Now if she announces she's actually bi I'm throwing myself out of the fckn window Let a girl dream

WCE debuting with 1.7 million streams and being her 2nd biggest solo debut on spotify without the episode even being out AND the soundtrack supervisor telling Vogue UK that the song is perfect for euphoria and we’ll see why tomorrow… when when she gets nominated for the emmy then what? 
 
 

Especially if it's used in an important scene. Hopefully it's not used in Cal's backstory.

Euphoria is the most popular show right now. Predicting this song to skyrocket tomorrow after it airs.

With the help of Watercolor Eyes, Lana was the 10th most streamed female artist on Spotify yesterday

you're obsessed with the version of LDR that's in your head, and being demanding of what she "needs" to do in her carreer isn't going to change the fact that she's more herself than ever – whether you like it or not.

i am the number one high register defender, she sounds beautiful and nobody can tell me nothing 

not to be that person, but 100% instantly
one of my favourites..the feelings and places I’m brought back to while listening..there’s just something about a song that can make me think of the sweet and not so sweet things

possible unpopular opinion…
 

Euphoria "Watercolor Eyes" i just made 
 

It’s just so mind boggling to me that someone could still be so attached to Born To Die for whatever reasons and still expect a recycling of that sound and aesthetic 10 years down the road of an artist who is well known for completely changing her sound from album to album. Even Norman and Chemtrails (which many cite as similar) had crucial differences between them (the former being a harrowing, dazzling surf rock look at a dying America/falling culture, the latter being a quite more introspective, neo-folk incursion into a desire in escaping to a simpler reality, where fame doesn’t exist).
 
Over the course of 10 years and 8 albums, Lana has given us an all-changing variety of soundscapes and concepts, always evolving and maturing as a singer and songwriter. To ask  or expect her to return to previous eras and/or sonorities is completely negating and ignoring how much her writing, singing, producing and melody arranging has changed throughout the years. She’s not the same person as she was in 2011 - and she has explicitly affirmed she has no intention to.
 
It’s absolutely fine to not love or support this album. Like, whatever. I myself dislike Arcadia and most of the fandom seems to love it - different opinions are bound to happen within any given fandom or corner of art criticism and consumption. Just don’t put your views and perspectives on a pedestal to the point of becoming condescending and pretentious. They’re absolutely useless and detrimental to the healthy and constructive conversations that can be born from our differences. We’re not 13 anymore, fucking hell.

The album got more streams in it's 4th day than Chemtrails did and received 5,339,181 streams yesterday. Of course it's not as high as the streams of other artists, but that's not what matters at all. It's not "tanking" (and even if it was, who cares?). Generally, I don't know why you're so obsessed with the fact that Lana's numbers aren't as high as they were in past eras. Streams don't equal quality, which kind of feels like what you're trying to say. And about Dealer trending, it literally just started getting popular a few days ago, so obviously it's not as big as other viral Lana songs. It's fun to celebrate when Lana does well in her numbers, but that shouldn't be the focus of being a fan. You should be a fan because you enjoy the music. 

This sounds really narrow-minded. Blue Banisters surely isn't what makes us the fans of her like today, but it's what keeps us stay and keeping up with her, love her more for sure.
And you are actually thinking that Blue Banisters doesn't find its way to new fans for real? "Dealer" is currently trending on tiktok

and I don't want to be a debbie downer, @The Love Witch, but once an artist gets older and begins to receive more acclaim and recognition for their abilities as a songwriter, they very rarely go back to the sound of the old days. They usually continue exploring and experimenting in that same universe. I love that you love those records, so I hope you continue to cherish those albums!

Very much disagree, both on a lyrical and musical basis. Sorry that you aren't enjoying the folkier sound.

I’m just not 14-16 anymore and don’t relate to her older albums like I used to. I like her evolution and think BB and NFR showcases her strongest singer songwriter capabilities.
 
ALSO Blue Banisters has dealer so instant #1 for me

I love you but Worst Taste 4.0 

Okay I'm still trying to recover from my first listen of the album, especially since I was utterly destroyed by the final song, but I just want to say now that this is one of her best records to date. There's not a single song where I felt ehhh about - and while finding an “eh” song is already rare with LDR records for me actually, every song on this record is just otherworldly. I want to give the whole project a few more listens throughout the next day before I come back to share my final thoughts, but wow... she really did that x

Okay, completely bawling my eyes out after Sweet Carolina. Seriously, crying like a baby right now, so I'm fighting back tears as I write this.
 
This is probably a bit personal for me to share, but I spoke about it a little bit ago last month when I shared a GoFundMe link for something regarding this.
 
At the beginning of this year in January, one of my best friends announced an unexpected pregnancy with her fiancé. Our friends & I were surprised, but told her we were there to support her through every step.
As a bridesmaid, I watched her walk beautifully down the aisle to marry her husband in June, knowing their baby would be shortly on the way. Was fighting back tears then too. (& didn't do a very good job at it based on the pictures.)
I then got to attend her baby shower in August, reveling in her excitement and nervousness. I even helped her set up the crib afterwards. She was so scared, not feeling completely prepared, but she was so excited for her new child.
She gave birth to her lovely baby boy on August 28th after a 48-hour labour. A perfectly healthy baby. She was so happy and we were all happy for her, and it was the beginning of a new chapter.
I don't even know how to write this next part, again as I'm still crying here, but her son unfortunately passed away just 9 days later in her arms suddenly from SIDS. She had texted me in the middle of the night about it as her son was airlifted to the hospital.. not really having much hope from the doctors.. until he was eventually declared braindead.
It was like the world had completely shattered in front of all of our eyes.
Some friends flew in for the funeral, and seeing her once more walk down an isle.. this time completely heartbroken and empty inside.. I don't think anything has ever broken my heart more.
The first time I saw her since the funeral was two weeks ago when her, her sister, and I went up to the mountains for a little birthday celebration for me. She was laughing and having fun, showing a little of that old side of her joyous self that had been completely wiped away after the tragedy she faced. 
I love her so much, and this song makes me think of her.
 
We love every hair on your head
Love you like God loves you
& you say that you're scared
Might be unprepared for havin' the baby blues
Baby blues
Baby blues
If things ever go wrong
Just know this is your song and we love you
 

I love you, M x
 
 

When was the last time we were ALL this happy? This album is something else I'm telling you 

I'm sorry I have to be honest, this may be my favorite LDR
 
Floored
 

I'll just say it.
Blue Banisters is my favorite Lana album.
It feels like the curation of a poetry collection that we've never seen before and echoes her entire career, maybe even sacrifices the older versions of herself to some extent. Long gone are the visions of grandeur, Los Angeles illusions, the obsession, and what we have is a stripped Lana that's not only her most authentic but confessional. Her focus here is simple but chaotic, poetic but nonlinear. It's what you see is what you get.The songs she wrote throughout that never saw the daylight (Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend) are here and I truly believe she always wanted to release music like this. Perhaps, she knew that she would one day. So, on that note, Blue Banisters is the beginning of something really new and, as a fan who saw her in January 2013 at an intimate Soho House NY performance for the first and throughout her career (18 times), I feel extremely moved and proud of her for the steps she's taking in her music.

She is a woman with grace and strength. I'm proud to say I'm a fan til this day.

My general impressions about the album

Checking in on LanaBoards while I’m on holiday to see that BB leaked..  thank u to my poor mods who are working overtime while I guiltily frolic around New York skkk x

the way this album is going to be an absolute cultural reset y'all who haven't listen-- y'all aren't ready
