No because you're so real for this

Did the exact same thing more than once for the first few days it was out

when I was listening to Tunnel (the single) for the first time and almost got hit by a car bc I walked into the middle of the road without looking

I like it too and have always been confused by the hate. On the one hand it is my second least favorite song on the album, but I have never thought it was bad at all. I just wish it were only Lana singing

I don't know if this is embarrassing but I went through a phase where I really loved For Free, and I always defended it on Reddit. To this day, I still think it doesn't deserve the hate! 
 

These people are not fans they are just looking for someone to direct their frustration at and hold accountable… like girl phone your fucking reps pop singer lana Del Rey ain’t gonna bring peace to the Middle East . They need to log tf off

to me this a boundary overstepped.
1. Lana is not a politician, and she’s American. Genuinely, what can “her influence” do?? Even if she “spreads awareness”, what is she doing? 
2. If she’s not informed, she shouldn’t speak up at all. It’s honestly pathetic that people would rather her speak up about a topic so serious just because people are basically forcing her / pressuring her to do so. Regardless of whether she knows anything about Palestine / Isreal, people want her to talk about it anyways.
3. It’s weird that you need validation from celebrities or that you can’t like them unless they’re on “your side”. 
4. This is actually going to get her cancelled and we can’t do QFTC part 2 but worse.
also in my opinion, this isn’t as black and white as people say it is. it’s honestly sad how much of a lack of empathy one side has for the other just because they’re too far into their own bias to look at a different view. This letter is awful!

Mess...  her own fans doing this shit. It's a trap. 
And it's going to be worse when she starts to open her mouth. 

i’m sorry but wtf was this meant to do? lana is not the president of the united states, and her opinion does not matter. it only shows who she is as a person 
i wish people put this much energy into actually helping stop this genocide-

And that’s how this will blow harder than it should. And that’s how we’re getting an unnecessary video of Lana addressing this; and also how she will get canceled once again. Fans are truly an artist’s biggest hater.

Melanie should make more songs like this, it's still one of my favourites
Her voice just sounds heavenly here especially on the bridge 

This bitch crazy

Yep. She constantly goes beyond her means and pushes for the most from her label. That attitude often gets labeled as "determined" and "artistic", but it's really just unrealistic at this point.
 
It's not like Atlantic doesn't back her with millions of dollars for all of her projects, pay for all the videos she insists on making, and go along with her demanding behavior. So she's got plenty of funding- she just doesn't know how to use it. It's ruining her chances at the success she should've had.
 
I really hope in the future she learns to commit to quality over quantity instead of cutting up her ideas to cram into a budget just because she can't compromise. If $6.5M wasn't enough to make K-12 work, I don't even know what she expects out of Portals.

This bitch crazy

I've said this before, but Butterflies, Pt. 2 / Cult Leader / Ultraviolence are like triplet songs lyrically with all that dark cult imagery
 
Butterflies, Pt. 2 doesn't really fit sonically since it predates both of the others and is synth-pop masterpiece, but all those songs are really good I think

I love finding unreleased songs that feel like the spiritual successors of Lana's released tracks (or vice versa).
 
These are the A-Side and B-Side duos that I always associate with one another:
 
Body Electric / Serene Queen
Ride / Angels Forever, Forever Angels
Salvatore / Backfire
Ultraviolence / Cult Leader
 
There are definitely more that I can't think of right now, but I'd love to hear everyone else thoughts on it 

This bitch crazy

This bitch crazy

she turned out to be so different from who she appeared to be back in the day and it's so sad. she got too pretentious about her art, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but girllllllll, you're doing everything wrong! just make your albums, have a normal rollout like every other pop girl and move on. enough with the expensive films, horrendous perfume bottles, overpriced cheap jewerly, nfts... wtf girl. make GOOD music and goooo.

any new music dropping in the next 4 years is fantasy land befr 😭😭😭 there is NO EP.

I love this photo of her

Everything she does ends in controversy can we ever win with her 

i know shes been through it, but she really needs to work on how she talks to fans.

Wow, BYE lol. She may not literally make millions at once, but she is/was a millionaire, and if she's going into debt that's probably her fault for not making better decisions after Cry Baby(K-12 was a $6M failure) and spending so much money on weird shit.
All the clothes, vacations, accessories worth thousands of dollars that she's bought over the past few years cannot have all been gifted to her, and she just made over 18K from her fans on Depop alone. She's not fucking broke.
She seems to whine a lot about money though, even when Cry Baby boosted her onto the top charts and made millions when she was just a teenager. I had a lot of respect for her but this era has tanked that entirely.
