Lust told us a few days ago that Black Bathing Suit is an "invite". Now he's saying that it's going to surprise us. And boz also said he's going to be quiet so that we have something to look forward to. Yeah this is going to be a highlight.

the collapse when black bathing suit is a pop song about going to the beach with her boyfriend
 

 
or maybe it's about her flopping at volleyball with robin thicke.. i guess we'll never know
 

The only thing that gives me pause is that I'm not really expecting LFL-inspired trap elements from Erickson and Dawes who co-wrote the song. Trip hop, jazz, rock or even electronica (or perhaps a mixture of all these)? Definitely.

Thank you for the hot tea. What you say about this album being the "end of Lana Del Rey" is both exciting and upsetting...But perhaps there's a reason why she told us to listen to Arcadia the way we listened to the song that introduced her...
 
What should we expect from If You Lie Down With Me? I'm getting bluesy/jazz vibes from it! 
 
 

I really love the video, i honestly didn’t think much of it when i first saw it, just felt like another home made whatever effort, it was more about the song for me. 
On more viewings though the video is a real vibe imo, just everything, the cheap motel room, the yellow cardigan, the gyrating, the projections on her body, the sunglasses, and then the random outro etc. i really like it.
 
Especially after the AWFUL White Dress video and what looks like a very dull Blue Banisters video.

Wildflower Wildfire, Text Book, Blue Banisters, Arcadia AND Thunder, Living Legend, Cherry Blossom and Wild On You?
This album's gonna be beautiful, isn't it? 

So...will any good sis leak the credits, duration etc. of the songs? I need to know if Miss Clay really produced The Trio. 

just login to say after driving night with dealer volume on max i have to say that:
 
 

Haha true! And I agree with you. You can't put an interlude that leads to...nowhere. It's a build-up. 
 
@Surf Noir may be right though. If it does have trap elements it may be closer to something like Freak or Art Deco than Summer Bummer.

I've been trying to decipher how Lana is going to tell her story and this is what I came up with:
 
Text Book, Blue Banisters and Arcadia operate as a form of introduction - a prologue to the story Lana wants to share with us. Text Book is not an accessible or particularly "welcoming" opener - it's lyrically dense and complex, and the overall mood it evokes is quite cerebral. The opening line is perfect: this is really her story and she (finally) feels strong enough to tell it. The closing line implies repetition; a dead end. Blue Banisters is about healing and memories. The ghost of a lover still haunts her because the pain he inflicted on her remains unbearable. But she finds comfort in the company of her family and friends who try to heal her wounds even though they probably fail. But they're always there for her. They "fly to her to paint, paint...". There's something hopeful in the song, but Lana has to live with this pain - it'll never go away. Arcadia is one of her most lyrically subversive songs. What seems like a cheeky allegory and an apparent love letter to California becomes a slyly scathing critique against America and the criticism she's received throughout the years. In a way, these three tracks seem to define her current state of mind: the disappointments of love; the unfair criticism; the search for a safe haven - both literally and figuratively - in the world. 
 
@Thunder made some great points about the three-act structure of the album. Dealer is one of Lana's angriest and rawest songs. Thunder is both celebratory and a portrayal of (emotional) stagnancy. Wildflower Wildfire has some of the darkest and most confessional words Lana has ever written, but she finally finds hope. "It's you from whom I learn." This seems to be another critical transitional moment in the album - we finally dive into old UV outtakes. What is their purpose in the narrative? There is a lot of nostalgia in these songs, particularly Nectar of the Gods which ends with Lana feeling lost again. Living Legend and especially Cherry Blossom are sweeter, warmer songs. The fact that the final track, Sweet Carolina, is co-written by the father she "wanted back" (and finally found him) and her sister is very important. I think this will be a very emotional and highly personal ballad. Perhaps nothing has really changed in Lana's life. As Blue Banisters says, this "hole"/pain hasn't been healed and probably never will be. But she's found the support she needs - her father, her siblings, her best friends, her fans, her own self. These are her banisters.
 
So what should we expect from those mysterious tracks in the middle of the album? Black Bathing Suit, Beautiful, Violets for Roses, If You Lie Down With Me...these are very beautiful (pun intended!) and romantic or even sultry/inviting titles. But would such a direction make sense sonically and lyrically? How do we end up with the anger in tracks 9-11? Are these songs about her past? Could the titles be misleading? Is she going to go from something potentially sexy (Black Bathing Suit/If You Lie Down With Me) and pure (Beautiful/Violets for Roses) to something as lyrically dark and angry as Dealer? Could these tracks hold the key to fully understanding Lana's intentions? The fact that insiders avoid talking about these - sure, they want to leave us something to be excited about lol! - makes me think that they may be quite revealing and intense. 

Lol, is Black Bathing Suit going to be trap?! That would be fun and the interlude before it would make a lot of sense. For some strange reason though I expect it to be the more melodic/more lyrics-heavy trip hop (or super bluesy) sister of Dealer. 
 
@lustforlife Is Violet for Roses a ballad? The fact that it plays right before Dealer intrigues me a lot...
 
EDIT: Hey...didn't @lustforlife say that there's orchestra and choir on the album? What if Black Bathing Suit is the song that features these elements and takes us completely by surprise while we're expecting a sultry bop? 

Haha true! And I agree with you. You can't put an interlude that leads to...nowhere. It's a build-up. 
 
@Surf Noir may be right though. If it does have trap elements it may be closer to something like Freak or Art Deco than Summer Bummer.
