@lanasbottom and @Selfloathinpoet: please I love you both and I am still traumatized by what happened in the thread about Marina yesterday I like how many thoughts you put it in your posts @Selfloathinpoet and how sassy you sometimes are @lanasbottom. Now lets be one big gay family again ok

Do you like Text Book now?

So this is the only review I was able to find: https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/lana-del-reys-text-book-might-address-her-cop-ex-boyfriend And it doesnt really add anything to the discussion. Then we have F*antano. Did I miss anything?

Re-doing her man‘s work, I like that. Does it also work with the childern he gave her?

The banisters are not green or grey. So that‘s not her

Who eats a salad with a capuccino? You would go to jail in italy for this crime Dont let us down

Oh well, I heard it now. Not sure if it‘s really Lana though.

Maybe its the snippet from birds of prey from some years ago? Just Lana singing „AaAaAAAaaHaaaAh“? Please tell us what you heard

And the best posts have been moved to the single-threads aka a place where I will never go I‘m so curious how this era will work. The three singles haven been called „buzz singles“ in a similar way that VB and MAC have been called „fan singles“. I remember Lana saying she wanted them to be released because they were the core of NFR for her. But VB and MAC weren‘t the title track and we also got a really good interview with them*. It also doesn‘t make sense to have a music video for BB at this point? *I still remember how I listened to VB on a bus drive in the evening

Burns, burns, burns

Somehow new people came in and brought the topic up again. Glad you enjoy her music I hope the rest of the record will blow me away.

Yes! I remember how fascinated I was when she used to sing through a piece of paper to create some songs on LFL. Would love to know more about the process, especially because she complained multiple times how the critics write more about her than about her music. And what better way to tell your story if not through a documentary? @Ben I know your are lurking, call Netflix

The perfect time to pull the rug out from under her critics feet. "You like me now? Well I still don't like you "

Maybe that was the last straw, you could be right. On the other hand I think she knew she didn't have a chance against Billie, her record was just massive and Billie was / still is one of the most adored singers. Gosh I wish Lana would finally explain her motivation behind BB and how it is connected to her QFTC, critics and so on. Let's manifest a dramatic and revealing interview with Oprah where she outdoes Harry and Meghan.

I saw some tweets saying the same thing, like "Lana lost her mind after not winning the grammy". I dont really think there is a connection between the QFTC and her not winning the grammy.

Why do we start fighting in every thread

It was the same for me! But after the third or fourth time something clicked and I fell in love with them

Thank you

Manifesting with you + an instagram live stream where she answers fan questions and shouts „SHUT UP! ITS MY DAY!“ again

I prefer to lurk here and post whenever something catches my attention. There is really no evil masterplan behind my posts

Did you even read what I wrote? That I prefer Lana was obviously my personal opinion. Take it or leave it. The constructive thing I added though was that it‘s not fair towards both artists to compare them and to expect the same things. Both have their own valid approach. Can we now leave this discussion? just adding that it wasn‘t me dragging her in. But continue.

Because I was reading here about Marina and this topic came up. I can add my opinion whenever I want

Do I want music from Marina? Yes. Would I choose Lana‘s music if I had to? Yes. Do I think Lanas lyrics are better? Yes. I have no idea what problem you see.

Subjective like 99% of LB, yes. I have to disagree with your post, since I see BB‘s single as something absolutely intruiging for me while Marinas new music sounds... dated and monotone? I loved To Be Human much more than PTP or ADIAML. But I accept your opinion of course.
