Not Lana resurrecting Morricone to remix a track for her. 
 
 

I'm sure someone already pointed this out but I'm so emotional. The little dance she does in front of the window in the Interlude part is practically the same as the one from the National Anthem demo MV 

"if you think that you know yourself, you can come over" is so powerful. 

finally caught up on the last 20 pages (stupid class). ANYWAYS, i just wanted to say that i think it's quite sweet that i haven't seen a single negative comment about arcadia on this thread! as someone who's waiting to listen till the album drops to listen to it, i feel so ecstatic. i know it's gonna be worth the wait! 

at this point they must be listening to her music through a toaster because arcadia is definitely more than piano

Boz really had the nerve to say that Arcadia sounded the same throughout the whole song. I'm sorry but didn't he hear those strings, the cinematic composition in the back, the horns/brass and the fucking buildup? 
I'm not trusting any word he says from now on 

This era is so surreal
First we find out she's going going to release a bunch of fan favourite unreleased music on a 15 track album with 4 covers
THEN LUSTFORLIFE TURNS OUT TO HAVE CREDIBLE INSIDER INFO
Dealer actually leaks
And then at the end of a beautiful piano ballad (with strings!!) she flips us off before playing a Midwestern trap remix

exaclty
when arcadia ends:
 
- quickly wipe tears
- death drop
- twerk on the ground

She is serving iconic 90s Tori Amos with “I’m a lost little girl” moment I’m crying 

So after crying during Arcadia i’m meant to be in tears while i do the splits when Trio plays? She’s psychotic. A legend.

if you know you know

SEND ME A HILTON HOTEL
OR A CROSS ON THE HILL 

Dear Elliot AKA WESTBOUND is track eight on sirens
On Lana’s EIGHTH studio album, on Arcadia she says ‘I’m leaving them as I was, Five foot eight, Western Bound’
 
i don’t think this was intentional or anything, but a cute little connection nonetheless 

I don't know why, but I have a feeling that she is really proud of this song

Wow..  This is a beautiful depiction of the story of these three albums, and I think you nailed it perfectly.
These albums are sort of accompanying my own life in that way - in 2019 right around the NFR release my world fell apart. I really didn't start to pick up all the pieces of the rubble until early 2021, around when Chemtrails came. Now that we're in the final quarter of 2021, I've begun placing all my pieces together to finally assemble my life back to the way it was. Lana always happens to be the perfect soundtrack to my life, and I can't wait for Blue Banisters to be a part of my next chapter. In October too, my birth month! What perfect timing! x

All of the 4 released songs have such a timeless feeling about them but listening to them now back to back Banisters still has that special aesthetic, the essence of everything at once submerged into the deep waves of thoughful contemplative sensuality with the crystal vocals and ethereal instrumental. This is a title track for a reason 

NFR was the end of the world as we know it, Chemtrails was the quiet uncertainty that comes after that as you pick up the pieces and try to figure out what comes next, and BB is the assembly of those pieces as you start to understand your place in the world and the story you want to tell. 
 
 

I will always love COCC no matter how good this album will be (that it’ll be for sure). But I don’t know what could happen there. Chemtrails video was a true event and an amazing visual but everything after that went downhill. She paid dust to the album and I think that Covid was the cause. That album was planned much earlier and maybe she lost faith in the project after that. She also seemed quite excited about LMLYLAW and I guess she had a better idea for a video planned.
 
Chemtrails has occupied Honeymoon’s place in Lana’s weird treatment to an album.

Chemtrails needs to be appreciated for what it was. It was Lana’s stepping stone to wanting to retell her story. The bridge between both is beautiful cause in this album she sounds clearer than ever. Jack kind of shaded her persona imo… it seems as if someone like that with a high status currently when it comes to the world of music affected her in some way. But this album feels like a passion for everyone involved, as if they dedicated their artistry to this album specifically. 

I'M LEAVING THEM AS I WAS
FIVE FOOT EIGHT WESTERN BOUND
PLUS THE HATE THAT THEY GAVE
BY THE WAY THANKS FOR THAT 
ON THE WAY, I'LL PRAY FOR YA

am i going insane or do the drums on text book sound better

not the text book slander on such a holy day i can't 

barrie's management feels the same way 

Remember how everyone was disappointed with the cover and the short tracklist with no Dealer on COCC 8 months ago?
Now our suffering is over, she is giving us everything we asked and more

I thought i was crazy for thinking the three singles sounded better mixed. They totally have been polished
