arranged very well and the amount of slow piano tracks could be overkill so I won't care to go back to it v much. That being said - personally I like Blue Banisters and Text Book but I absolutely ADORE WFWF, and that's because there's a strong vocal melody in the performance, those synths/organs and some cool drums in the track, as well as an overall empowering message that just ticks all the right boxes for me!!

remember when we thought Honeymoon was Lana at her most ~stripped back and slow~?? oh if the fandom could see itself now kjskdjlksdj
