This is one of the lines that people online seemed to argue over (what exactly the line said), and that she took the time to VERY clearly enunciate when singing it live, so I think she really wanted it to be understood.

100% not a Lana show. Maybe they're spinning her record between sets?

It's always great when a fella tells a woman how she should be a better feminist. (I haven't watched it, and probably won't, but seeing as he clearly didn't listen to the album the first time around, then fuck him).

Every line of this song is God-level poetry, and is both hilarious and terrifying. The greatest diss track of all time, and it's entirely self-directed! I've had lines from this very song come to mind a thousand times.

What is the source for this? (Also, everyone needs to look her up, so I'm noting the correct spelling of Simone Weil's name)

Good to see this thread is popping. I strongly recommend the album 'Songs of Love and Hate' for fans of Ocean Blvd - it uses similar song structures and themes, and is simply a masterpiece.

Exactly the same as The Guardian with NFR.

This is one of the most poetically dense and multifaceted lyrics I've ever come across. I'm still trying to come to grips with it.

I'm seeing Honeymoon is back?!

Her singing Dolly's version of 'I Will Always Love You' would be a dream come true.

Looking forward to Lana recreating this scene on her next tour

Visuals and sound were absolutely stunning. I managed to have to miss it live due to work, but thank you to NBC and Elle for posting them so quickly. I'm also really glad that Byron got to star, by Lana's side, where he's been ride-or-die for over a decade.

Fantastic! Blake has always seemed like a super cool guy.

100% agree. I have some really unusual and/or idiosyncratic readings of a number of songs, and it's fun to play with words, but the theories that fans hold onto, and fight other fans over disagreeing is the problem. In general, Lana seems to prefer double meanings that work properly in English, and the fact she doesn't usually publish lyrics shows she's happy to let us play with those double meanings/misreadings. She's said over and over that she's very careful about the words she uses, so you should at least respect the surface level of the lyrics, before throwing them out for a 'hidden' meaning.

I can''t find the post now, but when she posted about it, she wrote 'Don't take the necklace, and if you do take it, give it back'.

This guy has done a couple of Lana videos, but this is the most in-depth ones, and one that sums up so much of how I feel about Lana's career. He's more positive than most of us were about the interview, but not unconditionally so.

It's so disheartening, because the 'other' lyrics are always so awful. "Until I saw you why am I staying?"

An interesting video about how this will be Lana's Grammy Awards, whether she wins or not.

Her having to sing the song to herself to remind herself of her astrological signs is peak Lana.

There's nothing worse than an interviewer who thinks we want to read their lifestory and philosophy of the world in every article they write. They need to make something of their life before any of us are going to care. The pictures and video, on the other hand, are lovely.

Seeing this, I have to admit that I felt a little thrill - it's cool to be brought back to the old days of LG. But we also have to remember that the 'Lizzy Grant era' has a completely different meaning to Lana than it does to us.

Not on streaming in Australia yet.

I'm not sure if it's a problem with the translation, but saying she didn't like A&W is not really true.
