How adorable is this video??? https://www.facebook.com/1756721224429472/posts/3133390833429164/

I ordered the wooden box & the forgotten tee ❤

FYI, I just received a shipment notification for my Violet merch order that I placed a few months ago. For those of you who still haven't received anything, keep an eye out on your email, I just received the email that my order shipped.

* I will edit this post once they are all claimed* Hi! So, I bought extras of a few things to share with a few of you who aren't able to Shell out money for Merch right now! I'd like to pay it forward and help a few of you out by giving away a few of the extras I bought! Please note, I purchased all of these items from the US store. Estimated shipping date is March 19th from the US store . To give away, I have: *2 of the standard US CD versions. I also bought 2 extra red and white masks so I will include the mask with your CD. Let me know if you don't want it though. * 1 CD boxed set Please be located in the US. I'm sorry that I cannot ship internationally at this time ? Please DM me with your name and mailing details! Everyone in this forum is amazing and I've so enjoyed being on here with all of you! I have read comments from many of you who are struggling and not able to buy any merch. I've definitely struggled in the past and I'd like to pay it forward now that I'm in a more stable position. 10 years ago I was in an awful relationship and living situation. and on most weeks I didn't even have enough gas in the car to get to work. I had friends and co-workers help me out and I don't know what I would have done if it weren't for them helping me. Ever since then , I've always tried to pay it forward with small acts of kindness where I can . I'm really just looking to help out some fellow Lana fans! Feel free to DM me. Thank you ?

Very well said! I do think you have a very good point and you could very well be right. I was just worried that perhaps she's getting sick of Fame & everything and this is going to be her last record. Maybe I read too much into it and took it too literally, but I remember that original interview and I got the vibe that she just wanted to be done with everything as far as her mainstream music career.

What worries me is what she put in the IG stories, she replayed that quote from that old interview she did where she said that she wish she was dead already. Hopefully it's not any indication of how she's currently feeling

The way Clayton threw shade at Sean on his most recent IG post.

I ordered a buncha stuff the day the merch was released. I have not received any sort of shipment notification email yet. Not worried about it because all the stuff is for my own collection anyway, but I'm not surprised either. I remember I ordered a couple items from her "Surf Shop" collection including the Cinnamon Girl hoodie. I am pretty sure it took 4 or 5 months for the stuff to get to me! lol! I remember actually completely forgetting that I had even placed the order, and then I was surprised when the stuff showed up for 5 months later because I had totally forgotten about it by that point! It was a pleasant surprise of course, but I have no doubt that certain items will take longer, especially with the virus situation and postal delays added into the mix. I think the longest wait I ever had was the Lust For Life pre-order, when she offered signed CDs. I ordered a couple signed CDs and signed lithographs and I'm pretty sure it took a little over a year before they arrived!

Ok! Wow! I am loving this a LOT more than LMLYLAW! I am loving the vocals & the production! I love everything about it, and that video is wonderful! Gorgeous! I love seeing her smile and you can really see those changes from the early eras videos to now! That video looks like she's having a fun jam session with friends! Definitely a very cool vibe and I'm loving the production! 5 stars from me and I hope she keeps the momentum going!

OMG those texts with her Dad! SO Sweet!!

Is Heart Shaped Box considered an American classic standard?

And now it's on People Magazine website... https://people.com/music/lana-del-rey-claps-back-at-criticism/

Yes, exactly! Thank you! We need more peace and love out there, not more witch hunts, finger pointing and bitterness!

Honestly, I agree with her about how who she voted for being nobody's business. Because it's true. I was raised to be respectful and I was taught that religion and politics are two topics that are best not discussed with others because they are very sensitive, personal and divisive topics. People could argue back and forth all day and still disagree on both of those topics. I personally don't care who people vote for, as long as they vote! Because if you don't vote, then you have no right to complain when the election doesn't go your way. This obsession with knowing who people vote for comes across like a Witch Hunt to me, which is a very very dangerous thing. When you start treating it like a Witch Hunt and you become obsessed with finding people who support one candidate or another, that is some pretty scary shit. ( I am NOT referring to anyone on here! I am generally referring to people I have seen on Facebook and other social media sites who try to call out their friends and family members and shame them) It needs to stop. People should just leave her alone about her politics. If people are really that interested, her father is on Instagram practically everyday denouncing Trump. I don't know if that helps anyone, or gives anyone any kind of reassurance.. but personally, whoever Lana Del Rey voted for is completely irrelevant to me and doesn't change my opinion of her nor does it change who I vote for. We all need to vote with our hearts and our conscience and that's all we can ask of each other. This Witch Hunt thing needs to stop because as you can see, the country is literally divided in half, so half the country does in fact support Donald Trump. There's no getting around that. Whether we like it or not. I'm not going to comment on her mask scandal because I was not there at that bookstore and I don't know what that mask does or does not consist of. I have a feeling that ever since the question for the culture scandal, people have been trying to cancel her every chance they get. This cancel culture and Witch Hunt culture is just beyond toxic. I'm Lana's age and I'm really grateful that I grew up as a young child and teenager without all of this social media and cancel culture craziness! We didn't have Facebook and Twitter back then! The internet was still in its infancy and in many ways, life was better back then! I'm sure that makes me sound old, but there are definitely those days where I wish I could just time travel back to the 90s and stay there!

