    I agree, I don't think she was channeling Veronica Lake either, I think those two were her before and after she let go of the necklace.

    This is Veronica Lake doing for promo for “I Married A Witch”, Lana’s white outfit is very similar. So I definitely think it was a hommage or referencing Veronica Lake.

     

    Veronica Lake was born Constance Ockelman and changed her name when she came to Hollywood. She was known for blonde wavy hair and her style became very popular in the 40s. She struggled with alcoholism and while she didn’t die, her addiction did have to do with her leaving Hollywood to find recovery.

     

    again many similarities to Lana’s story.

    wanted to drop my thoughts following the Grants and Did You Know…? as an album. I think this album will have mix to great reviews, I don’t think many people will understand it and that’s the point. I think its experimental nature will be a large turning point for Lana musically. For me, this album will be the LFL of the new album trilogy, not in motifs or incohesiveness, but rather in its transitional state.

     

    that being said this album might be as influential as BTD was for 2010s. NFR defined the early 2020s and I feel Did You Know…? will be influential for the rest of the 2020s. Like Jack said in The Rolling Stone interview, Lana is leading the pack not following it.:diva:

    A&W might be the best song of all time, but I still feel the album is still going to be Lust For Life 2.0, just more interesting and tasteful. I'm more interested in what comes after tbh. 

    No bc I thought this the other day!!!

     

    i always see Lana’s work in trilogies. LFR is the buffer link between BTD/Ultraviolence/Honeymoon and NFR/COTCC/BB hence why it’s so uneven and experimental. 
     

    i think DYKTATUOB will be uneven and experimental as well, taking us to the next Lana phase. But whereas LFR is not the strongest album in her discography, this transitional album might be one of her best works with bold new sounds and rich diaristic lyrics to match.

    to add on to this, i think it’s meant to show the dopamine rush she gets from her “american whore” lifestyle. part 1 reflects on the darkness she feels from it, and part 2 is how it makes her feel free 

    I love this analysis but I also cannot get over that Rosemead is officially part of the Lana del Rey canon and lyrics. I grew up in that city and to see it now like a lanaboards username is so wild to me! 
     

    obv love the username rosemead forever :hooker:

    one of her best albums lyrically is coming... I SAY I LIVE IN ROSEMEAD REALLY I'M AT THE RAMADA IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER DOESN'T REALLY REALLY MATTER

    Also I think the Ramada inn she is specifically referencing is the one by the 60 freeway. It borders El Monte, San Gabriel, and Rosemead so the context of the lyrics make sense. (I lived in Rosemead and we stayed there once when I was a child)

     

    Also! A stretch but an interesting thought, Ramada sounds a lot like Ramera which is slang for whore in Spanish.

    Lana is driving through the San Gabriel Valley now. First Arcadia, now Rosemead. Two very Asian-American cities in LA  #represent 

    I’m not Asian but I am latina and I grew up in these cities (Rosemead) and I agree it’s just kinda awesome to see them come up in her songs recently. 
     

    i died when I heard her mention Rosemead first thing in the morning when I heard A&W.

    Like these Lana and Jack collabs keep getting better and better with age. We’ve gone from Venice Bitch and Mariners to White Dress and COTCC and now to A&W and whatever other masterpiece they have on this record.
     

    Also the depth of the work is astounding, Lana’s lyrics are just something else here. As soon as she mentioned her mother, I knew it was gonna be THAT song. I’ll admit I was worried Lanaboards complaining about the piano in the beginning, but I think the outro gives it this fresh edge. Even though the whole song is just all around sharp and ready for the kill.

     

    so excited for the rest of the album! It’s gonna be very experimental, personal, and perhaps her magnus opus:diva:

     

    (also side note but I’m dying about her mentioning Rosemead. I was born and raised there:cuteface:)

    i dont really understand some peoples comparison to bb or cocc. this sounds so fresh to me like lana’s in a completely different headspace. the production is night n day between bb/cocc and this song. 

    This is so true


    i was re-listening to BB yesterday to prep myself for the new era and I think BB has this real echo-y, nostalgic feel to it. There’s something soft yet stripped down, also I’m not the biggest fan about how it sounds so far away/muffled.
     

    However,  this new single sounds yearning yet complex, building up with sounds as the song opens it up revealing itself to us. Obv there can be similarities between the two albums as one follows the other, but I feel there was something about BB rooted in the past whereas this album is about Lana’s present.

    Okay so:

    The opening acts for the tour each have a colour/symbol that corresponds with an album. For example: Paramore, beige with a leaf -> evermore. Gracie Abrams, grey piano -> reputation. 

    Therefore I think that the two opening acts at every date represent the albums included in the set list that night (+ midnights songs at every show). 

     

    This theory means that: 

    Night 1 is evermore + Speak Now.

    Night 2 is Lover + Speak Now.

    Nights 3-8 are Lover + reputation.

    Nights 9-14 are folklore + Speak Now. 

    Night 15 is folklore + reputation.

    Nights 16-21 are Red + Fearless.

    Nights 22-24 are 1989 + reputation.

    Nights 25 and 26 are debut and reputation.

    Night 27 is debut and Fearless (this would be such a cute show)

    Night 28 is debut and Speak Now.

     

    Hoping for a Red x 1989 date for the UK shows if this theory is true! However I wouldn’t mind Red x Fearless

    UGH EVERMORE + SPEAK NOW IS MY DREAM

    However, the one i most likely can do is the LA ones, which in that case I would go for debut and Speak Now<3

    why is she always victimising and feeling sorry for herself on every song these days, it's so tiring, her revenge songs don't come across as badass either they just come across as jouvenile idk, seems like she's hanging onto feuds that happened years ago and everyone got over it except her

    Taylor is a cancer moon and just like Lana is a cancer sun. We never get over anything ever.

    I think this album is gonna be like in NFR! like in terms of kickstarting a whole new Lana and new genre/experimentation. If NFR! kickstarted the stripped down era of COTCC and BB, I can see her next album swinging in the complete different direction.

     

    In regards to the “country” argument, I can see the new album still carrying the indie/piano ballads but with the return to Honeymoon orchestrations. If the mood is diaristic, angry, and lush it will be like nothing we have heard from Lana.

     

    we either get another LFL, as in not sure what genre it wants to be in but with bangers, or another NFR!, as in Lana successful exploring a new sound and creating masterpieces in the process.

    I really love how much Honeymoon has been brought to the conversation lately.

     

    between her current looks, her Instagram user name, and her mentioning “Swan Song” as her saddest songs PLUS saying her new work is almost spoken poetry with orchestra sounds… it’s like Honeymoon 2.0

     

    I think it makes sense after such minimalist eras (nfr, cotcc, bb) to come back to a maximalist approach albeit with her newer, diarylike lyrics. Kinda reminds me of FATM returning to maximalism in Dance Fever after two very visually subdued records.

     

    i just feel we might be getting old Lana aesthetics and vibes with her new perspective and powerful lyricism. That’s very exciting to me:party:

    yup! You can hear it especially in VFR and verse:

    "Ever since I fell out of love with you, I fell back in love with me"

    Like it shows difference between a new trilogy (NFR, COTCC, and BB) and an old trilogy (BTD, UV, Honeymoon). That line would never appear in an old trilogy :lanahairflip3:

    I love that we all acknowledge LFL as that awkward yet important transitional phase between the two trilogies. 

     

    (that being said are we heading into another LFL 2.0??? i honestly wouldn’t mind if they have the vibe of the last half of LFL :diva:)
