Phenomena

so anxious and exciteddd. heres a pic from when i first saw her in 2014 at merriweather. 

tbh i really like it. i love seeing her try new styles.
i was only able to watch this last bit of the show but crowd sounds good tonight!

I love how much they've been changing up her hair style this year. She may have a tiny head but she werks it

that hairstyle looks good on her

apparently it's backwards but idk if she got it changed

Never worry about specific details like that straight from Lana - she is never precise. It could mean three years and could mean thirteen.

omw to see Saw X and realised there isnt a saw thread so here we are 
 
i love the saw movies because they’re funny more than anything. the first few are great and i’m really hopeful X delivers a good story
 
plus i think the posters always serve:









 
will update later when i leave the cinema 

You're a prophet 

Really mixed. It depends on the venue, section and your perspective. 
 
I’ve been to three shows and had three different experiences. The two smaller venues generally had better crowds, but that’s just my opinion. 
 
Arkansas: The crowd was very tame and wasn’t overly loud. Of the three venues, it probably had the most polite crowd. It’s a small venue and I think the demographic (rural South) may have played a role.
 
Dallas: The crowd was out of control, at times. When the gates opened, people ran, screamed and pushed everyone out of the way. Security had zero control. Once in the seated sections, many (not all) were very rude, loud and disrespectful. Several of the songs felt like screaming kareoke. It was my least favorite of the three crowds. Keep in mind it was a larger venue, in a larger city, and stormy weather may have played a role in riling people up. 
 
Mississippi: The crowd was fairly well behaved, but the security was also very strict. A few people were sneaking into other sections, standing in aisles and vaping, but got kicked out really quick. I posted on Reddit that the crowd seemed polite and respectful, but someone in the pit said it was total chaos in there. I didn’t see that, but then again I’ve never been in the pit because I have low tolerance for pushing and shoving, and I like my personal space. 
 
Other things I noticed at all three shows:
1. Many attendees don’t seem to know a lot of her songs. I’m not sure if it’s age or what (large percentage of the crowds were teenagers) but it’s a little sad when people don’t know the songs. 
2. People show up late, but many people also leave early. I get it, traffic is bad, but last night even Lana made a comment about having to try extra hard because people were leaving early.
3. Going back to #1, a lot of people at these shows seem to be TikTok teens who may not have the incentive to be as attentive or respectful, simply because they may not have listened to her for long and/or they’re just there for a concert experience   As opposed to a Lana experience. 
 
In summary, it depends on venue size/location, personal preference and where you’re sitting. 

Thank you so much. It was such an important day for me and an experience I’ll never forget. Maybe one day we’ll go to a show together! I’ve gone alone each time, but have made some special connections along the way 🖤 It would be a whole new level to go with another fan 🍒
Mostly for sneaking into the wrong section. This one couple was blocking my view, I was in an aisle seat just behind the pit and they were standing right in the aisle at the gate. Karma! Someone else was kicked for vaping. They announced before they let anyone in that you can’t do that. It doesn’t bother me as much as the other stuff, but it’s still annoying. 
I have a few more songs to share! I didn’t want to record the whole show this time. That took away from my experience at Dallas. It gave me the opportunity to take more pictures and most importantly, just enjoy the show. 
I’ll have more pics later, time for the long, but very much worth it, ride back to Oklahoma.

Oof I just realized what the dress reminds me of. We need to see this look on her more often

I mean it's not meant to be about literal chemtrails or a literal country club but it's in reference to the fact that if you peel back the surface of day-to-day suburban bliss and contentment, there's a sinister element, which is also reflected in the MV
In that respect, I think it's a really clever reference. I think the song doesn't get enough credit for its messages and theme, actually.
But not liking it in spite of all of that is your prerogative, of course.

When I heard the song for the first time, the loud ass intro freaked me the fuck out. It's probably one of her most playful instrumental in an uneasy way (obv in a good way). I love how the song gets silent before Lana starts singing "oh baby I'm just human" and then some strange piano like note starts coming with strings.
 
Honeymoon album had honestly her most creative, playful and beautiful instrumentals ever.

thank you for this 

i'm feeling a new dress tonight

ITS THE VOODOO MISSISSIPPI SOUTH 

ITS THE VOODOO MISSISSIPPI SOUTH 

Hope is a dangerous thing to have 
 

People thought she wouldn't do Florida Kilos but she did...Mississippi, if you want it bad enough...

“Betrayal, Betrayal. One gun on the table, headshot if .. you’re able..”
”Let me put on a show for you, daddy.”
“On Monday, they destroy me. But by friday, im revived”
“I’d be lying if i said i wasn’t sick of it.”
“…. I was an angel, looking to get fucked hard.”
 
HER PEN >>>>
 
 

Taco Truck
 
Spin it till you whip it into white cream, baby
Print it into black and white pages, don't faze me
Before you talk, let me stop what you're saying
I know, I know, I know that you hate me
 
A&W
 
I mean, look at my hair, look at the length of it and the shape of my body
If I told you that I was raped, do you really think that anybody would think I didn't ask for it, didn't ask for it?
Won't testify, I already fucked up my story
On top of this (Mmm) so many other things you can't believe
Did you know a singer can still be lookin' like a side piece at thirty-three?
Got a (shh) who turned, don't look back babe
Puts the shower on while he calls me
Sneaks out the back door to talk to me
I'm invisible, look how you hold me
I'm invisible, I'm invisible
I'm a ghost now, look how you hold me now
It's not about having someone to love me, anymore (Huh, okay)
This is the experience of being an american whore
 
Paris, Texas
 
When everyone's star is bright
Brighter than you are
It's time to go
And you're the only one left
Dancin' while they're on the floor
Time to go
 
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing
 
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Or a map to know your vision
Impart on me your wisdom
 
Fingertips 
 
When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by
Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side
I wanted to go out like you, swim with the fishes
That he caught on Rhode Island beaches
But, sometimes, it's just not your time
 
God, this album... 

Chose my favourite parts from one song of each album
 
Pawn Shop Blues:
 
In the name of higher consciousness
I let the best man I knew go
'Cause it's nice to love and be loved
But it's better to know all you can know
 
Summertime Sadness:
 
Think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
 
Ride:
 
Don't break me down
I've been traveling too long
I've been trying too hard
With one pretty song
 
Black Beauty:
 
Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you
 
Freak:
 
We could slow dance to rock music
Kiss while we do it
Talk till we both turn blue
 
Get Free:
 
Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I wanna get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game, or live my own life
And now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black
Into the blue 
 
Mariners Apartment Complex:
 
You lose your way, just take my hand
You're lost at sea, then I'll command your boat to me again
Don't look too far, right where you are, that's where I am
I'm your man
 
White Dress:
 
Summer, summer's almost gone
We were talking about life, we were sitting outside 'til dawn
But I would still go back
If I could do it all again, I'd fly
Because it made me feel, made me feel like a god
 
Wildflower Wildfire:
 
My father never stepped in
When his wife would rage at me
So I ended up awkward but sweet
Later than hospitals and still on my feet
Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry

Oh, see? Look what you done now
Oh, me, that's what I'm talking 'bout
Oh, me, look what you done now
Oh, me, it's what I'm talking' 'bout
It's what I'm talking 'bout
It's what I'm talking about
