Pretty Dull

Oh she re-uploaded for the third time  

the end with the iconic bee comb hairstyle 

I'm obsessed with it indeed 
Visionary artist of the decade for a reason 

her mind is so big thats why she has the beehive

Just think about the song and the video as describing her turbulent relationship with being a Hollywood star. 

the candy necklaces represent the glamour of stardom but also is seen as a “golden handcuff” here.

I think people’s default for Lana sometimes is to assume in her songs that she’s always singing about men but that’s only partially. A lot of the time she’s singing about her struggles with fame and critics.

Altough i love the video just the way it is (especially after hearing Lana explaining the scenes in the middle) - i dont think it's true. We would still have therapy scenes (mouthing the lyrics "feeling super suicidal"), that disturbing old man and Lana feeling uncomfortable and taking off the wig and the final death scene with walk of fame star saying LDR (suggesting that she herself doesn't want to end up like the women she portrays) - and of course the song itself. Seems like a pretty clear story with big impact to me and the moral would be pretty much the same. 
 
Love that she included that BTS scenes tho because it looks like a big F you to the media as she clearly proves her point with not releasing this as a conventional music video. 

This video made me so nostalgic... I don't know why I want to cry. Sad and beautiful at the same time - only Lana Del Rey can do something like that. I loved all the looks soo much, she truly is blessed with beauty (and rage) 
I'm excited to see more of videos from this era.... 

Help why am I living for the discourse and chaos around this song   Candy Necklace you will always be famous

this VEVO shit is too messy. BENNNN WHERE ARE YOU? WE DONT WANT SPLIT VIEWS FOR MVs AGAIN 

I am so tired of ‘fans’ complaining about everything. This music video is more than I could ever ask for. It’s so extremely good 

if this ain't rob screaming "you're doing amazing sweetie" to her... 
 

Lana served, and if you don't get it, I feel sorry for you.
 
my last comment on this thread. 

I fucking love when she gives a song multiple interpretations with visuals it reminds me of when she did it with Shades of Cool...
 
super happy she chose to abstractify the video and stay true to the concept she was talking about in that instagram comment and damn what a fucking concept it is i wanna sit with the video for a few days 
 
we could've ended up with just a pretty video but she chose to give us drama and narrative and a big fuck you to the detractors ugh 
 
i hope the title track gets a music video and PLEASEEE can she link up with BRTHR for a music video for A&W 

Oh this MV is too good she slayed so hard

She was never making overproduced music to begin with. Rich productions yes , but not overproduced . I don't know my friend to me stuff like this don't make the material raw and personal. I will just try to piece the scenes to a short music video and get over with it 

this is what i love most about the video, because while she's referencing specific people, it also seemed like she was referencing her own videos, tying in the idea that she could've ended up like these women.

One of her best videos ever tbh

This is a masterpiece. 
 
The BTS vs the « real footage », just like the empty promesse of a candy necklace, her looks, the old Hollywood vibes, the references to her other MV, plus the black and white imagery that mirrors the first photoshoot of the era AND the album cover… This has got to be one of her best. 

I literally watched this video thinking omg lanaboards are gonna be gagged and was surprised to hear people complaining?? im so confused this was SPECTACULAR 

It’s a thing. Many insiders confirmed it, it’s just that there isn’t a release date yet, just a new 2023 registration. 
 
But god her team is stupid sometimes: they nuked all of the YouTube audios, two weeks ago… for what? Not only they aren’t making any money at this point but chances are that people will upload « new » audio vids in the coming days.
 
Lana team, it’s pretty simple: when you nuke bootleg versions for an official release, you do it the week after; if Lana isn’t ready for the single yet, you leave the bootleg versions there 

thats how you know we all are mentally ill

Every time I remember about this I just giggle. There's nothing more Lana than creating a whole ass verified IG account just to leave it blank for months and still getting more than 1M followers 
 
My theory is that they decided not to use it for this album cycle and they will just change it for the next thing (whenever that comes).
The fact that Ed follows it is basically confirmation that it's official so at one point it was meant for something... not anymore tho cause they didn't even post about the album or the festivals. It was probably supposed to be the promo account since Lana's is private 

I still think it has to be tied to Lana, after all some of the Interscope girls that were in her A&W post/video were following the account from the start
 
My guess is that they or someone else at Interscope made the account with the intention of using it for Ocean Blvd promo (or future use for the tour) but maybe Lana didn't like that idea and thats why nothing has been posted 

what is hope is a dangerous thing doing anywhere near this thread
