fucking hell this is boring

?

I'm waiting for QFTC pt.2 
 
I still watch her QFTC video while In My Feelings, plays in the background. 

You'd be surprised

It's nbd though, she's done this before. Before NFR she went missing for a month or so at one point, iirc
If she doesn't feel like saying stuff for whatever reason, then that's cool. We know we're (eventually) getting more music, so

I just want to say
 
while I took a break from LB to focus more on school stuff and panicking 4 times in a week, Blue Banisters really helped me to calm down. It was like the only thing that made my anxiety, well, not exactly go away, but get less overwhelming. I had it on repeat on low volume for so long since it’s release. I didn’t find Wildflower or text book to be as soothing, so I haven’t played them too much since the release but! I’m ready to stream them a lot now! They’re really so beautiful, and I love the lyrics.

she got shit for the coverart without speaking a word U think bitches woulda been cool knowing the song was called text book of all things

So I just remembered that Lana often makes literature references in her music, and then I came across a book called this:

Which is a lyric in Yosemite: "I remember watching, How Green Was My Valley" It was also made into a film in the 1940's (which is what Lana is referring to).
Also I'm not sure if this was mentioned in the COCC thread already. I haven't checked it since the album got released so forgive me for looking like a thief of thoughts 
 
So now I wonder if Lana will use any literature references for BB. In my opinion, I think a reference to Flowers in the Attic would be perfect considering Lana is opening up about the relationship between her and her mother more, and in the novel and movie, the mother betrays her children and the children are abused by their grandmother. It gives a harrowing glimpse into the family dynamic where the women in that family are the toxic ones - a view which is rare. It's just the case of knowing if Lana is aware of this book (most likely), so it would be interesting. 
 
Any other literature references you think would go well on BB?

As I'm sure others here have, I have used art as a form of personal catharsis to move past trauma sometimes. When I have made art for that reason I have never wanted to talk about it afterwards (or even look at it, sometimes) because the process is a way of releasing those feelings and moving on. Obviously everyone is different, but these songs are deeply personal and maybe she feels this way, too. I mean, what is she supposed to say? "My mum abused me, it was really shit because my dad never stuck up for me and I ended up in the hospital and on lithium"? "My relationships keep failing because I'm a writer and it fucking sucks"? "I'd rather forget S**n L****n exists"?
I think everyone should calm down because I doubt she's going to ghost us forever just because Ben or someone advised her to. It's in her nature to be a bit of a shitposter and once a shitposter, always a shitposter

But that‘s ok cause,
Now when Lana stays quiet,
All my sisters log in to LB
to be delulu
My delulu gays
 
@Diamantes WILD is spamming gifs all day
@Terrence Loves Me is being tasteless again
@synecdoche2 is spilling facts@Lustformoney is on her way
And now my LB is delulu
Ah-ah
 
Lana releases, Lana goes
Interactions she skips, God knows
Lana releases, Lana goes
During the album rollout she sleeps, heaven knows
 
All my sisters log in to LB
to be delulu, delulu
 

And now my blue banisters are
green & grey

here's the deal  here's the deal 

all three songs are great and so was most of COCC idc idc idc let Lana be crazy she's never gonna be sane

Nah, it's not about laziness. She literally posted and then thought twice about it and hid the post. She just doesn't want to hear anyone's bullshit on a post about the songs when she said what she said. The songs talk about why she has the fragility she has and why she feels certain ways and what she's doing to fix her issues she has but people won't see it that way. She just doesn't want to hear it. It's that simple. If she's lazy, why would she make the post but then hide it???? you realize, this is the same woman who would get sickly anxious before shows sometimes.... make it make sense
 

Said he'd come back every May
Just to help me if I'd paint
My banisters blue
Blue banisters, ooooh
 

Feeling this more and more. I don’t know why she feels pressured to give us release dates that aren’t even accurate. Just don’t give any release dates! Keep being silent!! I prefer silence to dates that never come. Surprise releases are fun though; it’s the false hope that gets me.

yuh got a thundabird ma daddy had one too lets re write histry i''ll do this dance w youuuh 

@ItsaWhale89 mentioned the NFR livestream she did and I watched it and I have THOUGHTS. So I’m spilling them here 
(I took notes and I’m just copying and pasting them and a little edit)
———————————————-
The background vocals in the chorus 
Redeeming her high notes

Jack “do you remember how the song (NFR) started? The old version :)”
Lana: “Mm. No.”
Jack “you don’t? :(“
Queen of knowing none of her lyrics!!
*Jack continues to sing the original version while Lana laughs and repeats him trying to remember*

She is so over sing the chorus by this point
 
*Jack continues to describe MORE of the song because he remembers the whole thing while she can’t remember any of it*
Lana: “yeah. That was cool.”

