I tried to predict how I'll rank the songs when the album will be out based on the things we know so far:
 
1. Dark But Just A Game ( I know it will sound like the folky little sister of "The Blackest Day ")
2. Yosemite 
3. Not All Who Wander Are Lost 
4. Wild At Heart 
5.  White Dress 
6. Chemtrails Over The Country Club 
7. Tulsa Jesus Freak 
8. Dance Till We Die 
9. Breaking Up Slowly 
10. For Free 
11. Let Me Love You Like A Woman 
 
I really like  Let Me Love You Like A Keyboard Smash..it's cute & kinda romantic but somehow I think it will end up at the bottom of my ranking
Saying that , it's a good song & so the album will be amazing 
 
 

OMFG!!! The way I didn't think anybody else would like this idea!!! That's so exciting!!!!  
 
my impact on LB today 

definitely, and w TJF. I know For Free's already been sung live and footage of it's already out from before. I hope Yosemite'll get some kind of home video treatment too 

cocc, white dress, and tjf as singles would be a match made in heaven 

I know that it might be a bit early but I'm wondering if there'll be any more singles from the album. she teased TJF first. Yosemite's well liked nd has been w her for a long time logn enough for a home video. For Free could easily have a tour performance vid. hm 

i know ya'll aren't technically comparing eilish and lana but i find it so insulting to lana when they're described as both having moody music,
it's like comparing madonna to melanie martinez or justin bieber

me mouthing the lyrics to White Dress only as initials dsjfnsdfnsdfs 

well that was a lot. 11 days WD  more or less a MONTH til the record 

Imagine us counting down to feb 26 for WD and then feb 26 is actually the announcement for WD's release date 
That's not funny, it's sad.  

I won't compare Billie to Lana since Billie is much younger and has years and years of developing in front of her. But the way Lana uses her references separates her from everyone else. NFR is a prime example since it's built on them. Lana's world as a whole is built from a reference on top of a reference. It does show her "level of knowledge" of those artists or even places. What I dislike is when people say "Well isn't she a songwriter? Why can't she express herself better on social media and interviews?". They are not connected in any way and many don't seem to understand that. 

I think its just bc a lot of people here love Lana and probably disliked seeing her let down on camera after campaigning for the Grammys and sorta just being ambushed. They were making a big fuss and praising her but ultimately just used her something something about being an artist that shaped a new wave of music but then praising Eillish for her emergence and current pop relevancy when for the most part both had moody music, but they ultimately went for Eillish bc she was current even if Lana was considered to be a lot more original and let's face it less in ur face gimmicky trended how Eillish might be easily more perceived. 
 
Both do mold culture greatly it's just that Lana's usually just forgotten even when an entire sleu of artists began trying to replicate her sound. The way artists had a wave of trying real hard to sound like Rihanna, and currently like Ariana w their vocals and song content. I do think she's an underdog in that sense and she's usually more picked on, and praised only when it benefits publications etc. It's just shallow and fake so it probably extends that mindset to fans but thing is and we know this is that pop culture n music shouldnt be rules of thumb for measuring quality. Thats always been a clash. 
 
Lana's just extremely underappreciated while culture benefits from the stuff that she does without getting the proper credit she DESERVES. Which can be frustrating. So maybe that's where it stems. Wanting her to be treated better and if not, just fairly. 
 
Personally, I think perspective'll show how her work is ahead of her peers when it comes to her wordage, consistency and trademark original sound etc. But it'd also be great if she was appreciated in the now too. It can be difficult already knowing things ahead of others, and then being paid dust and having someone else take credit because of favoritism. It lacks integrity as society. 

ok i know its a hot topic on here but im like so glad she has For Free on the tracklist. I feel like what really sets Lana apart from all the other popgirls and alt girls in the game rn is like they are all having their moments and stuff and some of the greats in the music industry might say something nice about them in an interview, but Lana actually knows the greats  music (joni, bruce, bob etc) very well and takes direct inspiration from them fused with her own pure talent. Like i really don't think Billie Eyelash ever listens to Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan or anyone like that, but Lana does and it shows. And shes praised by those same greats like Springsteen. And she has an impressive collab list, Sean Ono Lenon(yuck but impressive name), Stevie Nicks, as well as a covers list, Nina, Joni, etc. Lana is just so far ahead of her peers

If we get COCC, Iron Gates, and AKA this year, I have nothing else to live for and I'M SO EXCITED 

2019 - NFR
2020 - Violet
2021 - COCC, Iron Gates, AKA
2022 - That unreleased compilation “most likely re-recorded”, The Grimes produced album.
2023 - the 3rd book.

This morning the sky looks like the sky on the alt cover and it fits the mood of the title track so much...it's a sign,  something will happen today 

I'm just gonna wake up at 2:30 or something and listen to Chemtrails at 3AM with a clean slate. I can listen to COCC with the rest of her albums later but I want my first listen to send me to another world. 

maybe i should listen to AKA–NFR straight through in the hours leading up to COTCC release but that seems.... insane  it'd take roughly 6 hrs 45 minutes i think so i'd have to start at 5 ish... or maybe i'll just listen to all the lizzy grant songs so i fully feel her reflection on that time 

she sings that though...right? 

For the longtest time I thought the chorus of Salvatore was “Ah ah ah ah ah salvatoreeee”. One day I met a Lana stan and he asked me what my favorite Lana song was and I said Salvatore to show him I knew the deep cuts. I was so excited to meet someone IRL who loved Lana, I just started singing the chorus in front of him and then he told me “actually it's cacciatore” and I haven't recovered since 

This line actually turned out to be neither of these, but rather: "tell me songs at night 'bout your favourite girl"
It can be heard clearly during this performance at 1:27 - 
Live performances can be a great resource to weed out those uncertain lyrics. It also helped solved the PWYC bridge mystery.
 
 
I think the two biggest unsolved lyrical mysteries for me will always be Bel Air & Trash Magic

this is something that i can't comprehend because i honestly don't think i go a day without listening to her
 
but you deserve to treat yourself... listen to some lana

Kinda off topic but I've been in a studio today recording my cousin for eight hours straight and honestly it is more work than I thought. I really appreciate Lana so much more now. She truly is always working to give us so many wonderful songs! Also I gave an advice to make the song better and used Lana as an example. It upgraded the song.
