Black to Blue

I am a total believer in psychics and all that I don’t doubt that Lana had laryngitis and Tessa helped her out  I would do the same shit in her position.
 
Excited for her to kill it this Friday

i would say maybe she did get laryngitis but a while ago and it was mostly better, and then the stress of coachella brought back some sickness, hence it being spiritually cleansed out of her lol
 
cause it is true u can get sick from being anxious/stressed. like i get rashes and canker sores and sore throats when i’m anxious but as soon as I calm down they go away pretty fast
 
call me a weird hippy idc i see how this could be true

look, all i'm gonna say is- i know someone who has worked on lana's vocal chords for a long time (at least since she was yodeling the bridge of China Palace in the nevada desert condemned Coney island, pretty sure?) and from everything i know, she's experiencing in the human body, what is known as Bronchidoria Fallybulla....known as the thickening of one's vocal chords over a prolonged measure of time. i also know a lot of people in the medical/ENT industry that are shady, flakey, and can just be an all around pain so it sounds like this psychic was probably just hired in order to conduct a spell in which Lana's vocal chords shrank back to their normal size. This can be attributed as evidence when we examine the lower register and infrequency of her vocals at this performance of weekend one of Coachella 2024. Especially, considering her close team (ben, ed, byron, blake, sheridan. etienne, etc.) have been battling this virus themselves. As it was reportedly first discovered in the French Alps, where Lana has been seen frequently with her backup dancers , Zella Day, and even Judah Smith all going to an elusive "Retreat". I cant personally say what goes on at these so called retreats... But i do know. Plus mother is at her peak rn anyways. She was going to deliver regardless of her familial cursed bloodline.

do you really think it's not a possibility she was sick? it's not like laryngitis is something extremely rare and it can't happen to people, she didn't say it was measles

Lana & Pete

i loved that comment she made about her medium using her intuitive skills to heal her cough   

The cold warehouse causing her to have laryngitis gives me the same vibe as “I fell out of a tree when I was a child and that’s why I whisper” 
 
also I think her hair the color of the desert is a call out of the location of Coachella (a literal desert) as opposed to a lasso tease 

The casual mention of Tessa lifting her laryngitis remotely took me OUT, that was amazing. 
 
I kind of love when she gets real/messy like this and just gives it to us straight. I’m sure there’s a lot that went into his decision, but Pete departing just a month out is wild, and definitely explains some of the stuff we saw on Weekend 1. But damn, am I even more impressed with Lana, her dancers, the team as a whole, and with her ability to adapt. Big shout out to Emily, like I can’t even imagine the stress she was under the past 37+ days, and the final product was incredible. 
 
edit: Byron’s comment on that post is so sweet. I love their working relationship!

me reading these pretending i don’t also try and meditate my sickness out of me 

Tbh I don't find that bad that she believes psychics like Tessa. I don't believe every psychic in the world but I know plenty of psychics who are actually good and make sense and also whose content I sometimes follow. Idk how she treated her cough but it's probably Eastern way.

omg she looks straight out of 2016 

Lmfaoooo
 

I literally can't stop watching the candy necklaces performance..
 
Edit: had to make an emergency mp3 for spotify... in case anyone else is obsessed with it

i don't know if you guys have ever heard of her, but lana del rey  

I think Billboard were spot on calling her show "perplexing and profound." It was filled with symbolism and details; some were instant and shocking like the epic entrance, others were more obscure or thoughtful like a hologram. I see this show as a happy ending to the Ocean Blvd era and everything that came with it, especially its message -- mortality, fame and loneliness. Lana entered the Coachella field with a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers while unreleased "Jealous Girl" played as a trap remix. She graced the audience with her freshly auburn hair, sparkly baby blue dress and an overall elegance and glamour that only she can pull off these days. The stage design, a tall and detailed old mansion with staircases, balconies, plants and everything, was very reminiscent of the Gatsby mansion, as others have pointed out. Her ballerinas and choir singers looked straight out of a 1930s movie or spectacle, while her band members were rocking ties and smoking jackets.
 

 

 
Coincidentially, what's also from the 1930s is a tunnel under Ocean Boulevard in California. The "subway" as it was called, went all the way under Ocean Boulevard and conducted straight to the beach. It was connected to the Jergins Trust Building, a commercial building with over 60 shops, fancy restaurants, casino and theaters where music and dance events were held all the time; all of this during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was a privileged moment and location that only lasted a few decades as the building was demolished and the tunnel sealed. As we know, on Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, Lana uses this as a metaphor for her fame, beauty, fertility and even her life -- Nothing lasts forever, as she admits in many songs through her discography, but at least she tries to leave a legacy and a purpose behind. She held this big Jazz Age party on the Coachella Stage, where we were all invited to have a great time and appreciate an old-fashioned show; as @yourolllikethunderperfectly stated, "Lana is a star akin to older generations—when musicians didn’t spend months training, both physically and vocally, for a show or tour, but showed up as they were, just to sing, without all of the fanfare." It's all about the beauty and vulnerability of the moment.
 
"Without You", which Lana hasn't sung in 11 years, was chosen as an unexpected yet gorgeous opener. Describing a life of opulence yet feeling unfulfilled, Lana begins narrating the story of the show. It's followed by "West Coast", a song about having to choose between love and a normal life or pursuing a music career. She chooses the latter, proudly singing California anthem "Doin' Time" and later explores nostalgia and goodbye with "Summertime Sadness". Having to run away and following your intuition is a common theme in Lana's recent music, most particularly "Paris, Texas" from Ocean Blvd or "Bare Feet on Linoleum" from Violet Bent Backwards over the Grass. By the time we finish the first half of the show, we've gotten a great glimpse of Lana's early career, with hits and favorites from Born to Die, Ultraviolence and Lust for Life.
 
The second half of the show explored her newer LPs, Norman Fucking Rockwell!, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd. These albums describe a decaying, modern America; the music turns more stripped-back, sometimes only piano and voice, an uncommon decision for bombastic Coachella. She sings "Arcadia" with passion, a song about how fickle an artist's reputation can be and how critics and journalists can shift the public's perception on them. Special guests are always part of a big party, and Jon Batiste, Billie Eilish and Jack Antonoff joined to play and sing.
 
One of the most out-there things Lana has ever done live, she was absent from the stage during "Hope is a dangerous thing..."; instead, a holographic version of herself was shown singing and spinning, reminiscent of her infamous SNL gig back in 2012. A promotional billboard appeared outside the festival, which read the date of that TV performance as the death of Lana Del Rey. She comes back triumphant with "A&W" and closed with "Young and Beautiful", a very fitting ending to this story. ""Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?", an iconic line that still stands to this day. "I know you will/I'm sure that you will."
 
Gatsby was murdered in the swimming pool of his opulent mansion; you could also say he died for love. Marilyn Monroe, Veronica Lake and Elizabeth Short, whose stories are paid homage to in the "Candy Necklace" music video, all faced the darkness of Hollywood and suffered tragic endings. Lana Del Rey pays homage to them and decides to escape, this time in a caravan of motorcycles, bikers and dolled-up dancers. "Burned into my brain are these stolen images," she sang 100 minutes ago during "Without You". "Nobody warns you before the fall [...] If this is it/I'm signing off," she declared in 2019's "The greatest"; she prefers to keep her memories intact and beautiful, avoiding the decay, the demolishment, the sealing. A jazz rendition of "Young and Beautiful" marks the end of the show and Lana waves the audience while brass players in tuxedos and girls with champagne bottles play and dance over a giant cake. The cherry on top was The Caretaker's "It's just a burning memory" playing the background, making the scene feel somber and thought-provoking, but also dramatic and grand like the end of a movie. The instrumental piece is part of Everywhere at the End of Time, an album about deteriorating mental health and Alzheimer; the fear of being forgotten seems to be a major cause of anxiety for Lana, and I hope she knows she's cementing herself as a legend with each move.

Country Roads is such a harmless cover, why did it bother her so much 

thinking about the time i pissed her off on tiktok lol

pretty when you cry on your coochie 

My predictions:
 
same setlist except slightly different guests
 
thats it

get it lanita latinaim still not over this moment
I NEED IT AS A EMOJI IN HERE!!

this whole set was designed almost like a Great Gatsby's party - just like a celebration of Lana's career. and this is where it's interesting:
 
in The Great Gatsby - Gatsby was surrounded himself with the glamour, the parties, the rich, the extravaganza, the wealthy of it all and some how that was what caged him, he was a rich man but he was never free from his own wealth and social status and he died alone, inside of his own big mansion.
 
Here, we see Lana came to the party, partied hard and then get on a biker and just get away from that party while the Yound And Beautiful jazz version fading in the back as the show ends, this shows Lana has "seen the world, had her best cake, had her ball, had her fame and had her time with fame" and at the end, instead of ended up like Gatsby, she managed to escape from all of it on the biker - which means that she can never be prison to that "gatsby" curse and she will always know how to escape from it to find her own freedom - hence why she uses the bikers that referenced the Ride MV at the beginning of the show and when the show ends.
 
Lana - the genius that you are.
