somethings fishy about this  i feel like lana would never want to release that shit

Earlier today, Lana Del Rey met fans while at Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil.
She is departing from Brazil after her performances at MITA Festival in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo the past two weekends.
 

 

lana singing cola:

Top 3 on Blue Banisters 

if you mean somebody who's a part of her touring band like blake or byron, because they've been a part of lana's touring band for many years, so we feel familiar with them, it would be disappointing that somebody who's been working with lana for many years that many of her fans are familiar with would say something insensitive and racist, at first i thought they were talking about tom marsh who's been working with lana since 2013

Will we get an amazon exclusive vinyl?  

I don’t think it’s fair to keep on blaming the festivals when this has happened to all her professionally recorded festivals/performances since NFR era.
 
Its clearly Lanas team not setting her mic/ setting up in a way that suits her because what you are hearing is her voice without the dozens of added layers of playback. Additionally she just doesn’t really put strength into her vocal performances like BTD despite its era pitchiness   🤷‍♀️ 

Who else loved the transition from being a bit nervous at the beginning to her “who’s at charge tho” at the end xD ? 
the way she fought to stay overtime was the cutest!!

Lana arriving to Hyde Park 45 minutes late with her Costa coffee and vape to perform Let me love you like a woman and Beautiful to UK 🚬 

My only critique of the performance is that I really wish she would've projected her voice more into the mic, there are clearly parts she didn't feel comfortable singing. She was also very visibly nervous, but I'm very proud of her and pleased by the crowd's enthusiasm

Did we watch the same thing???????? There were some issues at the very beginning but she absolutely SLAYED the rest of her set. Her vocals on Arcadia, the grants, and candy necklace were incredible and some of her best to date live. 

My theory; I think VG was the perfect song to finish on
 
I hate when people diminish Lana’s earlier work to being all about boyfriends and relationships and shit (I mean a lot of it is but it’s not JUST about that). But it is also evident that bfs & relationships are big impacts on her and on what she writes about
 
She’s spoken at length about the process she had of writing Video Games - about a relationship where she’s essentially given up her plans as a writer/singer to live a life of domesticity with her man. A lot of people play it at their weddings and I’ve never known why because it’s beautiful, yeah, but it’s so damn sad. Not just melodically - but the overarching themes break my heart
 
And ofc we all remember the infamous Dublin performance where L broke down singing VG on stage. Singing “it’s only worth living if somebody  is loving you” at a time when felt like she wasn’t - not just in a relationship sense but in terms of fans too, being villianised by the press, being openly suicidal - is beyond heartbreaking to think
 
But now she’s SO much happier and healthier, which is a point she’s stressed repeatedly in interviews and is apparent to see even in candid and fan photos. She told Rolling Stone in March that she has passion for making music (or words to that effect, can’t double check rn) for the first time in a decade. She’s just released an album full of healing 
 
So to me it makes perfect sense to use VG as a closer now. A) it shows full circle how far she’s come from those days when she couldn’t sing it without breaking down and B) with all the self-reflection she’s done on family and friends and so on, the lines don’t HAVE to be about a partner anymore. To me, when she says “it’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you…” she’s saying it to her fans and loved ones, because THEY are the ones she lives for now. And also for herself! I like to think she’s addressing past Lizzy on the stage of Arlene’s Grocery with her lil guitar telling her… this is for you, too, kid.
 
(I haven’t taken my mood stabilisers yet so please excuse me.)
 
So she’s sending her fans back out into the world after her performance telling them… this was for y’all. I think it fits beautifully. 
 
(In the same vein I think Get Free would also work, but VG ties the whole healing shit together better) 
 

she probably can hit her old notes too, she either just needs retraining or she just chooses not to because its easier for her
 
i think she put on an amazing show last night and she is clearly alot happier having the singers on stage. we should be grateful shes still touring despite the fact we know she doesnt enjoy it too much
 
i loved it 

I love the setlist but something that includes every album of hers would be perfect, let me be delusional:
ACT I - Nature Boy Intro
1. A&W
2. White Dress
3. Young & Beautiful
ACT II - Bar Interlude
4. Bartender
5. The Grants
6. Sweet
7. West Coast
ACT III - Flip Interlude
8. Flipside
9. Blue Jeans
10. High By the Beach
11. Cherry
12. Cinnamon Girl / TJF / Fishtail (Medley)
ACT IV - Ride Monologue
13. Ride
14. Born to Die
15. Brooklyn Baby
16. NFR
17. Arcadia
ACT V - Ultra Interlude
18. Ultraviolence
19. Freak
20. Summertime Sadness
21. Candy Necklace
22. Taco Truck / Venice Bitch (Medley)
ACT VI - Bittersweet Interlude
23. National Anthem
24. Ocean Blvd
25. Video Games
 
 
 

I finally just got done watching the show, absolutely cried like a baby during ride, found even more love for CN and TUOB which I didn't even think possible and my final lasting impressions were how strong her vocals have gotten and how happy she looked the whole time. Lana the Performer era, we aren't worthy 
 
also that outro would have been d r a m a t i c 

Us arriving to a new thread 

i still can't get over the nature boy/moulin rouge intro iconic.

Someone on Twitter mentioned Dua did the same thing at the Rock in Rio festival (?), maybe it’s something their management request as protocol
