I'm excited for the SYML sample, it's different from the usual piano Lana has on her album

The existence of the song (TUOB) was first revealed on September 1, 2022, when it was listed for sale alongside fellow Blue Banisters outtake "Fingertips" as well as a demo for "Arcadia". 
 

So what is the truth then?  

Also how would boz know EVERY detail of every song? 

She has written this song together with Mike Hermosa, who wasn't even her boyfriend during the time she worked on the music for Blue Banisters.

Who's Mike Hermosa? I never heard of him. I thought it was Mike Dean.

Her boyfriend from around late 2021.

she was filming his instagram story of him jumping to a river yesterday so possibly

I think that was an old video from Summer.

is Lana still dating the cousin kisser(Jack Donahue) or ?

Doesn't seem like they are dating anymore but they are on good terms.

Kinda happy that we didn't get the full track list on Wednesday, now we still have things to figure out until March

question - did we get the producers/composers for each track yet?

We have writing credits from iTunes, but no producer, title, length.

tbh i think the pictures of the waves were never shot with the intention of them being used for ldr9, i think the initial “see you in sept” was about weyes, and at some point down the line lana was like “oh those waves are cute. can i use them for my vinyl pretty please”

I interpreted the waves (that are in the DNC logo and his posts) to be for the ocean in Ocean Boulevard, but maybe that's just coincidence.

You probably mentioned it, but the « see you in September » post from Neil is surely from the LDR9 photoshoot… 

So this means they either delayed the album rollout or he reused the Lana shoot for Weyes Blood?

She said on the note on the last IG page that she recorded a part of his sermon

Lana and Jack also have songwriting credit on the interlude it so it can't be just a recording, maybe they added instrumentals?

Didn’t it have a full 24 hours

Yes, Watercolor Eyes was released midnight local time so it can't be compared directly.

To this day I still can't comprehend what possessed her to drop that  

I find it interesting that she has now covered Doin Time, Summertime (Gershwin version) and Summertime (Janis Joplin version), with the last being unleaked.

Pastor sermon???? What???? 

Judah is Lana's pastor and we are unfortunately getting an interlude where somehow his sermon is sampled or used otherwise  Since Jack and Lana have also writing credit on it I assume it's not just a straight recording. Though since it comes directly after American Whore i'm a bit curious about it.

Just now, lanasbottom said:

How many interludes do we think we’ll get ? i’d say 2-3. Each interlude introducing a new "act" in the album would be great. Kinda like chromatica but actually good and not unlistenable garbage 

 

I think BoZ said 2 interludes.

Just now, Venice Peach said:

It makes sense if AW&J means American Whore & Jack...

What doesn't make sense is the acronym she chose 

I've been thinking of Jack Donoghue and not Antonoff 

The meltdowns yesterday after @sweetie said the cover has all collaborators on it, including her pastor

I thought they were the same track? On side A there’s only A&W.

Yes, they are the same track, I edited my comment to make it less confusing.

The threads have gone crazy yesterday, did someone spill on possible tracks / titles? I know about the side A of the vinyls and American Whore (can’t wait for that one) but other than that? Thanks!

A&W and American Whore are the same track.

Do we know if they shot a music video for the title track?

BoZ said he doesn't know anything about music videos.

5. [lana del rey, judah smith & jack antonoff]

Jack Antonoff having writing credit on the pastor interlude is giving me hope that it's nothing too preachy or controversial

It's the final. She sent the unedited voice note to Drew who mastered and engineered it. She means it sounds like it was recorded in a studio not on an iPhone - NOT that it has rich instrumentation or full body. 

The sold Ocean Boulevard was 5:30 long and the version we got was 4:45 so it also wasn't the final version. I just remember Lana saying in the W Magazine interview that Fingertips has orchestral instrumentation and that doesn't seem to match with the snippet, at least the part we are hearing.

The leaked Fingertips snippet likely isn't the final song since it's only 2:17 minutes long and seems to only have sparse piano instrumentals, which doesn't sound like how Lana described it in the letter.

She finally spelled the title right
