it turned a melancholy song that discusses the trade-offs of a ferocious work ethic and being emotionally fulfilled with some self-celebratory song that has no connection between the verses and the chorus tbh. I hope we don't see anymore mentions of "bathing suits" on LDR10

FKA Twigs saying "no new music for a while" is like NASA saying "there are stars in the sky". Duh. DUHHHHHHH

with your uncle

Oh right you're the one who's uncle is Rick's barista, right?

Mine's for February but I am not sure if I can even go, bc I was supposed to go on a vacation then...

NO I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT THE ACTUAL OPENING NIGHT BUT IT GOT CANCELLED SO I'M HAVING MY COUSIN RECORD IT 😭😭

She remains mother

I keep liking ppls posts here to see if mine still works lmao

Not at all underrated but her voice breaking and the way she says “but I’m so happy, so happy now you’re gone” in the final pre-chorus of “Cruel World”

The electric guitar in “Heroin’s” second pre-chorus/chorus that kicks in after the line “like the heavy metal that you hear.”

Give me a call if you ever get lonely I'll be like one of your girls or your homies

He's so beautiful are you kidding me i'd give a kidney to look like that

absolutely love the rest. Some really wonderful lyrics You took a rich man's dream And brought it with you on your way down You took it from me, but I would've given it to you I see why these songs didn't make the cut for the record but they're a wonderful 4 track collection.

worked for me, but i had to quit and restart the browser--not just reload like chrome suggested

In my understanding of this song, it has always represented the themes of financial and creative freedom. I believe Lana wrote this song at a point when she realized she would never have to compromise her artistic vision for financial gain, thus becoming entirely autonomous in her creative endeavors. I perceive the first verse as an embodiment of this concept. Lana is symbolically transitioning from the "ordinary world" where people conform to their jobs for a paycheck, into the "reveal of her heart" – the realm where she can be the artist and person she truly desires to be without financial constraints. The lines "Undoubtedly/That will for certain/take the dead out of the sea/And the darkness from the arts" appear to address how this newfound artistic freedom may distance her from more casual fans ("the dead out of the sea") and "the darkness from the arts" dismisses allegations that her work is a product of industry manipulation (reminiscent of "sewing Frankenstein-ed black dreams into my songs" in 'Grandfather,' which also explores these themes). The chorus seems self-explanatory, but the line "Gone is the burden of the Crowley way of being" in the second verse is particularly intriguing. Aleister Crowley was the founder of the occultist religion called Thelema, emphasizing the pursuit of one's true (pre-determined) purpose in life. When Lana mentions being "free of that burden," I interpret it as her liberation from the quest for a singular life purpose, enabling her to create, live, and find happiness – something that isn't always highly regarded in our contemporary societal structures, where you are expected to constantly be working towards something bigger and better than before. I've often seen Lana as something of a hedonist, and I believe this line also alludes to that aspect of her persona. Just my late night ramblings

Omg I know I just went but April 5, 2019 was the day I got an internship I really badly wanted and everybody told me I did not have a chance at

Bro took that personally.

personally I wanna see Morgan Wallen cry. Not even at the Grammy's, like just, in my living room or something.

actually, a nomination would be a nomination. A win is a win. She deserves an actual win, not the equivalent of a participation trophy.

I understand what you mean, but I could never imagine Lana creating a record with a main intention being "concert-friendly". She sees herself as a poet first, as a singer second, and as a performer third, in my belief.
