Ocean Boulevard

Jesus christ Lana She's gonna start doing this regularly like the swings for Ride and Video Games isn't she? I'm so here for that, she looks phenomenal

yeah…. I just rewatched the Hope performance and it’s literally everything 

my sleep deprived addition: Neil Young’s song is essentially about musicians fearing fading away and having to fight that, and how fame can come and go so easily. It references so many artists who lived fast and died young, and burn out/fade way was quoted in Kurt’s suicide note. It’s very much a sister song to Did you know… I think it definitely corresponds with the hope ending looking like a funeral. 
https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/neil-young-song-about-johnny-rotten/ this is an article i like about it and there’s more reading you can do on the meaning. it’s not as cunt as jealous girl but understanding the message to this song is integral to her whole setlist i think. I’m too sleep deprived to really get into it but like!!! 

i agree, both lust for life and ocean blvd felt like transition records 

Btw it was so bizarre not hearing her sing video games and kind of depressing. Out of all the songs she could cut, why that one? It doesn’t make sense 

good lord this woman is unbelievably beautiful. She’s never looked better, and that’s saying a lot. I’m stunned seeing her it’s like almost painful to look at her bc she’s so beautiful. And it seems like she’s really happy. That’s so special. And that mic was ON. beautiful vocals beautiful girl fuck Camilla and fuck goddamn bartender 

Ok in get free she says “out of the black into the blue” like it’s a positive thing. Like she’s becoming happier. But during Coachella she literally goes from blue to black in outfit changes meaning a return to her darker mindset. The intro song (My My, Hey Hey-Neil Diamond) also says “out of the blue into the black” and talks about basically going hard instead of fizzling out. The hologram cage interlude talked about women being mothers or virgins and how those are the only acceptable choices in society. But then goes on to talk about sensuality and creativity and not being caged by just the two choices of virgin or mother. She’s mused a lot about motherhood especially in Ocean Blvd and I think this could all point to her giving up having kids and just focusing on her career, her art. Also the ending where she’s carried out felt like a funeral instead of the usual psych ward vibe, then she’s almost reborn into a new era that is just for her. Of course this could all just me being tired af and unhinged. 
 
Someone else that’s better an analyzing this stuff chime in! Lol

Bringing Camila has to be one of the weirdest choices ever on her career...

Camila and Lana singing I luv it?  I never saw that one coming Sometimes the songs she decides to cover  (no tea no shade, I just don’t like that song)

That song means the world to me so I'm looking forward to seeing that

I’m not sure if she’s ever not sung Video Games at a performance before.. even shows where she’s had short, 5-song setlists, she still sang it. Even when her mic was cut at Glastonbury, she still made sure to sing it with the crowd! Definitely odd, but they must’ve run out of time and couldn’t cut any of the final 4 songs (2 guests, 2 in the second outfit) in its place x

WAIT i just realized that last week she wore blue...this week she wore black...."out of the blue and into the black"

I keep having to remind myself they couldn’t do much with the hair because otherwise those gorgeous veils wouldn’t have worked and the veils are an obvious must have. 

I didn’t know Lana could really work the pole like that OKAAYYYY

man fuck lana now i have that stupid camila cabello song stuck in my head 

The vocals were definitely better this show with the microphone but I kind of loved the last week's show more because of the Billie song with Video Games and Jealous Girl intro. I think that the black outfit looked good on her (very Lasso!) but I loved the blue dresses more because they were so fairytale-y + the glamorous hair! I really loved Young & Beautiful performance from this show, it was so cute and the way how she said thank you! 🥹

the crowd was PACKED

And she didn’t even do anything from honeymoon or let the light in. 

God so much more was happening than on the weekend 1, I teared up once or twice
The Hunter S. Thompson book, the Hope dance, the spoken interlude between Hope and AW about womanhood, THE VOCALS OVERALL, the My My Hey Hey intro...
What a moment in her artistry

This really was a show for the herstory books

HELLO THIS WAS STUNNING
THE FUCKING OUTFIT OMG, ALSO THE COUNTRY THEMED OUTFIT AT THE END
She sounded good, loved her vocals and she gave us the best Candy Necklace, COCC and Hope performances so far in my opinion
The Hope outro with those spoken words and the hologram of them in the cage, the message
The first show was iconic af already but this was even better
My only complaints are the Camilla fever dream and that she skipped Video Games but couldn't skip Bartender or Arcadia like girl I was kinda pissed
 

Oof that was hard
Did You Know That There's A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd vs Grandfather Please Stand On The Shoulders Of My Father While He's Deep Sea Fishing

The summertime vocals towards the end of Doin' Time , the vocal was vocaling
Also kinda digging the Summertime Sadness intro, it's a mood

I agree with everyone that hearing Let the Light In would have been amazing,
 
BUT (there's always a but) 
 
there is something so powerful about Candy Necklace and hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have ... but I have it when performed live by a Coachella headliner ... like my goodness, it really means so much 
 
even though we could have had both
