lovely, sweet song, and i love the cover image for the single. hope phoenix grows up and writes a beautiful memoir about growing up in the grant coven.

I'm dying at this interview lmao:
 
XCX: [...] I call the paparazzi on myself. I know I do that. [...] When I stay at the Bowery Hotel in New York, I say to my boyfriend, “When we are leaving, don’t talk to me because I can’t be mid-talk in a photo.” [...] I’m looking down with glasses on. I’m like, “Let’s go.” 

Icon behavior.
 

I’ve got a war in my mind karmic lineage 
 
also love reading these interviews I’m so glad she’s been doing more now <3

omgg.. thank the lanaboards!! i was wondering if i’d ever find this article without a paywall.. i’m too broke after all the lana merch i bought this year. 😭😭😭
 
edit: i just finished the article after commenting.. but woww.. this is such a wonderful article. she seems so much more confident in herself and her ability. the last paragraph really spoke to me and makes me so happy to know that she’s so excited to keep moving forward. 🥹💕
 
"Because there is more to explore. I know people who've tested every water. It's burnt them, like Icarus. But I'm willing to go there. I see it coming for me. We'll see." She is speaking quickly now, excitedly. "We'll see what melts the wings."

It seems she's been interested in Greek mythology & poetry lately and has applied the stories as metaphors for her own life. Here, by referencing Icarus and his wax wings that melted by flying too close to the sun. Earlier this year, she attended a reading of Ulysses which was inspired by The Odyssey, and after hearing the reading she wrote a message in a guestbook that suggested that the book's final line featuring the repetition of the word "yes" was how she attempted to live her own life which left her feeling dissatisfied. Even in Fingertips she writes, "They say there's irony in the music, it's a tragedy, I see nothing Greek in it" & “Call me Aphrodite as they bow down to me”
I'm interested to see how Greek mythology & poetry influence her upcoming work too x

I hate to wax poetic, but as someone who distinctly remembers having to defend her to my peers in the 8th grade, back in 2012/13, and how she was the punchline of many media-outlets—it makes me uniquely emotional seeing the praise and the deep-rooted respect she is given now in 2023. Seeing headlines like “Lana Del Rey forgives us” and reading articles like this tell me what I always knew about her, and in a way, they validate the little boy who was made fun of for liking her and who felt the need to hide who he really was. Maybe one day I’ll forgive them too 

i feel like when she said things would be simpler she meant with the subject matter. the last two albums featured some of her most personal songs to date and she had never explored some of the topics on ocean before - maybe slight teases on blue banisters. this album was monumental for many reasons and one of them was the story it told. i'm so proud of her like this was the closest she could challenge norman and I KNOW she has it in her to decimate nfr! 
 
about the standards... well lana does have her own standards but yeah guess we might be getting the covers album after all 

It's giving fig tree~

she probably feels like she's coming up to a point in her life where she'll have to choose between motherhood or experiencing as much as possible
and it sounds like she's going for the latter

this honestly would have been a perfect announcement for the covers album if it was coming this year

The ending part about not having kids yet was interesting. She was slightly hard to follow there, but it sounds like she might be coming around to accepting that she doesn’t feel it’s possible for her because she’s living an artist’s life?

If “keeping it simple” means in a Hollywood Bowl, Lost at sea, Life lessons, and suburban house way, we don’t want it 

Yesss! I was always confused on the meaning of that particular couple of lines “clutch of the wrist…” and this puts it all into perspective. I know she doesn’t want to talk about the meaning behind her songs or lyrics but I’d die to get all the backstories and little details that inspired her music throughout her career. 
 
sidenote: I love how cheeky she got when she asked the interviewer about asking her messy questions like if she was married, she’s very playful!
