  1. There are a lot of them, but the text that has particularly marked me in recent months is that of Black beauty. I really like when she says she paints everything black, it's beautiful but very sad, it's a nice definition of depression in my opinion (but I don't remember Lana's meaning anymore). I can see an old house by the sea, an old interior with old chairs from flea markets, little sun, and a cold raging sea of the North Sea overlooked by a melancholy sun that only comes in the evening. Don't go out, live with memories.
  2. Lisa Marie Presley was an icon and a remnant of Elvis. I know she lost her son in a horrible way, I think she lost her soul then, and her heart broke. I lost my sweet mom in December suddenly from 2 heart attacks. My life has since stopped. I feel like I'm still in those shitty years where deaths follow and follow one another like in 2015 and 2016... My mom was a fan of those old iconic singers like Elvis and especially Michael Jackson, she would have been shocked at this news if she would still be around. Still upset by this disappearance, RIP Lisa Marie.
  3. Thanks to those who translated.
  4. It's awful, I feel bad for her, poor thing. It was obvious that it was going to get worse. A gear set in from the start: the fans leaked his music, they like it, they want more, nobody can do anything, it continues, then they discover how to win money with, they earn, they sell, they bait, they attract... and now Lana Del Rey has become a speculation on its own, a gear and a team that has slept quite a bit on its security.. She doesn't deserve this, it's frustrating to see something not released or announced circulating, years of work screwed up. She should start EVERYTHING in terms of her security, seriously. - She should absolutely avoid ALL backups on the phone, it is the most hacked object. Very risky to put her music on a simple cloud, iCloud has plenty of security flaws that allow hacking, especially since she has been the most stolen musician for 10 years. - She should consult computer experts so that they can create ultra-secure tailor-made software to place her music on and transfer it, she has the money, the security of her art depends on it. - I think she has a safe, but if she doesn't she should so that her things are safe. - She is an artist who should avoid the whole digital age. It's sad but we have to go back to basics: old dictaphone to record, blank books and pens to write, find techniques to make it super discreet and objects that cannot be hacked, the camcorders were good... - Share less in the sense that she should be careful not to show too much where she is going and where she is. - A police/close security is absolutely necessary, watching her house seems really important to me. The party is over, she has reached a point of no return. all the leakers (and even if we all took advantage of it because his music is really good) must be prosecuted.
  5. Admittedly, it will be interesting to see how this all unfolds, and what Lana will get out of this collaboration. Indeed, I think their debut (folk country) featuring would have been interesting.
  6. It's true that I haven't heard anything from Taylor, I'm judging because she doesn't inspire me, but maybe her last records (rather praised by the press and fans) are good and more accomplished. To do with Lana, I agree with your message.
  7. She's an artist who's pretty real about who she is and what she thinks, I don't think it's homophobia but I think she doesn't care. People of her generation are less connected to these things and all of this has to go over her head. I understand it in the sense that artists should stay away from that, stay neutral and not position themselves. She makes music, she puts it there, those who want to listen, those who don't want to don't listen, regardless of origins, budget or sexuality, music is universal and does not choose. Gays fans came to her on their own, she didn't look for them, unlike Gaga, for example, who claims to represent them in all her art. Lana just doesn't care and loves everyone, from my point of view. For the Church it's a bit the same thing, she's having a good time and that's it.
  8. Hot reaction Like you, I love Lana alone most of the time. But sometimes her collaborations when they are well chosen can give (very) good songs. And yes, she has a particular voice that is difficult to mix, and it's a shame to spoil it
  9. Don't kill me but fuck I don't like Taylor, and I don't understand this collaboration . It doesn't make sense unless Lana wants more success. Taylor is bland and uninspiring. I'm not thrilled, I hope it won't drag her down musically. I miss the time when Lana worked with interesting musicians, and I put The Weeknd in the pile. The 2 were commercially interesting with close universes. Taylor is nothingness, nothing happens. She can do better . I would still listen to the title because after all they may surprise me but I don't expect anything. This is my opinion, don't take it as an offense because I respect your choices. You guys are lucky, your time is finally coming, you must be so happy. I would have liked a duet between her and Marina. But business and business.
  10. I answer it anyway: You are right in the end. But I sincerely think that the countries should not have taken sides, that's why I say that they should have given priority to helping the reconstruction of families abroad to offer them what they need and that they feel better than continuing to put money and men into this war. And then what to do? It's delicate. Europe took the risk of dragging all its people into this collapse, they shouldn't have. They could temper. Putin was already talking about this war in 2005 but no one listened or took his words seriously and it continues... It's too late, the war is too well started. I know it's for shit (oil, materials...) but Ukraine should have been preparing for a very long time already, if only to protect their people. Not all Russians are pro Putin either.
  11. Nice analysis, it's true that her songs are deep and each relationship marks her a lot. We really don't know much.
  12. Shit, it's starting again. Once again unfortunately I'm not at all surprised, Lana is too nice a person with a lot of empathy. She is close to people, close in networks, she likes human contact and I don't think she wants to hurt anyone because she puts herself in everyone's shoes and knows that her music saves lives. We feel that she doesn't know what to do and her kindness takes over, she might be angry if something happens to her, and at the same time she is afraid for her safety. I agree with your comments, I know she likes simplicity and proximity but she must immediately take drastic measures for her safety and even if she wants to remain "normal" and "free", she must 'she hires people to watch her house, her car, that she gives the maximum at this level. Yeah I'm scared for her and I feel that things are accelerating negatively, she has obsessive and crazy fans, fortunately she is well surrounded but LA, although it is the city of her inspirations, of her dreams, of her life, is no longer a city for her, she is too well known. Unless she lives in an ultra closed and autement secure residence - which she will not want knowing her - it will be more and more complicated for her to be quiet. It's sad because she seemed to have found a piece of paradise. As for this guy, he has certainly found in Lana his "mom", his refuge in her music and he clings to it. But he, unlike normal fans, has already gone too far, at this level he should forcibly follow therapy, he risks ending up like Ricardo Lopez as he is sick and scary. It's crazy that there hasn't been a warrant for his arrest in a while, poor Lana.
  13. I wondered for a long time how she could go from one guy to another, I mean I don't feel like she attaches much to people. She takes a guy, lives with him, leaves him a few months later, takes another one a month later... She's not sad and quickly moves on. I don't know how she does it lol
  14. I thought the same thing. It's obvious that she was forced to lose weight because it's not her natural build, hard to see at first because we didn't know her. And then in 2012-2013 when she wore short skirts/dresses you could see that she had "big" thighs, a build that is on thicker people when they lose weight. She was really sublime but I think she had to go on a diet, she had an image to follow like the new stars on the market, she had this image to keep. That's why she doesn't really like the Born to die moment, because she wasn't free on her own. Now we can see how she is free and no longer deprives herself.

