….is he implying…a second album?
 

 
having flashbacks to this

I wouldn't read too much into what he writes. I assume he just tried to not call it beautiful again like last time.

It burrrnnns burrrnsss burrrnns 🌼 🔥 
Happy 1 Year BB
 

Happy one year to one of the more underrated albums in Lana’s discography ✨

Happy 1 year to Blue Banisters 💙 This record means so much to me. Its healing themes of looking inward through family origins and embracing community in spite of that are very inspirational to me. I love the familiarity of the older tracks and very much value the poetry of the newer ones—this record is an incredibly rewarding listen that I will cherish in the years to come. 🍂

happy blue banisters day!!! can't believe it's been a whole year already
I think this album is just so important in her discography and it holds a special place in my heart as it dropped right when I moved to the house I live in right now and everytime I listen to it it brings me the feelings of a new chapter in life. and just like chemtrails it has that warming introspective vibe that makes us feel hugged and closer to her

Happy birthday to one of my favorite LDR albums yet. I admire this album so much because I think it takes such a strong step forward in presenting her strengths as both a poet and a musician. It conveys the essence of Lana in the simplest & most honest way possible. A genius songwriter, yet completely misunderstood for many different reasons. It makes me see beauty in the simplest things, such as jumping into a pool with your friends on a summer day, to the abstract of Russian poetry and karmic lineage. She shares her vulnerabilities, her past family, and reflects upon her art and how challenging it was navigating the early reception and current day backlash. The title of the album is absolutely perfect, and despite the simplicity of the imagery of the two videos, they still truly encapsulate the album as a whole. Super, super beautiful and underappreciated record, and I hope people click with it more down the line. 
 
Some of my favorite lyrics:
 
TEXT BOOK: 
And then there was the issue of her
I didn't even like myself, or love the life I had
And there you were with shinin' stars standin' blue with open arms
You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had You've got a Thunderbird, my daddy had one, too
Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you
You know I'm not that girl, you know I'll never be
Maybe just the way we're different could set me free   BLUE BANISTERS:   She said, "You can't be a muse and be happy, too
You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry
And be happy"
And that scared me Summer comes, winter goes
Spring, I skip, God knows
Summer comes, winter goes
Spring, I sleep, Heaven knows
Every time it turns to May
All my sisters fly to me
To paint, paint   NECTAR OF THE GODS:   What cruel world is this? Nectar of the Gods
Heroin gold in my veins, you in my thoughts California, homeland of the Gods
Once I found my way but now I am lost   WILDFLOWER WILDFIRE:   What I can promise is I'll lie down
Like a bed of wildflowers
And I'll always make the sheets
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet
And I nourish you hazily   My father never stepped in
When his wife would rage at me
So I ended up awkward but sweet
Later than hospitals and still on my feet
Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry
