HOW HAVE THEY KEPT THE STREAM ON if she's not allowed to go over her mic could literally just be on rn they're filming her meeting fans lmao but conducting the crowd to do video games a cappella and them screaming the words back...that's going to live on forever

show me the quote she said June 8th then should be the easiest thing in the world go on...quickly!

physicals...physicals...physicals...and since they wrote change when they were "mastering the album"...guess what? that's still not June 8 do the math ur immediate post before this was you calling me a freak...yes babe ur right here! forgot u apparently can't read though

CDs are also physical - I bought it at target that day August 13 is factually incorrect lmao the album literally got leaked from the CD a week before July 21st y'all wanna keep trying it? I listen to Lana interviews on a loop every day and was a fan when the record came out idk why you think I'm just making shit up lmao that may be what YOU do but don't project here's Lana at 1:30 confirming ...exactly...what I said

I had thoughts back to buying the album on July 21st and then Lana talking about her annoyance with the time it takes to print to vinyl and then the difference in streaming fuck it I love you and the vinyl I got...then I hit send

I don't know if this is day 1 OG but it's close to that version at least

except there's no possible way Change was recorded on June 8th because it takes 90 days to print to physical versions dumbass - that's just the day she uploaded snippet of the recording to instagram it's also not that likely that Stevie Nicks recorded in New York AND then LA between February and April 2017 because she was in Reno - Feb 23 Salt Lake City - Feb 25 San Diego - March 2 Tulsa - March 6 Memphis - March 8 Louisiana - March 10 Austin - March 12 New Orleans - March 15 and I don't feel like listing the rest but literally doing a show every other day until April 6th lastly if Love was one of the earliest songs on the record and recorded after Lust for Life then it came between September 2015 and June 2016 which is what I wrote? and again, the tracklist was not changed past the end of April, because you could buy the album in stores on CDs July 21st this is consistent with the timeline I provided and the interviews she was giving around April being the last times she mentioned Yosemite as still being on the record (V mag and Elle...like I fucking said :-)))) how about you learn to fucking read, then you won't sound so stupid fuckface - also literally not the same bc half of what was written earlier was either made up or a clear misremembering of what people actually said which is why i...corrected it and for the likely guesses I said they were...guesses lust for life stan no.1 my ass lmao shut the fuck up?? my gosh you became a stan in 2018...I was there when she was doing ig lives and posting lil vids from the recording process and following along w the interviews as they got released maybe sit this one out Mod note: User was warned for this post.

