Alison by Slowdive

i was just thinking about how how to murder your life might actually parallel a lot of lana's early experiences or at least give insight to how her experiences might have been... it's my favourite trashy drug addiction memoir of all time by former conde nast beauty editor cat marnell <3 it's incredibly readable! she went to boarding school in MA and went to college in NYC in the early 2000s (like lana), and i feel like it was such a singular time - i loveeee reading about the club culture and nightlife in new york in the early 2000s - it's so fun lol

spencer it might be too soon but i am sure it will be one of my forever favourites. i forgot to mention clouds of sils maria in my list too; pachelbel's canon fuck me up!!!!!!!!!

i'd also be here for more hey blue baby imagining another acoustic-driven sirens

I want a sound like Come When You Call Me America Tell me a story, daddy

this game again dec or early 2022?

once again manifestingngghjgf please i need lana's interpretations of iconic songs desperately

i would use "" ALL THE TIME

swan song vs this is what makes us girls

Tulsa Jesus Freak is my top song followed by Wildflower Wildfire My top artists: 1. Lana 💖💘 2. The Doors 3. Alice Coltrane 4. Neil Young 5. The Highwaymen

Right idk how to express this well and I feel like I need to be careful - it’s confusing bc there are some incredible lyrics on bb but then there are a few lyrics that seem like half-thoughts or like they were written very quickly? I do love the kind of improv one-take style in songs like pretty when you cry and white dress but I prefer when it’s obvious and I def don’t really like it when it’s the writing rather than the song itself that seems one-take? I just really like when she “tries” and her lyrics are so precise and intentional and well-expressed, like text book’s (and the vast majority of her work, including that on bb!)

life is beautiful vs lift ur eyes

life is beautiful vs swan song

it's giving miami rivendell riviera girls

ldr9 is alive and breathing if we say it is

once again i am manifesting magical lyricism like oh say can you see

life is beautiful vs valley of the dolls

the last third of this song is one of my most favourite things on earth

producers: david kahne, dan auerbach, and nigel godrich lol themes: projections and sex symbols and elvis and dreams and paradise being a hell-coloured flame sky sound: ambient and jazz-infused glam metal. Lana Del Ray but even harder and softer

umm bb version's of thunder rly was made for dysfunctional families during the holiday season - it is just perfect against the backdrop of a tense dining table and bubbling violence

is this why u got banned

manifesting a surprise christmas release of a cover of harry nilsson's 'coconut' followed by a surprise leak of coconut and key lime pie

manifesting don't stop is lana's answer to miley's we can't stop

i was so young but i remember like... not even questioning it? i remember listening to west coast's release on a bus one night and it was the best thing i'd ever heard, just like all of BTD had been BTD and paradise had already been such a unique blend of genres so although the rock influences on west coast were new, i really don't remember it feeling surprising/jarring/confusing etc.
