2 years of A Star Is Born!!! 
 
This movie and soundtrack literally own my heart. I can't even imagine how many times I've cried to both, truly truly amazing bodies of work.
 
When it came out I was visiting Chicago so I couldn't see the movie but I LIVED for the soundtrack. What a time.
 
Shallow, ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY  (deserved Shallow's success), Is That Alright? , I'll Never Love Again , Before I Cry, Music to My Eyes , Diggin' My Grave, Look What I Found, Black Eyes and La Vie en Rose <3
 
Then the bops Heal Me, Why Did You Do That? and Hair Body Face. In other words - a perfect soundtrack. 

not american so i could v much get this wrong! honky tonk i believe is a style of kinda ragtime music, but its my understanding that the term has a strong association with hillbillies, and i think the term "honkytonk" might also refer to a rough bar filled with rednecks and country folk, as in "lets get down to the honkytonk tonight" or whatever. "honky" of course also means white person, but i think honky and honky tonk might have different connotations - again not 100% sure

just wanna preface this by saying: absolutely no shade towards you here, just sharing my 2 cents on this subject
 
i kinda hate the notion that kids slow artists down bc of how that almost exclusively applies to female artists; i mean, it never crossed anyone's mind that, idk, hemingway's or, like, mick jagger's careers would be slowed down due to having kids. i'm aware that that does sometimes happen when it comes to women -- some reevaluate their choices & start paying more attention to family than career, others are unable/unwilling to travel as much as before, etc. -- but i also think a big part of it is how motherhood changes our (public AND critics) perception of said women, and how themes associated with their new, more stereotypically "feminine", "softer" lives aren't deemed as interesting or worthy of being explored in art, and that really speaks to how patriarchally-driven all forms of art still are. lana has dealt with this issue all her career -- after all there's a reason why most of her fans are women and/or not straight -- but she managed to carve a niche for herself with a sort of bad/sad girl persona. a much more relevant "question for the culture" would have been why women are so limited re: what they can sing about once they reach a certain age without alienating 90% of their audience OR turning to MOR ~adult contemporary~ adèle-like music in order to keep selling. it's clear that she's struggling with something like this already (a lot of people complain that her music's too slow & contemplative now, with nearly no "bops", & even her die-hard fans complain that she doesn't pay as much attention to aesthetics/looks, don't like her more family&friends-oriented lifestyle, her move to the midwest (cop mistake notwithstanding), etc.) so it's something that must be on her mind to some extent. imo lana's "muse" has always been her personal life (both the real one & the one that goes on inside her head) and idk that she can just put it aside if she does eventually get married / have kids, so it'll be interesting to see how she'll reinvent herself then.
 
sorry for the tl;dr lol
 

Couldnt agree more. I usually find older woman more attractive precisely because of the sense of wisdom and maturity that the aging signs give them. This picture of Audrey is a perfect example of that: she absolutely slays on beauty, and wrinkles are a part of it.
I would truly love to see Lana accepting that aging is just a natural process to go through and explore the new forms of beauty it brings. The botox and surgery she keeps doing dont make her look younger, either, but the opposite.

I come from a maskless state, how 'bout you?

some clothes aren’t always “flattering” in the traditional sense but girl jeans are jeans it’s literally just a style of trouser with a fabric. she is wearing the most basic skinny jeans ever. it is literally the most universal piece of clothing i have ever seen in my life. the only thing that could make this more basic is a t shirt. everyone suits t-shirts. there’s no one on planet earth i’ve ever looked at and gone damn you really shouldn’t wear shirts. or hoodies. or socks.
 
some fashion IS universal.

no but the live audio was professionally recorded

I am a slut for Lanas folky and country sound, so I’m pumped for this. It’s kind of ironic that people don’t love her doing that sound considering it’s mainly the first genre she tapped into as an artist. 

Nikkis voice reminds me of Stevie nicks which i found SOOO BEAUTIFUL in beautiful people beautiful problems

Never let me go was country style wasnt it? I rly wnjoyed it. I think her twist on country is nice. Alot of her songs already have a country twist on them lol

reminds me so much of Scarborough Fair!
 
i actually really like this, im a fan of Lana's May Jailer work and it gives me a similar vibe mixed with the spaghetti-western-esque darkness of God Knows I Tried so its a really interesting blend, sounds like a real down-n-out kinda song that hits u right in the heart