A lot of this thread is speculation or people misremembering certain quotes so here’s a little timeline of things we know (mostly) for certain - fill it in w dates verified by reliable people or insiders lol September 2015 - Lust for Life began the day she put out Honeymoon - Lana, KROQ Interview, 2017 "Work on the new album began in 2015, immediately after the completion of Honeymoon" - Kieron Menzies and Dean Reid interview, Sound on Sound Lust for Life was the first song on the record per LDR to Courtney Love for Dazed May/June/July/August (?) 2016 - 13 beaches experience June 2016 - Love is finished enough to film a video ??? November 2016 - trump election GBA WWAWWKD - was written to women who might feel unsafe walking home like she felt "less safe" after the Trump election January 2017 - women's marches, which GBA was written before February 17, 2017 - Love posters, Love leak February 18, 2017 - Love released early due to leak March 2017 - Roses bloom for you written per first LDR IG post about it “this was a special one I wrote in March called 'Roses bloom for you’.” April 17, 2017 - the Weekend after North Korea and Coachella that Lana wrote (and presumably recorded and produced) Coachella Woodstock In My Mind Around this time Change was also presumably recorded given Lana's saying the lyrics “could be about North Korea” April 22, 2017 - roughly around the time the album would be sent to printing presses for physical releases Around this time Lana said the track listing changed a lot in "the last 3 months [before July 1st, 2017]" Around this time - Yosemite is still on the tracklist according to Lana to Stevie Nicks during their V mag interview, it’s also played or sang for the interviewer for Elle Mag May 11, 2017 - "Go fuck yourself" DM to Spin magazine lmao May 13, 2017 - Coachella announced for release 4 days later July 1st 2017 "final final mix was like not that long ago cause it changed right before we started printing it to vinyl - actually it changed a lot the mix" July 21st, 2017 - release day Rough recording order - September 2015 Lust for Life - first version Love Groupie Love (with original Rocky verse) ??? Summer 2016 13 beaches (experience that inspired the song happened then, presumably written and recorded around the time) June 2016 Love video shoot ??? November 2016 (probably but this is a guess) God Bless America WWAWWKD ??? Tomorrow Never Came (Lana had done the male features before asking Stevie so if the below guess is right it was done at some point before Dec 2016) December 2016 (complete guess) BPBP - Steve was in New York during this time on tour (Toronto 11/29/16, NYC show 12/1/16) and she did her part for BPBP first with Rick at Electric Lady, so could have been then Stevie had a break from tour from December 18, 2016 - February 23, 2017 so if not when she was in New York I'd assume around this time but as I said complete guess, though it does align with Stevie being approached "late in the recording process" as per LDR to KROQ ??? January 2017 ??? March 2017 Cherry and White Mustang (?) - "at the end of the record" LDR to Zane Lowe Roses bloom for you (btw she never said this was going to be a shortened intro? Not sure where people got that) Summer Bummer (?) April 2017 Coachella - Woodstock in My Mind Change ------- Bartender January 2018 Happiness (?) Hope Love song Norman demo - hey, I heard you left town... Love - “We knew for a long time that ‘Love’ would the opening track, and ‘Lust For Life’ would be track two, and the picture of the new album emerged as we got more songs.” - Rick Lust for Life - “So basically, ‘Lust for Life’ was the first song I wrote for the record, but it was kind of a Rubik’s Cube. I felt like it was a big song but... it wasn’t right. I don’t usually go back and re-edit things that much, because the songs end up sort of being what they are, but this one song I kept going back to. I really liked the title. I liked the verse. John Janick was like, ‘Why don’t we just go over and see what Max Martin thinks?’ So, I flew to Sweden and showed him the song. He said that he felt really strongly that the best part was the verse and that he wanted to hear it more than once, so I should think about making it the chorus. So I went back to Rick Nowels’ place the next day and I was like, ‘Let’s try and make the verse the chorus,’ and we did, and it sounded perfect. That’s when I felt like I really wanted to hear Abel sing the chorus, so he came down and rewrote a little bit of it. But then I was feeling like it was missing a little bit of the Shangri-Las element, so I went back for a fourth time and layered it up with harmonies. Now I’m finally happy with it.” Summer Bummer - whoever said that thing about Rick being less involved was right “I wasn’t really involved with “Summer Bummer.” Lana went in the studio with Boi-1da and wrote that one. It’s a great addition to the album. I asked Zac Rae, who is a brilliant keyboard player and musical mind, to do some overdubs on it. We spent a few days with Boi-1da and T-Minus working on it together. I believe Rocky and Playboi Carti recorded their parts with Hector Delgado. That was one of the last songs written for the album.” - Rick Nowels Groupie Love - Lana had 4 tracks she wanted to play for Rocky, played them for his producer Hector, who said he thought Rocky would like Groupie Love. Played it for Rocky who loved it, then came down and did a verse. A couple months later he did a different verse. Then they changed the production a little bit for it to become "as you hear it now". "I was actually kind of nervous but that's one of the ones [Groupie Love] I felt changed last minute for the better" ““Groupie Love” was one of the early songs we wrote for the album. Lana had the idea to bring in A$AP Rocky. He’s a great guy; very smart and creative. His producer Hector Delgado came in too and did the beats on the song and co-produced it with us. It was a lot of fun being in the studio with them. They are super creative souls. - Rick Nowels Coachella - “And then “Coachella—Woodstock in My Mind” I wrote on my way home from Coachella when things were getting hostile between North Korea and the U.S., and all those failed missile launches, which happened the day after the first night of the festival.” - LDR

source? I agree the E spelling is so perfect - maybe it's just cause I associate RAY w AKA but for some reason it looks so polished, also it makes me think of Marina Del Rey and she's a little Venice bitch so it works

