Unidentified Major Tom

This tarot card is the star. According to wikipedia : The Star represents: New hopes and splendid revelations of the future, insight, inspiration, courage and enlightenment of the spiritual self. Body and mind and converging towards the light at the end of a dark time(s) That's all I wish for her.

Actually, I think it is about the two. The first part seems to be about a "John", according to many sources and the second one (obviously with boxing lyrics) about a "Joe". Okay for Burnt World as we don't really know. It is a possibility as the time was uncertain and troubled. Just for fun, Jonathan Wilson in Over the midnight : "Yeah this world it is burning But don't it feel incredible? Whisper in my ear And tell me what you see in the flames In the flames"

Quelle chance. Mon rêve ! As you're working for tsugi, congratulations btw, it reminds me that I still have this old one :

I don't really know and I have no concrete evidence, but I still think the song NFR is about Jonathan Wilson, and maybe other songs of the album, and also some poems of Violet. It is a long post, sorry about that. From L.A. mag : https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/how-jonathan-wilson-accidentally-rebooted-the-laurel-canyon-music-scene/ "he is first and foremost known for revitalizing the Laurel Canyon music scene, the neighborhood that was home to Joni Mitchell" I think he is the resident Laurel Canyon who she is talking about, he has a lot of influence there where he lived and set up a studio where he collaborated with many artists as a producer. I could see him throwing parties and organize some jam sessions with friends often. Maybe Lana felt a little bit forsaken. In NFR : "You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you" In the Bird World demo version of NFR : "Heard you're back in the bar again Hangin' out with your stupid friends Playing with your guitar again But I don't fucking care" It reminds me of the white mustang music video where the guy, wearing long hair, was producing music or in a party instead of taking care of her, so she left. About that, it was said that the video were supposed to be made in first intention for Best American Record. He could be the musician she was talking about, writing his own record with her (she collaborated in his album Rare Birds) : "He was seventies in spirit, nineties in his frame of mind" The Laurel Canyon scene was at its peak in the 70s, with CSNY for example, who he collaborated with. And suddenly in NFR, Lana namedrops the Eagles, CSNY and Joni Mitchell. "But you were so obsessed with writing The next best American record That there was nothing left by the time we got to bed Baby, that's a shame You were so obsessed with writing The next best American record You did it all for fame" I know this could stand for Barrie, but I never saw him seeking fame. I think their albums "Rare Birds" and NFR (what about Bird World ?) talk about each other. About the name "Rare Birds", Jonathan said that it stands for two lovers like two unique individuals who met and fell in love. There are several songs in Rare Brids that make me feel are about Lana. Mulholland queen : "You are perched up on the ridge of town" "Oh baby, you're so blue and wise" "With the babies breath in a crown-like shape" "Through your laugh, I can breathe in a childlike air With you dear, I'm in awe of a creature rare With your tender smile and your pretty little dress With your jazz in your heart, you don't need all the rest" "From the curves of Bel Air to Topanga Creek As we hear what the masters have sang us before All the Billie and the Chet and the Pharaoh of yore" "Under those big eucalyptus' Where your grasses are green Where you sway under the heavens And your dominion is every... Star" This last sentence is almost repeated in the poem "La who I am to love you" : "With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion" Furthermore, for those who don't know, Lana loves Billie Holiday and Chet Baker. Loving you : "To wake up with you Thats all I wanna do Billie she was skipping all night We didn’t even notice her" "A match thats made beyond The barricades of space and of time" "Oh complex you I know just what i will do I’ll simply write another verse of you A melody to keep you inside" "Mostly talent Most mystic The rest it is magic" Nota Bene : Lana is credited on this song (although we don't hear her). Also, this song has a "summertime madness" edit version : There's a Light : "There is a garden In the expanse of your mind The harvest will speak volumes in due time" "You are America and you are everyone You are the miracle of love With all your children at your feet You are the ocean from above So dear so deep" Sunset Blvd : "There's a cherry on top tonight For men who look like jesus tonight If you play your cards right You can be the the son of god tonight You were thin you were undersized for the spring You entered your name just as "tight blue jeans" In my phone I guess you do this kind of thing" I def see her doing this Living with myself (ft. Lana) : "The lies, I start to believe them" Lana in Bare feet on linoleum : "and the lies, they started to believe them" Hard to get over : "The way you make love Makes me see my funeral On my wedding day The way you’re daddy’s girl I’ve watched the reel I still don’t believe it" Otherwise, I think he is the John in How to disappear : "John met me down on the boulevard Cried on his shoulder 'cause life is hard" For the timeline we know they dated in 2016, and maybe in 2017 (we have pics of Lana attending a Pink Floyd show on june 2017 in which Jonathan Wilson toured as a guitarist). Maybe all this is too far fetched, but I really thinks he had a big impact on her, and on her art. This is my interpretation that I had in mind since a long time, and of course I could be totally wrong.

