Hallo Heaven

I've been covering Joni and dancing with Joan
Stevie's calling on the telephone
Court almost burned down my home
But, God, it feels good not to be alone

But sometimes this ranch feels like my only friend
And life doesn't always work out like we planned
We keep it movin', babe

So we made it back in the middle of the night
To the Louisiana two-step high and bright
& we won't say when, we won't ask why
& we won't stop dancin' 'til we die
I'll keep walking on the sunny side
& we won't stop dancin' 'til we die

Troubled by my circumstance
Burdened by the weight of fame
Clementine's not just a fruit
It's my daughter's chosen name

And when all the bars close down tonight
There's one that stays open just for us, alright
We keep dancin', babe

So we made it back in the middle of the night
(We keep dancin', babe)
To the Louisiana two-step high and bright
(We keep it movin', babe)
& we won't say when, we won't ask why
We won't stop dancin' 'til we die
We'll keep walkin' on the sunny side
& we won't stop dancin' 'til we die

I went down to Woodside
I left Berkley, out of city, out of mind
Killin' it, talkin' shit, Joan said she was gonna quit
Tearin' it up at the Afro-Caribbean two-step
I left San Francisco
I've been coverin' Joni and I'm dancin' with Joan
It's kinda hard to find love
When you're used to rollin' like a rolling stone

So we made it back in the middle of the night
(We keep it movin', babe)
To the Louisiana two-step high and bright
(We keep on dancin', babe)
And we won't say when, we won't ask why
We won't stop dancin' 'til we die
We'll keep walkin' on the sunny side
& we won't stop dancin' 'til we die
& we won't stop dancin' 'til we die
 

Weyes Blood ruined it 

[Zella Day]
I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around in the dirty town
& the children let out from the schools
I was standing on a noisy corner
Waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood
& he played real good
On his clarinet for free

[Lana Del Rey]
Now me, I play for fortunes
& those velvet curtain calls
I got a black Limousine and two gentlemen
Who escort me through these halls
& I'll play if you got the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand
He was playing real good for free

[Weyes Blood]
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never been on their TV
So they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain
As the signal changed
He was playing real good for free

 
 

Damn did this make anyone else cry a little? This video elevated an already outstanding song and album opener. The skating was also really beautiful. 

yeh the video is meh. It will get like 3 million views. Gone are the days of BTD and UV videography. But it dont matter cuz the song is GOLD.

no let me love you was way worse. Shot in her car and edited on imovie in an hour

Oops, I definitely assumed the body double is supposed to be a young Lana  Because otherwise imo it was too obvious that it's not her??

What the hell happened in this thread

I love the video! It’s definitely a nice mood visual to have with the song - very lowkey, subtle, but pretty  Lana looks absolutely stunning in it, and I like that the face of the figure skater isn’t completely noticeable in the scenes where she’s supposed to be Lana. It makes it more haunting and impactful! Such a nice treat with the other merch coming out on release day <3

i actually loved the video. i get that the body double may be frustrating for some, but i honestly think that under the circumstances, with her having a broken arm and all, it's great she managed to still make the video, and actually skate in it, just using the double for the more demanding scenes. the video is gorgeous too. my only complaint is the lack of story.
this is of course, assuming it's actually her skating with the sling on. it wouldn't make much sense for it to be the double.

She really incorporated her broken elbow into the music video 

I can't believe y'all are cross about the body double. Stop being so over-obsessive.
That's literally the only aesthetic and nice part of the video - the figure skating. The rest is messy and lacks artistic vision.
 

It was absolutely STUNNING.
Do you think there is footage of Lana falling?

Lana used to figure skate as a child 

I really hope they force her convince her to promote this, this deserves the LMLYLAW promo treatment, specially after they paid dust to COCC event though it had a big potential

it's not even the worst video from this album cycle... let alone her worst video. did i watch a different version of it on YouTube or is there a reason people don't like it ?

Justice

I really, really, really wonder what Lana's favorite Lana album is. 

they're labeling it as "controversial" because apparently skinny jeans aren't cool anymore... according to tiktok  

...Footwear News? 

ok so ive been playing her cover of season of the witch on repeat for the past few days and I really hope the covers album is all rock songs from the 60s and 70s theres so many great songs that would sound so good

It must be very sad for her as an artist to see that she is making a lot more money with this absolutely fake sextape than all her music combined, this is really a new low.

Wtf is dis 

yeah me too lmao

She was raised Catholic, so she probably read the Lord of the Rings books dozens of times as a kid. Seeing as she’s always been inspired by lots of old writers, and he does focus heavily on lush textured descriptions of nature, and includes lots of songs/poems in his works, it actually kinda makes sense she’d be a fan of his work.

why does her caption sound so melodramatic?! it almost reads like an s-word note ffs.
