Crimson and Clover

I mainly hear these lyrics, Crowley way of being makes more sense for me on Get Free because she cast that spell on D Trump. I hear Life's Dream more on VB but it would make more sense for it to be livestream tbh. For Swan Song, I hear "Dive in, dive deep in dark blue suede." I think it's more of her visual imagery (like "I dream in jeans and leather"), suede is basically a velvety leather material so it provides dark blue (deep, sad emotion) velvety imagery I guess?

I wouldn't say they're similar but more so inspired/influenced and definitely agree that Lana has not copied them in any way (same thing with how Velvet Underground inspired some aspects of Mazzy Star but their songs aren't really that similar). like I said, I feel like most of the influences are seen in MAC (alt country)/VB (dream pop + neo-psychedelia + slowcore) and additionally in the dream pop/neo-psych aspects of UV, which really remind me of So Tonight and Among My Swan, which I would argue are pretty influential albums from their time. I would argue that Hope's songwriting can be metaphorical and poetic as well (thinking of Unreflected + her solo work), but I guess that's more subjective. then again, I was talking more about influences and not similarity, they're separate artists.

im actually curious to know if Lana has cited Mazzy Star/Hope as an influence to her music before? all I can remember is Hope being like "I don't know who that is" when she was asked about Lana to me the influences feel kinda obvious, especially with MAC/VB. but yesss i always imagined COCC sounding like she hangs brightly after she mentioned it being more country/folky. always hoping that Lana will follow in their footsteps in dream pop and even the occasional shoegaze influence

good afternoon to dark but just a game and to dark but just a game only anyone wanna see lana do some spoken word/ethereal wave songs? we saw her dip her toes into spoken word with Tropico and Violet, but I'd love actual song songs. looks like we're not gonna get it for COCC obviously, but i'm hoping she steps more out of her comfort zone for the next album wouldn't mind it just being an interlude tbh but i love getting lost in songs like this

You are unfixable vs invincible

RIP coverlandia <//3

BYE I remember when I put all her songs on iTunes I literally had a different cover art for every single song for no reason

I think they said LMLYLAW was the MAC of the album and that most of the songs were finished and that she would actually be able to actually release it on September 5th

I’d say Decemberish when I was up all night to study for a final when was the last time you drank a smoothie ?

I remember when I first saw that (tbf I was like 13-14 and dumb) I was like wait is she really that old another rare aesthetic but I remember when I was a teen and still lived in LA, I was a very casual fan of Lana and I lied and told my parents I was going to her concert but was actually going to a rave lol (they would never let me sadlkas). This was the fucking concert I missed out on I still can't fucking believe I didn't go it's probably one of her most iconic ones