I LOVE hearing DBJAG demo. Still top 3 for me
 
Omg she has to sing the chorus AGAIN
 
I love how you literally watch her create the old song again, she gets SUPER good when she stops caring and just freestyles (that “you’re back in the bar again, hanging OUT with you stupid friends” sounds better than the whole first half of the livestream 
 
“They said the service is looking gewd” like! She’s incredible. 
 
L: “Fuck.” 
Two seconds later “thank you Jack you’re the shit”
Jack: “oh you don’t wanna sing more?:(“
Lana: “no” starts laughing at that outrageous assumption 
“I’m happy it’s (NFR) not a big secret anymore” Jack is over the fans harassing him, too. 

Lana: “do you remember the first song we did?”
Jack: “of course” silence. 
(Coming from the man who knew 95% of Bird World. He was waiting for her to say what it was because it probably wasn’t Love Song. It was probably LA who am I or some other random outtake)

I love that they call NFR Normie 
 
Mentions the triple video MONTHS before release 
 
WHERE IS THE BEACH INTERVIEW LANA

Oooh she described the beach interview as “interesting” while sounding a little annoyed
 
She described Love Song as “stark” and is “the kind of song you have to have a video for” 
 
Jack: “do you have a video?”
Lana: “I do. I’d like to paint it” add that to the thread of LIES

She realizes CG is the “sauciest”
 
The being “fucked up in Boston” time period inspired a lot of HTD and CG lyrics (and probably some of the poetry (sugarfish at the top of my head))
 
Jack: “Lana. What’s your favorite song”
Lana: *long pause while glaring* “Norman 
Jack: “Why”
Lana: *long pause* “I love ur chords”
 
She says Hope is eerie and weird to put out when you don’t know what your next record is going to sound like and you have no idea what your next step in life is. 
So when she said she wanted to surprise drop a new album in 12-13 months after NFR, she was just being hopeful
 
Lana thought Norman could have been completed when doing Love Song and Hope (which apparently were also the first two songs so that would have been a super short album)
 
L: “If they still made albums that were still A side and B side, we would have so many joint gems” YES!! I always say she would do best releasing dual singles

“Nobody is spilling shit Allison, fuck off” has me rolling
 
L: “Do you have any pets? No I do not. I was going to get a family of 2 German Shepard”
J: “don’t lie.”
L: *nervous laugher* “okay it was 4”
Jack is ROASTING Lana so hard omg
 
Now she has 2 cats and chickens love the growth 
 
L: “Chuck, what was our first show? When we went ice skating? In the arena?”
C: *confused look*
L: “shania Twain!” Ugh yes Stan Queen shania 

Love how Chuck seems just as clueless about things as Lana
 
Why the secrecy??? I wanna know what someone at Fish left behind that got them banned from lack placid 
 
“Do a video figure skating” I blame that person for her broken arm 
 
C+J: “I was obsessed with shania” “who wasn’t?”
Laura: “me.” Well fuck you bitch 
 
Mentions the three part video AGAIN
“Out in October around all of our shows” LIE
 
L: “Make sure I sign off before I say something FUUUCKED UP” 

*disconnects*
 
L: “I Fucking hate my fans” (I’m assuming)

It’s Dark But Just A Game

Put in the fake leak thread asking if anybody heard it

I can’t wait to see everyone losing their shit in a few more months of total radio silence and no releases 

WOW so this pre-release is going to be even more arid 

But Chemtrails was extremely successful in sales. The roll out was messy, but she lived rent-free in everybody's head

He knows much more actually. Like promo rollout for Future Nostalgia, their budget, planned performances and etc.

How would he know what her team advises her to do... I thought he just had access to a database like every other leaker.
 
Anyways. I guess that's good advice image wise but I think dropping an album with zero interaction with her fanbase will result in terrible sales. But I doubt she cares about sales anymore judging by the Chemtrails rollout.

Who even said that 3 new songs are demos? You can dislike them, but don't make things up.
