    look we all went through the 2015 hate phase bc she was clearly a d-grade copycat, but we're well past that and i just... cannot get into her
    her voice is like nails on a chalkboard, her lyrics are usually so cringy, on paper they are sometimes good but then her delivery ruins it, and her entire persona is just. I can't stand her. I know a lot of people really liked her last album, but I just can't get into it

    not at all... he is a perfect complement and i would love to hear more music from them together.
    this song wouldn't work (as well) without him. it would still sound incredible with Lana singing the verses too, but this is so much more powerful

    he could have given it an 11 and I would still DESPISE him. The way he has an army of incels that follow his every word and now there will be review bombing on all of the aggregator websites as always. It’s sick

    I really hope she can make top 3 in the US, that way all of her albums will have charted top 3 on Billboard. 
     
     
    I think she'll likely get #02 or #03 in the UK too. Can't believe Honeymoon is her only album not to hit #01 thus far here in the UK.
     
     
    Also, impressive that she's still charting like this, 10 years into her career, 8 projects deep and all without radio hits and major promotion.

    Yes! I loved how she said "Chemistry never dies". A cynical reading of that would be "Oh, she just doesn't want to let go of this guy...", but I found it comforting. Even if a relationship doesn't work out, there's a reason the two of you were brought together. Even if you're no longer in love, there was still something there, a chemistry, that connected you. And that never dies. I found it a really comforting reminder - every relationship has value, no matter its fate.
     
    She also had me super interested in the manifestation stuff, with all the books. I know people typically turn to New Age stuff when they're ***struggling*** and really need to get through a breakup/loss, etc., so I felt for her there... 
     
    This may come off as dramatic, but there's a massive sense of loss in Blue Banisters (title track) that radiates through the entire song - a heartbreak so deep that leaves you feeling close to numb. The video portrayed it very well. I think it's one of Lana's saddest songs, even if she's trying to spin it into something optimistic. She's still mourning the life she wants but can't seem to attain, which is why I think she's continuously talking about being on "the writer's/artist's path" and whatnot.

  18. Phenomena liked a post in a topic by Shades in What SHOULD the lyric HAVE been?   
    no, this alters the meaning of the song/line. her point is, Picasso, who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time, created much of his work out of the bleak darkness of his depression. she is essentially saying "if he hadn't felt that way, the art we enjoy so much wouldn't have existed, just like my songs wouldn't if I wasn't sad." It's a bit of a controversial take (the whole you need to be tortured to be an artist trope), but your line alters the meaning to "how would U like it if someone asks u not to be sad when ur sad -_-"

    If she's gonna cover a stevie nicks/fleetwood mac song it should be storms

    When reviewing Chemtrails, Mojo Magazine mentioned this artist in the “Lana Del Rey alphabet” list, and I personally feel it’s so similar to Lana’s early work
     
    If you like Fordham Road by Lana, you might like this one! I’d love if she covered it

    I still think that Dream A Little Dream of Me would be perfect for this album  Lana's voice was made for that song. And it would be a bit of a call-back to FILY

    Nah, Sisters of the Moon would be better. Or Silver Springs. Everyone covers landslide.

    I want a Mama Cass cover on this album. PLEASE. the Queen covering the Queen of Laurel Canyon would be FUCKING ICONIC (even tho Cass didn't write much of her own stuff, idc)
