    I actually think that Emma Louise and her music was truly the one that changed my life. I think thanks to her I started listening to alternative music and thanks to her I rediscovered Lana again and here I am. I think thanks to Emma, I found my style, my taste and my aesthetic. I even started learning guitar because of her. I sometimes wonder that if I hadn't discovered her, where would I be now...

    I've seen many movies, many of them are my favorites but if I'd choose a movie that would be no.1 in my list then it would be:

    THE SOUND OF MUSIC

    There's just something about the movie that is so perfect and heartwarming, all the themes, actors and their acting, chemistry, nature, aesthetics, songs, music...just so magnificent and fascinating. It's so classy too. It's probably the movie I have seen the most too, like over 10 times for sure. I loved it as a child, as a teen and I still love it. The movie is perfect as it is, this is definitely one of those movies that shouldn't be botched with a remake. Definitely deserved all of those Oscars, I'm so glad that it did! :cryney2:

    Streaming services have ruined cinema honestly. While I agree that it can be like really comfortable watching movies or series from your laptop or phone but I kind of hate the exclusiveness that revolves around Netflix (or HBO or Hulu) movies and shows. 

     

    I'm kind of one of those boring people who watch movies and series from TV...:oopna2:

    Also I don't know why I didn't mention these series in that earlier post about my favorite series, I probably forgot but Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers were so amazing series, I loved every episode of them, Nicole Kidman is one of my favorite actresses and she was so good in those series! :flutter: 

     

    Honestly, I'm more of a TV show lover than a movie lover. I love watching movies but they end too soon. If you watch a good series with many episodes, then it's a gift that keeps giving :flutter:

    i’m not just talking about the adidas looks :facepalm: 

    there were so many shows where she just wore leggings and a sweater or skinny jeans and a plain top, sometimes a black skirt and top. so boring when we’ve seen the effort she can put in for a show. cute for a day out maybe, but not for a concert you’re putting on. and of course it wasn’t all bad but the point is that these tour outfits are major steps up

    Well, yeah I mean everyone can have their own opinions.

     

    I have always loved her looks on stage honestly, even the Zimmermann dresses (altho they're not my style)

    i cannot believe some people are complaining about her cute little dresses after the disasters of LFL promo tour, most of LA to the moon tour, and nfr tour…. these are top tier show looks along with 2016 festival tour and paradise tour imo 

    I can't believe that LFL promo tour and LA To The Moon tours were considered as disaster, they were amazing as fuck, she wore many beautiful dresses there too, y'all still traumatized that she wore adidas like twice there 💀

    It's not like Honeymoon = Solar Power, I meant the reception from fans, most of y'all were shitting on Honeymoon like that when it came out in 2015 :crossed:

     

    SP is not a groundbreaking brilliant album but it still has some good songs on it you gotta admit that

    no you’re exactly right 

    i remember being a little bored with honeymoon when it came out.. and now it’s my favorite 

    same with solar power 

     

    i think because of how stripped it is, it’ll go down as her most timeless, it’s not tainted with production that screams 2013 or 2017 (melodrama i love you but those 2017 beats are 😭) 

    I think like some of the sounds and lyrics may really suggest that PH belongs to the early 2010s and Melo to the late 2010s hahah. Solar Power always reminds me of the pandemic madness somehow, but that goes for the other albums that were released in 2020 and 2021 too lol 😭

    Okay, finally going to do the lil storytime!!

    While on our way to Huntsville, my friend and I decided we wanted Italian food once we got there, and we were deciding between Olive Garden and Carrabba’s. We joked that we’d be more likely to run into Lana in Olive Garden, but we decided on Carrabba’s instead since the OG had bad reviews lol. So, we made a reservation.

    Once we got to the hotel, I began unpacking my things and realised I forgot to bring cute shoes to wear to the concert, and the only other shoes I brought wouldn’t have gone with the outfit. So, my friend and I decided we’d make a quick stop into a store somewhere so I could get shoes before we went to dinner. We looked up what was near the Carrabba’s and there was a Dillard’s right next door.

    We’re getting ready to leave the hotel, and just as I’m about to walk out the door, I think to myself that I should bring the charm bracelet I made for her with me just in case.. so I turned around to get it and put it in my purse. Thank god I did. 

    We step into the Dillard’s and we’re looking around as we make our way to the shoes. On the upper level, I thought I saw Lana’s friend Cody from a distance, and my heart immediately dropped to my stomach. I told my friend that if he was here, there was a good chance she would be too. So, our radar was out for her, but I didn’t want to get my hopes up too much especially since I wasn’t even 100% sure it was him since he was far away. We continue looking around at the cute clothes before making our way to the bottom level where the shoes were. As we’re walking to the discounted shoes - there she was. Right in front of me. Her back was turned, but I knew it was her immediately. Rob was there with her and Annie too. I immediately panic and duck behind the other side of the shoe rack, and my friend and I are in a little huddle trying to figure out what to do. I couldn’t even form a proper sentence while speaking to my friend, my mind was just full of squiggles. I really didn’t want to be rude and bother her while shopping, but I also knew this was a once in a lifetime chance to run into Lana like this. For a moment though, I almost didn’t take it. I told my friend that maybe we should just leave her alone, but eventually she convinced me to go say hi (she’s also a longtime fan of 11 years like me, but wanted me to be the one who approached her first)

    By this time, she’s standing by a table of Gianni Bini shoes watching Annie try on a pair of boots. I start walking up to where they are and I smile and wave, and she looks at me with a big smile and I say to her, “I’m so sorry, I’m so shy, but I just wanted to say hi!” & she motions us to approach her. I don’t even remember what we initially talked about because my mind was just a bunch of squiggles, which at this point were beginning to turn neon and form into fireworks. Looking into her eyes was like looking at an angel’s soul. Lana is even more beautiful in person, which is hard to imagine since she’s already so beautiful from what we see through the screen. I was just so taken by her beauty, I couldn’t even think properly.
    I then remembered I had the bracelet with me, and asked her if I could give her something I was planning to give her at the show tomorrow. She said of course.

