COCC

I know, and that‘s exactly the problem  you fail to give an explanation why you are compairing two different artists and expecting them to do the same stuff  and also why you think that one is outdoing the other just because you like their approach more  Enjoy what Marina does without dragging Lana 
 

I like the artwork. I like that she pisses people like you off with a simple selfie. I love the singles. Get over it

Okay 

So anyway, what if this selphie is gonna be like Andy Warhol pop art type shit and the album cover will just be it repeated 9 or 12 times?

ANYWAYS, I'm excited to see the guitars back , we must thank Daddy Mike  hopefully they're electric this time and not acoustic tho

I also agree! I just want to add that I‘m still convinced that these three singles tell one story. One about being hurt, one about learning to control yourself and one about healing with your friends / chosen family. It cant be a coincidence that the covers of TB and WW have the wounds at the exact same places on her chest. And it can‘t be a coincidence that the background colors change from only blue to red and blue to only yellow. Also that her right eye is so big on the cover of TB and WW while it‘s normal sized on the cover of BB.
 

It‘s beautiful

I have been reading through the last couple of pages of this thread and I totally get that some of you don‘t like the songs. They have a complex melody, are not catchy on the first listen and not easily accessible. I was struggling too when I heard them. So it‘s absolutely ok if you don‘t like them and if you want share your opinion!
 
But please keep in mind that for some users (including me), this is peak Lana. She has probably never created something so unique and never shared lyrics that are so vulnerable. Sometimes they feel like poetry and after stanning her for ten years I see a new side of her as a person and musician. They also show how she has created her own place in the music industry where no one else can follow her.
 
I hope you consider this before you post „We will never get the old Lana back“ or „why did she work for Mike when it‘s not for a hiphop record“. And that the rest of the album could sound quite different and that it’s too early to write it off.

I know exactly what you mean: To paint your banisters

Nah we’re just discussing the criticism of a song ona
 a discussion forum, it’s all fun and games we all have different experiences with her music
 
 

Tex and Mex are in the bay 

Would be funny if she was less subtle, ‘I love playing the blues buy Nicki Lanes album on Itunes, 5.95 you can’t argue with that price’. 

I’ve never a seen a discussion thread about a singer writing too much about her life experiences with the people she surrounds herself with
 
she literally says she’s telling HER story, which includes her friends and family? But that makes it hollow and “reduces” the song
 
hsjsdbjsndnnsndnndkkxkfksoad your brain is doing jumping jacks, only on Lanaboards, fun to read tho 
 

If the next record is full of Wildflower Wildfires.... it’ll be a serve for sure

Now here‘s the deal,
cause you wanna talk about it:
 
 

Try what? To understand you? Gave that up long time ago. 
 
We have peak Lana while Marina is talking about Britney shaving her head and Winestein going to jail 

Text Book is so perfect... I can’t even deal with how beautiful that song is. The lyrics, her voice, the production. A masterpiece. I know she’s gonna slay us with this album. Also, I don’t remember enjoying the lead singles from Chemtrails half as much so I have high hopes!

kshnshjjd what’s the problem with her talking about her friends and putting them in her songs and stuff. it’s not that serious

The likes of Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, and St. Vincent just to name a few
 
 
Aside from making it personal and imo giving the songs a classic twang - I'd argue that the context of #that lyric paired with the rest of the things she mentions in that verse fit so perfectly. She basically mentions the good things that are happening around her: her "banisters" being painted green and grey that allude to her being in a lively but still neutral ascending state (hence the banisters metaphor), her dogs playing around, chuck baking a birthday cake and a baby on the way (all positive good happy whatever things)  just goes to show how the people or things that you surround yourself with really affects you: and she ends that verse with the realization that her blue banisters are green and grey now. That's spectacular lyricism if you ask me...
