Okay, so ... I'm not really into Taylor's stuff, but I really liked the aesthetic of the 62 album covers and the tracklist, etc, so I gave it a listen, start to finish.
 
That's an hour of my life I'll never get back.
 
It has some pretty instrumentals and some interesting lyrics, but almost every song goes nowhere and it all lacks intensity. I get that it's supposed to be a mellow, folksy album, and none of the tracks are terrible, but as an entire body of work I found it to be dull and too long.
 
Cardigan, August, and a couple of others are reasonable and I might put them on rotation when I recover from the trauma of being bored to tears.
 
I say all of this as a non-stan and the stans will probably come for my throat, but just being honest. I think it's really rad how she surprised dropped it 'n' shit, though.

HAHAHAHAHA guys the apple music description of the album says that Cardigan “bears shades of Lana Del Rey” oh my god

Pls let Tulsa Jesus Freak be a Sean diss track

who tf is driving though

yes 100% agree. I know people think Jim/Joe is Joe Schilling but I thought she was singing abt Jim Morrison on HTD too. because I thought she meant how they guys disappear as in "Die". but I doubt that's what the songs about tho. I could have been wrong

Hey, i don't know if you've already talked about this around the time Ultraviolence came out. I didn't know about this website yet. I've been listening to The Doors last couple of weeks (knew them by name but never listened), absolutely love them, and been learning a lot about who Jim Morrison was. So, as i was learning about him, Lana kept coming to my mind. I know he is one of her biggest influences, but i'm starting to think he is THE influence. I know and listen to Lana since 2012, and i know she writes a little autobiographically and a little fiction. And i've always, ALWAYS wonder who tf was the one she sings about. When Ultraviolence, the song, came out, i was all like MAN WHO THE FUCK IS JIM. Just drop a surname or whatever. And i know there is a theory about this song being about booze and addiction. But i really think she is fantasizing with Morrison. Or maybe being in Pam's skin and talking about their story. Or maybe about both- Jim and alcohol. Jim was an alcoholic too. But then Freak. I think she chose Father John Misty because he looks just like Jim. So FJM plays Jim in Freak's video. And i think Jim is there aaaall the time, present in her work. I don't know where else he could be. Maybe Heroin. And maybe a lot of the times she sings about love, he is there, even a little. So, since i discovered all of this i feel like i closed something. This all made sense to me. I mean, maybe she doesn't sing about him anymore, but at some point -and maybe in her darkest times- i think he was really a big impossible love of hers, a comfort, and her platonic. And maybe she searched for him in real life too, while dreaming about him in her work. Idk just a theory.

sis did not add an emoji...

has she changed her accent?

I feel like with this video we're living an extremely important time in Lana's career. This video feels super mega important I've never in my life seen her speak like this

pls someone tell me that title is just referential & that she's not a chemtrail truther..........................................

Patent Leather Do-Over
 
Sylvia
I knew what you meant when you talked about swimming in the ocean and leaving your patent leather black shoes pointed towards it while you swam
It tickled you to leave them there
It was the thought of a young child
or of a lost fairy
It reminded me of who I am
That's why I'm now at this facility by the ocean
And why I go barefoot and why I go calmly
Why I leave my shoes up by the stairway
I do it for you and I do it for me
because having learned from others and from you
I learned there was a missing piece to finding existential calmness and and domestic bliss to lead to peace
You see, you cant fall in love with a man like Ted or a musician who sings about being free
A woodworker doesn't a good man make if he wants his work to be on TV
You have to separate the wheat from the chaff
You have to be discerning
It takes diligence, consequence and other things to keep that sea from churning
and to keep yourself from longing to let those painted waves take you under
It isn't just the water black that makes the body plunder
from high sea cliffs
I know, my dear
I wish that I had been here
or there
I wish that you were here now
If you're not now
because who knows how these things work?
Sylvia, Marilyn, Violet, Diana
All of my kind women
Who came before me
Blonde
I dyed my hair black for you
I turned my back in that black pond
I swear I wont stop until I'm dead
and here I am at 34
and what for?
To bring my pair of baby pattern leather shoes to turn them the other way
towards the sea cliff stairs, not at the ocean
To bring them back up safe to the facility instead
and I think of you as I walk to the 280 wooden steps dynamited into the cliffs 100 years before
I let myself into room 2 and got undressed
I was sunburnt
Contemplative and sore
and as I fell asleep
by Gabapentin
I lay my head on the pillow
and stretched my hand out on the cool white linen
and sang you a lemon melody
I kept the shoes on the sill by the window seat
in case you got restless and wanted to leave
and I hugged you with my baby's breath
and sang your spirit to bed
the way I would have if you were my child
or if I had children
My Queen Anne's lace heart weightless on your little head


 

i think what most people is missing here is that she's actually talking about the freedom of women to be able to talk about her experienced sexuality. not about black women. not about not being number 1. not about just being criticized while she was borning as a star. not about race. not about an artist in particular. she's talking about the constructs of our cultural ideas, feminism, the establishment and sexuality. i think she's bold questioning our culture. not much people do this. Lana is really different compared to all the women she mentioned, and that's what makes her upset: you need to say and be what the establishment wants you to be. not a sumbmisse woman speaking about being vulnerable and in love- but a "powerful" and "sexually free" woman, happy and strong, independent and untouchable. and i think THAT'S white feminism (or liberal feminism). she disrupts the discourse. as many of the women she mentioned did. but i think Lana is not asking to be part of that culture.

as she recently said: "if this is it, I'm signin' off". she's simply pointing out the HYPOCRISY of it. our culture is not diverse. it is structured by fashion and the establishment.

you took her kindness for weakness
 
you took her sadness out of context

Twitter stans coming after Lana BC she glamourizes drugs, abusive behaviour etc when a fair few (including myself) listen to The Weeknd who's sung far worst things than she'll ever do. #doublestandards

do people realise that this was a draft of a thinkpiece about her place in the feminism spectrum and the misogyny she has been through throughout the years...... the way some keep making this a race issue.... the namedropping wasnt necessary but it did help make a point about how meaning of feminism and female empowerment have shifted throughout the years 

I think, in her confusing Lana way, she's giving a heads-up that her next album will be a return to her earlier persona (   ). Sounds like behind the scenes someone (producer? industry people?) might have criticized that, and she's like, "no, things have changed in 10 years, all these other women can write about the topics I've been criticized over and it's not a big deal anymore, in fact they have great success with it, so why shouldn't I?" It really sounds like she is responding to someone in particular, but she put it out there with zero context. 

didn't Doja get to number one in parts due to her promising to show off her tits or something? Also, while 'Say So' is a bop, where are my good up in arms feminist sisters at? Don't they know that the song was produced by our good pal Dr Luke?