    I pulled out the box from my purse, but before I gave it to her I showed her my charm bracelet that I wear pretty much every day that has charms of photos I’ve taken at her concerts I’ve attended over the years. She immediately pulls out her phone and begins recording my wrist, fingering through all of the charms and recalling which locations the photos were taken at. She then calls Annie over to look at my bracelet too, and they were both in awe of it for awhile. I then told her that everyone needs a charm bracelet, so I made her once inspired by Dance Till We Die, because that song is such a reminder that no matter hard life gets to just keep dancing, and that you’re never truly alone. She opens the box and I explained the charms were tied to the opening verse, and she begins singing the song as she looks at all of the charms. She then exclaims “it’s all of my legends!” and then I said “since you’re my living legend, I just had to put myself on the bracelet too, but you can take me off easily with pliers.” and she laughed and said “I would never!” 
    She took it out of the box and tried to put it on but was having trouble doing the clasp herself, so I asked if she’d like me to put it on for her. However, I wasn’t much help because my hands were shaking so bad, and I had broken my right thumb nail a few days before which made handling the clasp more difficult. When I told her my nail was broken, she said, “Ugh! That’s always the worst!” She gets the struggle.

    I then asked if we could take a picture together that I could add to my charm bracelet, and as we took the picture she said, “you look like a little princess!” which was absolutely not true as I had been sleeping in the car shortly before this and hadn’t touched up my makeup before we left the hotel. She had called my friend “baby” during their conversation, so my friend and I bought little matching plushies and named them Princess and Baby in that honour.

    She told me I looked familiar and she knew me from somewhere, and I told her we were Instagram friends. She said “you’re right! What’s your username again?” After I told her xmissdaytona, she exclaimed “Ahh! It IS you! I see you every day!”
    She then chatted with my friend and I for awhile about where we’re from, how we met (when I told her we met from working as actresses on set together, she said “that’s very glamourous!”) and she was telling us some stories about her recent shows as we mentioned we’d be at the show tomorrow. We also chatted with Annie, who is such a sweetheart, and Rob, who we told needs to do his own tour soon! He asked us where we really wanted to visit one day that he should consider for a tour, and we said Greece. He mentioned Lana wanted to go there again.

    After an incredible 10 minutes, we said our goodbyes, and I bought some shoes before heading to Carrabbas. Our visit to Dillard’s was supposed to be a quick in and out so we missed our reservation by a bit, but it was worth it. At that point, I could barely eat as the fireworks were exploding in my mind. While we were sitting at the table, I got a notification that Lana DM’d me a heart emoji on Instagram, which continued to extend my excitement that I was still on her mind.

    On our way back to the hotel, I shuffled my Lana music for us to listen to in celebration and “My Best Days” was the first song that played. How perfect, because the next day continued the saga as Lana wore the bracelet I made her to the show and even talked about it on stage. When she went to the barrier after Ultraviolence, she walked straight to me, and showed me she was wearing the bracelet. I was so touched. I didn’t expect that either, and it truly warms my heart that she loved it enough to wear it at the show. So honoured and so grateful.

    That 48 hour span has truly been the peak of my entire life. I’ll never recover from this.

    (& I know people have been wondering if I asked her any of our burning questions, but unfortunately I didn’t. I even have my own personal list of questions I’ve always wanted to ask her, but because this run-in was completely unexpected, those questions weren’t even in my mind. Again, nothing but neon squiggles & fireworks in my brain lol. Maybe next time! Xx)

    Super super super happy for you, Elle and your friend! You deserved this! It's so sweet reading stories like these! I also loved how you described the emotion as "neon squiggles & fireworks", that was perfectly said!

    We love you, our cute Princess! :aw::heart::kiss:

    While the official version of Ultraviolence title track is the best version, my personal favorite is the demo version of the song (the one which was made after Melancholia and before the official album version). :crying5:

     

    I became obsessed with this few days ago and I can't stop listening to it, I just adore Dan Heath's orchestra and the demo just soaks beautifully in the dramatic melancholic symphony, especially when she says "I can hear violins, violins", the real violins play so beautifully in the background. :crying5:

     

    Also the bridge is so beautiful too, I love both bridges of the official one and the demo, but in the demo version, her distant whisper voice saying quietly "I'll be your princesa, you give me my white lines" sounds somehow like last words when someone is dying or something like that. :crying5:

     

    And what I especially love about the demo is that it samples the magnificent, absolutely amazing symphonic intro of Blue Jeans music video which gives me shivers. :crying5:

     

    Melancholia is very very gorgeous and heartbreaking lyrically (it has one of her best lyrics, especially the chorus) but the lyrics don't flow well with the orchestral instrumental. I love Dan Auerbach's production in the official version, it feels more gothic but I somehow love the Dan Heath's demo version's production more because of the orchestra. It's really feels like a Paradise version of the song, like his remix of West Coast, really reminds me of Honeymoon aswell. I just adore the overwhelming soft cinematic tragic orchestra in his productions. I neeeeeed Dan Heath's Honeymoon era songs and demos, I really wonder why Lana scrapped all of their stuff from Honeymoon. :crying5:

    You roll like thunder, you're tryna catch that wind
    That lightning in the bottle, that moonbeam in your hand

    And you try to see the bright side when each new day begins
    But you're not satisfied at the rainbows end

    These are one of her most relatable yet crewtive yet simple yet beautiful yet poetry lyrics ever, this song hits every time I listen to it, especially the rock version :wowcry:
