I completely agree. While Blue Banisters is good, it’s very hard to just casually play and enjoy the songs, it takes a very specific headspace and when you’re in that headspace it isn’t a ‘jam out’ mood.
 
I do fear that her and I are going different directions, and it’s super easy for other users to say “well if you don’t like her or the direction she’s going, stop being a fan” because truthfully I’m not as big a fan of her as I was and it breaks my heart. I’ve had such a connection with her and the music for 10 years and it’s sad that I can’t vibe to her new music like I used to. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m so happy for the people who are happy at the direction she’s going and are getting exactly what they want from her, but I’m not anymore. When she describes the new album as wordy and raw it just sounds even less like what I want 

yeah I think the super wordy, stream of consciousness lyrical style she has lately kinda kills the vibe. 
 
It’s really impressive songwriting but personally there’s no replay value for me. The music isn’t catchy or “fun” to listen to. And paired with the bare bones instrumental style she’s arrived at…not really easy listening 
 
but I have faith, she said there’s drums and orchestra right? 

It must. I need it lol. 

ME TOO it's...gotta come out this year right??

Same... one of my favorite things about Lana is her storytelling and how she paints really clear pictures with her lyrics so I'm not sure about her approach for the next album. At the same time I'm not that worried cause even if her recent output has been lyrically different in style it still had the foundations of what I love about Lana's music.
I just hope the melodies are strong and it's not too much like a spoken word album, we already have her poetry for that 

the thing about 'wordiness' that gets me is she also says she isn't using colors and is just singing what comes to mind. So many of her songs have been super descriptive, and quite frankly she's doing the opposite of what I've been wanting her to do. Instead of going back to a creative writing style she's doubling down on her more recent writing style. I'm trying hard to not be negative, and I'm going to wait until we get a taste of the new music, but I am a little nervous

can I just ask you how are you being so hopeful when she literally said “it’s a wordy album. it’s conversational. I just sing things to my voice memos and send them to Drew for him to put orchestra over it” or even “i found hard to have ideas when I’m alone” like we’re literally gonna get an album with no rhythm, songs with no structure full of verses without a chorus… I’m finding really hard to be hopeful about the next era. but I don’t wanna be negative so I’m just happy we’re getting music soon but I’m scared 

You're not wrong. Extremely lazy music writing.

Aren‘t we hearing this with every new released record since Honeymoon 

Waist Deep in Icy Waves, but the Sharks Keep Me Company and My Blanket Is on the Shore, the ninth studio album by Lana Del Rey. 

It's amazing how different lyricism hits different people, because I find nothing redeeming about the lyrics of Watercolor Eyes and they don't touch almost anything on the past three albums in terms of that

I'm curious to see how this "wordy, conversational album" will fuse with what Rob described as "ethereal" and a possible insider described with the words "foggy beachy vibes".
At least the W Magazine photos seem not to be contrary to what the latter revealed.

hawaiian glam metal flashbacks

and when she's notoriously bad at describing her own music  retro future jazz humanism...

Ben reposted her W Magazine cover with the caption "New music in the works"
I feel that it's a good sign that one of her managers confirms new music is coming x
 

I came up with it for a Blue Banisters album cover + tracklist concept about a year ago when the three singles came out, and I guess it must have stuck around!

Truly incredible scene. And I remember that she cited Thomas Newman’s score for it as one of the earlier influences for her music. It’d be interesting if she ever decided to draw from that well again. 🧡

It could very well be referring to body bags in the sense that she is reminiscing over the "remains" of the relationships that are over. Trying to invoke the "chemistry (that) never dies" by running her fingers on the souvenirs and memories of them. 

One word: California.
That flat flat flat production wtf it could've been one of her best songs. I get so frustrated listening to that damned song.
