This album and the tracks live in my mind rent-free and I couldn't be happier

Ok besties feel free to come for me sorry I had to make that pun But For Free is an underrated track on this album and is a beautiful cover. After analyzing the lyrics and just the song itself, it makes so much sense to have Zella Day and Weyes Blood to be featured on this cover (I will explain why I believe that further in this post). Here is my personal analysis; It is a song about making and playing music just for the sake of it, a true artist doesn't care whether or not it brings them fame or fortune, however, if it does by pure chance, that's okay too and vice-versa. An unknown, true musician, who plays for free and a true musician who does happen to have fame and fortune are not so very different from each-other when it comes to good-willed intentions, they have the same perspective about creating art. I believe the lines "Nobody stopped to hеar him, Though he played so sweet and high, They knew he had never been on the TV, So they passed his music by" is coming from the point of view of a true musician where fame and fortune has found them, and sadly understands that this unknown musician is being ignored just because fame and fortune has not found them (yet), perhaps the famous musician is even longing for the days before they they got famous, ( a theme that has already been explored in this album, which is why I think it is very fitting), they long the days where they just played music for the sake of it, where people literally just passed by I suppose. But, the unknown musician catches the eye of this famous musician who stopped to listen while others just ignored. That is why I think Lana sings the second verse that starts with the line "Now me, I play for fortunes" and ends with "He's been playin' real good for free", this famous musician can see what others cannot, they see just another true, brilliant musician! Now, Zella Day (who I genuinely think is a brilliant musician) sings the first verse, and Weyes Blood, who sings the third and last, are by no doubt beautiful musicians with great talent, and Lana, being the genuine, sublime-minded, beautiful artist that she is, must of came across these two other talented musicians and obviously wanted to collaborate/play together, just for the sake of it (Before the recording of Chemtrails, For Free was first performed alongside these two artists in Lana's concerts, maybe without the intention of it being featured on Chemtrails at first). They are not as big as Lana is (yet) but Lana doesn't care because she is a true artist. Lana has collaborated with some of the greats (Think of Stevie Nicks here as just one example) and other famous artists like A$AP Rocky, The Weekend, and others. But this collaboration makes it very apparent that Lana doesn't just care about the greats or the famous. Due to the themes explored in this album, I actually think For Free fits perfectly at the end. As a musician who just makes art for the sake of it, this was my instant thought hearing the track for the first time and it spoke to me on a deep, personal level. I may be way off with this "analysis" but I just wanted to post this because of how deeply this song speaks to me. Also, thank you Lana for helping me discover the great Joni Mitchell. Edit: Found some tweets between Zella and Lana (Thank you @COCC for sharing!) Also, @Elle please let me vote again I want/need to vote For Free as well

I'm still getting through all the pages on this thread but this album is so fitting for long car trips

THIS SENT ME didn't see it because I didn't listen to the leaks ahhh

Dance Till We Die for best bridge

I don't think so! I live in New Zealand so its been very hard to get a few things but this was an easy purchase

Just ordered one on her universal store and I have no idea how limited it is but its def not sold out, if you do decide to grab one via the universal store don't forget to use the promo code "LDR10OFF"

How many blankets are left? I want it so badly because I go to a lot of random outdoor two day long parties (my partner is a DJ) and EVERYONE has blankets with them at these parties because its New Zealand and freezing lol and I also want people to ask questions so I can educate them, we really need more Lana fans here

Same but for the CD one! Thank you Grandma for being able to read German

I've only been gone for a day and we're already almost at 100 pages, truly iconic if I do say so myself, I've got lots to catch up on

I'm still listening and my ex just messaged me whilst listening to breaking up slowly im... uh.. wtf.. go away

I'm so proud of the virgins, we made it girls, we made it time to update my signature

I just turned 20 white dress hits so hard I WAS ONLY 19

I lost my virginity in the best way possible THIS ALBUM

RUNNING TO THE PC SHOP BEFORE THE RELEASE LMAO PLEASE PRAY FOR ME

I've just moved into a new house and when I tried to turn it on it just went POP and I saw a sparks coming out the back

My PC power source just blew up (literally, im not even joking) so I really hope this album will cheer me up because I might have lost the past four years of my life if it fucked up my hard-drive (it contained my whole Lana "digital" collection from the past 6 years that I never backed up)

Omg, this is a great idea why didn't I think of asking her before like I think she would actually sign up BUT y'all gotta be nice to her, she's the biggest LFL Stan

So I texted my Grandma back and broke the news to her and she said what a let down with some emojis

I think everyone is banking on it coming out at Midnight EST time so just convert that to where you are!

Here is a local (NZ) article about COCC for anyone who cares, its from a while ago it looks like but said some really nice things "As this album is a dignified MAIN event, I need us to be fully prepared." PERIODT. https://umusic.co.nz/select/alternative/preparing-for-lana-del-reys-7th-studio-album-chemtrails-over-the-country-club/

Gramma said she'll leave the lights on for me Gramma said the flags are waving for me Gramma asked me when COCC would be out yet, waiting for me

She does!!! She stole my LFL CD

My Grandma texted me to ask if its out yet how do I break the news to her

THIS SENT ME, LET ME IN!!!!!!
