I've found some HM promo completely by chance while going to find her a florist to give her blue hydrangeas for tomorrow!!!! It's a giant screen so I couldn't take good photos but I'm so motherfucking hyped I can't even swallow I'm DYING of stress!!! I'm so glad she's doing promo!! 
 


Btw I went to Rough Trade again to see if they're starting to prepare things up but nah. I looked on the events poster and Lana is NOT listed. So I'm thinking it's a last minute move from her just out of promo and love for the fans. Fml. I adore her.

Apparently, the show Later... With Jools Holland will have a new series soon. And apparently, there is a small chance she could be on this week or next, because it's BBC and they normally link people from Radio 1 to Jools. So maybe it's not necessarily to get really hyped but that would be so cool, especially since last time it didn't ended up that well cause she was still at the beginning, and now that her incredible reclaimed album is almost out, and that she's been extremely sneaky these past days, there's a lot of stuff that makes it not totally impossible.

I hope no filters too but it's Lana let's be real it will prolly have one, can't wait to be proved wrong though

Is there any way to block the words "china" and "palace" when put together so they can be considered as spam and not posted smh. I will only believe what they post when Lana herself shows up at my door to confirm it 

Lol you posted one second before me. Great minds think alike

I've listened to Salvatore compulsively on a loop for the past 3h I can't get over it it feels like an umbilical cord bonds me to it. I'm so fucking happy because I had a feeling it would be my fav and it is. I can't describe the vibe of it I don't know if it's happy or sad or nostalgic or melancholic, the rhythm lulls me and there is a universe of references that rush in my head when the chorus starts, my favourite part is when she first say limousines in the first chorus. It feels like meeting an old friend again, as if this song was always meant to be created. The energy of it is extremely peculiar, it's dark it's sarcastic it's empowering as hell, it's poetic, it's everything I ever longed for, it's extremely beautiful, it's an immense masterpiece
 
Edit: I can't stop talking about it, I want to add that the production is absolutely flawless and that it depicts exactly the kind of vibe I would love to have at the very end of my wedding party, when'll I'll be alone with my SO in my wedding dress, at 5am, alone in the world in the dark, slowly dancing while this song explodes in the background, it makes me so happy

Can Lana stop doing nothing for months and then dropping a billion things in 20mins because my heart cannot take it fml

Hi everyone, as I presented myself in the Welcome section, I'm a fine arts student. As part of one of my second year units on fans and amateurs experts, I had to write an essay on fandoms. Being a Lana stan and being fascinated by religion, I decided to do it on how the Lana Del Rey fandom can bring criticism on the relationship between fandom and religion. I immensely enjoyed writing it and I really want to explore it much further. It's called "Kissing God - Lana Del Rey is my religion".    Please keep in mind that: _ I only got B+ for it because I only cite pop culture sources _ I was immensely depressed and suicidal during the whole time I wrote it _ English is not my first language and I'm not a particularly good writer _ I was still a pretty basic Lana stan when I started to write it.   I hope you'll like it Feedback would be much appreciated!   PS this is what my tutor said about it, it adds some insight.  
  The essay:    

If she could say it out loud, j'en pisserais dans mes shorts.

No it's a radio! Damn I was so hyped lmao sorry

This is one of the best outfits Lana ever wore this video is going to be iconic and perhaps her best one, big production is back and I'm both ready and not fucking ready also she looks extremely hot and I'm desperately gay bye

Omg!!! I just came back from picking up your drawing, it arrived in perfect state, I'm so extremely excited!!!!!

I'm coming back from running under London's absolutely pouring rain and I blasted Religion on and I no longer fear nor doubt the existence of God I mean the experience of this song's lyrics and melody and rhythm and all the nature going crazy was more revealing than any mass I ever attended

I actually think she's MUCH more happy now... Idk. She's in stable relationship, she did the album she wanted exactly, and the fact that she does promo even though it's messy af and especially the fact that PRECISELY she's not as BLATANTLY vocal about how she loves the record feels like she isn't forcing herself, she's sure of what she's doing and she knows it's her best piece of work yet. Visually, to me nothing beats the rock chick with smoky eyeshadow from UV, even the iconic white T haunts my dreams. Uv era visuals are forever goals. I find HM more vintage, but in a very different, more mature, less badass but more assured way.

I'm really blown away by how sultry this album is and uh, being French, the line "dying by the hand of a foreign man happily" reminds me of the expression "la petite mort" which means "the small death" and stands for "orgasm". So, maybe far-fetch and I'm sorry to have to be the one bringing this up haha but this is how I feel now with this in mind: it's the story of a girl that craves for a man because she can't have it, for his fame, for his exoticism, then when she finally have it in the bridge, she simply passes to other priorities, she's playing with him. I love this so much because for once she's not the one being played, she's in control and having the fun of her life.
 
I really think it's my favourite of the record wow

I couldn't respectfully disagree more. I think the lyrics of HM are so much more powerful and empowering than BTD's one. I think it's also because I grew up, and I now much more relate to the mature lyrics of HM than the cheesy-in-a-good-way lyrics of BTD. It's not the same themes at all either, and it's really an unpopular opinion but I'm truly delighted by Lana's writing on this album. BTD has some gems of writing, VG BJ OTTR, but this album's writing quality is much more cohesive imho, as a whole, which is peculiar to this particular album. I most definitely understand your view on BTD though, even though I personally don't share it as I prefer Honeymoon Glad this is the direction this thread is going, thank you!
