Did I just read "scream"?

Am I the only one turned on by her arrogance?

Lana acknowledge your peak challenge

How many versions of me does she know?

I just found out that Andy Warhol was a co-founder of this magazine

It's confirmed...

The new songs...The new videos...

I don't wanna play your video game

I've seen a lot of people basically saying that Norman is the product of a compromise made by Lana to earn more respect. Also, her Question of the Culture was supposedly an indication for her frustration with her work becoming a stripped-down version of her true feelings. It would actually make me sad if this is the case bc I loved everything about Norman and how it was almost her antithesis to Ultraviolence. Although I obviously love her previous work too, especially Ultraviolence, Norman is genuinly a breath of fresh air for me. Also, Violet is almost the spiritual sister to Norman and I would assume that at least her poetry is 100% her true self bc no one can put pressure on her about it. But then, she probably wants to be respected as a writer in general. The thing that gave me a hint of what might be going on was her being forced to distance herself from the song UV and Cola. I hate those interviewers for being like "Do you feel comfortable still singing about it?" There is only one way you can answer this when you just want the interviewer to shut up about it. Also, she was asked about her happiness in interviews all the time. I imagine all of this was incredibly annoying. When someone tells me that I can't do something bc it is unconventional I want to do it even more and I think a lot of people think like that. I assume that when you get older your perspective on things can change and I believe she was in a different place in 2018 when she wrote Norman than before. It just seemed very authentic to me, especially because she finished LFL with Change and Get Free. It is possible that she only started missing her old days this year during quarantine (indicated by her ig posts) when she had time to reflect on her career and on last year. At least, I hope she didn't consciously censor herself to please others. Anyways, these are just some thoughts on it and I'm really curious how she continues her journey. So far all her albums are distinct from each other so I don't want BTD 2.0 and I don't think that's what she has planned. It seems more and more likely that she puts out an album of covers or older unreleased songs after cocc Feel free to disagree and share your thots.

Happy Birthday, Norman! Thank you for being a cool companion over the course of last year.

Somebody commented "she's drunk lol"

Who can blame him, honestly

So am I the only one who thinks her card eating is hot?

Florida Kilos

Yup, this is the one. Every single word is so personal... even the title

Sultry dancing for sure. I was referring to the setup. Cherries & wine, rosemary & thyme, rose garden dreams, black beaches... it always brings me to that scenery.

I would have loved a music video for Cherry with the 1971 mood of the "Hilltop" Coke commercial and the Some Velvet Morning mv Some Velvet Morning mv: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb-SVPJM4L4

Is it the end of an era? Is it the end of Lanaboards? No, it's only the beginnin'

This is so heartbreaking. I probably shouldn't say anything... but the profile of the tagged person is weirding me out so much somehow idk

So are we getting an instagram live soon..?

Yes it totally makes sense. Based on her writing in general, she's drawn to flawed characters. There is great beauty in offering herself to a broken man when she knows that it could be a sacrifice for her and that she might get hurt by him. She's also definitely aware of a broken man's softness and that might be what she's ultimately longing for.

Aaaagh it's so good. Lyrically it's seems like a darker version of Mariners Apartment Complex. Can't waitt 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
