@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 

i wouldn't mind BB being the opener, it'd be great, but my thing about is that how would that fit w the album and the story it might share 

it's one of her best songs ever
 
 
There, I said it

Yes bestie, good idea (also because I know you'll hate it in a week)

The mods need to channel their inner Kim Jong Un and start handing out a 6 month ban to anyone who dares to criticize Blue Banisters (one of her greatest songs ever). Enough is enough! 

i can see cherry blossom being a cute lullaby closing the album 

Yes please 

I know this is super delusional and the only ‘source’ of this was Darla, but what if RCS (or whatever it’s called) comes out next week with a video 
 
the ‘insider’ (and yes I know they were fake so don’t @ me) mentioned hearing the four songs and that was early in the week when we still assumed Blue Banisters was going to have a video
 
maybe what BOZ couldn’t believe she was doing was releasing three buzz singles and then the ‘lead’ single a couple weeks later 
 

I think Ancient Dreams has a great message that absolutely everyone can relate to, and that's why it's definitely something that could attract people outside of her regular fanbase. Also the fact it's so reminiscent of Womanizer, one of the greatest hits of Britney...  I wonder how critics will like the album.

Ancient dreams is one of the best singles of the year, I’ve noticed a lot of people outside of her fan base love it, I showed it to someone and they couldn’t understand why people hated it.

not much of a marina stan but i do listen to her every now and then! i'm looking forward to the music she's releasing right now. it's much more enjoyable to me than whatever love + fear was. 

I really like the idea of Blue Banisters being the closer, ending the album with her banisters being painted from blue to green and grey. 

just reading it makes me wanna cry 

anyways 
 
so do we think the 7 minute long song mike posted yesterday is for lana? cause i don’t see anyone else right now who’d make a 7 minute song with mike....

I have to agree with y'all, I don't really see Blue Banisters as an opening track. It should come after Textbook and Wildflower Wildfire as track 3, or it would even be a great closer 

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.
 

 

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  

Blue bannisters feels so much as a closure of the album, i’d love to see the title being the final track 

If you listen carefully to Text Book and Wildflower, there are some light “country-ish” elements in the production. Just cute enough to not dwelve entirely into that genre. I’d be on board for a Mike Dean country-psychedelia grower, a bit like Madonna did with Don’t Tell Me (since I saw that he was mastering a 7-min track on his IG, I want that song to be for Lana and be something soaring )

Yes, TB -> WW -> BB is the elite way to listen to these songs
