Crimson and Clover

Really really random but I feel like I started really loving MAC after I saw this video probably a few weeks after it’s release?? This video is just so iconic tbh I love it so much. I got into this whole movie trilogy just because Of this video

Yess I agree and relate with everything you said (especially VB ) . I think this past year I drifted a bit away from it after seeing all the criticism it gets on LB, but listening to the instrumentals I really do see the magic again. It's really helped me appreciate songs I wasn't too fond of (HTD, TNBAR) but made me appreciate the ones I love even more (basically the rest, but special shout out to MAC/VB, FIILY, California, TG, HIAB, HIADT). I think especially now with Lana doing stuff with more producers, NFR is really starting to become a gem for me.

Blonde by Frank Ocean I think it's a good album but I don't enjoy it as much as I do with Channel Orange, Endless, or his standalone stuff For some reason Blonde never clicked with me, which is upsetting because I can recognize the importance it has, especially as a queer poc

oh yeah definitely, I get really heavy Mazzy Star vibes from MAC/VB and some from UV as well

just cried to White Dress and Blue Banisters drunk sitting in my shower I'm a new person rn I still don't understand Wildfire Wildflower but imma try also BB reminds me a bit of Grouper's work!! a bit more pop-ish but still very melancholic

Sirens: Junky Pride AKA: Pawn Shop Blues BTD: Video Games Paradise: Ride UV: Shades of Cool HM: Terrence Loves You LFL: Heroin NFR: Venice Bitch COTCC: White Dress

I mean I spend most of my time as Lana fan on this forum so my view might be skewed but in my experience most ppl don't seem to like NFR I feel like a lot of pages on this very thread debate on whether or not NFR is liked or not I think it's safe to say it's controversial among Lana fans

Disagree because VB is my forever fave

i'm sorry ik ppl hate NFR but california always pust me in my feelings

this and LFL make me nostalgic for some of the best moments of my life

It’s really sad for me to say but I agree that Lana kinda fell off after NFR. I think COCC might be a grower like HM (for me at least) tbh, but...Yeah it feels like I’m starting to unstan. I even liked LMLYLAW but I have not been obsessively listening to these new singles like before Ik people don’t really like NFR but for me it was a new sound for her that I enjoyed, but she’s been getting more and more minimal after it and it’s kinda yikes for me. I think it’s a mixture with her public image that kinda seals the deal for me now. It’s like she doesn’t care anymore. At this point I’m hoping she’ll have her great comeback in like 5 years. ALSO at this point I don’t think it’s jacks fault because she’s working with like 3 new producers and they’re still underwhelming. It has to be Lana at this point

I really didn’t care for the new tracks and Mike Dean’s production really underwhelmed me. I feel like I’m missing something with these tracks but I guess that’s how some people felt when NFR was released. I do like Textbook overall but the BLM line is cringy sorry

Maybe an unpopular opinion but WW is my least favorite so far and I hope she sticks with Gabe Simon, Dawes, and Reid

I honestly want to take a moment and appreciate hiadt because I think without it, we wouldn't really have songs like White Dress, Blue Banisters, and maybe even Textbook. I know people like to joke about Jack's 'piano flops' but it really, really woke up the melancholic singer/songwriter in Lana imo. it's still one of the most depressive songs I know

textbook’s verses remind me a lot of Nancy Sinatra, specifically Bang Bang. Now all we need is a Some Velvet Morning cover !

listened to SOC and VB really high last night lol I hope she'll have more long 'take you on a journey' songs like them on BB <3

i loved NFR especially MAC/VB. COCC was okay to me but I do think the title track and WD are some of the best in her discography. I'm ready for new producers at this point but just looking at Mike Dean's discography with black artists vs white artists there's a clear difference and I just hope Lana makes the right decisions. ik it's easy to blame it all on Jack but some of the decisions on Lana's image/music as of lately seem to be obviously her choice

Intro: cruel world Outro: VB (if you weren’t mind I’d be..jealous of your loveeee)

ugh imagine

kinda rando but I went to the location where that one clip in the Venice MV is located (the one in my sig)! it's in SF and it's called Ocean Beach and it's actually kinda close to my apartment but I haven't gone in a while since it's been foggy/windy. It was a clear day today though so I never really appreciated the area until I saw the video and it's been one of my favorite places in SF ever since (i always listen to VB while watching the sunset!). it looks kinda different today because they've made changes over time but it still has the same charm and is absolutely beautiful during the sunset. the surrounding area is even more beautiful imo this is what it looks like the opposite direction

also rob's "this is one of my faves!" comment (does anyone have that screenshotted omg)

not here for the cowboy aesthetic anymore tbh

she’s so funny

rip trish <3
