Pale Moonlight

this album is shaping up to be a honeymoon 2.0 in the sense that all of the ballads are sonically and lyrically gorgeous. i hope she has a few more really strong ballads (including the ones we heard) along with some slow bops (a la freak and art deco). i really hope she goes that direction, honeymoon is my fave lana album. 

Something about the already released singles, the snippet, and rumoured songs (Thunder & Cherry Blossom) are getting me sooo excited for this album! There is something magical about every one of these songs and I can truly feel how full-of-life they sound. I’m beyond ready for whatever Lana has for us!! 

I imagine that she would have wanted to re-record Cherry Blossom. It was produced in 2013 with Fabrizio Argiolas, and I don’t know if the recording that leaked would necessarily be cleared for official release, since the credits surrounding it seem to be so up-in-the-air with Fabrizio’s status as producer. I also think she would want a more recent recording - rather than one from over 8 years ago - for consistency reasons. I can’t wait to hear how it sounds on the record! 

Now that I think about it, Lana posted the Cherry Blossom lyrics like 2 days after releasing Chemtrails so maybe that was the unreleased insiders were talking about when we first got info about the album and thunder was added later. But by boz posts it looks like Cherry Blossom was confirmed recently so the timeline is confusing af 

I have a new favorite Lana lie: "Just a selphie"

Omg how cute!! Congrats!  I’m taking this as confirmation that both Thunder & Cherry Blossom are officially on the album!

CHERRY BLOSSOM ON YOUR SYCAMORE TREE
WHAT YOU DON'T TELL NO ONE, YOU CAN TELL ME

This photoshoot is going to kill me. It's giving me HM + Chemtrails photoshoot's vibes 

what font is that? i need to remake the single covers and replace them bc.

i'm just glad that king neil got his deserved main album cover spot, no more urban outfitters exclusive alternatives!

My fav cover since UO alt honeymoon alt cover. One of her top 3

My body is a map of LA
I stand straight like an angel
With a halo
Hanging out the Hilton hotel window screaming
"Hey, baby, let's go"
My chest, the Sierra Madre
My hips every high and byway
That you trace with your fingertips like a Toyota
Run your hands over me like a Land Rover
 
In Arcadia
Arcadia
All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries
That pump the blood that flows straight to the heart of me
America
America
I can’t sleep at home tonight, send me a Hilton Hotel
Oh, across on the hill, I’m a lost little girl, finding my way to you
Arcadia
 
My body is a map of LA
and my heart is like paper, I hate you
I’m not from the Land of the Palm
So I know I can’t stay here, I’m not native, but
My curves, San Gabriel, all day
My lips like the fire licks the bay
If you think that you know yourself
You can come over
Lay your hands on me like you're a Land Rover
 
In Arcadia
Arcadia
All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries
That get the blood flowing straight to the heart of me
America
I need a miracle
I can’t sleep at home tonight, send me a Hilton Hotel
Oh, across on the hill, I’m a lost little girl, finding my way to you
Arcadia
 
They built me up three hundred feet tall
Just to tear me down
So I’m leaving with nothing but laughter in this town
Arcadia
Finding my way to you
I’m leaving them as I was, five foot eight
Western belle plus the hate that they gave
By the way, thanks for that 
On the way I’ll pray for you
But you’ll need a miracle
America

The banisters in the cover art are unpainted because he never came back to help her paint them blue.

Guys i put the cover over the singles and i swear they sound better than they did before...  

I just listen to the snippet 4 times in a raw and then I went back to the three singles plus "thunder" and the album is sounding so good so far.

The line "My body is a map of L.A" is so iconic already.

Lana has done so much for her wikifeet fandom this era  Anyways, I've been thinking about tracklists lately and I definitely want 15. I think it's the perfect number because with too many tracks, the album can drag on. But with too little tracks, then the album is super short (especially when we might already have 3-5 songs from it) 

she looks stunning in the cover, seriously beautiful. niel just captures her so perfectly every time, really happy with it... although i could do without the border 

JAIL my 13th reason…

This post makes me want to die

It’s obviously way too soon to tell, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Blue Banisters competes with NFR! as far as critical acclaim goes. 
 
I’m really anticipating the record to be her most mature work to date, but I could see it being divisive among her casual fans because it may not be packed with “bangers.” We’ll see!

i really want this to be longer than 14 tracks