Having a though for the French who have the chance to see Lana this evening. With 10 years younger, I would have tried to get tickets to be there too. Bon concert !

OMG, she finally loves us back !

I love how she tries to go incognito with her hood and her glasses, but wears a hoodie with her name on it.

Omg you were right, just look at them !

You know I got nothin' under this overcoat. Let the light in coming !

The Peter Rabbit bag was bought by Rob. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct2NEVvvCcu/?igshid=YmM0MjE2YWMzOA== And yes it was colder in the north of France (I live not very far from Paris) today, nearly 22°C

The problem is that you have to mobilize a lot of police to maintain security because there are riots and looting all over the country, so there are not enough left for certain events such as concerts in stadiums or festivals. Lana's concert is in a small venue, which manages the security itself, so I don't think it will be canceled and I think it will be over by then.

Yeah it's probably her fault, but we don't really know. She didn't commit a crime either. Maybe it's time to forgive.

Summer Wine Stargirl and Living with myself (just for her whispering and humming).

Fingertips, Venice Bitch or Brooklyn Baby. Can't choose, sorry. Depends on my mood.

No, I don't think it's just you, I feel it too. With Fingertips in particular, her choice of words, the tone of her voice, and that sort of serene desperation, it feels like she's speaking directly to our hearts or our souls. But based on our own life experience, I can accept that it doesn't resonate the same for everyone. I mean, I am always moved by tragedies, but that might not be what everyone is looking for in her.

Don't know if that counts, her humming in Living with myself by Jonathan Wilson.

I love it I feel like Lost at sea and Hollywood Bowl are two pretty songs that you can listen when you need the time to stop, to focus on your inner thoughts. I think these two songs and maybe the whole album is about that feeling which is close to meditation. So calming and we need it.

I lost my whole heart to these lyrics and instrumentals the day I first listened to this song. Something about my relation to Lana has since changed. I think I would just give her a comforting hug if I could, and stop asking her for anything more.

It's not bad at all actually. I am not far from saying she's right.

This sound in Taco Truck, which sounds like tire squealing. I love this addition to the VB part, it amplifies the feeling of driving fast.

Oh, the snow song. Nvm, i'm so happy there's some new content coming soon

Jon Batiste will be there too, although not the same day : https://instagram.com/stories/jonbatiste/3106242176057134221?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng== I would be pleased to see them performing Candy Necklace together

I discovered Lana in 2011 in the french magazine Les inrocks. In their website they shared the videos of Video Games, Blue Jeans (the first one) and Kinda outta luck. I was immediately fascinated by her art and her aesthetics. And then I remember that every song which was released on youtube at the time, one by one, was like a little miracle : Diet mtn dew, born to die, off to the races, national anthem... And so I became a fan.

At this point, I can't imagine any other answer than Fingertips. I love this song so much, but since the first time i listened to it, I can't help worrying about her.
