this reminds me of Midnights somehow:

Here's my extended version of BB with songs she might refer to in each song: Text Book Ol'Man River - Howard Keel Blue Banisters Ladies of the Canyon - Joni Mitchell Diamonds And Rust - Joan Baez Arcadia You're Lost Little Girl - The Doors Interlude - The Trio Il triello - Ennio Morricone Black Bathing Suit If You Lie Down With Me Three Times A Lady - Commodores Beautiful Violets for Roses Violets for Your Furs - Billie Holiday Dealer Thunder Mr. Brightside - The Killers Catch the Wind - Donovan Wildflower Wildfire Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Lithium - Nirvana Nectar Of The Gods Honey Of The Vine - Matt Monro Living Legend Cherry Blossom Sweet Carolina

From her songwriting, it definitely is. Did you know it resembles Joni Mitchell's song "Ladies of the Canyon," where every verse is about one of Joni's friends?

Blue Banisters (Annotated version) (extended by the songs to which she might refer in each song (according to genius.com)) Text Book Ol'Man River - Howard Keel Blue Banisters Ladies of the Canyon - Joni Mitchell Diamonds And Rust - Joan Baez Arcadia You're Lost Little Girl - The Doors Interlude - The Trio Il triello - Ennio Morricone Black Bathing Suit If You Lie Down With Me Three Times A Lady - Commodores Beautiful Violets for Roses Violets for Your Furs - Billie Holiday Dealer Thunder Mr. Brightside - The Killers Catch the Wind - Donovan Wildflower Wildfire Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd Lithium - Nirvana Nectar Of The Gods Honey Of The Vine - Matt Monro Living Legend Cherry Blossom Sweet Carolina

I heard the full version on the radio yesterday

new music friday and no video, I saw it coming

This randomly found article on grammy.com yesterday surprised me https://www.grammy.com/news/everything-about-lana-del-rey-new-album-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-under-ocean-blvd

In the radio version the "Fuck me to death" line was changed to "Love me to death"

I heard it yesterday at the very beginning of a radio show You're right, she sings "Love me to death"!

Does Neil's latest insta story reveal that we're getting a hand filmed video or is it just a birthday post?

the "deep breath" at the beginning ... I hope it has something to do with the video, for example that she visits this abandoned tunnel and a mystical breeze comes out of the entrance

Aka will always be her debut album, even if her major label doesn't like it

Best analysis I've read, I think it says everything!

I just stumbled across this (they call themselves Swiftologist):

I think we have to move the Album/EP discussion to a new "Unpopular Lana Facts" thread

it was officially released and it's "her" studio album, not that of the label also Lanapedia says it: https://lanadelrey.fandom.com/wiki/Lana_Del_Ray_(album)

for me it is at the moment because I don't want to listen to anything else. I think it's her best and most poignant single since Love, although Arcadia impressed me a lot too.

Found the song today on Spotify's Chill Pop playlist (spot 1) with almost 1.8 million followers

So the song is basically about the fear of death and being lonely and deserted and forgotten like this tunnel?

Lenin, not Lennon, her communist era ...

the song deserves a great MV

Her last songs and albums were all great ... you just have to feel it the right way.

I hope they shot the MV in the real tunnel, I can well imagine how it would look, starting in black and white with Lana dressed as on the cover exploring the tunnel, and finally it turns to color when the chorus comes in
