    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    She was joking just to get more views on this video... the film is obviously a reference to a female archetype in mass media throughout ages. Sure, Electra might live somewhere in an alternative universe but the way fandom thinks those three Marinas in VFT video represent TFJ, EH and FROOT are sooo delusional. What the "fucked with the food chain" line was supposed to be tho....stanning this woman gets more and more tiring.

    The only time Marina resurrected Electra was after backlash of L+F. Apparently she will go back to her whenever things go wrong. And Venus Fly Trap thing was obviously just a joke.
  3. There's no better version than James Ford one, you can't convince me otherwise. Everything else is just laid-back bedroom folk boredom. It would be cute to release all versions, given that she released a sped up dumbo, but abandoning that one is just insane.
  4. So it's Say Yes to Heaven after all... Okay mama let us just cherish an actually good version

    I think that the problem with ADIAML was how she just abandoned the political idea and focused on post heartbreak project merging them into one which neither makes sense nor lets any of them shine bright enough. I wonder if that's also why she didn't actually rewrite anything because PTP is so lyrically messy it hurts. Anyway I hope she'll redeem herself artistically now that she's not only single but also free from a toxic relationship draining her energy...

    Jess was not a good manager to begin with, no matter if pregnant or not, and what she did voluntarily was bring a new born baby to Marina's concert to give her a surprise birthday cake which ain't really responsible and blaming then that on Marina is hypocrisy.

    It's understandable how she has little to sing about herself, probably says good about her mental health (which admittedly isn't that good seeing her unfortunately chaotic and too Rupikauresque poetry). She could've rescued herself from all that had she started writing songs from fictional characters' perspective, same way Kate Bush did.

    She put that album ASAP so we could forget L+F. We received it fairly well so now she can chill yet another year. She's becoming admittedly annoying. How come she can even stand for social justice when she's using all her wealth to doing nothing and basking in sunlight when she knows that her audience does not consist of old money or Las Vegas influencers. Venus Fly Trap was cute for a while but if she ever agains boasts about being a millionairess... if you don't know what to do with your money just give it to charity lmao.

    Did she seriously repost Rupi Kaur's poem
  13. I honestly prefer Yes to Heaven because it is shorter and sounds more mysterious, adding elements of mysticism and Catholicism that Lana's known so much for. Say Yes to Heaven reminds me of rather cliched titles like Say You Love Me or Say To Me and stuff like that and narrows the concept of what the song is about. But it's just my opinion of course. Idc about the title as long as the song is as good as or better than the demo Ultraviolence version we have.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    Oh yeah! That was from the time when they were confirmed to be friends though and it's less apparent. Now the whole fandom thinks they don't like each other but here is Lana coming with this. What's something we don't know?

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    At least we got Marina reference from Lana in Candy Necklace tho. Super suicidal and Bible can't be coincidental

    Power & Control is so criminally underrated. Power pop at its best.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    oh I see. well Rick could've made it to sound more like Bubblegum Bitch, it would've been perfect. Stargate was probably cheaper tho

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    It did not fit sonically because it was supposed to sound like that and was replaced with instrumental background made for a different artist: Definitely not a single material... but perhaps with some changes here and there it could've had more potential.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    Nothing weird about it, they had been a couple for a few years already, after many years love just doesn't feel like in typical pop songs, apart from the fact they had a dysfunctional relationship and probably Marina forced herself to write it. Its substantial lyrical structure revolve mostly around anxiety; "You never judge me for any of my fears / I love the way we worked so hard Yeah, we've come so far Baby, look at me, you're my superstar When I'm afraid, when the world's gone dark Come and save my day, you're my superstar".

    that's the destiny of 'marinabook' ever since it was created

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    After years of passionate listening to this track I realised it is severely underdeveloped and the fact this version's supposed to be final sheds a bad light on it. The lyrics are too repetitive, the vocals sound unpolished and the instrumental background doesn't have many things going on. Compare it to marvelous final versions of Power & Control or Living Dead. Miss Y (https://dbree.org/v/062a25) sounded more prepared but I can't seem to find the actual HQ final version with the guitar bridge and piano ending (https://dbree.org/v/fb7f7b).
  22. Finally some Born to Die and Ultraviolence vibes??? She still has it in her!!! Chemtrails and Tulsa were a great return to Honeymoon, now this Let me pretend that all recent piano songs never happened tho

    in alternative universe electra heart was topping all international charts and critics praised it so marina did not have a nervous breakdown, became an international alt pop star, and never gave up on her artistry. i said what i said

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    yes this song is so badly written. i imagine some potential in that alternative title tho with better lyrics. most ideas in l+f are practically ill-executed, esp. to be human. not that new america is any better... unfortunately @Anonymcomenter nah, she doesn't do it, she's admitted to not even reading professional reviews anymore because she cares about her mental health. quite a shame bc ancient dreams in a modern land had nice ones

    actually 'enjoy your problems' comes from a t-shirt (below) and tbh i'd rather have that instead of silly 'enjoy your life'
