Guess who was stanning for Lana again in Vogue: "On set for her Vogue portraits, Beyoncé’s hauntingly breathy “Crazy in Love” remix from Fifty Shades of Greyset the scene. Later, it was Lana Del Rey’s “Salvatore” on the sound system. “I’m obsessed with her,” says Adele. “Her lyrics are fierce. The chorus of this song makes me feel like I’m flying, like that bit in your life when it goes into slo-mo. When you’ve got nothing to do and you’re staring out of the window and your mind goes to magical places.” Adele scoffs at the idea of listening to her own music."

Artistically, I don't think she's declining. She's exploring different sounds with each album, so it might be hard to take if you're super attached to a sound from one specific era of hers. You have BTD stans who keep waiting for her to return to that style of music, UV stans who wanted her to continue that way, meanwhile Lana just wants to make songs with whatever sound she finds interesting at the time. There's no denying that budget-wise things aren't as great as they were in the BTD days when she was putting out masterpieces like the Ride video. But I think this is a result of a business situation rather than because Lana is starting to suck.

Posting my final update for a long time! Here are the latest magazines I got. I wanted to post just one picture with all my mags together, but they wouldn't fit, so I have to break them up into four pics. Magazines with Lana on the cover: Magazines where Lana isn't on the cover but has a photo shoot/interview inside: My CDs, vinyls, and merchandise:

Freak Music Video Premiering February 9th

I don't mind the fact that the material in this video was originally meant for UV. Obviously I would've preferred to see Lana's original vision, but I think she did a good job reworking it for this song. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she's reusing old footage because she didn't get funding from the label rather than because she's just too lazy to film anything new. In this case, I appreciate the fact that she's still trying to give us new stuff to see. It might be "old" footage but since we hadn't seen it, it's still new in that regard. Also I think the plot of the video works fine. Just from the way they're dressed and how they look when they're not high (especially Lana when she's alone in the house) you can tell these are two hippies who are probably depressed and lost. Lana's character likes the way things are when the two of them are high (especially obvious and literal in the part where the lyric "you're cold as ice but when you're nice baby it's so amazing" plays and she puts acid on his tongue just as "when you're nice" comes up) so she gives him drugs. I like that you can get multiple interpretations of the video as well. -

Oh actually this makes a lot of sense. Like maybe in the foggy place is where they're both dying and entering this afterlife, which is why they walk off together. And then maybe the water is when they're already in the afterlife? -

I just see it as his hallucination. It's like when you daydream and you might picture real people you know in real life (him and Lana) along with people you made up. Idk this is how I interpreted the video and I'm going with it lol. -

It's still in the foggy setting, so I think she is dead. Right before this part there's that long shot of Lana drinking the Kool-Aid and it dripping out of her mouth. The emphasis on it makes me firmly believe that she knows about the Kool-Aid poison association. When I watched it I thought she died after drinking it and maybe he was holding her in his arms as she died and that's why he was present in that other realm? I don't know. I don't know if he would literally be able to do that when he's high and tripping himself. -

I loooooooooooooooooove the video. Lana looks STUNNING in the it. She needs to bring this beauty queen back. The visuals make sense to me. She's giving this man acid and taking him on a "trip" and there he meets all these beautiful women. No, it's not literally about taking someone to California, but she's still taking him somewhere. Basically to another dimension or a fantasy. I liked that the footage looked like it wasn't shot on a cheap iPhone app. My interpretation is that they both die. Lana's death is this part And his death is the last five minutes in the water. He's overdosing and it's his perspective. With that said, I thought the water parts were too long. I was really disappointed to see that she used some of the same exact footage as she did in the MTWBT video. I thought there was a possibility she would use some of this water material she had, but I expected her to at least use different parts. It also went on for way too long. I get that he's dying, but she could have cut it down to like one minute and then ended it with the shot of his face and it would've been fine. Maybe I wouldn't have this complaint I hadn't already seen some of this stuff in her previous video, but since she didn't even bother to remove the outtakes from MTWBT, all I could think about during those five minutes was how she needs to step up her motivation game. -

Only because it was originally for Ultraviolence which has that "you're my cult leader" lyric in it and the imagery she's releasing matches. Also even thought she's mentioned a Jim in a few other songs, it seems fitting that she would be referring to Jim Jones/Jim Morrison in the song. It's possible that it won't have anything to do with a cult and that it'll just end up being a bunch of footage of girls dancing around in 70s hippie outfits with no plot, but FJM being in it and looking like the typical cult leader seems like she might actually use him as a character. -

^^Actually it was the People's Temple that committed mass suicide by drinking Flavor Aid (which everyone just called Kool-Aid). Almost 1,000 people died in that situation, a lot of them murdered instead of committing suicide. There's a super interesting documentary on Youtube about it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydHRESPjBxg -

If that red stuff turns out to be Kool-Aid instead of red wine that would be so fucking perfect with the cult thing. Now all this has me speculating if the Jim mentioned in UV was referring to Jim Jones. -

Is she in LA or NY because I'm not here for waiting on West Coast time, it's only 7:46 in the morning over there.
