Cult Leader

This letter says nothing wrong and Lana can put her name to it if she likes, like the many other celebrities who have. The criticism some people seem to have is what the letter doesn’t say. I personally think that celebrities shouldn’t sign open letters which tend to be broad and bland. If they really feel they must comment, a statement should be personally issued so it can be more nuanced. I can only imagine the pressure to sign them though and avoid the “Lana Del Rey refuses to condemn terrorists” stories. If you feel it’s a mistake, it’s a small one and doesn’t mean anything anyway. Stop holding her to some sort of impossible standard please. She’s just trying to be empathetic. 

shades of cool bridge???? uhm help??

if this album is gonna be country, i want a psychedelic folk rock kind of country like what the grateful dead does. she already gave us that on the "dance till we die" bridge so i know she can give us that!

I've been manifesting an album with that sound ever since that song came out. Her best bridge. 

Now you've put this thought in my head, I need it to become a reality because it would be just too good

I’m just not sure what weight her actions carry in this case though? Regardless of if she says anything or not the situation isn’t going to change. And who is looking to Lana Del Rey for guidance on the situation between Israel and Palestine or forming their views on it based on her name attached to this letter? Like let’s be reallllll

There’s really no way to address this conflict that’s not going to piss off huge swaths of people or potentially cause more violence. 
(I’m also agreeing that it’s definitely not the best letter, but not as earth shattering and some suggest)

Oh that’s not-
its totally valid to criticise Israel as a state/government but let’s be careful not to generalise Jews 

just remind that 6-7 songs from this list might still turn out to be real

no not that anyone claimed it to exist, there are like one third of things that aren’t real or unconfirmed like morricone and piano theme confirmed to be just instrumentals, sweetheart and 80 baby never confirmed and sunset  boulevard that was never confirmed by reliable member as well

theyre the worst on the album so they really cant get any worse

The Last Song

On October 18th, Lana Del Rey and Nikki Lane were photographed by Madeline Northway at Rancho Pillow in Round Top, Texas.

well I actually wrote a whole paragraph about timeline based oneverything we know from insider and from lana, but we dont have Jamie xx versions of the songs yet and im pretty sure they arent the one that were intended to be on tropico, and Dan auerbach demo isnt the one that was supposed to be on tropico
this is what I could come up with
 

I wasn't going to put it there at first but Pink Champagne was recorded after Madly, on October 23, so i'm assuming  she scrapped Tropico and started working on Ultraviolence at least after Oct 23 2013

Hi! I wanted to make a thread where people could discuss and maybe share info about the Tropico album, because it really interests me and I'm sure some of you feel the same way! 
 
What we know:
- It was recorded during late 2012-2013 but was eventually scrapped and turned into "Ultraviolence".
- Lana announced that the short film would use three tracks from "Paradise" instead of songs from her then scrapped album in July of 2013.
- "Elvis", the laptop demo from 2008 was possibly considered for inclusion on the album, but was probably never re-recorded.
- The concept "Ultraviolence" was born and "Tropico" was scrapped sometime after October 23, 2013, since Pink Champagne is confirmed to be on Tropico's tracklist, and it is the latest known recording date we know of for any of the songs on Tropico.
 
"Tropico" track list (that we know of):
 
1. Old Money (Drums Demo)
2. Black Beauty (Demo)
3. Guns n Roses (Demo)
4. Lake Placid
5. Summertime (Janis Joplin cover)
6. Melancholia ("Ultraviolence" Demo)
7. Jesus (I Talk To Jesus)
8. Pink Champagne ("Let Me Love You Like A Woman" Demo)
9. Elvis
10. Earthquakes (Final Version)
11. Illegible
12. Illegible (Money & Power?, Fake Rolex?, Axl Rose?)
13. Illegible (Preacher?)
 
Picture of Lana's notebook with the alleged track list during January of 2013:
 
Other songs (and their recording dates) that were recorded during the Tropico sessions, in other words: songs that were recorded after "Paradise" but before the concept of "Ultraviolence" existed

Lmk what I should add!
 

ocean Blvd was a great album but I’m HUNGRY. We need something fiery. We need something hot, something grunge, something psychedelic, dark, wet, spicy, depressing, life changing, heartbreaking, soul crushing, trippy, melancholic, passionate, genre defying, incredible, showstopping………. 

Recently, Lana has followed both Harper’s Bazaar and Collier Schorr who has photographed previous cover shoots for HB (as well as for other magazines that Lana has also covered before such as Interview, T, and AnOther)
I wonder if this will result in a cover story that leads to info about LDR10.. it’s been 7 months since the release of Ocean Blvd, and 7 months after Blue Banisters is when Lana had her cover story with W Magazine where she gave us the first LDR9 tidbit with Fingertips lyrics x

lately I've been noticing the name "Lake Placid" a lot and I think that would be a good album title too

maybe she should stop the considering and start the releasing when it's about time for the grammys ballot campaigning szn 
 
 
btw, Watch me on Ring is giving...

idk… her leaked stuff is slowly getting hard to find so i hope she releases them, tho i know she wont 😔 
 
ALSO theyre getting rid even of her sirens album stuff 😰😰 like this tiktok i posted w for k got taken down 
do yall think this means smthn?

these titles sound intriguing and really sound like they’d fit in with the theme of zodiac – “for the serial killer, the prostitute pick up, and pantyhose thriller”…very mysterious, dark, and reminiscent of vintage thriller/horror films. 
 
do you guys think they’ll see the light of day on ldr10, or will we have to wait years for them to be leaked 

the more i listen to this the more i like it…it’s perfect for a cold winter day, melancholy and delicate. lana sounds gorgeous in her verse
