There’s just no other musician making better art than this. She’s the most fascinating person alive to me

If the BTS hadn’t been part of the MV, it would have been something stunning, like the COCC MV, but it would have lacked some dimension IMO.
 
plus the BTS mirrors the sound of OB, where there are so many flaws from the takes that ended up on the final mixing of the songs, to embrace imperfections to heal and grow. Here, it’s like she explains, there’s the persona and there’s the real woman. And it ties with the complex image of the Candy Necklace, that I see as an empty or ephemeral promess (unlike diamonds that are supposed to be forever).
 
urgh her mind!!!! 
i didn’t care for a big MV for this era…I take back my words, this is perfect. 

I don't know about failing the intelligence test.. I love the video but obviously there are going to be people who prefer a more professional, intentional, and well done video. It's not acknowledging the truth imo to pretend like anyone who doesn't like it doesn't get it. People can get it and have critiques
 
But for me personally.. lala ate down    and anyone who doesn't like it should re consider Lana's art and where she is right now, she's over all that (at this specific moment in time).... and also you guys should consider that you're literally proving the point of the music video.. that you guys want the movie version of her (the pretty film footage) and not the real version of her (the behind the scenes footage)

how the FUCK has this music video been out for 16 hours and i've just learnt abt it lol  

the video makes me love the song more and the song the video more

going to add to this again. in a way, it feels like a lot of this video is commentary on her eras - how she's changed, holding onto this necklace that's either been someone's promises to her to make her famous or to love her or whatever it might be. then the promises broke, so she turned and learned (wildfire wildflower teassss) and by the end of it, she's making a commentary that if she would've just stayed in this one style of btd or lfl, she would already have the hollywood walk of fame star but she didn't so she knows the music she's making won't be what the industry "wants"

Before the video I thought “White fire, cinnamon on my teeth and I’m sitting at a stoplight in northern town. I feel lucky.” was Lana going back to her hometown after her fame and every fucked up thing she has seen on Hollywood but after seeing the video I think it’s actually the opposite. It’s young Lana/Lizzy getting ready to leave her hometown, she is on the verge of a new beginning and she feels lucky. It also ties with how she drives somewhere out of range, somewhere far away. I don’t understand what white noise coming out of brain means but maybe it’s her getting robotic and losing herself on the journey of fame? 

To me “where do we go from here” is her letting go of the expectations that have been put on herself not only from the industry but from herself. Doing the things that make her truly happy and not sticking to the norm. The whole album has revolved around self reflection and self acceptance.. so the visual actual ties it up pretty perfectly 
 
It’s kinda ironic, because her latest album has echoed her earlier work too with the samples and lyric references.. and then I’m the MV with the glamour and it’s gotten everyone really excited. “Yay we got old Hollywood glamour back” or “we got her old sound back”.. but have we? Is that what she’s trying to do? In a sense I think, despite loving those aesthetics, she was at her unhappiest in those early days.. and felt maybe she was putting on too much of a persona.. I.E. world building
 
who knows where she is going from here.. I suppose only time will tell 

Still gagged they had my mother in MULTIPLE lace fronts. Like thats drag mama… the gowns the wigs the makeup like oh my gawd. And the way she can emote so much through her eyes while barely shifting expressions is insane, she know how to create a mood. Shes art! 

Her best music video ever. I can't stop thinking about it! 

I just rewatched it after work and wowwwww. I think this is easily my fav mv since chemtrails. Its dark, even for lana, but it is done so tastefully  and each time i watch i see the artistic vision more and more. I have a theory that maybe the two men represent lanas directions in the music industry. The older man seems like he could be playing a producer, someone who offers a lot of fame but is looking to take advantage of it. Jon’s character represents the artistry behind the music. The artistry is where shes happy, but she knows what is expected of the art she produces. In the end, we see her without either of them and i think that represents her choosing herself first, because if she does that she doesn't have to lose herself or her artistry. I could keep going i have so many thoughts😭😭😭

one of my fav videos from her… really intense and thought provoking 

ok but this video is amazing lmao
 
the layers of interpretation, how it echoes to many themes on her album and life/career 

Loved how it started with the shot of her driving through the pine. It really reminds me of the northwest which is exactly the vibe I get from the song with its eerie production, violins, and the melody. She had such a vision when making this song, I really hope she keeps the energy for whats to come next

I had my 78 year old grandma watch the video (she adores Lana) and she CRIED 
she said, and I quote, “she knows exactly who she is” yess grandma. Leave those lights on for me gurl

WOW fucking amazing, what a creative and thought-provoking video. Lana is a genius, I had chills watching. Powerful and unsettling. Can't imagine complaining about the "BTS" it's literally the whole concept of the video lol

There's no Ocean Blvd merch coming this week.

There's only 22 copies of the explicit cover vinyl for all you late deciders

My jacket came in the wrong size today . Emailed her store and hoping that they can send me the correct one. 

Ok, so what are we theorizing about the ending? She said it would indicate "where we go from here" and I'm not sure if I really understood what she was going for. Unless we're meant to interpret it as her in Heaven, and that somehow being connected to "Say Yes to Heaven" since it's been reported she's releasing that?

She’s so perfect.

Parallels of the Candy Necklace video and her other videos from her past 9 records  What a beautiful 15 years x
 

Kinda random but I NEED a video for Paris Texas where she goes to all the places that she mentions in the song, like a little journey with Lana.

after this cinema masterpiece she's prone to get one
