Well, Chuck is tagged. I don’t think even Chuckie would take such a…photo. 

Honestly, I dont give a flying fuck about that album cover, she can keep it if she wants to, in fact, screw the 1:1 ratio, she can keep that 3:4 as OFFICAL ARTWORK even on all the streaming platforms, it's so random, it's unconventional, it's nonconform, it's weird, it's ugly, it's irritating,  it's pissing people off, it's PISSING YOU OFF, it's picsart, it's self-made homemade pop star lizzy grant trailer park, it's the question, it's the answer and it's the fuck you for the culture...
it's...
LANA FUCKING DEL REY.

'the right person will stay' and she is releasing on the 5th anniversary of QFTC..
 
what is she is talking about the fans that stayed and didnt do performative cancellation after that whole thing 
 
in this essay i will..
 

she knows these covers get viral on the internet guys, she and her team are not dumb… it’s all about the marketing 

girl I hope not I need another off the radar album like bb... all the locals have been showing themselves too much this year

i knew something was going on between her and nikki lane

i'm surprisingly very neutral about this if it flops it flops and if it bops it bops like not even the thought of a hideous artwork stresses me out anymore i'm here for the ride 

On Thursday she’s stuffing the flash drive with the mp3 in an uncooked grocery store turkey and it’s up to us to find it

the way that i see Lana not understanding that it was for the tour announcement and thinking it was for the album announcement, posting about it without label approval LMAO

she couldn't bother getting neil krug out to the hot ass swamp she purchased a picsart pro subscription and called it a day... oh it's bad for us... she's probably gonna get one of the alligators to shoot the homemade henry video... 

I fear this album will be heartbreaking. I am so here for a whole album of Henry Come Ons tbh. Songs to cry by the fire to (in summer lol) 
 
Fascinated by where her head is at because obviously she just got married and seems really happy about it, but the title combined with the picture and the sound of Henry do not scream true love but consistent disappointment. I'm guessing we'll go on a journey of various heartbreaks and then by the end of the album she gets her happy ending. Maybe the title track is the closing track for once.

her covers lore is unmatched

Isn’t he six feet under

my mom thought there was an intruder

i kinda also wanted to say, for what the rest of the world sorta worships of the male ego/ destruction and dominating ie negative parts of divine masc. lana's a kind of solace and haven for things that people might not wanna talk about. unpop opinion and maybe possible *trigger warning* but there are difficult conversations that need and should be had about mental health, and this track's in a way, a kind of breath of fresh air of singing something similar/ around that. 

normally, it's kinda too quick to be talking about that, but sim to BTD's counter approach to songwriting from empowering pop, she makes being vulnerable be ok. there's a poetry in how some of her songs can sound melancholy, but in a way, it can also be liberating and consoling from a relative pov. 

this song's magic, and it's making me fall in love with her as an artist all over again. 

It’s also the fact that like… even with her not caring about streams people are still tuning in by the millions every day and listening to her art. She has no need to appease streaming/TikTok algorithms at this point in her career. 50 million people may not be listening to the same song but 10 million are listening to different pieces of her discography because it’s quality, it’s timeless and it speaks to people’s souls….

I remember when the tracklist we announced, people were concerned about Heroin saying she needs to deliver a good song for such a title, hoping that it will not be cringy, comparing it to already existing songs with that title and claiming that it is a bold move to have a title like that and be able to fulfill the expectations. And in the end, Heroin fucking slayed the existence of every living person.

THE MODERN MANIFESTO OF LUST FOR LIFE - EXPLAINED!
 
One of the things I figured about Lust For Life was that you can split the album's songs into 4 "EPs" (since the album has 16 tracks). First 2 EPs are combination of her older sound and aesthetics, describing the world inside Lana. Last 2 EPs are combination of her newer sound and aesthetics, describing the world outside Lana. Also I noticed that in the end of Lust For Life trailer, she said in the monologue: "Because you, and the music, and this place, are my LOVE, my LIGHT, my LUST for LIFE."
 
So, I split the songs into 4 "EPs" and named each "EP" after those keywords based on the themes.

EP LOVE
1. Love
2. Lust For Life
3. 13 Beaches
4. Cherry
 
EP LUST
1. White Mustang
2. Summer Bummer
3. Groupie Love
4. In My Feelings

EP LIGHT
1. Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind
2. God Bless America - And All The Beautiful Women In It
3. When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing
4. Beautiful People Beautiful Problems

EP LIFE
1. Tomorrow Never Came
2. Heroin
3. Change
4. Get Free

I totally agree, however, if you read any social media when she was announced for Glastonbury.. she was getting so much hate.. and then when she was rumoured for BST, a lot of posts were stating she’s a bad choice as she’d never sell out
 
if she does read the comments online, then I can get why she’d feel nervous to put herself out there for shows, people are just so mean about her for some reason, she seems to be one of the most polarising artists I’ve known!
