one time beauty queen

It’s dropping tomorrow 5pm gmt with the Ocean Blvd/A&W double music video (manifesting)

of course any discussion on anything should be conducted in a mature, respectful matter- goes without saying. why wouldn’t critiques on Jack or producers in general be valid though, if critiques on the song are ? production is a obv a HUGE & important part of what makes up a song.. production IS the song too…(and can make or break it in some cases) it’s not exactly “frivolous” imo, it goes hand in hand with the lyrics / singing.

why does anything less than a totally positive reaction to the song have to be considered nitpicking & meaningless discourse tho personally i find it interesting/ refreshing to see some diff perspectives than “‘magnum opus” “best thing since VB” etc let the ppl speak!!!!!!! edit: typos sjsjsj

wow they're pissed at OP lolol, but idk- I think there is an interesting discussion that could be had about the whole Jack situation if everyone just calmed down a bit. I can see good points from both sides tbh

Ppl can observe /bring up the obvious similarities btwn various productions while still also liking n appreciating the song, no?

It's crazy hearing them all back to back like this.. Jack has talked a lot about putting the artists vision first, but at this point it's obvious he is trying to develop a style where you think of him, Jack Antonoff the producer, before you think of the actual artist imo (very Phil Spector esque minus the drug & gun use) Some of the girls might wanna consider cutting him out from production duties if they want their sound to stay unique/different. The bleed between prods is too obvious now

thursday just seems so random, i don't think it'll happen but tbh maybe that's a sign it will happen

it's a bit like 'On The Run', isn't it?

it is GORGEOUS i am so obsessed w/ how the photos from this shoot work so well w the apple feature where the person is brought into the foreground or wtvr, idk how to say it but yeah- I did one too the otha day

to each their own for sure, i get it bc like i said that song did have me in a chokehold for those couple years! Lana lyric tattoos are always cool

somethin about the way she sneezed makes me feel like i just wish i had an antihistamine, something to get her by

the MAC lyrics became v cringey to me over time- when it came out ('18)/thru NFR era('19) it was one of my most played Lana tracks but now I very rarely play it & when I do it's just for the soundscape or bc I'm listening on vinyl tbh. "I'm the bolt/board, the lightning, the thunder, kinda girl who's gonna make you wonder who you are & who you've been" as well as " They mistook my kindness for weakness, I fucked up I know that but Jesus, can't a girl just do the best she can?" & "catch a wave & take in the sweetness, think about it- the darkness, the deepness- all the things that make me who i am" too slightly make me go . like i get what she's saying, i just wish she didn't say it like that. maybe its too, for lack of a better word, self-indulgent for me now or something? I guess that's just a circumstance of growing up tho, some music stays behind.. 15&16 y/o me are still v grateful for it

well speaking of lyrics tho i really hope its "I'm a princess, I'm divisive, ask me why I'm like this- maybe I just kinda like this" vs. "I'm a princess, I'm divisive, ask me why I'm like this- maybe I'm just kinda like this" 1st one is slighty more cunty imo both are giving, so we win either way but you know

Ohhhh okay, i'll wait for those vinyl dust jacket lyrics then (I hope A&W gets written out for us)

who is 'her' who is walking 'her' into Lana's bedroom??? lana or someone else?? whats this mean is someone watching them fuck what slay lyric about being able to breathe kind of random but slay nonetheless amy who? time to reanalyse girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what if it actually does matter that Lana was at the Ramada??? because whenever ppl strongly try to convince you something "doesnt matter" it usually does no jk, but nonetheless, i always do like doing these sort of delulu deep dives into the places or people she mentions - i thought this is just cute bc like #shesstillthesame lol <3 then I found some photos of the Ramada Inn from the 1960s, this one caught my eye as it was located in Vernon, Texas.. right on the border to OOOOklahomaaa! unfortunately, it burned down in October 2007, it had been remodelled to an 'Executive Inn' by then but it made me think of Lana's poem The Land of 1,000 Fires mentioning Vernon- "Vernon everything's burnt here there's no escaping it the air is fried and on fire"

"I say I live in Rosemead, really I'm at the Ramada- It doesn't really matter, doesn't really really matter"

don't know if it's alr been mentioned, but just wanted to let everyone know the spotify A&W lyrics have been corrected!

probably these, off the fact i'm a whore for the color pink alone lmaooooo /// /// /// ///

a heavy burden lifted from my soul, i learned that love was out of my control

funny cause i remember pondering "does this just mean it's romantic or does it resemble the Love Song of NFR somehow sonically?" though i do believe the insiders just mean its very lovey-dovey with those lyrics about having children & getting married & all. curious about it too though, especially with it sandwiched btwn title track & AW

A&W - Lawna Del Rey

Harry Nilsson has a song

"I'm a princess, im divisive, ask me why im like this, maybe i just kinda like this" gets cuntier w each listen
