I'd be really interested in reading the essay if you ever find it again.

I love that @kraljicabenzinske started this and chose "Burnt Norton" as the first work. I've been meaning to read this for years! I feels ethereal, beautiful, mysterious, but also dangerous, just like Honeymoon. I think that's why Lana chose to include it. The rest of my collected thoughts as I was reading part I: I had to look up lotos. My takeaway is that it's a fruit that if eaten puts you in a pleasant dreamlike state. Again, it feels forbidden, but very tempting. Everything in reality was boring and ugly, but the sunlight came in giving hope. Maybe the lotos represent the hope and the ability to dream. Just like that the dream passed. Reality set in. I haven't read part II yet, but it feels like a set up to go deeper into the garden as a way to run from reality. The last line is a repetition, so maybe it's a reminder that dreams are just dreams. Time is a dimension just like what we think of as space and the physical world. I could go into the math of this. I'll spare everyone from that, but time is linear and this makes me think Eliot believes everything has already been decided and played out, so what's the point in dreaming? The single end point will always be there, lingering, no matter how hard you dream.

This part makes me think of Honeymoon a lot. It's an album that's overlooked. It's meant to be listened to with a purpose, but I think it takes effort to really appreciate Honeymoon, but when you do find it and take that time with it, it's beautiful.

These lines in particular makes my mind go crazy with different outcomes to situations that have happened and different possibilities of things that could happen. I could down down a rabbit hole for hours just from this.

The flowers kinda look like Hollyhocks.

Not this one. I woke up at 2:30 and was too excited to go back to sleep.

Does anyone else remember when Jack D posted a story in the spring from the pool at the Berkeley City Club? I know it's not a tunnel, but it kinda looks like a tunnel.

lol I would die. Myrtle Beach is basically my second home.

When this is all unreleased Lizzy songs.

This is actually exactly what I imagined when I thought about her covering Coconut.

For K, Pt. 2 vs Kill Kill

or a random fight or gif gate

Jack. (Either one)

The Collected Works of Jim Morrison: Poetry, Journals, Transcripts, and Lyrics

Venus In Furs - The Velvet Underground

This song, but really this entire album.

I have to be delulu for a minute and write about how the stars aligned and this album was released for me. My birthday is Oct 25. I take a medication she mentioned. NOTG was one of my favorite unreleased songs (or at least post-Lizzy unreleased). Even though I can agree it's not the best album as a whole, the musical style aligns nicely with various genres I'm interested in, so it's still somewhere in the top of my list. Right before we figured out Thunder was going to be on the album I had been to a memorial service for my finance's phD advisor. Apparently his motto was "Just do it". I had been going on a deep dive of RHCP, and the iconic scene from Arcadia with the stars in the background and the city on her chest is almost identical to a scene in the video for Under the Bridge. But mostly the fact that it's basically a birthday album

What kind of stuff do you like now? I usually look into my favorites' inspirations (as someone mentioned above), and typically that works out well. I also try some stuff in my usual genres on the new music friday playlists. Honestly, it's like a needle in a haystack using that method, but I have found some newer artists I really like that way.

Okay, here's my list. Most of these are also on my all time favorites list.

Jesus Christ by Brand New is one of my favorite songs ever

If you write anymore next time you’re high and bored I’d be interested to read them… but maybe as a blog post or status or message or something

I still like the lyrics.

That line gives me a visual similar to the end of Tropico.

Real or not this sounds so heartbreaking and I’m curious for more

I feel a bit introspective right now, so why not? Sun - Actual Sign: Scorpio Lana Discography Sign: Honeymoon I can definitely be dramatic, wild, and very emotional, but in a lowkey way. I also get overlooked as I'm extremely introverted and quiet despite the raw emotion that's almost always in my mind. Most of the time my outward demeanor is going to be that of something like MTWBT. Eventually I always reach my breaking point (comparable to The Blackest Day), but a little party in the form of Freak or HBTB helps me recharge. Moon - Actual Sign: Virgo Lana Discography Sign: AKA My mind can be pure chaos. There are some wild, in-your-face, potentially dangerous moments like Mermaid Motel, Jump, and ... well y'all know the album, but there are also more mysterious and hazy moments too. Rising - Actual Sign: Scorpio Lana Discography Sign: NFR I think I seem a lot more calm than I really am most of the time, but there's still clear optimism. I also think I'm at the point in my life where I thrive most in low-key social settings (for example, sitting around a fire listening to Crimson and Clover) and I need an escape from everyday life often. Violet would fit here well too. Side Note: I really wanted to use Blue Banisters for one of these because I connect so much with Nectar and WFWF, but the album as a whole didn't exactly fit any of the signs for me.
