I don’t know what to believe but I do know this record is going to be my new favorite

That for some reason makes me think of the Cult Leader jacket Lana wore a couple of months ago. 

 

Did @DragonWhore say this record was HM x UV or was that someone else

when lana said “waist deep in icy waves” she was giving us an easter egg for the snowonthebeach-ification of LDR9. Her mind

we won today

I just opened the thread to the best news after weeks of thinking this would be one of her shortest records

(also unrelated but that gif makes me audibly laugh every time I see it & I don’t know why lol)

I am always in awe at how great you are at delivering specific moods and aesthetics with really subtle but deliberate artistic choices.

Your new work looks great!!

I’m so glad even one person enjoyed the quiz

If anyone has ideas for another quiz (or would like to see the ones below), please let me know! 
 

Here are some ideas I have floating around:

•Which 2 tracks from Lana Del Rey’s Honeymoon are you?

•Which Lana Del Rey songs tell the story of your life?

•Which 2 songs from Lana Del Rey’s Honeymoon and Ultraviolence are you?

•Which song covered by Lana Del Rey are you?

I also got Well of Thought

I wonder which track has the 808s….

I suppose we’re all thinking & remembering today

Like Real name or Username?

Either is fine (or you can just enter a keyboard smash lol) I’m not sure why they require it tbh

I just added TUOB to the personality quiz I made if anyone’s interested

Hey everyone! I made a new personality quiz, so feel free to post your results with any feedback below!  
 

This quiz is much shorter than what I usually do because I’m a little burnt out from school, but hopefully someone enjoys it!

This might make sense with Tommy and why someone put “female rapper” in quotation marks—maybe it won’t include rap?

Harry Nilsson has a song..

I wonder which collabs (if any) will be released as singles. I could totally see the Tommy Genesis one being a fun little treat 

When “just lipgloss” is a lyric in the Tommy Genesis collab

I started choking from laughing at this HELP

On a personal note, I (and likely so many others reading this) have felt so caught up in the fast currents of life and feeling like I’m on this never-ending path of climbing a ladder that only has more rungs, that I’m just like, God! When’s it gonna be my turn? 

This is exactly the lyric that got to me—your mind

Also I shouldn’t be embarrassed to admit this but I actually cried listening to the title track & I never do, much less with a song I don’t identify a ton with???

Maybe it’s just end-of-the-semester stress, but the song is just so raw. The vulnerability is palpable, and comparing herself to a forgotten tunnel in a world where millions feel they understand her is heartbreaking, really. It almost has an existential undertone like that of Landslide as well. 
 

It really goes to show how much she’s grown as an artist by being able to move people with fairly obscure, highly individualized life experiences in a—by many current literary standards—successful poetic fashion. 
 

I genuinely believe she’s making the music that fulfills her, and it’s really inspiring seeing how her old covers of tracks like Chelsea Hotel No. 2, Goodbye Kiss, etc. are reflected in her music today.

I don’t know if this makes sense to anyone else (or if it’s been mentioned already), but I almost feel like TUOB is probably the MAC of the record, and I think that has really neat implications for the rest of LDR9. 
 

In my opinion, they both have a very timeless quality and include vulnerable declarations about her inner self and personal commitments. Though I never got a ton of replay from MAC, I still think it’s a lovely song with gorgeous lyrics with an almost spiritual undertone.
 

Neither songs feel particularly showy to me, yet they don’t really need to be—they feel like conversations that come from a quiet, yearning place, and I think the production suits this spiritual quality. 
 

I don’t see myself returning to the title track a ton, but that’s mostly because it doesn’t resonate with me currently despite me thinking it’s some of her best lyricism. Although I was hoping for a noticeable change sonically for this song specifically (just a personal preference tbh), I still think it’s one of her best in a while! 

Does anyone have book recommendations for me?

-I like high fantasy books that at are really immersive and have a magic element—the longer the better! I’m not a huge fan of super dark themes, though  

-I really enjoy more psychologically and emotionally relevant books as well (The Bell Jar, Girl Interrupted, etc.)

I love a good poetry collection too. However, I’m open to other suggestions as well!

OMG I just realized I can add TUOB to my LDR Song Combination personality quiz and post this week!!!
 

I’ll also probably make a separate quiz for the entire record in March when the whole thing drops! 
 

Hopefully she’ll sprinkle some singles in between now and then

I’m assuming no one’s confirmed or denied the possibility of an album trailer? 

I can’t tell whether The Grants will be a devastating and confessional track, a sweet tune for her family, or a fun addition that has some wacky elements (maybe lyrically or production-wise) to represent the different members of her family…much to think about
