I wonder if Kintsugi will make another appearance before March 24th there really isn't much to spill now that we know basically everything, except for lyrics ig? I know lyric spoiling isn't everyone's cup of tea but maybe he can tell us something else idk

Me too specially after seeing that A&W sampled Norman so seamlessly. It'll be amazing I'm sure of it

My fave lyrics from each track of this absolute GEM. It's probably my fave album to listen to from start to finish Kill Kill: Love you, I do/ Stay here, I won't/ The stars fade from your eyes Queen of the Gas Station: Look at you smoking in the neon lights/ Under the thunder/ Yo you look so nice Oh Say Can You See: The night time is almost ours/ To wander through alleys/ And look at the bars/ Nighttime is almost ours (her delivery of these lines ) Gramma: Don't cry, honey, crazy girl/ Don't you know you are the world? For K Part 2: I like the way you wear your sweater off your shoulder/ The way your hair comes down and makes you look older/ How'd you so handsome, my boy? Jump: Palm trees in black and white/ You are a junkie on your window smiling wide Mermaid Motel: Maybe we could go to Coney Island/ Maybe I could sing the national anthem Raise me Up (Mississippi South): I can talk what I want/ How I wanna/ I don't have to talk taste for your mama/ No, no, no (PLS this song goes so hard) Pawn Shop Blues: Well, I pawned the earrings that you gave me/ Golden metal flowers dangling/ And I almost cried as I sold them off Brite Lites: Put Me in a Movie: You can be my daddy Smarty: Say I make you feel like/ Like you did, like you did, when you were thirteen/ Say I make you feel like/ When you were the dirty heavy metal king Yayo: It only takes two hours to Nevada/ I wear your sparkle, you call me your mama Lizzy Grant you'll always be famous ♥

Are the stream numbers only from spotify? Like, I mostly use youtube, listened to A&W on spotify on premiere day and that was it

Who is this bald man and why do I keep seeing so many people worrying about his opinion?

I'm on episode 1 of season 15 right now and Aura is making me cringe so hard I love it

wonder if it's gonna be a or a lyric. Also, opening or closing line?

It's kind of a joke lmao it's just because the lyrics we know go like this

No, there's no reworked/scrapped songs on the new album

Run motorcycle

I knew some site probably had drag race for free but I was just too scared to go looking for it and then entering a phishing link or something I'm so excited for this year's AS season, thank you so much

Not this being the first drag race season I'm not watching since 2020 mtv doesn't have a free trial to watch online, fuck you mtv

Ok, writing is not my forte but I'll bite. English is my second language so I'll probably make some grammar mistakes but here we go: So, my favorite thing about the way Lana writes is that a particular song can have several meanings and interpretations, with several layers to be uncovered. Arcadia in particular is a loaded word - at first glance, it's a city in LA county and Lana reinforces that by comparing her body to a map of LA. But since I'm not from the USA, the first thing that popped in my head when I read the title Arcadia was Arcadism. The name derives from the greek utopian myth of Arcadia, an idyllic place which was a safe haven for poets and artists in general. It is one of the most popular literary schools in romance languages, specially in lusophone countries such as Portugal and Brazil. Arcadism was a reaction to the previous literary school, which was Baroque, known for its grandeur and excesses. As Lana fans we may be familiarized with Baroque Pop which was one of the genres of her albums Born to Die, Paradise and Honeymoon. Lana started with a "new sound" and a "new way of writing" after Lust for Life, so I believe that naming a song Arcadia is her way of saying that she is really distancing herself from exaggerations in her music and in writing. Thus, she is becoming more and more personal, real and brutally honest with each album. One of the main characteristics of Arcadism is more simple language and exaltation of country life/a simple life in detriment of urban life/materialism. Arcadians cut useless aspects of life and seek simple things, rich in spiritual meaning. I find that to be true for most of Blue Banisters' songs - many allusions to nature, Lana wishing for simplicity and making more mundane observations, simple songs that read almost as lullabies (specially Cherry Blossom and Sweet Carolina). This was her Arcadian moment. This is the meaning that Arcadia always held to me personally. But a few days ago, I came across a painting called "Et in Arcadia Ego", which can be translated to "Death too is in Arcadia". Again, many possible interpretations, one of them being a mement mori: death will come for everyone even if they live in a perfect place such as Arcadia. There is a play inspired but this painting - Arcadia by Tom Stoppard. One of the most proeminent themes of the play is time as a steady march to death. This made my reflect on the line: "In Arcadia, Arcadia All roads that lead to you are as integral to me As arteries that pump the blood that flows straight to heart of me" And I interpret that in 2 ways: firstly, it's Lana saying that being a poet is as integral to her as her own heart. Secondly, that all roads in life lead to inevitable death, so living is essentially walking towards death. The way she uses the heart/blood metaphor which is the essence of being alive is so beautiful. So in my own personal headcannon, Arcadia is like a sequel to Born to Die (the song), even though Lana said "listen to it how you listened to Video Games", I personally listen to it like I listened to BTD. I needed to write at least a thinkpiece about this song because I've loved it since it came out. Imo it's one of her most well written songs and nothing will ever change my mind about that.

The lore of this thread is so crazy... can it get even crazier until March 24?

Does a song need to be technically perfect for me to think that it's perfect? Nobody's going to catch me overanalyzing every aspect of the song and trying to find things to complain about instead of idk appreciating music history being made

Where do I apply to be the intern whose job is to try to figure out what Lana Del Rey sings? Looks like a dream

Nina should seek help

idk that song sounds so intriguing to me, unironically one of the songs I look forward to the most

Mods pls don't move lyric gate to the random thread I want to log on lanaboards.com when I'm at the nursing home to read this back and laugh my old ass off

Who was the user who made a pre-release thread bingo card??? Bet you didn't see "teenager emailing spotify because of fake lyrics" coming

or maybe like this
