Bliss

I'm surprised that Lana and Grimes haven't made a song together yet. I know their music isn't super similar but they do tend to lean into ethereal voices, so I think it would work.
 
 
people on tiktok and twitter act like lana murdered someone, it's so ridiculous

imagine making a whole ass timeline about somebody's "problematic" actions... they are OBSESSED

Imagine one of these extended versions being the official one and the actual version being a radio edit? It would've been perfect! Imagine listening the BTD vinyl with the monolog and the instrumental part. It would've been unreal.     

The road is long, we carry on
Gimme them gold coins, gimme them coins
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater and I know
They say that the world was built for two
 
Can we hit it now low down and gritty?
Blurrin' the lines between real and the fake
There's no release, I feel you in my dreams
Like a fucking dream I'm living in
It's alarming, truly, how disarming you can be
How did you get that way? I don't know
 
Cruisin' down the coast, goin' about 99
We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job
Gold and silver-lined my heart
I know what the boys want, I'm not gonna play
You're a careless con and you're a crazy liar
 
I'm tired of driving 'till I see stars in my eyes
Your skin so golden brown
We can escape to the great sunshine
Opulence is the end
Warmer than May, her tender sighs
 
In the land of Gods and Monsters
I wear your sparkle
Don't be afraid of me
Everybody knows that I'm a mess
We could go back to Woodstock
I can't break through your world
 
I've got feathers in my hair
You push it hard, I pull away, I'm feeling hotter than fire
Might not appeal to fools like you
I'm stronger than all my men
My life, it comprises of losses and wins and fails and falls
This is my show
 
Sunsets, small town, I'm out of time
It's such a change from old routine
Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue
He loved guns and roses, he loved guns
People never die in Miami, that's what they all say
Little bullet car if we choose
It's all a game to me anyway
 
When I hear your tunes It's so crazy I could drink it like tequila sunrise The truth is I never bought into your bullshit Screw your anonymity A little party never hurt no one Remaining a perpetual possibility The storms come, in the eye we'll stay   I was so wrong not to tell, I'm in regine, tangerine dreams Carry me home, don't wanna talk about the things to come If you lie down with dogs, then you'll get fleas You won't work another day Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood   It don't matter because it's enough There's no more night, blue skies forever Across the county line My cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme Slippin' on my dress in soft filters High tops in the summer Time after time, writing my lines   Talk that talk, well now they all know your name Critics can be so mean sometimes You let me in, don't leave me out, or leave me dry Cut a rug, lean into the fucking youth But warm is the body of the girl from the land he loves   You said you'd meet me out there tomorrow Something 'bout this sun has made these kids get scary Who am I to sympathize when no one gave a damn? Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance   You act like a kid even though you stand six foot two I'm your man You're beautiful and I'm insane And if I wasn't so fucked up, I think I'd fuck you all the time All the people in the dance will agree   You know that I'd just die to make you proud But if you hold me without hurting me I'm always going to be right here You're brighter than the brightest stars   Topanga's hot tonight Those nights were on fire I bought me a truck in the middle of the night I'll pick you up if you're in town on the corner Don't ask if I'm happy, you know that I'm not   Look how I do this, look how I got this I'm not bored or unhappy, I'm still so strange and wild Keep that bottle at your hand, my man Don't make me be bittersweet Time after time, I think about leaving So play it like a symphony I think you know the same things that I do   Honey, you make me feel I'm invincible I don't wanna end up like Tammy Wynette And life doesn't always work out like we planned They knew he had never been on their TV   But maybe, finally, that'll make it right in the end Summer comes, winter goes All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries 'Cause no one does it better Without trial like a stowaway Let's keep it simple, babe   Ever since I fell out of love with you, I fell back in love with the streets I check it, I wreck it, I turn it around But you're not satisfied at the rainbow's end It's strange, but it's true, darling   I get wild and fucking crazy like you never knew But you never cared about my name Swing it high like Jesus, wild and free If you're stressed out, just know you can dance to your song                
 
 

Something similar is happening to me regarding the record. Like, I listened to it a handful of times and got totally haunted by it. Such an amazing, complex, powerful album. But I feel it's actually too heavy on all levels to listen to it frequently. Not something I can just play casually without having to do a certain emotional/cognitive effort while at it. But that's actually what makes it so special as well. As a big, old book to go back to from time to time to reflect on it. The most substantious, relevant project Lana has given us till today (and thats a lot to say).

come on Lana, time to announce LDR9
