I could spend hours asking her questions about life and her personal philosophy — in some ways, those are the best parts of every good and interesting interview she gets to do when the interviewer asks the right questions. I don’t know about everyone else, but I love hearing about her day-to-day, her mentality, what she’s reading, etc. It is so inspiring. I agree so much with what she about the goal being to meet yourself. Edit: I’ve been reading an incredible book called Art in the Age of Artifice by J.F. Martel (recommended reading from Donna Tartt after The Secret History), and it‘s about how true art is often messy and contains symbols and is open to interpretation—it brings weirdness, otherworldliness to the real/things we know to be true; while artifice is manufactured “art” that tells you exactly what it means, what the message is, and how to feel about it (i.e. blockbuster good vs bad movies). It always makes me think who is doing it like Lana???? Literally no one. Recording automatic singing sessions to put on your major label album in the name of self-understanding and personal growth. She pushes boundaries like no other, and it’s so refreshing in the age of edited/smoothed, digital perfection on the radio. Here’s a quote from that book that reminds me of that: ”The greatness of all great art lies in its capacity to convey the Real in all its mysterious richness, not in the communication of an opinion as to what is true and false, right or wrong, possible or impossible. For a filmmaker, conveying the Real may well mean using the best take even though it contains a camera jerk or a mysterious detail that does not fit the scheme yet simply feels right. It definitely means letting chance and chaos play a part in the process so that unforeseen connections are allowed to enter into the work and augment its breadth and power. It also means letting the leaps, breakages, and interruptions that were part of the original vision make it all the way to the finished product.”

I know on here YTH can be seen as the scarlet letter of tastelessness, but I truly love it—it’s the *atmosphere* of the song that gets me! it feels so ethereal, with a sprinkle of 80s Fleetwood Mac a lá Tango in the Night but obviously cinematic Lana style. Sure, she’s had better, more visceral lyrics. But I truly love YTH and would be ECSTATIC to finally get to scrobble it 😭😭😭 I wish we had more songs from her with that kind of instrumental, the climbing cyclical progression and steel guitar

On the schedule page for the day it says 18:00 (BST) for Lana! So that’s 1pm EST and 10am PST: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/schedules/bbc_radio_one#on-air and here’s the page to listen live (same as always but flagging for anyone who’s downloading an app, you shouldn’t have to!) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_one

also, I don’t think I ever knew until reading this article that they changed born to die to be poppier right before release. I wish I could hear it in its original version that she first intended. it is annoying, like she said, that because of that switch by the label, it changed her public perception to be a pop artist with a manufactured persona versus a diaristic singer-songwriter with a pen name.- 192 replies

is she wearing a wolf necklace?!?!! I can’t see when I zoom in! but it would make sense given her recommendation of ‘women who run with the wolves’ and of course the chemtrails music video 😭 I NEED IT -
I think the single is beautiful! so cute that Jack produced. big pms mood, but the whole idea of Rob realizing his dream and releasing this record with his entire little family as his team, photographing, co-writing, and their friend producing—and how happy he looks on the cover—IS MAKING ME CRY *looks in the mirror* PULL IT TOGETHER BISH

the way I had to muffle my laugh in a public place while reading this. TOO TRUE