    Björk

    Glad to see you got over that , I know how much it destroys lives when it's strong. We quickly become addicted to music and we can quickly forget that it can cause damage. irreversible. I do the same, I listen a lot less with headphones and it's better not to make things worse.
  16. This war is complex. Russia and Ukraine are not European and have never functioned as such, I think that Europe and the rest of the world should not have interfered in all this, remained neutral and helped families in difficulty only. Not smart of Europe to send billions of euros to Zelensky, then guns to anger Putin, look for him and then complain. We are paying for the consequences of this war (price hikes, little electricity this winter, damage to infrastructure, schools closed because of electricity, etc.) but they don't care. I mean, Europe is at rock bottom. These shitty leaders have never wanted peace and are endangering their people. They prefer to set fire and blood to their countries rather than finding a less selfish solution and asking the opinion of the people because yes, we don't want this war. Putin has regressed in his politics but Zelensky is a fraud, a beggar 2.0 who asks for money and cries when he has none. If he was a real leader he would have stopped this war and given his billions to families so that they can rebuild themselves abroad, no, he continues to drag us into his bullshit until the day Putin stops laughing and presses the button that will trigger a real world war, what a loser.
  17. Guess these are Lana's performances, so let's go At the time someone had uploaded this video in good quality, unfortunately it became untraceable and it remains only this live in poor quality. Beyond this show and the awful hosts, this is my favorite performance of Lana, the first time I heard her singing Ride. The atmosphere was intimate and her dress is adorable. I can't believe a live DVD was made and never saw the light of day. She is absolutely perfect, West Coast is very well interpreted. She is everything. The dress, the memorable location, her voice at best, a favorite. I hope to see more of this concert in professional quality one day. Cola's intro is iconic. Lana who arrives slowly and begins to sing. The screaming crowd. How many times have I watched this, other videos have since disappeared. The live orchestrations are really good. There are so many others but I would remember those of the Paradise Tour a lot, the baroque decor, the voice, the appearance of Lana and the songs, everything was masterful. She seemed shy, even almost uncomfortable at times, it gave an adorable atmosphere. The Planeta Terra is the one that had the most impact on me at that time too. Her lyrical flights. This one is beautiful too. I love her dress, her Ultraviolence make-up but the performance itself is fragile despite the huge festival. She seemed upset. She has a special place in my heart. I would add the songs she rarely sings, it has its little effect: - Shade of cool - Salvatore (even if it's only a small excerpt) - Old money - Brooklyn baby Less a fan of her recent performances, even if she has improved a lot in terms of singing and stress, I miss these more baroque periods, broken lolita. Good taste! I live for this live too, it's perfect.
  18. Elizabeth II was the last big monument of the English and world monarchy, she was a bit the last "old" to be directly linked to the ancient kings and her disappearance shows us how much humans can have everything in life but they don't will never be strong in the face of death. It's sad that she left and I understand the English who mourn her because they are losing a "mom", a protector of the country. But personally I never liked this family, afterwards I am not English so I am not exactly affected by this loss. I can't stand the dramas and superficiality all around them. Even if it is "beautiful" and vintage, monarchy of this type should definitely end, and I think this ceremony will be indecent in the eyes of all because inflation is eating away at us every day and people are getting poorer while suffering a lot. The English will have to pay with their own money... Like all very affluent families, there are always secrets, bizarre stories, they are not clean. I put them side by side with the Rothschild family, it's the same delirium. They are not rich for nothing. They had to exploit people to get there, and pedophilia and other crap... She knew a lot about it and had a lot of staff to carry out her desires. That said, I think a lot about Lady Di tonight who will find the one who tormented her in part.
  19. It is true that NFR! didn't deserve all the hype in my opinion but I'm glad it happened, even if his first albums would have deserved this direct recognition. Her ideas aren't bad but I mean her latest projects are weak because she probably thinks her ideas can outperform some producers, she still needs some help. She's not bad at all.
  20. I'm disappointed to see Jack still working with her. In fact with hindsight, I realize that he's not a bad producer (I can't believe he produced Florence's last album which is a perfection and so many others), but in fact he dares not say no to everything Lana wants. The former collaborator(s) clearly told her the best musical direction to take, Jack is too close to upset her and it gives people weakness because she thinks she has very good ideas. There is food and drink, but since NFR! it's a bit of a descent. And the piano videos don't enchant me too much...

