We got all first tracks first. Only Cruel World and NFR were an exception.

When the Beach Boys were working on Pet Sounds, their label needed an album out for the holidays, but Brian Wilson refused to rush his masterpiece, so they had to quickly put together something else. So they recorded an unplugged cover album, then brought some friends in to record talking and giggling and stuff to add to the tracks, took some pictures playing at the beach, and quickly put together “Beach Boys Party!” in time for the holidays. When Lana first mentioned the idea of “Pacific Blue”, I had brought up how I wished Lana would do something like what The Beach Boys did, but that she probably wouldn’t..... I just remembered that now and realized that now she’s doing exactly that...... freaky

OMG!!!
 

OMG!!!
 

Here's the post embedded! The song is a cover of "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Gerry and The Pacemakers.
For anyone who tried to say she couldn't hit high notes anymore.. whew, she just proved you wrong. Cola teas are back x
 

OMG!!!
 

OMG!!!
 

For the new doc about Liverpool! Vocals are out of this world! <3

How are the reviews looking? I'm really nervous after the acclaimed NFR 

as much as i do want big visuals for this era, we already know that's coming for the title track - so im cool with a homemade video for this track since the video hasn't been majorly teased or anything, its just a bonus  

Now that LMLYLAW is officially out in most of the world and east coast USA, it is time to start our streaming party!  All you have to do is add the song to a playlist and play it on repeat while you sleep. You can play the song with headphones on low volume so the plays get counted. Hope you all will join me, Lana needs our support.

Yall I just listened with headphones for the first time and wow. Its truly an experience. The reverb on her backing vocals when she sings “Let me love you like a woman” and then the clean fronting vocals on “let me hold you like a baby” is so good. And the drum, so simply, yet such a small impact that the song doesn’t sound or feel empty. I bet this is the second to last song on the record leading into something else before the end of the album. Ughhhhhhhhhh so fucking good I love it

Let me be who I'm meant to be
 
It's beautiful! I love the vocal layering, and the bridge & the final lines are the highlights of the song. Miss Del Rey with her stunning bridges is back!! x

I, for one, love the lyrics and the story-telling format they follow, kinda reminds me to a lot of 60s and 70s artists and their lyrical structure (Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Simon and Garfunkel...) 

Eeeep it's out!! Having my first listen

I don't think these two contradict each other at all. She's even saying how she's not forcing him to follow him out of LA ("I think I'd manage"), and I interpret the "I need you to come/want you to come" as her telling him she wants him to come but she'll manage without, and her inner dialogue saying she needs him but she's not going to pressure him. It's quite a comforting song imo, she's in love with him and needs him but she won't pressure him or force him to do anything.
 
BTD era would have her singing about how she'd literally die without him and she needs him to stay with her, now she's feeling the same but she doesn't tell him that because she's loving him like a woman, not a young girl.

Well that was quick

She was definitely being sarcastic and I think that's the theme of this era, how we're pretending everything's fine when the world is falling apart type of vibe

“Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes.“

No one is happy all the time. I can be super happy one day and then super angsty the next. I can go through four of the cycles in a single day. Lana's just human. Sometimes she's happy, sometimes she's not. That's just life. And even still, she can go out with friends even if she's not at her "happiest". In regards to Violet, as a writer myself, I write about so many things: current feelings, past feelings, the feelings of others, etc. Just because she didn't seem "happy" in Violet doesn't mean that's any indication of her current state, it doesn't even 100% guarantee that was her state at the time of writing either. Just my two cents. Lana's just human and we see her humanity more now. 

I wanna be Lana’s cat so bad so she can call me “difficult child” ?

Fans: discussing which song snippet will play in the playground of bts video
bts video: *sound of Lana's passive aggressive typewriting*

Wooooohhh!!! Ok just watched the video. Fuckin icon she is, I mean just stupendous. Her presence, her manipulation, performance as life and vice versa. Loved the piano too; the very end, the question of madness, exceptional. But like, i...no i need to hold fast, this shit is coming in September. Me, crazy? No, no of course not, I mean look we're on lanaboards for the 197th day straight, thats not, crazy. No I'm normal. (LORD does she enjoy reminding us why we stan)

of course this gets released the one hour i’m busy at work. this is top tier crazy but very interesting. i do believe she’s 100% being satirical
 
the look on her eyes when she says “crazy!? me!? no” is absolutely bonkers LMAO 
 
she’s definitely playing up a character! right after she says “it’s not like i’ve been in a facility for 90 days already. not MY story” Did nobody catch that? 

"they say that madness swings to genius" is a quote that i really like and it stuck with me, i really hope she explores that concept on the album / or perhaps on ldr8, i feel like this is a new era for her artistry entirely and i think she's in a very positive, creative spot right now!
