one time beauty queen

ok but this is pretty fucking iconic , holy hell .. they are amazing musicians. Lana has one talented family

is it just me or does the "turns down the backbeat" line now tie in with Violets for Roses pretty well???? "ever since I fell out of love with you, I break dance to the backbeat & God does it sound sweet"

i think that was just a speculation from that account then but to be fair i get it bc she also said she didn't put it on LFL bc "I'm just not there yet" & knowing that Yosemite basically lays out this rly strong&great relationship that can stand the test of time, i guess her finally releasing it was cause she did feel like she was there at some point w Sean, Chemtrails already has a few songs ab him/their thing as is so I don't think it's a reach

this is rly breaking my heart for her tho... Sean when i get your ass

bahah my initial thoughts exactly "he slips out the back door to talk to me" yeah that's not gonna help much when ur getting photographed at the grammys together but in seriousness i guess this was after their breakup then? like Sean met & got together w another woman (his now wife) but still hit Lana up/went to hookup w her or something on the DL? & L didn't know she was basically being used as "the other woman" & this made her feel like an american whore? IDK

this is so White Dress of her too

me atp when i hear "new Lana magazine interview" baha it was still cute tho & i love the photoshoot. EDIT: THERES A PART TWO TO THE INTERVIEW AND ITS EATING?

-

wow they're smart for putting the Lana songs on two separate 7"s but also... bffr

& she commented "Listen👂to the words" Sean better start running omfg

don't disagree with BUS but omg I love Sean's contribution on TNC, I find his voice to be very peaceful which works perfectly for the track imo & since the title is seemingly a play on The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows & there's that bit about listening to Yoko n John in the bridge, it's cool Lana got their son on there

nah that's fair & understandable! if it's a personal touch you want 10000% Sara, written about/during his divorce w former wife Sara, his most personal ever imo - Tangled Up On Blue also touches on their situation I think. Sad-Eyed Lady is about her too, before everything went downhill but it's more just poetic metaphor after metaphor, rhyme after rhyme & hard to understand. I don't even fully get it but I do love it, however you may not get as much out of it as the other two based on what you told me about what you prefer lyrically. Positively 4th Street is pretty heated, it sounds like someone pissed him off so that's personal in a sense. We've all been there & My Back Pages is a great reflection/coming into wisdom track imo "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" You can probably skip over Hurricane & Desolation Row

ooh you saw it live? nice, that's a great shout anyway! 100% agree tho. Songs of Love&Hate is wonderful of course, a little darker so it goes for sure. I read that the same thing happened w Cohen- you know he basically told Phil he wanted a Leonard Cohen record, not a Phil Spector record (production wise) then Phil threw & locked him in a closet n finished off the album how he wanted & sent it off. he pulled a gun on him too n said "you know I love you Leonard" to which Leonard replied "I hope you do Phil" - while the story itself isn't cool I always thought that reply was a testament to how cool Leonard always was, what a guy. it cracks me up a bit I think I read that Phil died in jail tho, so at least there's that you know, he got what was long coming to him a damn shame that's pretty much me rn- there is so much great stuff out there n I'm totally obsessed looool. & I cannot blame you over that, he leaves a mark!!

damn, that's an opinion i've heard people say they hate his voice, it's fair, it's somewhat an acquired taste but i've never heard someone insult his songwriting lmaooo hard disagree obviously but to each his own.. how many/which songs have you heard by him? if you're genuinely interested in giving him another shot (on the songwriting front) a few I wld rec off the top of my head: Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands, My Back Pages, Sara, Hurricane, Tangled Up In Blue, Simple Twist Of Fate, Positively 4th Street, Desolation Row

interesting, will check it out asap - thank you! edit: Cohen's still reigns supreme to me i'm so sorry, the chokehold shdfdjgdf #cohentruther4lyfe I think it has become slightly controversial these days to like him as a person/figure tbh, people are very sensitive as for Imagine, I don't know where it would land exactly in my ranking but yes I appreciate it! I wasn't trying to say it was Spector's best work by any means- baha I'd have to think on that one & still dig into a handful of albums before drawing a conclusion like that, but I won't lie I really can get down to Ladies Man & I don't think it deserves it's bad rep! 100%! Hard Rain is nice. I do listen to that other Rolling Thunder Revue live album (1975) a lot more often tho - Sampler or whatever it's called as in people didn't take them serious?!? that's a drag .... I really love Morphine, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree here! but thanks for taking the time to read n reply n share your thoughts ! i feel kinda like I'm just posting straight into the void here a lot of the time but interactions are always nice!

UR MOM CALLED, I TOLD HER: HARRY NILSSON HAS A SONG..HIS VOICE BREAKS AT 2:05

that's true! but it's not midnight where i live & i already listened sjfhgdjs

uuuuum i dont wna get warning points but i'll just say it's out there n not that hard to find

omg just listened...it's rly sweet, easy on the ears! i'm not usually an instrumental-only kinda girl but i did enjoy that.... perched for june 9th & esp the Lana feats

no way ben called him 'daddy del rey' asjdshfvfjkds

when Rob gives us a Crosby Stills Nash Grant & Young esque serve on his sophomore album

sry for this upcoming word vomit but: the line in Text Book "God I wish I was with my father/he could see us in all our splendour/all the things I couldn't want for him, I screamed for them" always broke my heart & idk what the proper interpretation on it is & I'm not gonna go into a lot of detail on mine but I always had this weird feeling it's something about how Rob couldn't always be his true self / follow his heart&dreams, maybe due to Patty too, etc. & in the long run that obviously ended up hurting Lana too.. so its just been rlly sweet to see all the get-togethers/projects in the past few years & now this new musical journey he's embarking on, "featuring daughter" we are seated for June 9th !!!!!!!!!!

unsurprised by the radio silence in this thread but anyways, re-obsessed myself w these tracks

this track has got to be one of her most stunning lyrically as well as sonically - the messages of self-love, healing, freedom & of rejecting control mean so much to me <3 "a simple life, I chose this" - is such a simple yet powerful statement & her delivery of it gets me every. damn. time. "God knows the only mistake that a man can make is tryna make a woman change & trade her violets for roses"
