    Oh wow i forgot how i used to be in love w this thread and this thread solely being my reason joining this forum…

     

     

    This thread is amazing! It will be my new mainstay. I'm not versed on mysticism or anything like that but I will try my hardest to keep up with you guys if any of you care to share more of your wonderful insights.

     

    It's wild to me that these discussions are harder to seek out. I feel like every day when I listen to her music, there's something she says that puts me on pause and I'm just like, why is no one talking about this or piecing this shit together??? So this thread is a god send for me.

    Absolutely adore this thread. It's great work, my hats off to you guys in here. Answering a lot of questions I have. I will say, the people naysaying this thread have not begun to scratch beyond the surface of Lana and her work. I don't know how anyone who's been following this woman as long as me or even later years in her career cannot see all of these things being discussed in this thread are very accurate and in tune. It's a lot deeper than we will ever know. I hope she tells us one day. Candidly.

     

    Her next album is going to be fun to dissect. I feel like she took it back to the start with Did You Know....finally vocalizing some of the things we already knew she experienced (being sent away, her rough relationship with her mother, experiencing loss at a young age, and just her general circumstances during these years)

     

    I haven't fully caught up but I'm curious why you guys think she finally opened up with songs like Fingertips and Kintsugi....what is she trying to capture or execute there? In one interview from this era, I remember her saying people were encouraging her to "explain herself"

     

    Norman after Lust For Life was a very drastic transition. Take into account Lust For Life was somewhat of a "commercial" album for her, or at least I personally think the intention was to capture those more "pop" leaning young listeners directly, with the imagery and the sound, as opposed to that of Honeymoon. 

     

    I can't verbalize it but every move after Norman makes sense to me, COCC, BB, DYK....it almost feels like she is closing a chapter. I thought about this the other day, after it hit that she was going to do a Country record, perhaps Did You Know served as the final chapter of the Lana Del Rey we know thus far, she did sign off at the end of the album afterall with TT X VB. I think this because the album just sounds very mournful yet healing and accepting. So it was so fascinating for me to read the "death" of Lizzy that occurred in 06. I wonder what ignited this transition. It would be cool if the sleuthing thread could try and dig deeper as opposed to just trying to chronologize her relationships.

    If Lana didn't went up there, they would be saying it was her being petty about Txylor Swift winning AOTY.

    I don't really see any of the albuns you mentioned being competition against Ocean , granted that i don't like " pop " with the exception of Lana and some classic acts. Midnights is run of the mill generic pop music, even the song she did with Lana is bad ( i said what i said )

    The Grammys award commercial success, and all of the other albums sold more and spawned big hits. Even if you think Ocean was better than them, it just couldn't compete. Plus, Taylor had too big of a year for anyone to think she was not walking away with her album wins.

    it's a strange little relationship when you think about it. Very unexpected. It's like a prissy grade A cheerleader hanging out with the drama school kid who smokes pot with the "freaks". I guess opposites attract.

     

    that said, taylor has good taste and she's clearly a very clever good businesswoman. If there's one ally you'd want in the music industry, it's her.

     

    btw any photos of miley and lana together? I wonder where their relationship is after angel. Is liley on ariana's side? Like what's happening with that?

     

    also we need a lana x quavo or migos collab assp! 

    I agree that it's a weird relationship. On paper, it makes total sense, but there are also somewhat stark contrasts of each other.

     

    But you're right, Taylor is a good ally to Lana and has used her platform to shout her out multiple times, so why are Lana fans getting online being petty and annoying about her losing nominations when the Grammys have always snubbed her?

    The think pieces about Taylor are embarrassing. This is not the first time Lana lost multiple Grammy nominations in one night. It's not Taylor's fault. Let's be real, Lana had little chance of winning ROTY & SOTY with such tough competition with Flowers, SOS, and Midnights all being commercial smashes. Her best bets were the Alternative nominations, but she lost those too. It's sad, but we can't place blame on Taylor. Lana is a grown woman, if she didn't really want to get on stage, she wouldn't have. She was probably supporting her friend. Lana knows very well she is an underdog even though I'm sure she really would like a win.

     

    But some of y'all are the same people who tried to convince yourselves Lana lowkey doesn't like Taylor so.....whatever I guess.

    Quick searching I did:

     

    While the record deal establishes ownership of and royalties paid on the recordings made by an artist for a record label, the publishing deal is all about exploiting the copyright in the songs themselves (ie, melodies and lyrics), and ensuring that the songwriter gets paid whenever they’re played on the radio, online or live in front of an audience.

    There are hundreds of publishing companies operating in the global music industry, spearheaded by the heavyweight likes of Kobalt, BMG and Warner/Chappell. No matter how big or small any given publisher is, though, they all serve the same purpose: maximising the income generated by their artists’ songs. As well as doing everything they can to get the original recordings of those songs licensed for public play as often as possible, this also means convincing other musicians to record and release cover versions of them, thereby multiplying the revenue stream.

     

    Someone who has more knowledge can confirm but I don't think this impacts anything really? Hopefully the group she is with now is good and can maybe get some more exposure for her.

    i don’t think she’ll go home empty-handed this time around. 
     

    A&W was too much of a critics darling not to win anything, so I see a Grammy for that one. Maybe best duo also for Candy Necklace. 
     

    OB for album of the year? Not so sure. :um2: It’s possible, it’s really an incredible one (plus they almost « owe » it to her after the NFR snub), but is it a strong enough album to win? Or they did campaign enough? I don’t know. 

    I agree, she got too many noms to go home empty handed so it’s safe to say at least 1 win is secured. 
     

    I have a hard time believing A&W will win given the other nominees to be fair. I feel like they will go with a safer option for that category but who knows. But just for the song to be nominated there alone is a huge win for her.

    I think Lana and Jon have a chance to win Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. :true:

    Istg, if this ends up her only win, I will personally assault one of the academy members. This is a threat.

    *ALSO*

    I am on the hunt for a user on here who I saw discussing Heavy Hitter lyrics a long time ago. I remember a specific comment regarding the alchemy lyric. Can one of you ID yourselves if you read this please? I'm very interested in the discourse I saw happening

    2023 was great for leaks. I feel like we got a lot of songs that really spoke to Lana's mindset at the time, which I thoroughly enjoy because I'm so fascinated and amazed by her.

     

    Melancholia

    Come With Me

    Madly

    Pink Champagne

    Crazy For You

    and so many more I'm missing

     

    But these songs definitely paint a clearer picture (for me at least) about what Lana felt and was going through. Imagine how GUTTED I was reading Come With Me lyrics for the first time! Wow, I really hate that for her. But she came out on top like we always knew she would.

     

    But yeah, this was such an iconic year for leaks. I mean the fact that we have Madly and Pink Champagne alone is completely earth shattering for me. But everything else???? We were really fed a buffet this year. So many beautiful beautiful songs I love them all so much

     

    And how could I forget California?!?!?! Hauntingly gorgeous and breathtaking....

    the lanaboards mentality that will never cease to amaze me is the collective fantasy that you convince yourselves will happen (i.e. in this case you said a leak will happen at page 111) with no confirmation or proof and you’re shocked, gagged and surprised when aformentioned fantasy inevitably does not happen :aubrey:
