shades of cool  the punch of the first chorus to the punch of the second chorus to the punch of the bridge to the punch of the little breath she takes before the final chorus 

 

Get Free 

It might be basic but shades of cool. I'd also die to experience listening swan song bridge for a second first time

Chemtrails Over The Country Club. The emotional reaction I had to this song is SO embarrassing 

The three songs that gave me the most chills when I first listened to them:
Honeymoon, Venice Bitch, and West Coast
 
also, and Chemtrails, as mentioned below

Too bad their relationship didn't work out. It was amazing how the paparazzi photos looked like scenes from romantic movies.

But apparently it was just a lot of sexual energy, not love. 

Y’all Lana is up very early. Maybe something is gunna happen today 

my mom was listening to her little 80's music playlist and she doesn't have spotify premium, so she has to listen to ads. imagine my surprise when DYKTTATUOB started playing, followed by "sad songs to cry to until you dehydrate" 

okay so idk who's gonna read this but the song finally clicked for me and this is my personal take on the meaning.
i saw someone on here talking about Lana singing often about beauty and youth, and listening to Ocean Blvd i can really see that.
when she opens the song with "Did u know...?"
almost like flipping through a photo album and telling us about this beautiful tunnel that not everybody knows about but that was once gorgeous and open for people to see, almost like someone showing you photos of when they were younger and telling you about what their life was like.
when she says "open me up tell me you like it" to me it's almost like "will you still love me when i'm no longer young and beautiful"
like time is passing but tell me that if you open me up you can still like me, i can still turn you on (fuck me to death)
and obviously the "don't forget me like the tunnel under ocean blvd" cause she knows time is passing but she's still trying to make herself worth of something, she's trying to show that she's still young and beautiful and doesnt wanna be forgotten cause she's still shining.
 
at the end of the day, she is the tunnel.
 
idk my take on it no one's gonna read this long ass post lmaooo
 

yes to heaven

evermore
Born To Die 
Stranger In The Alps 
Such Pretty Forks In The Road 
Ceremonials
 
These are a few of my favorite albums to listen to this time of year. They feel kinda dark and nostalgic, which fits the theme of the season for me. 

Without You
 
Everything I want, I have
Money, notoriety and rivieras
I even think I found God
In the flashbulbs of the pretty cameras
Pretty cameras, pretty cameras
Am I glamorous, tell me, am I glamorous?
Hello-hello, can-can you hear me?
I can be your China doll, if you wanna see me fall
Boy, you're so dope, your love is deadly
Tell me life is beautiful, they all think I have it all
I've nothing without you
All my dreams and all the lights mean
Nothing without you

I think it definitely has something to do with the themes of the album and it'll make more sense when we hear it
She was probably writing stuph for this album around the time she dated him and/or they broke up

I agree.  If it's a funny sarcastic "f*** you" kinda thing, ok.  But he's been married to someone else for awhile now. I just hope she's still not completely hung up on him and giving him that sort of power over her, and allowing him to take up so much space in her mind.  Obviously she's feeling some type of way if she had a billboard put up in Tulsa, of all places.  I just hope she's doing okay. I imagine that him marrying another woman was not easy for her to deal with.  

This man has three albums about him… He did her dirty in some way shape or form omg

this thread is HOT! again I thought we got more news or even just a crumb from boz 

The title track was a gift for the holidays
 
I'm sure we'll get some sort of visuals for the next track in the new year

I was also struck by Neil's description of the shoot:
 
"These photographs are a collection of scenes made in personal spaces where time ceased, and the muse arrived to guide the work"
 
This reminded me of Lana's process of automated songwriting to craft this album; searching for a timeless experience of aesthetic creation that lays outside of our consciousness. She's searching underneath the surface to reach her unconscious most vulnerable and authentic thoughts on this album
 
"We kept it analog, finite, and threw caution to the wind, with our approach of getting everything in one take" -> a culmination of everything she''s been trying to do since "Pretty When You Cry," "Black Bathing Suit," "Yosemite," and "White Dress."

So the concept of the album is her bedroom, with which Lana tries to make the relationship with her listeners even more intimate.  She asks direct questions, is half naked, shows her breasts (even if only as a drawing). Many of her selfies from this year now make more sense. Even her private Honeymoon account established a more intimate relationship with her fans, so maybe that already served as preparation for the new album.

I don’t think she’ll ever retire tbh and since she did not corner herself into a « singer that talks lots about sex » (like many pop girls do and that gets old real fast over time) and since she loves many different genres, she could go on for as much as she wants tbh. However, if she ever has children, the pace of her albums could slow down. Same if / when she tours again. Or if she embraces her poetry even more. 
i must say though that I’m very surprised that both BB and DYKTTATUOB have been released so fast: I really thought she needed a break after that Annie Mac interview the day the COCC title track was released. 

Can you imagine us in this forum in our 60s waiting for leaks of outtakes from LDR37 

"Candy Necklace" the new single available this Wednesday. 

Blue Banisters is actually a masterpiece in my opinion, if you can put the unreleased and outtakes aside (which tbf is something only the die hard fans would be aware of) and just look at it as a full body of work, it's seriously beautiful and it deserves more respect 

Hope is a dangerous thing but honestly I think we are. Lana dropped the mv for Blue Banisters a couple days before the album release, even though she posted those 3 songs in May. This era feels too special and the aesthetic is way to good for her not to make visuals 

I think she's definitely still hung up on him.
 
Only Billboard for the album being in Tulsa of all places. Song and album announced on his birthday.
Randomly popping up in his town to make an IG post while she's posted up by the billboard. 
Blue Banisters (song) was about him. Text Book, Chemtrails, Tulsa Jesus Freak... And now Ocean Blvd (song). 
 
I'm wondering if this will be an album about trying to get over him?
