cominguplavender

ya i picture like lana went grocery shopping and she has her hands on the bags on the counter and she just starts spiraling over all her history in that silent moment or something

y'all just love to hate a ballad. lana put her heart and soul into that song and that's what i listen to her music for

1. Ocean Blvd - faves: kintsugi, a&w 2. Blue Banisters - faves: text book, bbs 3. NFR - faves: hope is a dangerous thing, mariners 4. Paradise - faves: god and monsters, american 5. Honeymoon - faves: swan song, the blackest day 6. Chemtrails - faves: white dress, yosemite 7. Lust For Life - faves: 13 beaches, get free 8. Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant - faves: pawn shop blues, raise me up 9. Ultraviolence - faves: cruel world, ultraviolence 10. Born to Die - national anthem, btd i love every album though obviously none below an 8/10 you're missing #8 haha

i overplayed lust for life (track) when i got into lana and now i barely listen it's like my least fave from the album even though i know it's a good song

also what does she mean by "i have good intentions even if i'm one of the last ones" last ones of what lol i'm struggling

speaking of unpopular opinions lmao my favorite lana song is genuinely text book and the only thing that could surpass it from this album could be kintsugi or maybe fingertips... idk the verses, the switch ups, the chorus, the post chorus or whatever it is... genius. "do you think if i go blond we could get our old love back?" "you know i'm not that girl, you know i'll never be"

but... arcadia >>> candy necklace

reminds me of the last line of the full title of Fiona Apple's album When the Pawn... : "And if you fall it won't matter, cuz you'll know that you're right"

zella and natalie are so talented and were great on that song

i watched the whole live. so cathartic

i love the production on blue banisters, wildflower wildfire, and text book, so gabe simon, mike dean, zach dawes... those songs are just different somehow.

i can see that too! i thought Jack immediately just because it seems that the song is like "we're in a kinda-relationship, not fully committed to each other, but we could be and you know where to find me" and i feel like that applies to jack because we don't even know if they were ever official and it seems kinda impermanent, whereas with sean they were quite public but also her talking about "what was said and what didn't get said in the midwest" could be sean, like Tulsa Oklahoma (i think that counts as midwest?) BUT it could also be the trip she took to the Chicago area with Jack when they visited Cook County Jail and took that iconic picture

I feel like Sweet, Candy Necklace, and Kintsugi are like the trio of songs on the album set within her relationship with Jack Donoghue

i'm confused because she says she was 15 and 4 months when she went but then says she turned sixteen on the way there lol?

ok guys so idk if this is the right forum for this but i don't know what is so i'm just putting it here i also don't know if this has been discussed here before, i tried searching and didn't find anything ever since lana talked about going to Spain as a teenager in her bb release insta live i've been wondering about it because there's like nothing about it on lanapedia or anything and i never see people talking about it. so i just transcribed a convo she had with lanaisababe on the live, idk if lanaisababe has an account on here but if so hi queen let me know yalls thoughts about this but like she really revealed a lot of info in this convo so here it is (excuse any issues with my spanish i'm not a spanish speaker just someone who's learned just a little bit in school, sorry) Starting at 44 minutes into the BB release day Instagram live: lanaisababe: how did you learn spanish-- you went to... i think you went somewhere, right, to learn spanish? lana: Yo puedo entender mejor que yo puedo hablar pero si yo fui a españa cuando... (i can understand better than i can speak but yes i went to spain when...) lanaisababe: lo esto fue a españa... ( ... went to spain) lana: *nods* españa... tuve quince años para cuatro meses (i had been 15 years old for four months) lanaisababe: quince-- oh conocer tenia quince años (you visited when you were 15?) lana: si, despues de escuela. (yes, after school) *switches to english* because they didn't let me go home lanaisababe: oh... lana: y tuvo {i think she's saying tuvo where she should be saying tuve} un novio de *cuts out* (and i had a boyfriend from ... ) lanaisababe: Oh! Usted tenia un novio de españa? (oh you had a Spanish boyfriend?) lana: no de... well de argentina (no, Argentinian) lanaisababe: oh de argentina... pero... oh wow, ok, y usted aprendio {?} español ... (oh Argentinian, ok and you learned spanish...) lana: un poco, un poco, it gave me inspiration it gave me inspiration... y tambien vivo en los angeles so... and en mi escuela yo tuvo una *clarifies with lanaisababe that maestra is female teacher* yeah i had a maestra she was so good. i know you guys are laughing at my spanglish but i donttt careee *whisper joking voice* lanaisababae: no it’s really good! It’s really good. And you weren’t there for long, right? Like, Spain? lana: mmm no… not really, but it was weird like… it was weird like as soon as i was 16 like i was like almost fluent, like i was there for maybe like four or five months, but i had a family there, and like i had a spanish sister, spanish mom, and all i remember them saying was like *spanish accent* “lizzy! Apaga la luz! Apaga la luz!” lanaisababe: oh, turn off the light turn off the light– Lana: because i would leave the house with like the radio playing, the lights on, like i had no concept of like burning energy and that was what i was famous for. They were so angry but like… yeah i remember everything. They had an American bar, no i think it was called… i think it was called “The American Bar” and i used to drink so much tequila because, i was like 16 and i could! And that was also like they had absinthe there lanaisababe: they had what? Lana: absinthe… *shakes head* you don’t need to know… lanaisababe: i’m not sure if i know what that is but what was your favorite part about spain though? lana: well first of all it was kind of confusing because i’d been sent to boarding school and i like wasn’t allowed to come home, so i went straight to spain to santender (idk if that’s right) en el norte… don’t mind my– don’t mind my *smiles* accent lanaisababe: no, no it’s good Lana: so it was amazing but like i definitely felt like very alone, i went with like a lot of other kids and luckily they were super nice but like i didn’t know any of them. I remember on the plane ride there they gave me a little cake that said sweet sixteen because i turned sixteen in the air… and i was like this is cool but it’s also like “am i ever gonna go home?” so yeah i remember that there were nude beaches in Santender and i was like not as cute as the other girls and i was like “i am never gonna do this, never” lanaisababe: oh no you’re cute! …oh my gosh that’s so funny

if you don't believe me, my poetry, or my melodies feel it in your bonesss

but nikki is on one of the vinyl sleeves front and center and it hasn't been thatttt long ago that lana's performed with her right

kinda tmrw never came in a way...

omg i just freaked out cuz i thought that i remembered her wearing a candy necklace in the selfie pic that was the cover for rock candy sweet and the first three bb singles but it's not it just looks kinda like one ):

i mean it's pretty but it's also inherently temporary... like ur gonna eat it, maybe that has something to do with the meaning?

this made me decide to plan to the record store and see if i can get a second vinyl, i ordered the amazon exclusive back in december but now i want another + i want to support lanita at what point does the first week sales cut off? is it this whole coming week or does it stop this friday

i actually like how jack sings his verse in margaret... also i'm hyperfixating on "and you think about who will be with you / and then there's donoghue"

KING ROB!

wish i didn't already know who he was lol everyone loves him where i live

mine is 1. Kintsugi 2. Did you know... 3. A&W 4. Grandfather 5. Sweet 6. Fingertips 7. Taco Truck x VB 8. The Grants 9. Fishtail 10. Let the Light In 11. Paris, Texas 12. Margaret 13. Peppers (needs to grow on me) 14. Candy Necklace (feels disjointed, i just need more time with it) 15. Jon Batiste (i actually really like this one but i'm not gonna put an interlude over a song lol) 16. Judah Smith (i appreciate lana's artistry with this and can even enjoy the interlude somewhat but it's also a little triggering lol)
