I can't wait for the fucking violas and violoncellos in Violets for Roses. 

That sounds lovely. Let's just manifest an entire orchestra and some electric guitar while we're at it. I hope it brings everything.

i think it's cus COCC's best listened to when ur tired with life that's why, its reinvigorating 

Wow, this is so true. Maybe that’s why I’ve been gravitating towards it a lot lately.

I’m at work , have I missed anything?

Nope, a normal boring day of piano ballad complaints and fake insiders. 

I will take whatever she wants to offer whether it's an actual piano ballad or something with a ton of production or anything in between. I'll admit COCC wasn't my favorite, but I still loved it and it's getting even fresher as it ages. I feel even better about BB so far.

everyone on mod queue that means i can write my manifesto about why bb will be her next magnum opus without getting interrupted or lost in the flow of conversation... a few main points i must stress are that lana thrives without jack (wrinkly) antonoff, she has recently tapped into a large vault of childhood and family trauma that has created some of her most beautiful and heartfelt lyrics... her sister had a baby, she is reminded of rebirth, and thus thought, i must rebirth lana del rey. no - its true... blue banisters is the birth of a new age of lana, more reflective, more sentimental, looking back upon the world with a different view, ready to tell her story in a different way.. it tells the story of her life, from her childhood to adulthood, from lake placid to LA, from one point to the next.. it encapsulates her life thus far as we know it. blue banisters is not just the cap, the ending, the summary of what she has lived, but the beginning of a new life, the start of something new, it is lana sitting down and saying no, i'm going to do things differently... some of the tracks will be simple yet beautiful, cherry blossom, thunder, etcetera... they'll be passionate, sentimental, emotional... some of the tracks will be involved, messy, chaotic perhaps, encapsulating the pure chaos of her life and the experiences she has had... this resurrection, this rebirth, of lana del rey, is particularly apparent in the arcadia alternative music video – the flowers, the sunlight, and the breeze all being representative of spring and the blossoming of nature as well as lana herself. blue banisters is, as mentioned, not just as album about rebirth. blue banisters is both spring and fall - it is the arcadia alt mv, idyllic representation of spring, greens, whites, blues, pinks, soft sunlit yellows... it is also the original arcadia mv, colors of fall, yellows, browns, rusted shades and grain. the album cover, the sepia tones, representing fall... and the blue profile cover representing again the blues of spring. spring is the season of rebirth, resurrection, and new life, while fall is the season of change, death, and ending... as i said, blue banisters is not just the "fall" - the ending of a story, closure to something, closure perhaps on the story of Lana Del Rey, but it is also the "spring" – the creation of something new, the flourishing of buds, the creation of something beautiful from something dead.... blue banisters is her love letter to herself and her life thus far, and an album with such a goal and that has such apparent striking imagery even before the whole album has been released (and i haven't even listened to arcadia) can only be a great work from a great artist. fin

 

I love this interpretation. I’ve been trying to think about the purpose of the two videos, but I think you’ve got it. Everything is a bit like closure and rebirth all the way down to including the older songs.

I just have this thought about the Arcadia music videos -

The official video was "Hilton Hotel" as her very own "Arcadia" (she said "send me a Hilton Hotel")

The alternate video was her actually being in the land of "Arcadia"

 

This has to mean something 

I was thinking since she mentioned the three singles being the beginning, Arcadia being "somewhere in the middle" and us knowing where she is now by the time album comes out maybe the alternate video is where she is now, but then I remembered she said "hearing" instead of "seeing" where she is now, so I'm not sure if this works.

I’m sure someone’s made this comparison before, but I feel like WFWF will be the Heroin equivalent to this record—a very dark but almost conversational track that reveals something vulnerable about Lana’s life. 
 

I adore Heroin, so I really hope there ends up being an unheard song on BB that tops it for me! Fingers crossed for tracks 5 and 15 lol

I definitely agree with this. A few months ago I tried to make a playlist of all of her released songs so that they kind of flow into each other based on how they sound and thematically and I got the idea to do that because I felt like Heroin and WFWF went so well together.
