Also Candy Necklace, Paris Texas and Fishtail are  perfect nighttime drive songs

i am now a firm 'your first listen is so important' truther because this was the first lana record i went to somewhere for my first listen and i listened to it cover to cover by the beach and it still evokes those memories 
 
this album is still so fresh to me it’s crazy. like i just listened to it cover to cover again and it’s so fcking gorgeous 

Sweet was the first non-single that I got obsessed with. I just could not believe the beauty, and how a lot of people just didn't see it. It's an amazing and as you said important love song.

I suspect in no particular order:
 
Take me Home, Country Roads
Unchained Melody
Stand By Your Man
Henry, Come On
The Prettiest Girl in Country Music
The Right Person Will Stay
Video Games
Ride
Hey Blue Baby (maybe)
I Must be Stupid for Being so Happy (maybe)
Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Chemtrails over the Country Club
+ a couple random guests and songs

It can be  worse, something like...
 
"Bartender" (Country Version) and Breaking Up Slowly (Countrier Version)

doubt, Lana has had a habit of announcing projects that either never manifest or are extremely delayed since 2012
she doesnt think before she announces things, leaving Ben/Interscope to call her up and telling her a release is not possible with the timeline she has in mind OR
she has some broad ideas and thinks shell get the whole project done by the deadline required to release it on date X, and fails to meet it cause things happen
 
Blue Banisters e.g. was definitely an example of the first reason
Lasso/TRPWS is an example of reason 2

If we lived in the right universe that would be the case

only pathological liar Lana could announce an album for a random Wednesday in May and get 339+ pages dedicated to the one post. 
 
I’ve always felt like this was a June or July album but maybe it’ll be an August or September album 

I followed them
and found you there
in your garden
hands
lifted up to god
honey
dripping from your thighs
you are who the morning gets up for
and you are
what makes the sun so tired
it has to lie down for the night
 
 

What about the potential resentment some Stagecoach attendees may have that Lana is headlining Stagecoach in the first place--especially with no additional TRPWS news or a single by April 25th? Or even with a single? Because as we know, Lana's singles usually have limited appeal and reach outside of Spotify and the Lanasphere. 
 
If I were a tried-and-true Country music fan, I'd probably be rolling my eyes that Lana Del Rey is headlining such a venue and asking 'WTF? Let her headline Coachella.' 
 
It's in situations like this that people may accuse her of 'jumping on the bandwagon' or 'doing the trendy thing.'
 
Releasing Lasso about the time of her Waffle House waitressing gig would have been perfect. That was the perfect set up for her to headline Stagecoach.

I remember you giving tarot card readings about Lasso and when it would come out  I would eat ts up

remember when we thought we would have an album by September 2024 

Now where the FUCK did the spoken word bridge go???? 

Yeah, I agree with you, it shouldn't matter. I grew up on classic country. As a teenager and young adult I veered as far away as I could to get away from country. Grunge, Industrial, became a raver in my 20s, then segued into DnB, Jungle, Jazz, Hip-Hop and Trip-Hop. Now as a middle-aged adult artists like Orville Peck and Charlie Crockett have reignited a fondness for old-style country music that I grew up on. I'm excited to hear Lana's take on country. I actually feel like her storytelling and singing style will fit the genre really well. Obviously, none of us know what is going on in Lana's life nowadays or what she's thinking regarding the release of TRPWS, and we know she loves to change her mind during pre-release cycles. I'm just throwing ideas against the wall in an attempt to understand why she's been so silent since announcing that two singles were on their way and TRPWS is releasing in May.

In Lana's defense, she was correct about the music industry going country. Bey dropped Cowboy Carter, Posty dropped F-1 Trillion, Calvin Harris is releasing a country album (where he's the vocalist, first single dropped today) and Chappell just released 'The Giver', her foray into country (though this may end up being just a single country-esque track and not a full album of country songs). There are other artist flipping country, but they are not as surprising such as Gwenny Gwen Gwen and Elle King. Shit, even Ringo Starr released a country album in January of this year (though, I don't consider him to be that relevant anymore.)

At this point, Lana is not ahead of the curve, as much as she is following the industry. I wonder if this shift in the music industry has made her hesitant to release a country album now. I mean, she was well aware of it when she made her comment during her acceptance speech. Maybe it's a combination of a huge change in her life (getting married) and the industry becoming oversaturated with country music nowadays.

Her silence speaks volumes though.... 'crickets'

Remember when we thought we would get Henry not long after Tough?
