I doubt she cleared that homemade TRPWS album announcement or Rock Candy Sweet announcement or Chemtrails announcement embedded in QFTC with her label. She can post whatever she wants whenever she wants…unfortunately for us. If it actually comes to fruition is another thing entirely. 

Well LA is in flames again…. I’m hoping for another iconic cover. But now I really don’t think she’ll announce anything this month with the fires that are going on and the presidential inauguration on the 20th. 

we need an album trailer

to me at least it feels like something is coming soon because album cycles ramping up always seems to coincide with like... large sweeping collective emotional shifts that everyone seems to be on the same page about. all the people close to me are really suddenly just absolutely going through it and everywhere you look it feels like things have taken a very abrupt and dark turn! hate it actually!!!!! 
 
a cry for help and a vibes-based analysis in the absence of actual news 

NFR and BTD are her best covers. They're memorable, eye-catchy, and match the music perfectly.
 
Hoping for another vibrant, memorable moment. (No monochrome again please). 

me too! i never got the nfr album cover hate, i love the aesthetic and everything

Our part of LA (Lana and I go to the same Ralphs lol) is under watch but we have yet to receive an actual warning or suggestion to evacuate, so if it brings you any peace to know that this area should be alright. Regardless, it is so unsettling and sad to watch all of this and be so close to it. I don't think we were going to get any news about the album this week to begin with, but I agree that it definitely won't be happening now. 

Her body is a map of L.A… she’s in flames… it’s getting hot 💔

in my opinion, everything 
how would she release an album or announce a single in the middle of all this suffering? especially in a place that she obviously cares about and where her friends and family live?

yeah 
 
but this wait might actually be more excruciating than NFR. It’s about to almost be a whole year since Lana announced Lasso and posted that Henry snippet and yet we’re still contemplating if this album will be released by May… what do we think TRPWS pre release or NFR pre release in terms of agonizing waits?

Nah fr a month and week without any news of Lana 

This time he’s using 4 piano chords instead of 3

yes, they are. her beliefs reflect who she chooses to align herself with; what she chooses not to say. white women are defined by historically choosing the comfort of their privilege and the status quo over disarming the oppressor. Using the facade of feminine grace and quietness to preserve power and capital.
 
“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizens Councillor or the Ku Klux Klanner but the white moderate who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says, “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time; and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.”
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

she's been wanting to leave california for a while now if u go by what her music alludes.

nfr opened up a kind of vulnerability to start if u listened in between the lines. lmlylaw's written plain as day. 
to getting married and living by lousiana(?), fishtails from ob. 

thematically, at least from her music perspective. this can still pretty much coincide w a potential heavier feeling of a southern gothic, but at the same time, be a completely separate stance. 

precautions and considerations to be thought of and acted upon, we might see an added thought/song like how Coachella was added during the LFL era. 
though, and communities aside, I also wouldn't be surprised if she didn't mention this at all. 

sometimes i forget how good pale moonlight is then i fall back in love with it after a month 
it kills me it didnt get some form of release because a visual for it would go so hard

i know this won't happen but i would kill for some songs with the atmosphere of bel air... i want something ethereal and cinematic 

Lana do something this thread is becoming a cry for help 😭

But Lana was also dating him when she was still friends with Courtney right?

I wish she had gotten Patti Smith to officiate. And then done an interlude with her on Lasso. 

rob looks sharp AF 

Nothing brings me more joy than the idea of Lana being on Ellen…Ellen would have tortured that young emo girl

But this isn’t necessarily true… I can think of a couple instances where she did exactly that. I’m sure there is other examples, if I wanted to dive into it.

Sweet sixteen and we had arrived 
Walk-in down the street as they whistle Hi Hi
 
All I want to do is get high by the beach 
Get high Baby Baby Bye Bye
 
You would never speak these lines like this, she is doing it to keep a rhythm or rhyme or whatever.

I didn't get those
Witch Hazel Witch Hazel
Beytrayal betrayal verses...
 
Thanks heaps for the interpretations. Witch Hazel = heroine... it makes sense.
 
This seems to be about Barrie, yes.
 
The Man to man... verse reminds me of that french interview in which Lana said she was "a man amongst men". I wonder if she uses those masculine terms referring to herself due to reading almost exclusively male writers?

Saw this painting and it's extremely Is This Happiness type beat...
