Alison by Slowdive

I genuinely hope Lana and Clay are okay. I hate to imagine Lana suffering through another heartbreak. The supposed correlation between heartbreak and good music is not worth it if it means she feels even the tiniest amount of pain   

Ugh loved this genius title so much!!! Bitch! Fuck! 
 
Seriously tho, this title could still be relevant to LDR8; the birds = the drama and chaos surrounding her career, spoiling her American Dream... 

JUSTICE FOR BIRD WORLD!!!

ooooooff if so then im assuming we're getting party lana which is even better then we can't lose 

. . . so. u know why she was laying all that baggage out bare rite? not for us. but for clayton. it was a test. did he pass? we'll find out. i think he did. 

i have a feeling that ldr8 (it feels weird not saying blue banisters) will be the unexpected electric guitar synth magnum opus we've all been anticipating...

YES U GET IT 

when she says "so i turn, but i learn" right before the drums when the dreamy synths kick in... beautiful, a moment of ascension 

Her ig post. She was trying to give us a hint by posting the shoes 3 times
GLITTER BOWS ON MY FEET coming JULY 4 2021 

the album cover:
 

well the award for most confusing era officially goes to this one like we’re 3 and half weeks away from the release and we don’t even know the fucking title of the album 

„Do you like my selphie now?“ 

Dealer isn’t on the album, we all know that 
Anyway I’m glad “Blue Banisters” isn’t the title

Good God would be a great title 
@heroinmelodies came up with it 
 
Also would love " The Revenge Of Lana Del Rey " as a title
Edit: oop just saw someone else came up with that as well  
 
 

blackoutzone should spill the tea on the scrapped songs, their sound, even their titles... WE NEED TO SHAKE THE TABLE! 

She's not supposed to be fun, unpredictable and entertaining for you either, let her live.

In this is what makes us girls she sang that her old friends were the only friends she’s ever known. Maybe that’s what has happened, and why she sings about them. Like she said in DTWD “but God it feels great not to be alone”
 
the friends she’s made have made a huge impact on her, and I’m sure (given how BB gives a shoutout to all of her sisters) that will be a big theme of this album

Completely agree w this. WW's lyrics, compared to the other two, were so jarring and unsettling to me (probably because I could relate lol ) and for Lana to be so vulnerable and generous enough to share with people that she struggles or did struggle with emotion regulation was huge. I guess it almost doesn't matter to me what the production then sounds like if the songwriting is as brutally honest as in WW 
 
(though I think it actually all works brilliantly together: the lyrics paint a story of learning how to navigate emotional extremes and the production mirrors it - and i see the production towards the end as obviously chaotic and "on fire" but, probably through the steady drum pattern, it still feels like there is an attempt to keep it balanced and controlled) 

“Lana do something”

It’s possible she’s constantly debating quitting because she can’t handle fame but never does because she is so passionate about her work. Even between AKA and BTD when her career seemed to be going nowhere, she was constantly making music. And now she has the opportunity to release her music for the world and to support herself that way and she shouldn’t have to give up her privacy and safety and peace of mind just to create songs and make a living off of that. Yeah, I know, it’s a trade off, but it doesn’t mean it’s fair or that she just accepts it with a smile. Plus even if she did quit, the cat’s already out of the bag, everyone knows who she is. She wouldn’t even be able to have a personal social media page or live her life in peace. Fans would still stalk her and harass her. They wouldn’t just forget she existed. So if she can’t ever have true freedom or safety again, why should she give up her passion? Would it not make more sense to just put out music on her own terms and still get to write and sing and support herself that way? Because the life she’s living at the moment, kinda low key, hanging out with her friends, is likely the exact same life she’d be living if she quit music, including having fans running into her all the time. She’d never escape that unless she lived in disguises all the time and nothing’s stopping her from already doing that if she wanted to. Like Joni Mitchell “quit” after pretty much every album but she’d end up writing so much and wouldn’t even get the privacy she longed for, so she’d always come back. Sometimes quitting just isn’t worth it even if you hate fame and your fans.

Us right now 

Ben seems to be happy with her, just read the interview he gave a few months ago or the comments he leaves on IG. She definitely has her manager's approval and works together with them. 

The way some of you still think Lana is lazy and working without Ben's approval
