Listening to Tori Amos’ “Abnormally Attracted to Sin” album, and I would most definitely die if Lanita cooked anything in the vein of it. Magical, transgressive, hazy… 

I see the LDRX pre pre release thread is still alive & breathing 
 
Zodia track 2
 
Also tonight I got a vision she put a finalized version of Crazy For You on the album or maybe on the unreleased album 
 
Manifesting some electric guitar, not in the sense of wanting an UV 2.0 but an electric guitar riff never hurt no one, that's why it's alright 
 
The delusions still going strong 

how does it feel to be the prettiest girl in country music?

my dream is to attend to one of her shows in a small venue

need the country album SO bad... the country roads cover would eat that snippet was so good 
that's what it sounded like to me...

she shines the most when she sings in smaller venues 

Oh we are getting that country album with a cover of Stand By Your Man as the closer
 
She looks amazing 

Last night, Lana Del Rey performed Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette while at Robert’s Western World in Nashville, Tennessee.

Isn't it the whole point of the line though? She also says in Beautiful "don't tell me to be glad when I'm sad, I really hate that" so I've always understood both lines as a fuck you to the morons who try and cheer depressed people with some Live, Laugh, Love bullshit. They might mean well, but emotions aren't that simple (leaving aside the fact it dangerously minimizes their issues). I don't know, maybe I'm projecting  

Tomorrow Never Came is top 2 on LFL just behind Heroin 

tbh chemtrails is the new underrated one. and i truly believe she'll become a fan favourite just like honeymoon. then we'll have a new underrated record and the cycle will continue forever...

this reminds me of a tweet i saw awhile back that said lana is for the catholic girlies and taylor is for the protestant girlies and it made me realize that most of the catholic women i know who like both really do prefer lana and most of the protestant girls i know who like both really do prefer taylor

Similarly to this, I remember a fan of both said in a YT video that Lana represents the West Coast of the USA and Taylor represents the East Coast of the USA and imo it's so right.

Not necessarily about Taylor's work, but I wanted to say this somewhere lol
 
I'm not a Taylor fan at all, although I do follow what she does simply because she's inescapable. There's no doubt that, ever since Lana was directly associated with Taylor, her popularity raised a lot. It all started when Lana worked with Jack, then Taylor ranked Venice Bitch as one of her favorite songs of 2019, then she praised her receiving her Billboard Award, calling Lana the most influential songwriter of the decade, or something along the lines. Eventually they met, became friends and even made a song together, featured in Taylor's most successful album since '1989'. Then Taylor released 'Folklore', her most Lana-esque album, only one year after NFR!, which by now it obviously made an impact in pop music.
 
I think this all led to Taylor and Lana becoming the two biggest female songwriters in the world. People found dots to connect between them: soft, beautiful, femenine vocals, organic instruments, retro aesthetics... Love as a theme is extensively present in their discographies -- although from very different POVs, of course -- but they still 'call out' all these bad boys they fall in love with, and it seems young women in general really like that. I know a lot of girls who listen to Lana almost the same way they listen to Taylor; to relate to the lyrics, to dream about all these romantic stories, to feel soft and beautiful and emotional. Also they were both heavily critized by the media and the GP, and they're both enjoying a career peak right now.
 
Both extremely different in approach and everything obviously, but I hope y'all get my point.

OKAYYYYYY
Somebody else who thinks she sounds bored on Red TV, the most egregious example was We Are Never Getting Back Together

Agree with all this. There are far better songs off Red than ATW, including "Treacherous", "Holy Ground", and "State of Grace". And while evermore is her best album, Red will always be my favorite and hold a very special place in my heart (not Taylor's Version tho, that can fuck off with her bored vocals). 

i like all to well but i don't really care for the 10 minute version. it changes the narrative and mood of the song and messes with the flow and the emotional build up is nonexistent. i also don't believe the 10 minute version was fully formed as it is now back in 2012. we know there was a 10 minute jam session and we know she had lots of ideas that liz rose helped her edit down into a proper song and we know her diaries had some extra lyrics that would realistically be in the 10 minute version if it was fully formed back then but they're not. i feel like she knew she had to put together an extended version to make fans happy but all the lyrics she added felt like looking back at the relationship years later and seeing it clearer from a distance instead of the raw emotions of something that just ended. but imo the original all to well is perfect and i love it. idk if i would call it her best song, she has a lot of songs that could potentially be "the best song". and yeah i guess its kind of overrated now but i feel like the 10 minute version is especially overrated and fans act like it elevates the whole song when it doesnt and i feel like before taylor did red tv, the original all to well wasn't overrated yet. yeah lots of people thought it was her best but they were open to other opinions whereas now they all act like it's objectively her best song and we can't argue that.
 
i also agree with you about evermore being her best album. after that i'd say red (the original, not tv). reputation could be up there too if it had different production bc the writing itself is top tier but the production drags it down.

If evermore came out first, and got the same amount of promo and marketing folklore did, it'd be the favorite. 

Omg I didn't know that Evermore was that less favored  I adore Evermore and imo deserves more love. It deserved the same amount as Folklore imo. They're equal to my eyes but I think the lyricism is a bit stronger in Evermore, I mean look at songs like Tolerate It, Champagne Problems, Right Where You Left Me, Cowboy Like Me, Evermore song itself

I did say unpopular opinion though 
 
Not that I hate All Too Well, I love it and I think it's phenomenal but it's not THE best song and when I said overrated I meant that there are other songs that deserve "the best song" title 

Unpopular opinion: All Too Well is overrated.
 
Her best song is Clean or any other song from Folklore or Evermore.
 
Also another unpopular opinion: Evermore is her best album.

What if Lana just scraps the country thing and then surprises us with another style of music? 
Honestly what if she does a Vashti Bunyan type of vibe?
 
Lana would fuck this song up so good mmmmm

exactly  it is incredible what she can do with her voice. Wish we had more rock songs.... she sounds so damn good
