yep and I think that was also the intention with her covering stand by your man at the recent shows. I think she felt more compelled to speak to her rather than him. I think that's powerful. 

Label budgeting is so idiotic. They are only willing to do 2-4 minute videos because of TikTok. It's the same reason mainstream pop artists make 3 minute songs. 
Lana is right, nowadays most people only have the attention span of like one minute.

okay serious answer here:
 
Following the TikTok boom, labels are no longer giving money or budgeting for music videos because they see YouTube and videos as a dead format that doesn't generate revenue or adequate promotion for the artist or them.. Clearly Lana is an artist that appreciates the visuals and views them as complementary to the overall narrative which is probably why she makes home videos the most- considering they probably don't even allocate budget for professional MV. My guess is that she really wants to prove them wrong and also potentially push them for MV budget allocation for the future.

okay cinnamon girl might actual distract them 

what are they asking for?
We know she can sing that... I mean we have the Million dollar man performances with even more insane vocals. Come on girl
I understand tho, if she hasn't warmed up her voice properly... not a good idea
 

I no longer think what she soundchecks is a definite indication of what she'll actually play. We've been clowned one too many times. 
I hope she does it tho and I think she might given it was actually requested yesterday. I love that song.

her hair was not in the faux bob when fans met her earlier so I think we're getting something different tonight

I've said this time and time again. With lana nothing is a coincidence, every single thing she does/says is with intention and I love that. 
People are hating on the cover too btw and it's such a shame because her rendition is absolutely beautiful. 

Jon Batiste:
Never second guess yourself
'Cause we were fallin', darlin', from the start
Always listen to your heart
'Cause we were fallin' from the start
 
Lana Del Rey:
You're happy until you're not
Yeah, you see into your heart
I read an article about a star who said that standing in the shadow of her husband felt so dark
Reminded me of you and I because
That's very much the way our story was
Because my biggest blessing 
My biggest blessing
He got so mad, there in a flash, in just one second
I became his life lesson
I'm his life lesson
Now
 
Jon Batiste:
Going through this world alone
Here to now right my wrongs
Shadow into the light
From the start, it was all in all
Fears of a place and time
When the space was made and sticks were laid
Say it again, I pray
 
Lana Del Rey:
What's her name, I said, what's shaking down
With auburn hair, her dress was long
She's not your type, it made me smile
But she's as sunny as the dawn
Get gone
 
Jon Batiste:
Get gone
 
Lana Del Rey:
Get gone
 
Jon Batiste:
Get gone
 
Lana Del Rey:
She rocks a little red car like me, man, she belongs
She wears her hair like mine with a part in the middle and I think it's cute 
But she could be the one to take my place
 
Jon Batiste & Lana Del Rey:
She was my biggest blessing
She was my biggest blessing
 
Lana Del Rey:
I hope it's cold where you reside
You wake up late at night
& I would reckon
That you'd be guessing
I'm, I'm your life lesson
 
Jon Batiste:
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh
 
Jon Batiste & Lana Del Rey:
You were my biggest blessing
You were my biggest blessing
 
Lana Del Rey:
It's like a dream, know what I mean
Things are peachy keen
This very second
& I would reckon
Now you know
It

I am totally with you and I must admit, I often get upset. That's why I just disengage when I see people being entitled or disrespectful.

I wish we could get anera where we get high budget music videos like we did for BTD/Paradise

yep and I think that was also the intention with her covering stand by your man at the recent shows. I think she felt more compelled to speak to her rather than him. I think that's powerful.

God I can’t believe this fandom sometimes. Like there’s personal preference, and then there’s disrespect. I just keep seeing all these posts about people who hate her new work and just keep thinking back to the lyrics (like I said before)
“just another folk song,
but anyway…
i try so hard, but that’s ok
its how the light gets in”
These people will see this woman pour her heart out onto the table for us, and they can only say how they liked her before or they “are sick of all these piano ballads” 
she’s being so personal and open and y’all will just chalk it up to “just another folk song”
 
sorry for the ramble I get heated when it comes to this 😅

go on show specific threads and you'll see...

so recently lana’s been promoting candy necklace a lot? why is that though? i think she’s trying to earn back the money she lost from the production of the mv but honestly i can’t complain i love the 7inch vinyl she launched although it would have been fun if she did it what olivia did and put the demo on the other side stream candy necklace mv though

Wait what I haven’t seen anything about the cover. It’s absolutely beautiful how can you hate it??? 😭

Exactly. It all ties together. Listening to it I instantly thought of the way she’s been preforming “stand by your man” recently. 

yep and I think that was also the intention with her covering stand by your man at the recent shows. I think she felt more compelled to speak to her rather than him. I think that's powerful. 

I was about to say... I am really bummed about that. also it feels a little distant between them at certain points. I'm thinking it might be totally intentionally to fit the themes? Maybe it will grow on me?
I like the song overall, I appreciate the sentiment and I think it totally makes sense for this point in her life. It's also quite diaristic in a sense which makes it fit with her album. Definitely not my fav collaboration but I appreciate it for what it is.
