Bird World

as strange as it might sound, but what i love especially about all this is the uniqueness of the song, and lana's exploration of being and the soul, or at least that's how i think about it. it's liberating in a sense cus in ways, these topics aren't really talked about, and there's a comfort in sort of wanting that, being freaky but still reigning things in, in a genuine way. it's honestly refreshing and personally i think it's perfect. 

here u have it:

On her story -
 

this one   & the original one  if only I had money 

totally agreed! they made some real magic on that record!

Not a chance…she’s gonna continue hiding this era I fear 😢

this one   & the original one  if only I had money 

this one   & the original one  if only I had money 

this one   & the original one  if only I had money 

this one   & the original one  if only I had money 

Wait this song is so tragic now that I’m actually absorbing the lyrics…
 
so she’s saying basically she was once pretty and popular but eventually time and men will make her become irrelevant and forgotten. and she’s afraid of that happening 
 
omg…
 
obviously I don’t AGREE with what I just typed but those are definitely the sentiments of this song. It almost is like a sequel to young & beautiful 

“There’s only one and it’s in Tulsa”

Not all ballads are the same and if it is a ballad driven album, knowing that insiders enjoyed this album gives me so much hope. 
Forget old Lana. Her music style and approach to song writing has clearly changed over the years. Imagine 9 BTD or UV like albums.... You'd be sick of it

So I was reading the comments on YouTube under the video of Lana's new single and I found this beautiful interpretation of the song. I also relate to this heavy at the moment, and it's crazy how every time Lana drops a new song/album I feel like we are going through the EXACT same thing. Like we are on the same path. That's why I love her so much and connect to her music, because I relate to her on a crazy level - I get her. Only thing I would change about this paragraph is "mommy" issues, not daddy issues (or maybe both in a way?) Also I didn't write this comment, so I'm not saying this IS the meaning behind the lyrics, but it does make a lot of sense and my mind could never come up with something like this.

It's also ok to admit that you like a certain album by an artist, even though you're not a fan of their entire body of work.
Like, I'm not a Marina stan, but I love her album Froot a lot. So I'm not gonna force myself to like her other stuff, nor am I gonna go to Marina forums and be annoying saying she should make Froot 2.0  Unfortunately I think that happens a lot on Lana forums, some people just really like UV, not Lana herself.

It lowkey upsets me when I see fans saying they disliked COCC, BB or even NFR. I know some of you have gripes about vocals or production, more technical things like that - and I definitely have felt like some of the material hasn't been *my speed* but I can't bring myself to call any of her recent output legitimately "bad", Lana has her styles that she sticks to and while I may find some songs more interesting than others, I think all of her songs are very pretty but I am likely biased
 
I think perhaps in some ways the fan base has out grown Lana or Lana herself has out grown her fanbase. She is aging (and I don't mean this in a negative context) and maturing and the lyrics and sound have reflected that. I mean there's still some fans who are hoping for a BTD return to form or still have BTD+P high in album & song rankings and I get those were great eras but I think that too is reflective of how Lana has maybe out grown some of the fans she retained from those albums, but you guys are still here and I think that's lovely. You don't have to like everything an artist does surely and to critique it is quite fun sometimes too
 
I can say for myself I hardly revisit COCC and when I do it's the same tracks (WAH, WD, DBJAG) but I think it gets a bad rep, or the people who dislike it are very vocal because I think it's 50/50 split in the fanbase and you either love it or hate it. I'm going to try and make a more conscious effort to stream it and listen to those songs because I really think the album will get better with time and fans will grow to appreciate it more ala Honeymoon.
 
BUT I did absolutely loved BB and still frequent it these days, I think it's showcased some of her most delicate and transparent lyrical moments of her career and I am so grateful she decided to share those songs. Title track, WW, BBS, Beautiful, Living Legend, Text Book, Cherry Blossom...all immaculate beautiful tracks with so much emotion and heart in them. It's not fair this album gets critiqued quite a bit for having youtube rip leaks like it's not fair someone leaked all of her material and she really loved those songs and so do we so I am happy they were attached to a project that I felt was rather cohesive and really was like she was telling a story with the track list and it's like UV's more hopeful sister in a way.
 
Just my random thoughts. Lana is an amazing songwriter and she has been doing this for so long! I trust and more importantly respect her artistic vision and decisions. I will always be a listener.

I can't believe I'm seeing Florida Kilos slander, it's a masterpiece
 

it’s times like this whole billboard “controversy” (aka the only people who care are bootlicking rednecks) where i’m really glad she’s private now, i feel like if she still had lanadelrey and posted the same thing on her main account, her comments would look very different lol

Imagine what these people are in real
life 💀

I personally love Chemtrails, it's one of my favorites.

Lana survived QfTC, then released two albums (i personally love them) that are generally concidered not to be as good as their predecessors by the fans, at least that seems to be the louder bunch. Yet they both were well received by critics.
So this little Sean billboard debacle is so null, she's kind of indestructable atp. Esp since she's about to deliver a masterpiece
 

 

Her team wouldn’t let her use up her $200 promo budget on a single billboard in Tulsa unless they knew it would be worthwhile so the media attention is definitely intentional

ben is in the walls of Lanaboards fr 

my mom was listening to her little 80's music playlist and she doesn't have spotify premium, so she has to listen to ads. imagine my surprise when DYKTTATUOB started playing, followed by "sad songs to cry to until you dehydrate" 

it's not even a breakup album she's just being petty for fun 😭
