    I hope she debuts a never performed song in the place of flip side for every show! Just so we can have live performances to watch of things we’ve never seen before

    Lana's backup singers and dancers made Instagram accounts showing behind the scenes pictures and videos if anyone wants to follow them:
    @honeymoon_angelsingers
    @lanas_ladies
     
    Its such a cool idea, I love seeing behind the scenes stuff like this!

    This album is truly the sister to Ocean Blvd and I looove thinking about their bond  Blue Banisters is diurnal, campy and botanical, and I think of it like a scrapbook, like a collage of moments and eras. Ocean Blvd is nocturnal, existential, unpredictable, and more like a long string of thoughts, shifting moods and metaphors. The imagery of her awake in bed in the dark is very evocative of this concept. BB is a restless day, OB is a sleepless night. I love these 2 albums oh my God!!!

    it's not one of the best, but it's not "bad" either. I just wish some songs had a better mix. 
     
    although If You Lie Down With Me and Thunder are among my favorite Lana songs.

    The thought of listening to albums full of just piano ballads sounds sorta boring but when I listen to and immerse myself in the album it's makes me sooo sentimental

    I really thought she sounded amazing... Of course, she was nervous because it was the first show in years (and with such a huge crowd) so she had a few stumbles here and there, but overall she sounded really good
     
    You could see she was building up her confidence as the show went on... so maybe she will be even better next show!

    My theory; I think VG was the perfect song to finish on
     
    I hate when people diminish Lana’s earlier work to being all about boyfriends and relationships and shit (I mean a lot of it is but it’s not JUST about that). But it is also evident that bfs & relationships are big impacts on her and on what she writes about
     
    She’s spoken at length about the process she had of writing Video Games - about a relationship where she’s essentially given up her plans as a writer/singer to live a life of domesticity with her man. A lot of people play it at their weddings and I’ve never known why because it’s beautiful, yeah, but it’s so damn sad. Not just melodically - but the overarching themes break my heart
     
    And ofc we all remember the infamous Dublin performance where L broke down singing VG on stage. Singing “it’s only worth living if somebody  is loving you” at a time when felt like she wasn’t - not just in a relationship sense but in terms of fans too, being villianised by the press, being openly suicidal - is beyond heartbreaking to think
     
    But now she’s SO much happier and healthier, which is a point she’s stressed repeatedly in interviews and is apparent to see even in candid and fan photos. She told Rolling Stone in March that she has passion for making music (or words to that effect, can’t double check rn) for the first time in a decade. She’s just released an album full of healing 
     
    So to me it makes perfect sense to use VG as a closer now. A) it shows full circle how far she’s come from those days when she couldn’t sing it without breaking down and B) with all the self-reflection she’s done on family and friends and so on, the lines don’t HAVE to be about a partner anymore. To me, when she says “it’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you…” she’s saying it to her fans and loved ones, because THEY are the ones she lives for now. And also for herself! I like to think she’s addressing past Lizzy on the stage of Arlene’s Grocery with her lil guitar telling her… this is for you, too, kid.
     
    (I haven’t taken my mood stabilisers yet so please excuse me.)
     
    So she’s sending her fans back out into the world after her performance telling them… this was for y’all. I think it fits beautifully. 
     
    (In the same vein I think Get Free would also work, but VG ties the whole healing shit together better)

    honestly so happy she's back to performing - no matter the setlist just getting to see her perform and look like she's enjoying it too is just  living in the best timeline fr

    It was meant to have an outro though, so we’re not sure how it was meant to play out.. maybe the vision will become clear next week! Tbf I think video games is a good closer.. it’s full circle from where she started, and the sentiment is still the same but different, she endures the fame for the love of her fans

    the way lana sings "like snow like snow oh yeah" in the end is like she is really tired of the song and wants it to be over lol

    ohhh that’s a really good new music friday placement for an unreleased song…
     
    all the girlies are gonna see it and go “omg finally i can add this to my playlist fr!”
     
    even though it’s not at its peak on tiktok anymore, it still gets a lot of uses, and before they were taken down, the youtube/spotify uploads were still gaining really good traction by the day. 
     
    i don’t think it’s one of those songs that just dies immediately after it trends… this song is timeless i fear… it will be on par with summertime sadness, young and beautiful, video games, etc as one of the first songs people think of when they hear lana del rey…. mark my words
