Alison by Slowdive

rip d-word im a few hours too late and now i have to wait for the songs' official release

worst taste indeed

i literally don't know a single song of lana's that isn't a serve

i'm not v familiar w this stuff but the link to for bb single is "bluebanistersWE" (https://lana.lnk.to/BlueBanistersWE) - what does "WE" mean? is it normal to add onto a single?

I Talk To Jesus vs Oh Say Can You See

Color Blue vs Wild One

i really want lana to fix up her spotify page this era so it better reflects her style and interests i would DIEEEE if she created a playlist of her favourite songs or what she's been listening to/inspired by lately and like... this is a v small detail but her twitter profile pic isn't centred lana do u want a FREE intern? ill do it!!!!

Mermaid Motel (demo) vs Yayo (AKA version)

I always thought it was: "most men don't want a woman with a legacy at our age"

Honeymoon vs Riverside

it can n it will. manifest arcadia's release this week right now

LA Who Am I

I think she just compares those people to birds of paradise for whatever reason - paradise (or heaven) is something Lana often sings about and it often has multiple meanings - for instance, she might be trying to paint people like Amy Winehouse as a heavenly creature. People like Amy was never able to "fly" (continue to live) because she was "caught up in the dance" (the dance being with drugs or abusive men or mental illness, etc)

so these are the lyrics of the pre-chorus: This is my commitment My modern manifesto I'm doing it for all of us Who never got the chance For... and for... And all my birds of paradise Who never got to fly at night Cause they were caught up in the dance I think Lana is saying she is doing "it" for those who never got the chance, i.e. the greats who unfortunately died young (Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, etc.). Then she says they "never got the chance" because "they were caught up in the dance" - this probably means they got consumed by something whether that be fame, or drugs, etc. I was just reading on Genius that at a concert when she sang this song live, she sang "cause they were caught up in the dance of cruel romance". I don't think the dance is something positive but more dangerous and addicting and difficult to escape.

@bornfree let's discuss the lyrics here, if you like!

y are u literally the sweetest most helpful user here

suddenly i'm offline

this is me warning yall that lana better release arcadia this week or i will feel not great

it's just people constantly lazily lumping all female artists into digestible categories

agreed! and i really dislike whenever lana's music is described as "sadcore" - it is such a shallow way of understand her music and also quite misogynist tbh - she's just a woman singing about a whole range of experiences and emotions i don't think this is true

lana's singing style is noothing like billie eilish's. lana enunciates and projects v well

and this is one of my favourite songs of all time

the radio dept is my favourite band of all time

except when lana does it, it's literally so pure

omg i just saw u got banned
