    "You ungrateful little fuckers deserve nothing." Sure she wanted to say this when LFL leaked but stood only with the "you little fuckers" tweet lol

    We can hope and pray for the better but deep inside our hearts we all know that the album is gonna be piano-driven and have closer to spoken word poetry aesthetic and HIADT sound

    It’s true that with her, we never know. I never expected a song like Heroin on LFL, which was supposed to be a « happy record ».

    Summary: Ben admits her typewritten rant was bad, she admits she's a pain in the arse, and at the end of the day, the relationship works because they let her get away with all her nonsense. 
     
    Nothing new to see here.

    Well I want COCC to feel beachy like filly and venice. But I want her to go into a bit of a pop sound after this album. Doin' time and fiily are my absolute jams cause they're so easy to listen to. I'm not saying they're the best, but they're something I can dance to or something that would bring my mood up. She doesn't have to do an album with this sound but I'd love a few singles or an EP. Please let her work with Andrew Watt again.

    Lol Twitter going at it again, publishing fake news about LDR, saying she is scrapping the album because the tracklist leaked and that she is upset over the backlash received with her recent Insta pictures. People are so gullible.

    I don't think she would give us an album full of songs like Hope. I love Hope, it works very well as a closer imo, but an entire album like it would be underwhelming. I trust her on this front.

    Lately? It's been that way since the UV era with very few bursts of visual excellence, like the Love music video

    I would love for her to work with Emile again and create an album that could be a mature version of BTD, with songs that sounds like Wait For Life, Starry Eyed, etc.

    My first post although I have been a Lana fan since 2011. First I want to say, the fake lyrics this era are really good! Especially the lyrics of Hidden in the Hills, it really sounds like Lana's words but without being a parody of Lana-isms. It kind of has me hoping the lyrics aren't fake because there is something sinister about those lyrics and I would really love an album with a bite to it.
     
    Anyway, I have been thinking about the title "Chemtrails Over the Country Club", and I thought I would share some interpretations and connotations that might reveal something about the sound or themes of the album. Maybe some of these are a stretch but here goes.
     
    Flight is a symbol of freedom, and we know that Lana was previously taking pilot lessons. In the opening verse of "Hope...", Lana sings about disliking the social pressures of being expected to behave in a certain upper class and feminine way. A country club is an embodiment of that culture that makes her feel suffocated, and she looks up in the sky to see chemtrails and wishes that she could fly away. Lana also just went through a breakup, metaphorically taking flight and leaving her relationship behind. Thematically this album will deal with concepts of freedom and liberation. For Lana, freedom may be closely related to romance. Lana suggests in many songs that she struggles with finding personal fulfillment or contentment when she is not in love. To be single is to be free, but in Lana's case, to be in love is also a form of freedom from her own void. I am expecting an album that at times conveys deep infatuation (al Love Song, Video Games), and also deep introspection as Lana discusses what "freedom" means to her at this stage of her life (ala Change, Hope is a Dangerous Thing).
      The name also seems satirical. It seems to mock social elites, people who are affluent enough to belong to a country club, and ignorant and paranoid enough to believe in chemtrails or other government conspiracy theories. We know that Lana has become progressively more political, and hates president Trump and his voters. This album title to me suggests that she may be trying to get inside the heads of these types of people. There is a sense of anxiety in the title, as if the subjects of Lana's satire feel that their white country club suburbia is being invaded by outsiders and threatened by a changing world and culture. This same type of discomfort with a rapidly changing world can be felt on The Greatest. Lana may be expanding on that theme by exploring the phyche of people who are mentally still living in 1950's suburbia but physically living in a world of social media and fear mongering politicians and government conspiracies, etc.
      Even if the above point is a misinterpretation, the word "country club" is strongly associated with the upper class. Lana's early music was fixated on the lifestyles and culture of the upper class. Satirically or not, she idolized the rich. Lana's relationship with money has changed a lot and like the more she gets the less she cares about it. I don't believe that this album will have the same perspective on the 1% as BTD or pre-BTD songs, but it is basically guaranteed that Lana will put the spotlight on them one more time on this album.
      Finally the word "chem" can be a slang term for drugs, specifically methamphetamines, which Lana has sung about in the past and even has a song titled after. The image of a pristine blue sky polluted by chemtrails reminds me of the way that Lana suggests that her body has been polluted when she sings "drugs are in my veins, I'm running out of time". Flight can also be an allusion to being high, like when Lana sings "I'm flying to the moon again, dreaming about Heroine". Also, one symptom of methamphetamine use is extreme paranoia and belief in Government conspiracy theories, such as believing in chemtrails. I am expecting this album to deal with drug use, either explicitly or implicitly, and have an overall more trippy sound than any of her past albums.
      I am expecting an album of strong juxtapositions. The production will be a tug-of-war between lush-beauty (the country club) and harsh psychedelia (the chemtrails). There will be gorgeous piano ballads, there will be psychadelic songs like Venice Bitch and West Coast or maybe a more electronic psychedelia like Heroine, and perhaps there will even be orchestral string arrangements that recall BTD.  The album will be extremely passionate and sensual, but there will be an underlying current of anxiety throughout the entire album that reflects both Lana's personal anxieties, and also larger social anxieties about class, race, coronavirus, president Trump, etc. In the same way that FIILY takes an abrupt turn, Chemtrails will be full of twists and turns lyrically and sonically. One second Lana is in love, the next she is contemplating death. One second Lana is enjoying being in the country club, the next she is staring at the chemtrails.  Let me know if you agree or disagree with any of this, or if I am just putting way too much thought into this.
