Crimson and Clover

i've been looking at some alt-country/americana stuff trying to see how the folkish part of COCC might sound like, found THIS and honestly I'd love a more downtempo song like this omg why can i see 'not all who wander are not lost' having this heat

honestly yeah, it saddens me

really wondering if any of the songs on COCC will sound like this omg

let’s not act like COCC pre-release thread isn’t really the NFR post-release slander circlejerk thread

this sounds like YTH in simlish

this will probably be completely off lmfao TR: emotional Sucker: blame it on your love XCX: enemy N1A: caught in the middle Pop2: Take My Hand Charli: I Wanna Be With U HIFN: unlock it

honestly i'd rather lana travel than hold book signings and such it seems like so many celebrities are travelling w/o repercussions but that's the privilege that comes with the status i suppose

i lowkey have always wanted to visit alaska because it seems so nice/cool compared to the rest of the US (though i've literally never seen snow fall before so I feel like I should go somewhere more gentle before I go to the last frontier ). I wonder if she's there for the northern lights?? definitely wanna visit after COVID

not that old but

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

Or Kanye

stans were extra toxic back in 2012

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

Oh Say Can You See vs. Freak Like Me
