#FreeCandyNecklace

Lana yelling “Get high, drop acid, never die, not ever, Lake Placid!” was the perfect addition to the VB remix. 

fingertips is a masterpiece, y'all just need to give yourselves two seconds to breathe

had me till the violet for roses slander 

Because we Americans foolishly give them power, instead of saying, "try seeing the glass half full," or even "tough shit, that's your problem," or "No one cares." 
 
It's one thing for a person to have a genuine grievance based on a rational argument, and another for a person, or, a group, to go around constantly looking for things to find "offensive" or "insulting" because they get attention and some degree of momentary power. 

because some people put effort in being offended lately, it's like they're constantly looking for shit to be angry about 

If anyone can get away with being a pick me girl, it's her though. She IS a different kind of woman. I never understood why people get so bended over someone saying they feel different. But it is true that basic b#tches wouldn't understand. 

Why are some girls so bothered with the "Basic bitch" line in sweet? Like..if you have a problem with that maybe she's talking about you.
It's just a funny little lyric and some turn it into something they feel offended by. Grow up. 

Fingertips is the ultimate grower on this album for me--and I love the way it mother is censored tbh. It captures your attention and draws you in, and makes sure you're paying very close attention. 

the mel's diner listening party    anyone who got there after like 5:40PM had to wait about 4 hours to get in.. the music was so low volume that you couldn't hear the album.. colton (store owner) did try and make it work but.. it wasn't it 
 

 
 
on the bright side they did give out pins that were apparently "designed by lana with mel's, since she's a friend of the family, and she wants the fans here to know that she appreciates and loves you so much"
 
i also talked to a guy who was hired by charlie to film/take pics of the event.. he was an open book LMFAO if only y'all knew.. he was adorable tho x
 
 

Dementors Over LanaBoards Threads
 

this album is lana's blood on the tracks 

I see the dementors are back.

kintsugi hits so hard for me, bc of family trauma and a lot of grief. this record was painfully relatable 

Get high  Drop Acid  Never Die  Not Tonight, LAKE PLACID 
 

Kintsugi is definitely my #1. It's like one of the best songs she's ever written. 

There's something about listening to this album at dawn that just kills me. Today, while leaving my house for work at 6AM, it was still dark outside and I pressed play on shuffle and Kintsugi came on... I had to skip it mid play because I didn't feel like crying on public display today lmao

At least include the @ so we can go mass downvote it. 

The first line of Kintsugi is killing me everytime... can't help but cry when it comes on

she is predicted to debut at #3 with incredible 120k sales. all we need is Paris, Texas ft. Taylor Swift remix bonus track dropping... someone get the swifties, taylor nation.. 

Man, I literally have different favourite songs every single day after this album came out, it's just impossible to pick my top favourite 

I heard it like this: "The turn of the mouth," smiling despite loss, or even forcing it through the formality of funeral services when engaging with the people who come to pay respects to the dead.

"The depth that the chest cavity takes" alluding to the way a loved one takes a tremendous piece of us and our love with them when they pass.

I interpreted that couplet to be about the impact of grief and how we navigate through it.

fingertips is now my favourite track on the album. it took me two weeks to find my way into it but when it clicked, it fucking clicked.
the melody of "exotic places and people" has been spinning in my head for five days. I can't help but imagine if the vocals were recorded with quality mics and there was a little more instrumentation, maybe hints of ocean sounds when she talks about the waves/drowning herself etc. but overall its an incredible track.
 
really goes to show sometimes you just have to sit with art before forming an opinion and your first impression (while important) isn't always correct.
 
