This song is like Guns & Roses prequel

This is so pure
It reminds me of American and The Lucky Ones

The last hours of the classic LB site aaaahhhh...! Exciting! I’ll see you on the other side!

Thank you Elle ♥️
Best admin ever!!

Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to keeping this site alive for us! Can't wait to see the new themes!

Do what's necessary queen!
Thank you for all the time and work you're putting into Lanaboards' entire existence

Hi all, 
 
I just wanted to let you know of some changes that are going to take place later today (about 12 or so hours from now.)
Some of you may remember I posted this message before a couple of weeks ago after a previous site crash, but it was removed within a half hour along with any other posts that had been posted in that time frame. Basically, I tried to upgrade the server without updating the site first and it didn't work, so I had to revert it. Let me delve more into that - 
 
Essentially, LanaBoards's current server isn't stable enough to continue using. We just had another crash Saturday night following #AugustLeakFest due to traffic, and those sort of crashes are going to continue to happen during high traffic times on our current server. Obviously, we can't have that happen especially with COTCC coming up; however, in order to upgrade to a larger server, the forum script software has to be updated. Otherwise, it will not work properly as I discovered a couple of weeks ago.
 
A few times in the past, I've asked users and set up a poll to see if you all wanted me to update the forum script. Each time, the result was pretty split or with a slight majority in favour of keeping the current forum script that LanaBoards has had since its start in 2012. Now, I have no choice but to update it anyway.
Later today, in about 12 hours or so, Melly and I will be updating the site and then upgrading the server.
 
 
Here's pretty much what you need to know:
- The site will be offline for a few hours while this updating and upgrading occurs. I don't imagine it will take too terribly long (and I sure hope it doesn't), but it could be a few hours. I'll be posting a notice on the site hopefully around an hour or so before it goes offline, but I would highly recommend you all to follow the @/LanaBoards Twitter if you're not already, as I'll be posting updates there while everything is taking place to keep you all up to date on what's happening.
- Things are going to look a little different. LanaBoards has not changed much aesthetically aside from era theme changes over the past 8 years. This is because the same forum software script has not ever changed, but it's so outdated and now causing some problems. I'm still going to be using the same forum company's template, it's just going to be their newest updated script. So it won't be too drastic of a change, but there may be some minor aesthetic & functionality changes here and there. 
- The theme will have to change (yay, finally, I know.) Now, the problem is I have no idea what the site layout is going to look like after the update. I have a brief idea of what it may look like, but I cannot start designing a theme until the update is complete so I'll know how to design it to match the new layout of the site. So, for a few days after the update, we may have to have a simple temporary theme until an actual one is completely designed. I'm working with some other talented users to hopefully design themes for both NFR & VBBOTG, and I'm also going to try to redesign the current LFL theme to fit the new layout as well. I may also go back and redesign some of the themes for other eras (if/when I have time) and feature a list of themes where users can decide which one they would like.
- You really have nothing to worry about! (hopefully, if nothing goes terribly wrong!) All accounts, posts, threads, etc. will remain in tact. Again, the only thing different will be minor aesthetic & functionality changes in the site's layout as I mentioned above. It will pretty much stay the same LanaBoards that you all know and love (& hate sometimes) since we'll still be using the same forum template, but with a sleeker, more updated layout and design.
 
 
Please let me know if you all have any questions or concerns. I'll post a message to this thread as well as in the Status Updates letting you all know before we go offline, but again I would strongly recommend following our Twitter page for updates while we're offline. 
Thank you all so much for your support and cooperation in this!
 
All my love,
Elle xx

“I wasn’t the marrying kind, I should’ve done it anyway” connection??

This song is amazing! The lyrics, the sentiment, the storytelling! Perfect. Not to mention the religious overtones and southern vibes. Everything about it speaks to my soul.

I go back to Alabama
Take a look at my life
What the fuck happened here?
I guess that's what they meant when they pay the price
I go back to Alabama
Take a look at my life
Where are the trailer parks?
​& where are all the Christmas lights?
 
I had a boyfriend
He came from this town
We used to pretend we were married and start again
He read the bible
Showed me what Jesus said
He said only read the red
 
I want Jesus to take me out of this life, baby
& I talk to Jesus and ask him if he'll think of saving me
 
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
 
I go back to Alabama
Take a look at my life
Nothing looks familiar here
No one even that I like
I go back to Alabama
Take a look at my life
I was so much happier when
I was gonna be your wife
 
We had a deal and
I fucked it up when
I made the decision to become someone
We had the one thing
That no one never had
True love
It's true love
 
I have Jesus to take me out of this life, baby
& I talk to Jesus and ask him if he'll think of saving me
 
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
 
I never meant to hurt you, baby
It's so hard to be true
In this world where everything's so black & blue
I never meant to hurt you, darling
It's so hard to be good
In this world where you do what you know you should
 
I want Jesus to take me out of this life, baby
& I talk to Jesus and ask him if he'll think of saving me
 
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I've heard all of her released songs on Spotify after this thread and I think her latest singles are very interesting. My Game, Only A Dream and People Are Strangers are my favorites 
I'm excited for the sonority of this collab!

Lana Del Rey

zella day - only a dream
the neighbourhood - cherry flavoured
and haim's album has been on repeat since it dropped. so good!

The last few collabs have been backing vocals, or small samples. I just can’t get excited for that...
 
Suppose it could be studio For Free....

Yesterday, Zella Day confirmed over an Instagram Live that a collaboration with Lana Del Rey is set to take place. 
It is unknown whether the song has been finished or if it is intended to be released on a project of Lana's or Zella's, as they are both due to release albums soon.
Lana and Zella have been good friends for three years, and Zella has opened for and performed with Lana on stage during her tours. They recently took a trip across the midwest together.
 
 

imagine taking a woman  who says that all Lana Del Rey songs are the same seriously

a line from a poem in Behind the Iron Gates - Insights from an Institution has just leaked!
 
It reads, "Fuck the guardian"

Probably because it’s going to charity, but idk. Some people have said audiobooks come out Spotify on Friday’s like a week or two after the initial release but idk bc I’ve never waited for one. Some people think it’ll go to streaming in October though when the physical copies are released. But they might wanna keep it exclusive since it’s connected to a charity though. I actually like that it’s exclusive to book apps atm though because it keeps the haters/trolls away unless they wanna pay for it.
