Jeanne Dielman

random useless info but I just saw BB will drop on the 12th year anniversary of this event where she performed boarding school and yayo and apparantely also met ben and ed
 

 
 
edit: that was 12 years ago not 11 luv
 

Huh? Do you guys mean that the songs changed on Apple music again? If I remember correctly, there were mentions that they were more polished/altered a week ago but have they been altered again?
 
I'm a Spotify slut but I guess this has to change. 

I listen to all 4 of the singles constantly The personal details of the first 3 singles actually makes me want to listen to them more rather than less. But I’m a Tori Amos fan so 

idk if it's a stretch but 'blue banisters' makes me think of stairway to heaven, but grounded in (a sometimes dismal and painful) reality. it's almost like we're in her home and she's inviting us upstairs, deeper into her heart  the album title has grown on me so much precisely because of how it evokes an image of an interior of a home, which is such appropriate imagery for an album that is so personal and confessional

UV always gave me summer vibes, but not the ocean air in your hair golden sun soft on your skin kind of summer (like NFR ), but more like scorching hot sun burning off your skin in the middle of the desert while nursing a heat stroke kind of summer. it's an imagery that i subconsciously associate with uv to the point where i'm unable to enjoy it during the winter. 

I already associate this album so autumn so heavily. I tend to assign each Lana album a season, and I think she picked the perfect date for BB's vibe. Here's what I think of for each album:
 
Winter - Ultraviolence, Lust For Life
Spring - Honeymoon, Chemtrails
Summer - Norman, Paradise, AKA 
Autumn - Born To Die, Blue Banisters 
 
(although honestly you really could put every album under summer lol)

Black Bathing Suit: Boz said that it's fun to see how excited people are for this track; he'll stay quiet because we have to look forward to something until the album's release. @lustforlife said that the track is an "invite" and will surprise us a lot. Make of it what you will. 
If You Lie Down With Me: -
Beautiful: according to lustforlife, it has surf rock influences.
Violets for Roses: according to lustforlife, it's about a toxic relationship, breaking up and healing.
Sweet Carolina: again, according to lustforlife, it's a very emotional track, a personal favourite on the album and an even better closer than hope is dangerous thing...). 
 

bbs will be a huge surprise for everyone y'all

 

I traded Violets for Roses   

Thank you 
I hope that all of it is true. It sounds so interesting & makes me super excited for the album ..October 22nd hurry up 

I like UV, but it's nowhere near her best albums. It's not that good lyrically, the sound is amazing tho, but the tracklist wasn't well-structured and she made some real CHOICES while chosing which songs would make the cut and which not. I wish she had sticked with that 2013 acoustic/pure grunge rock sound with songs like UFB, Flipside, Cherry Blossom, Nectar of the Gods, Heart Shaped Box, Living Legend, Your Girl, Cruel World, Pretty When I Cry and Angels Forever

UV’s highs are incredible and it used to be my favourite Lana album, but now it’s among my least: CW is far too long; the title track is a beautiful melody overwhelmed by an overcrowded production and inconsistent lyrics; BB is lyrically embarrassing, as with FMWUTTT and PWIC - overall the lyrics on this album are her weakest, which is a pity because I want to love this album, it’s sonically among her best.

Not All Who Wander are Lost is so gorgeous. I hope we get more tracks in the same vein down the line. 
 
One of lana's more under-appreciated works for sure

Arcadia is now in the top 5 of her most popular songs on Spotify! Something that none of the three previous singles achieved.

I appreciate that!
I get what you mean, I guess Arcadia is a beautiful sounding title and it does have the name of destination, but I personally don't think it suits the direction of the album - to me I feel like CoCC could've been called Arcadia.
If Blue Banisters wasn't a title track I wouldn't think it would make much sense but given that it is the title track, I feel like it's given a lot more context to why it's the album title. It talks about establishment, something being constructed and altered. It exists in a pre-existing form as well as a current form and an intended future form. (harking back to that "what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now" phrase she was talking about)
I find there's something homely about the title Banisters, it's like a symbol of support on an upward climb, the fact she's talking about a journey seems to reinforce that idea of a climb. And in the song it represents how she thought she needed a man to paint her banisters but instead it was the friends and family she needed instead, almost like they're helping her climb this huge mountain in front of her as opposed to this man who will only help her if she agrees to obey him.
Even the cover artworks make sense with BlueBanisters, the photo of her solely with Tex and Mex assumably in front of her banisters, the dramatic side-profile looking upwards to a higher place and the JohnDeere photo referenced in BB. 

Idk, I think the title track of this record is one of her more abstract and contemplative songs to date. At the end of the song, we see the blue banisters changing colors, possibly representing the place she is today or the place she wants to be, where the women and friends in her life uplift her from the state of sadness she was once in. 
 
Yeah, pretty much what @Super Movie said.

Blue Banisters being the album title makes a lot of sense when you listen to the song and the lyrics. They feel very representative of Lana's life/the place she's in right now. Plus, there's references to her family and friends in the song, which seems to make it special to her.

I much prefer Blue Banisters as an album title. Given the fact that many of the songs so far touch more deeply into her personal history, the name Blue Banisters has more personal, homely resonance to me than Arcadia does. 

i honestly really like the "blue banisters" album title, since it seems like it's very symbolic & meaningful, even if it doesn't seem like it if you haven't heard the title track, although i will say, i think "arcadia" would've been a fabulous album title as well  

Just like Honeymoon was a synthesis of Born to Die's Old Hollywood imagery and Ultraviolence's emotional devastation, Blue Banisters will be a synthesis of Norman Fucking Rockwell's emotional connection to its listeners while exploring the singer-songwriter poetics of Chemtrails Over the Country Club.
