how the light shines in

omg she removed that long speaking video about two different girls coming up to talk to her about the album from her Instagram. Please someone tell me you saved it, it was such a beautiful moment of her speaking candidly about her art.

every time I re-listen to Kintsugi I cry a little more i'm in awe

I have returned, I have cried, I have deliriously shaken my ass at 1:30am on a Friday morning. First thoughts I noted while listening I have hardly any words, I'm just so happy, so para-socially proud and so relived pre-release hell is over. If you have yet to hear the record, don't panic. Oh it's worth the wait. Mother Delivered. Also I stan Jack Donoghue, Goodnight

It's time, I'm off to ascend

T E N M I N U T E S

Possibly dumb question but where is the best place to go to for accurate lyrics as this drops around the world? Even with A&W I'm still finding lyrics variations from different sources

Australia! We have two hours left and I'll for SURE post a review. Going into things with zero leaks

Going out for the evening so when I get home there's only an hour or so of excruciating waiting left

WE ARE UNDER NINE HOURS TO GO IN AUSTRALIA THIS IS NOT A DRILL

guys guys guys this time tomorrow it's going to be TWO HOURS until the album drops in Australia and you bet your ass I'm ruining my sleep schedule and listening to it until 1:30am we did ittttt

"Standout track ‘A&W’ suggests so: it mimics this equation almost to scale across a grandiose seven minutes and 15 seconds, four of which are all folksy strings, as Lana casually declares herself an ‘American whore’ – “it’s not about having someone to love me anymore,” she converses drowsily, like ‘Gods and Monsters’ Lana the morning after a night of debauchery – before the song thrillingly transmogrifies into a trap-hop kiss-off with an air of the spooky." - https://www.attitude.co.uk/culture/music/lana-del-rey-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd-review-428719/ Love this reviewer pointing out the vibey link between Gods and Monsters and A&W, I don't think I'll ever be finished finding parallels to her old work in this new album

alright someone gather up all the insiders/leakers, we need to TALK

ohhh so like if there are rumours that it's missing for some leakers then ones that do in fact have it will be reluctant to say so/drop it for fear of that outing them?

okay okay okay so, hear me out, this full HQ leak without Candy Necklace has some really interesting implications for future leaks. Unless I've missed some crazy lore, that song has obviously only gone out to a few people. And therefore she has the potential to really narrow down who is involved in her process that can be trusted. Anyone with CN is currently a safe source for her and that's kind of fascinating to me. Don't mind me, just keeping my brain busy while you guys ascend and I wait until release day

so first post on Lanaboards after lurking this pre-release and it's absolute feels-shit so under a spoiler to not be annoying it goes lol