    Björk

    Shit I'm sorry about the tinnitus. Bjork's music is really aggressive if you listen to it for a long time and live I'm not surprised that it does damage without protection. The same thing happened to me with Faceshopping by Sophie, they left after 6 months of hell and I never listened to this song or the artist again. I wish you to get better and that you can find the pleasure of listening to music.

    Björk

    It looks like a continuation of Biophilia in the rhythm I like. The visuals, the sets are magnificent and Bjork, despite her ever-increasing extravagance, is sublime. But I understand those who don't like it because it's been quite repetitive and hard on the ear for a few eras and there are few surprises. Too much experimental kills the experimental. I hope she will let this album breathe a little with lighter titles after the compact (not to say indigestible, Utopia). She announced a dancing and clubbing album, I must dream but I expect a slightly more generic record.
  23. Exactly, she is talented and her videos express a lot, they could be official music videos. Glad you like it too

    Björk

    Bjork is a fantastic, incredible artist. I appreciate her career because she hasn't released easy-to-access, mainstream projects. I would not have been surprised if the public would not have followed but it is, and people understand how much there is a huge job beyond each album. I didn't like Bjork for a long time because I didn't understand her success, and why she was coming back so much in the rankings among the best artists in the world. I did not understand his universe. I dug and then I dropped before giving a chance to Biophilia that I downloaded (its cover intrigued me). It's a bit unpopular but Biophilia remains her most fascinating album. When it came out (I discovered Bjork at that time), I was impressed by the whole concept behind it: the applications, the instruments created for the occasion, the costumes, the museums, and the reworked and revised nature in a melodic way. I often listened to it when I was stressed and felt closer to nature than ever. It was a very interesting concept. And then I discovered the rest which really impressed me. Isobel, So broken, Bachelorette, Charlene, Stronemilker, and then Pagan Poetry... The B-sides are also magnificent. She has made such advanced albums, she herself becomes her own music in aesthetics. So much to say about her. Utopia was a good album, but I was a little less attentive to that, I didn't really like the visuals. The next one is going to be very interesting for sure. There are no 2 Bjork, and it's so cool to see so many people loving and respecting her (especially this forum)
  25. Unpopular opinion but I hate the Tiktok platform with all my soul, and I don't like this way of making Lana "popular", in fact I think she deserves better. Channels like "Mermaid Motel" do it more justice than short videos. I recognize that it helps to highlight very good songs that haven't had much success in the past (Alexis Jordan - Happiness for example). For Lana I really liked this little secret garden side that only the fans knew about, you see the demos, the little known versions, the secret channels... And now everything is known and displayed on stupid videos. But that's how it is, I understand the concept, it's positive for her I guess because she has everything to gain from it.
