big eyes is one of my favorite lana songs
 
although, i will say, the lyrics are kinda bad...

It's true that she has nothing left to prove, but I think she's so interested in singing and poetry that a "farewell" album is a long way off. Covering old classics is just an episode, something she's always wanted to do, but her true destiny lies in writing her own songs. Songs like Text Book, Blue Banisters or Wildflower Wildfire are the beginning of a new era and we will hear a lot more in this style on the next albums, maybe she will finally find her home in it.

Lana is the queen of movie soundtracks (Great Gatsby, Maleficent, Big Eyes, Age of Adaline), she should do more in this direction.

I absolutely love how we have all the BB demos (except LL) in CD quality:
Thunder (demo) - lossless
Cherry Blossom (3 demos) - lossless
Nectar of the Gods (demo) - lossless
+
Dealer, which's said to be the same as the final version, when it's released
 
We can even burn deluxe BB CDs with the demos, it's just so cool

They didn't survive the impact of Black Bathing Suit, all of our sisters are gone now, just like Instagram, Facebook and Whatsapp

If you want to keep the thread but not anger any passing deities that might be reading it, you could put a colon (:) at the end of the title and append the text "one person's masterpiece is another person's garbage". That's all you're really discovering in the thread. Not saying all the songs mentioned are considered masterpieces (by me), but a lot of them are (imo).
 
I'll make a comment about Burnt Norton. I don't think it should be scrapped, but I'm disappointed she didn't accept the challenge to write the background music for it (Keefus Ciancia is credited, according to the HM booklet). I mean it's OK as an introduction to Religion, but it would have been really interesting to me for her to write the background music, or more outrageously, turn it into a proper song (although, maybe the estate of T. S. Elliot wouldn't have allowed the latter).

I know this is unlikely & there’s little to suggest this, but I like the idea of Black Bathing Suit and White Dress potentially being sister songs. 
 
White Dress is a somber, almost regretful longing for her past; I think it would be interesting if BBS (considering the upbeat interlude leading into it) were the more positive, sentimental reflection on her youth, for example. 
 
Branching off of what another user mentioned a while back, I like toying with the concept of a more mature version of TIWMUG. I think it would have the potential to change the pace of the album a bit, but we’ll see!
 

I truly think Fine China and Loved You Then and Now should've made the tracklist. Put LYTAN after Violets for Roses and put FC after Cherry Blossom.
Naur cause the original title track not even making the album is embarrasing

In Arcadia, Arcadia
All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries
That pump the blood that flows straight to the heart of me
America, America
I can't sleep at home tonight, send me a Hilton Hotel
Or a cross on the hill, I'm a lost little girl
Findin' my way to you 
Arcadia
 
 
 

I agree. She's going nowhere but I called it a "farewell album" more in the sense that she ended a phase, from getting teared up everywhere for BTD to the critical acclaim of the last records while telling her story the way she always wanted to.
She's a workaholic and she loves crafting her art so I'm sure she's not stopping anytime soon.
Also this is all speculation. Maybe she's indeed releasing Bluer Banisters next 

The absence of social media does her good. I can also live with these fans/friends selfies only.
