Equating Lana to Kanye is incredibly myopic and even offensive - Kanye is a neo nazi right winger. Let’s not make these comparisons lightheartedly, there’s so much at stake with a public figure like Kanye embracing and legitimizing anti-semitism.

Im fuckin screaming at the interaction above this post skjaskdjs

I just wanted to share with you all a really formative & impactful moment I had tonight with the title track from this record.
My wifey and I went out to our favourite bar that we frequent tonight until it closed at 3am, but we were still trying to keep the night going, so we hit up a friend of ours who works security at clubs to see where he was at tonight to let us in. He ordered us an Uber to meet him at his club for the night, and about 10 minutes into the drive while we were on the highway, there was a terrible accident a few cars ahead of us. We were stuck sitting there behind it as police cars and ambulances piled through, so my girl & I started chatting with the Uber driver about random stuff to pass time. I brought up Lana somehow (as I tend to do in every conversation) and the driver was like “Lana Del Rey? She’s so cool!” So ofc I asked him if he had heard her latest single yet and he said he hadn’t, so naturally, I played it on his aux & sang along to every word. Afterwards he said, “she killed that!” so I played a couple more of my favourite meaningful Lana songs for him such as Hope, California, 13 Beaches, Heroin, etc. The minutes kept passing and we began to sober up, and all of Lana’s lyricism got us in the mood to have some really deep conversations. The three of us ended up being stuck in that same spot on the road for nearly two hours as the accident was being dealt with, and during that time the three of us all talked together about the most intimate details of ourselves - our beliefs in afterlives/reincarnation, hopes & plans for the future, hallucinatory experiences, insecurities, darkest moments in our lives, happiest times, inner passions, family history, etc etc. Finally after almost two hours of no movement on that road, they eventually opened the lanes to get everyone off the road so they could close the entire highway, but by that time it was 4:45am and we decided to just head home instead of going to the club that would be closing in 15 minutes anyway. As we were only a couple minutes from our residence, I was like, “you know what, this calls for a full circle moment” and I played Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd once again. As we drove home in the final moments after all that we had just spoken about together, the three of us all sang along, even our driver to the chorus, us all shouting “DON’T FORGET ME” like it was the most important sentence we would ever say, hands in the air full on gospel-style (with our driver still keeping one hand on the wheel of course), as we reflected and relished in the final moments of the special time the three of us as two lovers and a stranger had just shared together. As the song began to fade out, he pulled into the driveway. We all exchanged hugs, and I told him that I would never forget him - and I meant it. He said he’ll always think of us when he listens to that song now, and I absolutely will always think of him & this moment too.
Who knew that a two-hour traffic jam in the middle of the highway on the way to a club on a Saturday night would lead to one of the most meaningful and memorable experiences I had this year, perhaps even in all my years. I’ll never forget this moment - or our driver John, shout-out to him.
I can’t wait for other memorable moments that I’m yet to experience with other tracks from the record, as there’s so many songs across Lana’s discography that I have such special ties too. However, this one is marking near the top of my list.
Anyway, it’s 7:30am now so I’m getting ready to go off to sleep. See you all tomorrow. Love u xx

Continuing where we left off from Sweet Carolina...

The background singers that she’s used for a while now I think, the ones on summertime/text book etc

Her asking the audience if they knew about the tunnel under ocean boulevard being synonymous for her asking if they know about her and if she is still relevant or cared about yeah i cried 

i just realised that when the insider said that "the girls are gonna make an appearance" they meant the B00BS
 

AMERICAN WHAT? 

 
 
 

I feel like we don't talk enough about how iconic the single cover image is.
 
I mean - the bun, the mood, the grumpy face, the shirt ... It is what MAC cover should have been,
 

Another -

 

BOZ confirmed the pastor is only on an interlude 

Lana has sung about God since the beginning of her career and it's never been cringe, I'm sure she'll find a way to make the pastor's inclusion tasteful and relevant to the album's story.
 
Also I can't listen to the song until after work because I have way too many distractions to immerse myself but in 5 hours I will be down by the lake ascending and I truly can't wait!!!!!!!!!
 
The album art is fucking STUNNNNNING wowowowoowowooowowowowowowow

I wonder how the Tommy Genesis collab came to be. Literally the last artist I expected to be on this album lmao I need to know the backstory

I bet the pastor collab is the interlude lol

OKAY SHE'S HOLDING A HEART SHAPED BOX IN THE ILLUSTRATION IS THE HEART SHAPED BOX COVER FINALLY COMING??
 

As someone who is going through a bad breakup, this song is really hitting

Y’all. The production is fucking gorgeous. The most perfect bridge between her older and more recent work. WE FUCKING WON

For K, Pt. 3 incoming

This photo reminds me so much of the one that was posted during Lana’s impeachment hex era
 
LFL 2.0 incoming

But popular musical history teaches us that artists often start writing about their family, children, and friends at midlife or a kind of midpoint in their careers. Except for passionate songs about their spouses or lovers, these are usually not met with very open arms. 

Oh… she can rest if she wants to 

this might be an unpopular opinion but she may have just captioned it peach fuzz bc the sunlit pic shows the peach fuzz on her face  i also cant really picture a lana song called “peach fuzz” or “peach fuzz” in a lyric

Me reading this thread as if I've ever been able to tell the difference between HQ and LQ audio files
