Lemonade Tea

Blue banisters is kind of her best title track lyrically if we think about it… like the subtext on that song is next level 

Honestly, after the 3 singles my expectations for the album were pretty low. But whew, she knocked it out of the park with Arcadia. One of her best releases in a hot minute. She still has that magic. There is hope after all 

All of the following are actually reasons I lover her.... but she's not exactly easily manageable or concerned with being liked by the masses or easily palatable or all that cooperative or open when it comes to marketing her releases. She uses selfies as single art and she likes antagonising and fucking with people and picks fights with reviewers on twitter.  She isn't forced to go on the promotional circuit like other artists and that's her choice and somewhat of a privilege. It's not like moving to another label would mean she would start appearing on late night shows. In fact I think the only reason Lana would move to another label is because they would relinquish even more control to her.

she behaves perfectly well? considering she's a glamorous star

she should just revive her old record label "coney island hot dogs"  

imagine if the song Beautiful is a reference to Young And Beautiful in some way...? cause she's 36 now and might not feel as young, so now she's just "beautiful". don't get me wrong, 36 is very young still, just not "young enough" in a industry of debutantes () such as billie eilish, olivia rodrigo etc.  

You know what? I bet this is her preparing herself before the album drops so she doesn't keep reading reviews that shit on her on Twitter and Insta and Facebook. I think she's trying to position herself in a way that she's able to just create what she wants without worrying or giving a fuck what critics think and her way of doing that is by deactivating. I bet she talked to Ed and Ben about it and they told her that would be the best idea because they're always going to have something to say no matter what album it is and what song she puts out, they're always going to say something. What happened this week? She dropped a single and video with an album preorder and I saw some reviews saying it's a bad song, blah blah blah, a lot of people really enjoyed it. What it's gonna come down to are the below areas I bolded/underlined. 
 
She literally said "I'm obviously continuing to make my spoken word albums and records and still write my short poetry books and that I'm still very present and I love what I do and I'm here for the music. And that I'm also just yknow, going on some different endeavors... The record, it's a compilation of a few older songs and some newer songs, some written by family and... there will probably always be more to come. I'm here making lots of records"
 
She's not going anywhere, just stepping away for a while so she can keep creating. Remember, she's working on the poetry book that was meant to come out back in March still and she's dropping BB and she's working on the covers album. I bet she's probably finally wanting to go to some classes about writing music for a musical. It seems like she's been really interested in going into other random things, like books and poetry and spoken word albums, and she was interested in doing something with Rick as far as a musical kinda theatre thing wasn't it? I can't remember. This seems like a new turn of a leaf that she's realizing she's only making things worse on herself by staying online. I'm really happy for her as much as I'll miss her. (Now, we just need to start looking for her secret accounts )
 
you know what would be really fucking funny? if she deletes all her socials just to make an account here to talk to us about new stuff happening and communicate with the fans  i know it won't happen but it would be cute. we know her team is very aware of LB so
 
edit: also wanted to add, THIS IS HER MOST PERSONAL RECORD TO DATE. THIS RECORD IS HER TELLING HER STORY. Her deactivating her socials before reviews drop MAKES TOTAL FUCKING SENSE. She won't want to hear what negativity people say

Why do I have a feeling that this album is going to emotionally destroy us? When she talked about bringing old collaborators, friends and family to write this album...putting old and new songs on it. It's like with this album she's curated everything that defines her. It feels like a farewell and an epilogue to this 10-year chapter. I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. I'm heartbroken but on the other hand I think she'll feel liberated. Social media can be insufferable and one's mental health should be their top priority. On the other hand, @Arcadia is right. It feels like she's forcing herself to smile. I really hope nothing bad has happened and this is just us overreacting but this video is slightly unsettling.
 
And I can't believe Blue Banisters & Arcadia are playing on Spotify as I'm writing this...
 
 

The only thing we will always be manifesting 

Laugh out loud. Blue banisters will serve harder than snoozeman coke on rockweiler and u no it 

She's wild and free

2023 they'll discover UV gems

If unleaked song with Barrie will be something like Brooklyn Baby...

the album cover is so beautiful… it is honestly competing with honeymoon, lust for life and uv for my fave cover
 
and yes all of them are competing because up until recently her cover game was top notch 

Can't wait for the Dark Paradise mv to be released soon as well 

i'm sorry but ya'll ain't living legends then 

speaking of covers, I would love to hear Lana do Going To California by Led Zeppelin 

maybe we're the real insiders all along  
 
while all of the tiktok stans are listening to jealous girl, we're listening to works of art like living legend, wild one, & i talk to jesus

When they add an actual guitar to living legend... 

When Lana decided to drop California MV in the middle of era

living legend slander?
 

manifesting a hawaiian glam metal 13-minute psychedelic hypnotic electronic mermaid motel-esque masterpiece 

imagine if she reworked fordham road, for the album's intro, or something like that?  

We need a reworked and revamped Riverside with Barrie
