I really hope prototype means there will be few more weeks until it comes. If it really comes out, ok, I will be able to afford it luckily, but I surely would prefer some time for my bank account to relax. And I am afraid a lot of people will have to miss out due to money reasons because of that current merch drip drop overload.
if I actually get the necklace back after I sold it in 2020 I’m gonna be the happiest person ever she said “prototype” though do you think it will be slightly different? Also it’s probably a matter of weeks or months before we get it but the necklace with album bundles for release week would be a good move
Okay everyone i TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM and attempted to transcribe the Judah Smith Interlude and here you go
feel free to attempt to fill in my missing parts/correct anything
Lana Del Rey behind the scenes of her Rolling Stone UK cover shoot
I mean, what can I say? There's poetry in everything. Everyone's a poet. Everyone's an artist.
Hi, I'm (laughs)
We're going to do this eleven times, you ready?
Hey, I'm Lana! (laughs) We're gonna use all of these.
Hey, I'm Lana Del Rey and we are on the set of my Rolling Stone UK cover shoot.
Lana Del Rey on Kintsugi
Kintsugi I started writing naturally when my sister and my dad and I were at my great uncle Dick's hospice in Manhattan Beach with all 50 of the Grant members. Kintsugi is the art of filling broken pottery with liquid gold in the hopes of making it even more beautiful than it was before. I almost don't even need to explain that metaphor, the idea of falling apart and rebuilding one's life back up even more beautifully, but I wasn't really going for a metaphor when I wrote it. I was actually talking about my uncle because he's a poet of 9 books, and inventor, and a very interesting self-described anarchist. Because he had been in my garden two years before, he passed with my grandmother who was in my garden with him two years before she passed at 92 as well. He had been reading this poem that we have filmed called "Holding Back the Night," so to go from "Holding Back the Night" in my backyard to being around his bed with all 16 of my family members singing in 14-part harmonies, I just thought to myself, "Oh my god, like, I always thought I sang just to get out of my small town" and then I realised that has nothing to do with it, and then somehow I went from talking about family to, you know, people I'm dating, to talking to my dad like that I miss them, and then I think it ends with the line "let the light shine in." I think I say that a few times in the record.
Lana Del Rey on the most important lesson she's learnt through her work
Sometimes there is no lesson. In the stories, like, in the things that we go through, I'm always looking for what's the lesson. Sometimes it's nothing. Other than, I would say to not repeat that mistake again, but I generally do, and for that reason I'm like there's still not a lesson. I would say there is a lesson in saying no and staying vigilant about keeping the wrong things out as opposed to being too open.
Lana Del Rey on the minutia of everyday life
I think everything that I write comes out of the minutia. I can't remember the last time I wrote something from like a Birdseye view perspective. Why I think it's important to sort of stay vigilant about like keeping the peace around my own heart is because every time I come to a stoplight at like a different corner of where I'm living or staying, I want to feel present in that moment and like be present enough to look around and think about like how beautiful that building is or whatever. When I'm distracted by like, you know, things I've let affect me, I don't notice anything. It would be like being here and being excited that I'm here but not, you know, being able to like actually know that it's not even, it's about the shoot but it's also bigger than that. It's like about being together, and I really think that's also what is making the music good if it's good in any capacity. It's like the idea that it's nothing in the music is really about me. It's always all about the people around me, and I think the funny thing is like you learn the most about somebody through seeing them interact with other people.
