it's cute. 'tis the damn season, tolerate and closure got me weeping like a baby. however, i was feeling a little 'eh' even from just folklore alone having 17 songs because listening to it as a full album got a little... well, not necessarily boring but let's say that it could have been shorter. so you know, i feel that 34 'similar' songs in a short period time is maybe just a few too many, especially if you listen the albums back to back. but again, if she's happy with this (and she seems to be) i'm happy. still going to stream and buy the cd, waiting for the signed copy. i'm now the middle of my second round and she just keeps proving that she truly has a gift of storytelling, so i like that she also tells about some 'fictional' stuff. also i'm glad about the fact that i can now create more of my own 'chapters' like she did with folklore.

anyone here that still hasn’t gotten their ticket refunds from the eu shows?

anyone else scared as shit that the tour will be cancelled

Just thinking about how the whole Love + Fear flopped as a concept... IMAGINE all the visuals we could’ve had

Just read some of this thread and stuff about Lana using several men in one song and I found myself thinking about that when I was listening to Terrence Loves You. And now it as a song feels more interesting because like many of Lana’s songs we can’t be sure who that really is written about but uhm Does anyone else think that TLY could be a song that's about all of her men? She loses the man and herself along the way and finds another one to distract herself? Like we know that she is really not the type to stay single for a long time and also she has had a lot of if not real boyfriends than at least ‘speculated relations’. And many of her relationships seem to me like they change her, even if just a bit because she puts so much of her heart into them. “I lost myself when I lost you” sounds to me like she found a man, she feels brand new with him because you know she herself is sensitive and adapts so well into her mens’ feelings and maybe even copies their characteristics? But then the man is gone, so now she is gone too? “But you are who you are, I won't change you for anything. When you are crazy, I'll let you be bad. I'll never dare change thee to what you are not” her men are who they are and she doesn’t put thoughts or efforts into changing them not only because she truly cares for them but also because she finds it easier and more pleasant to just change herself? “I still got jazz when I’ve got those blues” ‘Jazz' could be an allegory to her true self? Like she still has some of herself left that she feels most connected with whenever she gets the ‘blues’ which could mean the break up? Or ‘jazz’ as in herself, her music and art that is always there and ‘blues’ as men that come and go? I can see this song could also could also be about Barrie or ‘K’ or Josh or whoever her ‘same goddamn person’ is but this is something I’ve been thinking bout recently. Especially since she has dated Sean. Or who knows maybe this song is just about alcohol idk

You mean as an album or an era? Maybe it is more of a personal feeling or a vibe rather than something that everyone can see and reflect on, but to me her first three albums (and Paradise) truly created their own worlds or atmospheres. At those moments, Lana seemed to be focused on what she was creating. During Honeymoon era, she was working with the album while sharing only some information with us and then she just released it when the album got ready. She had beautiful aesthetics that fit the albums atmosphere (except I didn’t really like HBTB as a song or a video and the UV visuals in the Freak video still bother me since I know that they weren’t created for Freak itself in the first place lmao). She had her 2016 festival tour and then a small hiatus before Love, overall a really chill but still a nice era whatsoever. Where as LFL era; it began by Love & the album trailer but somehow just slided into...? I don’t even know. She ditched the ‘cosmic witch from Hollyweird’-thing and started to share ideas and snippets that were never included in the album. We got excited about stuff and releases that were postponed or ended up never releasing at all. And same continued with NFR era. She was in the middle of LATTM tour while she said that she was working on Bartender and then released the HIAB snippet. And still we had 1,5 years left until NFR was released. now that i thought of it I don’t know if ‘cohesive’ is the right word when compared to BTD or Paradise but when compared to LFL...

Exactly what I was thinking. For me Honeymoon was basically the last ‘cohesive’ era that we got and since the beginning of Lust for Life-era everything has just... You know moved on. Of course she has had different new themes and whatever since 2016 but to me LFL and NFR just happened back to back, sometimes we got new stuff and sometimes we didn’t. To me there just wasn’t specific ending of LFL and the beginning of NFR. Kinda like it, kinda don’t lmao.

I’m so pissed that Lana dumped the direction LFL seemed to be heading at the beginning of the era (my love takes you to moon or whatever) :/ I think that almost half of the songs from the album sound way more fitting to the aesthetics of NFR and the overall ’vibe’ that it has as an era. For example I can see 13 Beaches, Change and Tomorrow Never Came as songs which would have fitted with NFR tracklist as well. Like to me it feels like she just changed the concept for LFL so much and drifted into that ’casual cool introspective sad beach girl shit’ that NFR ended up being about. Not sure if this is unpopular though or if the fandom has accepted it but to me LFL ended up an unfinished mess...
