I don't know if anyone has found this out yet, because I know there was still some debate a while back, but did anyone else realize "Aberdeen" is Kurt Cobain's hometown?

Yeahh, it's "hit and run the world". I knew it was that before I even checked this thread, because I have a basic sense of hearing. After listening to the song more times it obviously becomes clear taking into account the theme of the song, "on a spree taking over," "wanna be a soldier".
 
I just don't even understand reasoning for anything but.

She mentions Nirvana in a lot of her songs. As with most of her references, I think it's symbolic of a feeling or something bigger than her literally going there. 

How have I not known about this, I love Heavy Hitter...         (literally cannot put enough of these rn) 
 
Thanks for the info Jamessss. <3

That is the fakest thing I have ever read.

seems like some of y'all wanted a picture of Lana in a black witch costume glaring whilst stirring a cauldron and perched on a broomstick in outer space
 
as for the cover - I think I'm going to really like it - I love how she's so happy in it and I didnt have the immediate visceral reaction of disgust that I did with the HM cover
 
also I love the use of her vintage LDR logo - im relieved she didn't use the shit font that was in the Love cover

lmao y'all are really so fucking obsessed with Halsey tho

I don't think its very like O2 Priority to just announce like on the dot that they have pre-sale ... maybe its been pushed back?

Well you're not wrong about the Nepotism... But maybe this time around she might redeem herself and we might be surprised.

When ever someone accuses you of something you automatically say, "sorry bout it."

Really like it at first listen. I saw this somewhere and was like for sure it's fake, but it's real! It's enough to make you go crazy. 
 
New era begins!

Maybe because Eclipse didn't give it to anyone lol?

I hear "I would do anything for you and me"

I mean, I guess I can understand her perspective...but trying to feign feminism while including some sort of implication she should off herself?
 

Off of just the initial listen in store and replaying some snippets I had put on my story (so not listening to the full song more than once) -

God Knows I Tried
Honeymoon

Terrence Loves You
Freak
Swan Song
Art Deco
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
 
This will most definitely change after I listen to the HQ audio when it's released.

SOMEONE hasn't fallen in love for the first time.
 
 
 

we're going to become the mentally ill thread..

Breathing? Knowing the singer is alive totally takes me out of it. Fucking Auerbach.
 
 

Oh weird that people didn't know this. Like I always heard L.A, L.A and thought the whole song was about L.A. Like...L.A was where she lost her innocence. It was the land of gods and monsters. Weird. 

Lana's whole life nowadays amounts to she's either damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.
 
It's pretty sad, to say the least. I get people are not into the nihilistic self-destruction elements of Lana's work, to each their own. But at the same time, I kinda detest to the whole "EVERYTHING SHE WRITES ABOUT IS ABOUT THIS" spiel because, well, just as much of her unreleased music says that's not the case. I just personally find it ironic that Lana's every critic's go-to for "We don't mind if anyone else does it, except her" schools of thought. Whether or not it's intentional, I don't know. I just feel like people tend to spot sensitive people who are in the limelight and take advantage of it.
 
I could name probably more than a handful of artists and an even larger number of songs not from Lana that have romanticized self-destruction just as much, and the criticism barely exists. And if it does, it's like "Wow, they push the envelope but it's fantastic!" I think that fuels my sympathy for Lana a lot more than just because I love her. She doesn't catch a break for doing what many musicians have done/written about. Yes, I'll admit that Lana's interviews, particularly during the UV-era, were really controversial, but it's how she felt. The lot of these criticisms really just seem to revolve around invalidating her feelings and experiences as much as possible.
 
I heard somewhere that sometimes we need to stop explaining ourselves so much because the people who love and care about us, don't need an explanation; and the people that don't love or care about us, don't want to hear one anyway. It kinda applies here; none of these people care enough about Lana to want an explanation anyway.
 
I really have no other comment on this. I'm not even Lana and I'm offended by how debasing and brutal this statement is at its core. And that last bit was just absolutely appalling.
 
I'm not even going to get into that mess of a contradiction in regards to the feminism statement. I'm just not even going to get into this at all. This was just sad; I try to avoid reading scathing bullshit like this because it makes me feel bad for the person it happens to, and I regret reading it in the first place. I'm really feeling for Lana more than I did when she got all that backlash around the BTD era. I just hope that Lana can brush this off if/when she finds out about it, because this is anything but a humane exhibition of compassion and concern. It's intentional vehemence.

OMG YES FINALLY we have every standard track instrumentals thank you!
