Would like to have a video for Blue Banisters rather than another flopping single when the album is coming out.

She was the answer to the "internet generation", most of her fans stream her music on spotify and apple music, she had more ig followers than Oprah, Arsenal London or Gisele Bündchen. So I think social media is more important than anything else for her.

Sometimes I think Lana will come back to Instagram when she takes a bomb selfie and can't resist the urge to post it 

Sometimes I'm asking myself if she is really the type of person to wants to post such selfies or is it her management who urge her for promotion?

American - Like an american

Cherry - I fall to pieces

French Restaurant - If I can't have you

also we should have a topic discussing youtubers reactions to BB

Most of them are getting paid for that (google 'make money with reaction videos'), I don't think much of it.

Weekly album charts are somehow overrated, I think what really matters is how many copies are sold in a year or in a longer period of time.

More and more backuped ig images are disappearing from the official site, only some older are still available:

I don't really understand it.

If I had to rescue one song in each placement for the posterity:

1. Cruel World

2. Blue Banisters

3. Shades of Cool

4. Brooklyn Baby

5. High by the Beach

6. Gods and Monsters

7. Pretty When You Cry

8. Yosemite

9. California

10. The Next Best American Record

11. Summertime Sadness

12. Black Beauty

13. Living Legend

14. Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman like Me to Have – but I Have It

15. Lucky Ones

16. Get Free

From the random songs I heard so far:

1. Angels Forever, Forever Angels
2. BBM Baby
3. Be My Daddy
4. Boom Like That
5. French Restaurant
6. Go Go Dancer
7. Yes to Heaven

I don't know if someone is playing Ukulele, but just found this:

Such posts have much more value now than before.

You can hear her music in different ways depending in which mood or state you are. For example in Arcadia everytime I listen to I notice different things: the slow falling chorus and outro, the smoothly brass and strings, her warm soft voice, the overall melancholy. Sometimes I wish I could hear her songs for the first time again!

Has anyone heard the song already on the radio?

she literally said the video was directed by nobody

 

I actually like the video and the filming, the effects not that much

I think her videos need no special effects either, but in this case it was a good stylistic device projecting L.A. pictures (in warm colors) onto her body. This is a special song, she had never made such an emotional ballad and the effects aided to intensify emotions.

It was amateurish, but not in a nice way

 

Maybe some takes look so, but only because Lana wanted it in this way, she was directing the video.

more reasons i think she's moving besides the passports, arcadia lyrics, and edge of paradise photo: the UhaulJoe account she used to share the hope video may have been a hint since you use a uhaul to move. chuck saying their song makes her cry maybe because she is leaving.even though someone said they think she isn't leaving LA because her dad just moved there, but maybe he moved there to help out with the baby because big sis is leaving

After the final part of the Arcadia video everything is clear to me: she's moving to Mexico, becoming a drug dealer (we have the hints "Yayo", "Heroin", "Dealer", Mafiosiprincess), her new persona is a baddie with dark hair and sunglasses and she will make some sort of Latin/Trap music. *g*

Chuck and Charlie are bad at their craft. Amateurish. Year after year, mediocrity.

I don't see this. Charlies camera work for Arcadia for example was a very good job.

why are y'all believing this random ass blog? am I missing something?

especially if the disclaimer says the site contains fiction and "products of author's imagination"

I think a bundle of even excellent songs doesn't make a good album yet. It depends on how they are arranged and fit together.