"By the time Lizzy became Lana for good, 5 Points had already released an EP from the Kahne sessions under the name Lizz Grant – and iTunes had selected Lizzy as one of the best new artists of 2008. “As we’re putting the album together, she says something like, ‘I really want to change my name,’ ” recalls Nichtern, who had been taking Lizzy and her album around the industry. “If we’re making the movie, you’d see a spit take. We’d just gotten that far with Lizzy Grant.” - David Nichtern "I wanted a name I could shape the music towards. I was going to Miami quite a lot at the time, speaking a lot of Spanish with my friends from Cuba - Lana Del Rey reminded us of the glamour of the seaside. It sounded gorgeous coming off the tip of the tongue." “I knew that I wanted a name that sounded sort of exotic and reminded me of the seaside on the Floridian coast,” she [LDR] described. “Lana Del Rey sounded beautiful to me and I wanted a name for the music that I could start shaping the music towards, just something beautiful.” "Lana Del Rey is, she says, the same person – the same artist, even – as Lizzy Grant. “There’s not, like, a schism between people,” she says. “It’s actually just a different name, and that’s sort of where it begins and ends. I just thought it was strange, being born into this geographic lock-down location, and a name that you didn’t choose, and going to school for fucking 23 years. It was just unfathomable to me." ...(cont below) "So I think in choosing that name, it was just more becoming who I was, you know? It wasn’t music-related. It was just part of my life.” The other possible name was Cherry Galore, she says, probably joking: “You’d be sitting here calling me ‘Cherry.’" tl;dr - trips to Miami with Chuck and her friends at the time - it had become Lana Del Ray by the time she released AKA and then Rey by the time Ben and Ed helped her buy back the rights to it bonus: "She says ... that while all of her friends now call her Lana—not Elizabeth Grant, her birth name—her parents are the two people who do not."

BOZ was speculating and he was wrong "I didn’t even think to go back and fix it" "I didn't go back and try to sing it better" - LDR on PWYC

I mean Lana herself said her hard drive has been remote accessed, the original mega leak was a hack, and her laptop got stolen lol there are multiple ways people might get files local only to her iPhone or laptop

u left said their relationships overlapped (wrong) and called her a cheater like seek help girl

so is it: G.B.A (God Bless America) / The Best of Lana Del Rey / The Revenge of Lana Del Rey / The World is Ours / Do U Luv Me Yet? / Born 2 Die / Born To Die Paradise 
Ultraviolence Music to Watch Boys to / Honeymoon The Next Best American Record / Lust For Life Bird World / Norman fucking Rockwell! White Hot Forever / Chemtrails Over The Country Club Rock Candy Sweet / Blue Banisters Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd / Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd Pearl Watch Me on Ring a Bell Psycho Lifeguard / reversion to OG @111I’m assuming BAR was a potential title for Lust for Life?

loud and wrong December 2013 - When Lana says she began her "protracted' break up with Barrie May / June 2014 - When barrie says he found out from interviews she was giving and when he says Lana texted him it was too hard to do in person July 2014 - "I'm single [for now]" and she was hanging out w Francesco Not until after July 2014 that she says anything about their relationship being exclusive one of the most annoying thing abt the weirdness of teenage /tik tok stans is y'all never have any concept of how real world relationships work bc of ur parasocial connections w celebs which yes have always existed in Lana's fandom but have definitely gotten 800x worse w the more of you that show up lmao - and also those parasocial relationships make y'all think everything you read or hear abt Lana is true (something she has explicitly said is unlikely to be the case) lmao remember the alleged engagement to Evan, hell even the alleged engagement to Barrie that sources then said were false after pointing out the ring she wore predated their relationship y'all gotta get some media literacy

