Like realistically the album will leak, but I'm dreaming that it doesn't leak until the week of. Most people don't tend to listen to leaks that close, and even if they do it tends not to dramatically effect sales. Midnights leaked like 2 days beforehand, and sure people were listening and talking about it online, but that barely affected sales, and nobody even really remembers that it leaked because it was so close to the release date

This caught me off guard because this did NOT sound like Hayley in the chorus

Honestly I find that time really flies when I listen to it. It's one of my most listened to Taylor songs on Last'fm (and my account dates to 2017 when Rep came out). Maybe it's just cause I love Red and I prefer Jack's production compared to the originals. I also just love the anger aspect compared to the originals sadness. I could see why it could be seen as excessive though, but for me personally I just love the Red era and album, and that song encapsulates the sound and wide range of emotion that that album contains.

I truly believe Taylor has gotten into a rut with her songwriting, where she's stuck in 2016, because nothing of note has really happened since then. When things have happened, she has written pretty great songs, but Lover and Midnights feel like Reputation 2 and 3. She also seems to just not be able to write a song without including a god-awful millenial lyric that pulls you out of an otherwise well-written track. Maybe she had always written kinda cringe lines, but they felt way more tongue-in-cheek because she was a part of the younger generation, and had a better understanding of the cultural landscape, but now it comes across as forced or awkward. folklore and evermore were pretty incredible, Lover and Midnights also have some pretty incredible songs, but I fear that her musical peak has passed if she doesn't take a step back, work with new producers, and experiment with different genres. To compare her to Joni Mitchell, she was taking risks with her music and sound at this point in her career, creating albums like Hissings of Summer Lawn, and Hejira. the folkmore albums felt like a step in Taylor's artistic development, but Midnights was a giant step back. And that photoshoot, that incredible 70s inspired photoshoot, wasted on a pretty standard pop album. I feel like such a hater, but I'm not, I am a huge fan of her music, her albums from her debut to 1989 are some of my favourite albums, and the folkmore albums I adore, but I cannot stand seeing her songwriting potential being wasted on "safe" music. Midnights was such a giant disappointment, and I really hope she doesn't continue down this route, when she could be delving into rock, folk, jazz, chamber, ANYTHING.

That would be really useful if you could!

Her recent post put me in a mood to just lie on my bed and stream Hi How Are You

I thought the photo was real considering this photo

Wait no like what if the pastor interlude is inspired by outsider music (or maybe a lot of the album is inspired by that genre) omg

She’s found a way to connect Cola to her pussy so she’ll find a way

Gonna delude myself into believing this so i can believe in something

Gonna be honest I had no idea A&W was a thing cause I’m not American. So whenever I saw the track name I assumed it was some weird phrasing of “American Whore” like “American & Whore”…

I'm actually creating two separate album worth of 2010-2011 leaked tracks using the names The Revenge of Lana Del Rey (for tracks like Jealous Girl, Is It Wrong?, St Tropez) and The World Is Ours (for tracks like Never Let Me Go, Afraid, Queen of Disaster). Mind you these "albums" are almost 30 tracks long, plus I have a BTD Outtakes album too

basically the entirety of BTD

Thank you so much! I'm in the middle of organizing my unreleased collection by outtakes, and I've realizing I don't have EMGHW anywhere. I couldn't decide between putting it on the BTD outtakes, having it be on one of my BTD sessions albums, or the album of tracks between LIzzy and Lana

Maybe the wrong thread to ask this, but would Every Man Gets His Wish be considered a BTD outtake? It's from 2009, but do we think she would have considered it as a part of her album sessions, or would it be classified as a part of that weird time period where she was just starting off and working out the Lana Del Rey persona?

OK but so what tracks have ACTUALLY been confirmed. And no fake fish ones

We know this is fake cause the closer has been confirmed to be "Jerry's Story"

"washing my hair, doing the laundry" is OUT "reeling in fish, cooking up Jerry" is IN

Thinking of Dming Lana and flat out just begging for visuals this album, even if she's just eating a fish or something idc

listening to it rn after not hearing it for months and omg it is still incredible. Having that like ig video of her lipsynching when Starboy came out and the Party Monster vocals... AND THEN we got LFL era a few months later, omg that was such a great time to be a Lana stan. Plus all the UV era leaks that came out in 2016

I'm DYING for her to do a Shape Of Water inspired video for this album

hopefully!

Our honeymooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon, our honeymoooooooooooooooooooooooooon, say you want me tooo

my pussy tastes like fish,