I know people see it as a stream-of-consciousness poem that she put music to, but to me it feels like an opera. Like imagine an opera singer on stage singing it with classical strings, on a stage like this:
 

Because of the lyrics and melody moving the song along, I agree with the comment on youtube:
after the comments about girls losing their innocence prematurely.
Is it because you are streaming? Lana made this for me with my sensitive hearing. Can't listen to mainstream pop with its heavy production. Lana Del Rey on the bleeding edge of sonic exploration, going quieter. Sorry of your jumpscare, tho!
Thanx for your observation! Did anyone notice the "death spiral" on The Grants: "but . . . but?" Gerschwin's My Man's Gone Now as interpreted by Sarah Vaughen has several is an aria with the voice doing the death spiral in several places, no lyrics, just pure emotion over the grief of a dead loved one. Cannot believe, with this album, and what you said about the voice, putting Sarah Vaughan and Lana Del Rey in the same sentence? Oldster like me understands the significance . . . but I'm hearing it on DYKTTATUOB!!! Put your opera ears on. I timestamped it to start at the first vocal death spiral.
You are bold to voice your opinion, which I read with interest. It is valid!
I do not trust streaming! Perhaps Spotify cannot get the compression right on a delicate production like this! But it sounds good on PC listening to mp3s on my headphones, left ear only, because of damage in my right ear that distorts sounds.
Haven't heard the entirety of Folklore, only Cardigan, but am tickled for Lana's sense of humor to write a Taylor-esque song, if what you said is true. That is why I enjoy Lanaboards so much! It is another love tribute to Jack Antonoff. Taylor's bonus track on 1989 is called, "You're in Love" is tribute to Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff, with lyrics that read:
Lena Dunham tweeted,
 

IMO, Lana is entitled to appropriate from Taylor, imo, because Taylor draws major "inspo" from Lana . . . so much I used to feel indignant in Lana's behalf! At least Taylor credits Lana. Not like others who steal and DO NOT credit.
In these apocolyptic times, a dying breed, like from the hippie dippy love generation flower children? 1967 was the summer of love, Vietnam protests and civil rights.
Suicidal. Lana is not allowed to say it. Guardian UK burned Lana for making an off-hand joke about joining Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin, and Winehouse when Lana was also aged 27.  After Lana trusted the interviewer, he turned the off-the-cuff wry observation into a headline . . . for which Lana it seems did not forgive The Guardian . . . and granted no more interviews, as far as I can tell. Guardian did reviews and think pieces about Lana Del Rey since, but no exclusives . . .
It's you the fans who keep Lana from doing the unthinkable, imo. Like the Japan idols venerated around the world, Lana is so influential, her taking the easy way out would result in a domino effect of copycats. I am sure Lana has had low points, as her recent works infer, but she dismisses the thought, because of you. It is not just about her, I am certain . . .
RollingStone put Video Games at the top, and rated Heroin the bottom? I have nothing against Video Games, but there are so many great Lana songs even from that era that outshine it frankly, to me! People love Video Games. I do not want to take that away from them!
I would much rather read the reviews here because the fans are educated at least, even if your opinions differ from mine! You study your subject. It is much more illluminating to get the feedback from you, even if I do not agree. Mostly I agree, though.
About Heroin being bottom. The journalists get it wrong!
Not with the album, but I did catch up on the last 50 pages of this thread today . . . Like I said, above, your opinions so much more captivating than anything out there. Not even reading the reviews. They just do not know.
Structure, melody, instrumentals. It is a real song!
I skipped JS interlude, but am interested in the tea about Sean disrespecting Lana.  It is the crux of songs from Chemtrails on. Why why why why why did Sean walk away, when he had Lana? It must go deep, the climate at the time, the anti cop sentiment, protests over cop abuse, perhaps feeling like Sean's loyalty to his badge was tested for dating Lana? If I had a life, it wouldn't concern me, I suppose. But Lana' music speaks to me so much, I suffer, too. I felt violated when Chuck was robbed of digiatal photos, etc. let alone the recent car breakin Lana made public. It hurt.

Lana singing “I think that we should address this, acting like the young and restless” too fast over the piano, and then the piano solo after being extremely fast and chaotic like it’s trying to keep up with her emotions is the most brilliant moment in the album 

Obsessed with the baby doll voice she sings the last few “that’s how the light gets in” at the end of Kintsugi