I think it's probably safe to say "Honeymoon" (album) sessions began around the time she recorded MTWBT, and she just changed which one was the title track ala White Hot Forever - > Chemtrails - this tracks with her "15 months" quotes about the time between UV (June 2014) and HM (Sept 2015) releases also UV sessions probably ended latest in February 2014 when she announced it, as late as end of January she had tweeted "it's finished"

Rarely discussed but something I'd like to talk about is Lana owning her master recording rights and licensing them to Interscope/Polydor for her entire career... Lana Ben and Ed were truly each other's dream team and special credit to them for buying her out of her old label and getting the rights to AKA because it seemed to teach her an important lesson when she signed with Interscope...I'd just like to bask in her win It also makes me wonder about the resulting wealth that comes from owning those recordings AND having songwriting publishing rights...especially when she can still do 87,000 US pure sales in debut week in 2023 and 58,500 of those were $40 vinyls...the royalties have to be insane She's backed off the gaudy displays of wealth in recent years but even just a quick look at her real estate portfolio (neighborhood names withheld) shows she's doing quite nicely and I imagine there's a nice lump sum of cash she hasn't spent Compound Homes Lots 1&2 - purchase price $5.87 million High by the Beach House - sold for $3.2 million Tudor style house - purchase price $2.5 million Vintage cabin - purchase price $1.17 million Anyways thoughts or speculations on either point welcome

Lana Ben and Ed literally gave each other careers. She trusted them enough to be their first client and they believed in her enough to want her to be. She praises them every 5 seconds lmao the sped up versions are probably label initiatives like SS remix was but even if it was Ben and Ed you're trying to act like they're evil for giving her a bag pls lmao she did a 5 second selfie cover for her most popular release in years I'm sure she does not give that much of a fuck lmaooo.

the other producer told u that?

I actually agree despite the fact that she's not interested in the charts this would be great to cement her legacy Born To Die's commercial success gave her license to do every weird (but fucking beautiful) idea from UV to OB, everyone knows she's a master musician having queen of disaster on Spotify wouldn't do anything to negate that but I actually think with the right release strategy she could one day get a solo top 5 hit or two

"there's a name for it in Japanese it's Kintsugi" "Daddy I miss them" "flash in front of you" "and then there's Donoghue" "Mmmmmmmmm..." "that's how the light gets in" "the fourteen year old knew Froggy Came A Courtin, how do my blood relatives know all of these songs" some of these are at the upper range of her chest voice because she switches to her head voice immediately after but ugh ur such a hater at least say things that make sense!!!

I don't think y'all know what head voice and chest voice are again it's not merely limited to lower vs higher notes lmao for example Sweet - If you want some basic bitch go to the Beverly Center and find her - slightly higher notes but clear chest voice - full and warm, beautiful in tone "if you wanna go where, nobody goes, that's where you'll find me" - clear head voice "in the sweet north country, if I'm not there come to my house on Genessee" back to that clear chest voice, though the notes are not particularly low Most non soprano singers use their head voice as an ornament rather than as a main feature and I'm tired of all of you with no technical music background making nonsense critiques that essentially boil down to "I need something to complain about" like be fr omgggg it's tired!

smoker's voice definitely makes it more difficult to sing in your head voice though...which is why all people trained singer's or not naturally sing in their chest voice because it takes the least effort....hmm anyways Kintsugi, Fingertips, Taco Truck, post chorus of GPSOTSOMFWHDSF, Sweet, the Grants all say hi but it's so clear how much y'all love to hate because you think higher notes automatically = head voice I have to laugh

listening again and obsessed with Lana redoing the vocals and telling Taylor and Jack to add that piano

exactly this but also LFL was the album she was recording in an open room in Rick's studio with a sheet of a paper for that muffled effect though lmao iirc the only track she got in the actual iso booth for was BPBP but that doesn't really matter since Lana drenches every vocal and instrument track in reverb for that *chef's kiss* retro lush feel