Thank you! and I totally agree with you! I love collecting things like this and the box is right up my alley. I really hope she does another box like this for the COCC release! She could put little Midwestern mementos into the box, a CD copy of the album, perhaps postcards representing some of the places she's visited over the past year, incense, stones, and other little trinkets and mementos. I think if the box came with a CD copy of the album, that would be the icing on the cake. I like the idea of having something physical to help set the mood for the album. I grew up purchasing CDs and physical items and I really feel like the digital era is lacking that sense of having something physical to hold in my hands, something that really sets the tone and sets the mood for sitting down and listening to an album all the way through for the first time. I'm really looking forward to receiving the Forgotten Vibes box and hopefully the sales of this merch will prompt them to do something similar for whenever COCC is released ❤️

It kind of reminds me of the NFR "Surf Shop" merchandise launch which I found to be a little underwhelming. I did end up buying a Cinnamon Girl hoodie. But when it finally arrived like 7 million months after I ordered it, I'd already forgotten about it. Then it didn't even fit me , so I ended up giving it to a friend of mine. I wish the wooden box sets were signed or something if she's only doing a limited run of them. I wish she would offer stuff like signed bookmarks and signed book plates for the poetry books. Ben & Ed need to DM me for Merch ideas because honestly I have so many more ideas and yeah. Come take my paycheck!

I think if you sign up for text or sign up for the email list, you get a discount code sent to you

Congrats on your bonus! And I hope you treat yourself to something if you want to ♥️

Good point! I bought a few of the cocaine spoon necklaces a couple years ago and now they're selling for $600 online or something crazy like that. I figure the Forgotten Vibes Box will be a collector's item, so I bought two of them. She could have included a vibrator in the Box for good measure & a real vibey experience! ? Also, why isn't Lana promoting this on her Instagram or Twitter, etc? I literally found out about this new merch drop through a Lana Facebook fan group! She's really not into promoting, is she? ?

Well, there goes $300! Good thing today is payday! I'm really glad I was able to snag that keepsake box! That is exactly the type of merch she needs to come up with for the COCC release! A box that includes inspired little mementos that go with the record and sets the mood! FYI Ben & Ed: This is the kind of merch that many of us want to see! Physical merch is not done very much these days and the keepsake box is a great idea! Please see if she'll do one for the COCC release! Please keep it going! I am more than happy to turn my paycheck over to Lana! I'm also glad they are offering larger sizes because my ass is definitely not fitting into a size L!! Now let's just hope I actually receive this in a somewhat timely manner. I still have flashbacks of the signed Lust For Life CD pre-order and it took over a year to receive my autographed LFL CD ?

Cute quick clip of Sean in the video (or at least I think it's him) at 3:08. It really is a sweet video and maybe in a way it's her starting to say goodbye to LA? She has the money & resources to move pretty much wherever she wants, so I do hope that she follows her heart and relocates, if that's what she wants to do! There's nothing wrong with living in a quiet rural area! People tend to treat you normally and she'll have peace and privacy.

It's a sweet song and a sweet video. it's nice to see her and her friends just enjoying themselves. Even though the song is not of the particular sound or style that I like, I still appreciate it for its meaning.

Exactly! for some of us, that's a good thing! For others, not so much! LOL. What do we think about the cover art? I am getting Lizzy Grant vibes!

I'm glad we finally have a new song! I just listened to it on dbree. It's a beautiful song for sure. Gorgeous vocals, and I really like the lyrics. Unfortunately it's just not my favorite style from her. I'm hoping the entire album isn't exactly like this song. I really wish she would work with Rick Nowels again! I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest of the record but I realize it'll be a while before that happens!
