'My love for Linton is like the foliage in the woods: time will change it, I'm well aware, as winter changes the trees. My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary.

I was redeemed full circle moment by @lanadelrey the queen herself in the pre-release.  and that's all that matters. 

I just got a flashback to when @your dealer posted screenshots exposing @lustforlife . That tea was SPILLEDTTTT sis  left my eyes rolling like 

there are planes in L.A. with "blue banisters out now" and "lana del rey"!!

Elton is so irrelevant. He is forcing his voice in dua piper and Charlie push's songs just so people can recognise him. but the sad truth is  no one likes Elton 

trust me, elton john will not chart better than her LMAOOO 
like i don’t think literally anyone is buying physicals of his album

if I can list 2 negative things about the album : 
 
1. (not really about the album but) NFR! neon makeup era felt like the last time we saw lana being young and free and fucking crazy.. with her tight shorts, straight hair, eyeliner etc. COCC and BB is way too much introspection (which was great in cocc but overstretched a bit now) but whatever she likes... However, I do mind that she didn't continue with the NFR! era style which was so hot. I remember watching Fuck it I love you MV and thinking WOW she still has that BTD era video making style in her.. I wish it comes back.. 
 
2. It is so different from her attitude in the beginning where she was focused more on her art and less on the media. now it seems like there is an element of caution in her music. which restricts her a bit. I mean the critics don't even like it, so she might as well go back to her fucking crazy era you know. 
 
3. the interlude.................................... why is it so abrupt (my ears) 

The way that there's still no > 9 - 10/10 review at this point is really concerning. WHY hasnt anyone given this album a damn 10/10 for god's sake? 
 
c'mon work on your taste!!!

9h and 25min from now 

Why do I not remember this? $600! Huh

I will try to record it  I just don't want to make any promises since I've never recorded something from there before, but hopefully I can get it to work out just fine

"Del Rey wails with previously unseen volume, passion and frustration: “I don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna give you nothing, ’cause you never give me nothing back.” It’s a moment of pure catharsis for Del Rey — she’s never sounded better."
 

 
Dealer is truly that bitch 
 
 

@Elle when can we get the Blue Banisters LB Theme.. ?

@Elle when can we get the Blue Banisters LB Theme.. ?

Appreciate this. I explained in the hello section how my arc went from hating y'all to mutual love. <3 
 
But xoxo 
I'll always be an insider 

I was redeemed full circle moment by @lanadelrey the queen herself in the pre-release.  and that's all that matters. 

I am just so obsessed with this record – it is arranged so beautifully, it is so classic in feeling, it has sophistication, grace, and maturity. The lyrics are perfect all-around. Everything I love about an album. I imagine it will become my absolute favourite.  

So sad to see NME and INDEPENDENT give BB a 80 when they gave COCC 100 

I think I will send Thunder to my local radio station (especially because it is storming by me right now 

yes @May I am misunderstood. 
 
as someone reviewed: 
"Like a lot of people who feel misunderstood, she is a chronic over-explainer, and Blue Banisters sprawls and elaborates past the point where we can place our own projections onto it. We know too much." (I think it was NME) 
 

 

thank you also for supporting me @May I appreciate you so much queen. 
 
Btw, I am on instagram now ( @arcadialovesong2018). Sorry if this is off topic, I couldn't find the social media thread. I'd love to follow you guys, can someone direct me to the thread? 
 
<3 my favourite song on repeat right now is if you lie down with me. I begged Cedric Gervais to remix it for us

ok i'm done enjoy 
 
 
Blue Banisters- Lana Del Rey ★★★★★
 
 
Cavernous drums and stark silence introduce the next studio album “Blue Banisters” by Lana del Rey
 
“I guess you could call it text book….I was looking for the father that I wanted back…..”
 
Setting us up for a curation of ballads and bops that dive deep into who Lana Del Rey, where’s she’s been, and where she is now.  This isn’t a typical album from the New York born singer songwriter, it builds on and explores experimental vocals and sounds that we’ve never heard from the artist.
 
From the unhinged but addictive outro of “Black Bathing Suit” to the bluesy jazzy ethereal horns at the end of “If you lie down with me” and the hazy inebriating sounds of the Miles Kane feature, “Dealer”.
 
The first three songs on the album are simply a stunning introduction to Blue Banisters. Text Book, Blue Banisters, and Arcadia. Blue Banisters takes a dive into the more folk side of Del Rey. “There’s a picture on the wall, of me on a John Deere” Followed by images of her surrounded by friends and loved ones helping her pick up the pieces again. Her vocals shine through on this song and you can feel her emotion in this line:
 
“I’m scared of the Santa Clarita fires I wish that it would rain” She pleads in what may be the purest form of her voice we’ve heard so far.
 
Arcadia may as well be something out of Disney. A mix between classic Del Rey and expanding upon glorious strings and horns that sound like they came down from the heavens.
 
Just as you find yourself gently floating away The Trio comes. Ennio Morricone is joined with deep and intense trap beats that really shake you, wake you, and prepare you for the journey the rest of the album takes you on.
 
What happens after the Trio is only something Lana Del Rey could pull off. A run of five incredible songs, some old and some new, that all work together to tell the story of Blue Banisters. There are some of her strongest moments in her career here:
 
Black Bathing Suit is almost every Lana Del Rey sound fused seamlessly into one song. Slowly unraveling to the eruption that is an outro filled with psychedelia and powerful, almost yelling vocals and some jabs about her treatment by media and public.
 
“Oh let em talk about me, They’re just yesterday’s news, They’re fucking broke and we’re laughing about them”
 
If you lie down with me, Beautiful, Violets for Roses, Dealer and Thunder are followed by Black Bathing Suit and are absolutely incredible highlights.
 
From being misunderstood in Beautiful “Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do, Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness, I can turn blue into something. Beautiful, beautiful Beautiful like you.” A lush ballad of breathy piano and crystal clear vocals. A stark contrast to Dealer, featuring Miles Kane where Lana can be heard nearly screaming in the chorus with her last fuck to give “I don’t wanna live, I don’t wanna give you nothing, cause you never give me nothing back.” Dealer is the best bad trip you’ve ever had and one of Lana’s most memorable songs.
 
Thunder is another highlight on Blue Banisters. It brings you in with strings that spiral like a tornado, and slowly builds up introducing different musical elements and a beautiful choir singing in the background. Thunder sounds like a song that has always been around, it exists in a place you can feel but you cannot touch, as is usually the case with Lana’s music.
 
Overall, Blue Banisters is a top tier entry into Lana Del Rey’s catalogue. Deeply exploring her past relationships with her parents, family and friends in a way that she’s never done before. The older songs on the album seem to fit right in, adding to a larger part of dialogue. Not only is Lana a singer and songwriter on this album, but an instrument as well, distorting her voice and using it in innovative ways to evoke vivid emotions and visions.  Blue Banisters is a recipe for a nearly perfect album. Lana Del Rey has evolved to what sounds like her truest and most vulnerable self artistically and is more confident than ever. We can only imagine the places she’ll go next, as she herself has said there will always be more music. An album that will be referenced in the future for its exploration in current events and culture as well as a sound that will for sure influence other artists, Lana Del Rey herself is a Living Legend.

I think I will send Thunder to my local radio station (especially because it is storming by me right now 

Aw, thank you!! I was really proud of that title lol
