I didn’t think there would be so much Zella hate on this site Shes really quite talented and a very good songwriter

it was unofficially/illegally uploaded, i believe

ah yes 60USD is about 80CAD lmao rip...hmmmm maybe i will buy then (but will wait till i'm back in the US)

omg yes that one is amazing too! tbh i forget which poems i like often, bc my iBooks audiobook doesnt have the names of the poems, just track numbers (and since its a locked file, I can't rename the tracks... )

I wanted to buy a switch, but then I saw how expensive the games were!? I don't want to waste my money on games that i may not like/will forget about in a matter of weeks? do they go on sale anytime? Are they always $80~

oh my

i really suggest listening to Where Does the Devil Hide? 4/5 tracks are already out. Her last LP was also amazing (but very different sonically)--East of Eden has one of my favourite bridges ever (If I wanted to stay/You don't mind, you're a true believer)

NFR was the only Lana cover I instantly loved tbh

I love the production on Zella's latest EP, can't wait for this. Ive been listening to Zella since i was 13/14 and Sweet Ophelia Came Out

I really didn't notice how beautiful "Never to Heaven" was until I properly read the lyrics. There's something very profound about the lyrics "at least i won't have spent my life waiting / looking for God in the clouds of the dawn"...it's very Christopher Hitchens almost--in that he believed that not only did theism do no good to society, but was a waste of time and held humanity back. but maybe i'm just projecting my own feelings on to it (although, arguably, that's what poetry is for; to find yourself in side of it) omg i just looked at the poll and i cant believe how few votes "Never to Heaven" got! Personally I think "Violet Bent Backwards Over Grass" and "Never to Heaven" are the best poems...with "Sportcruiser" being a close 3rd

It better be Kamala or Warren tbh. Probably Kamala but I would’ve killed for a Warren presidency in 24

when i was reading the lyrics on Genius last night, there were 7 untitled Haikus listed in the tracklist for Violets. Not sure what their source is, though. So we may or may not have 21 of the 30 poems (at least in part)

Imagine if she ever has kids and releases a children’s book of nursery rhymes. I would raise my kids on it like it’s the bible

I wonder if she’s allowed to go back in the studio to finish up the album/shoot some visuals? Tbh I thought she’d have stayed in the Midwest and did some cool shoots. Surprised she’s back so soon unless there was a pressing reason

"If good prose can be poetic, a novel can be 'pure poetry,' and poems can be prosaic, then it’s not clear what anyone is talking about, really. Or rather, it’s clear except to theorists trying to come up with definitions" -T.S. Eliot

poetry is such a broad description of a literary work, no one can really have the authority to say what is or isn't poetry! (also why poetry analysis courses are the easiest english courses to get an A in--total GPA booster)

Another reason why their continent is the best in the world

i assure you its the lens/lighting/trick of the camera...my mother (though about 14 years older than Lana) gets fillers, and while she looks amazing (and perfectly human) in person, on camera she looks weirdly inflated and plastic... Lana has always used her old Hollywood look as a part of her art and stage persona, and she will always be beautiful

i think in general, the word "abuse/abusive" is being thrown around a lot and misused. Just bc Ellen's diva antics may make Portia uncomfortable/embarrassed at times, doesn't mean Ellen is "abusing her wife"; as some outlets chose to report. But for her to go on long, impassioned pleas about "kindness costs nothing" and "a little act of kindness can change someone's day" is ridiculous, knowing what we know now. I hope that Ellen addresses and owns up to her behaviour, and then maybe we can all stop putting entertainers on a moral pedestal.

When the book comes out, and we get the poems that were never recorded—we should make fan made recordings of them!

Sportcruiser makes me feel like I’m sitting on Lanas patio late at night, and she’s telling me this deeply private story...

Not to derail the thread, but I don’t really believe that Ellen is in some sort of child trafficking Epstein ring...its one thing to be a bad boss, a whole other thing to be a mentally deranged/disturbed criminal

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I’ve wondered if I should post more topics about current events here, but I’m still relatively a new member—so idk what the consensus towards non-Lana news/discussion is

I always found her to be a little “off”. Her humour seemed to be best when making fun of people/making her guests uncomfortable. I stopped watching her show on YouTube after she made fun of Saoirse Ronan for (possibly) being a virgin after she told ellen she “doesn’t date”....just something that didn’t sit right. But beyond that, this issue is not all about Ellen and how she treats her guests—and my intention wasn’t to create an “everyone hates ellen thread”. A toxic workplace is a very serious thing, that impacts the personal and professional lives of many who work there adversely.
