Bambi Lies

I love that I can hear the end of Salvatore <3, the LQ version always fucking cut off.  

I lurk so forgive the awful avatar but I wouldn't necessarily say just because "I lost myself when I lost you" is an extreme line for a break up that it suggests it's not about Barrie. Lana uses extreme imagery quite often "a piece of me died", "but I wish I was dead", so it wouldn't be unusual for her in relation to a traumatic break up. I don't know a whole lot about her personal life or what the tabloids say but it seemed like Barrie was very significant to her and her allusions to his depressive state and how much she seemed to lose herself in it could definitely apply to this song (I've always thought Black Beauty was about him and how she was slowly losing parts of herself "dying her hair black" etc to fit in with his world). I also got the sense that the relationship didn't end because of a lack of love but just an inability to be together healthily. Who knows, I guess it's subjective and could be a combination of the two - inspired by Bowie but also relating to Barrie (but she's not Taylor Swift so there will be no "hidden" messages in the lyrics spelling out BARRIE). Then again I don't really like the Bowie back story because it seems a little insensitive and too close to home for personal reasons.
 
I've been wanting to post for days considering I live in Kingston, Surrey and five minutes away from that damn record store! The one day I don't visit the board someone posts about her London signing and I miss getting tickets! This has been an emotional few weeks with added scat porn to make things interesting.
 
ETA: I just wanted to add that the reference to Hollywood legends could be related to what she said in an interview. I can't remember verbatim but I think it went something like she and Barrie connect by talking about Hollywood legends/famous musicians as if they were friends, or familiar or something (Im just babbling at this point).

hmm. idk. i think TLY is absolutely about barrie or inspired by him. even based on your second sentence: haven't we gathered that barrie was severely depressed? also it makes sense..."i still get trashed, baby, when i hear your tunes," since barrie was a songwriter. 
 
speaking of TLY, god, i love it. it took awhile to click with me but now the bridge always makes me tear up--trying to desperately (yet covertly...cosmically, even!) connect to someone who you can't outright contact anymore because you've broken up. (trying to transmit, can you hear me?) it's heartbreaking. 

This. It's so beautiful.

Ground control to Major Tom,
people who dislike TLY are wrong.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Me if I ever hear Religion live 

update i caved and listened and salvatore sl*ys me

Friend made it.

LB right now
 

preach
 

lalalalalaaaaaaaaaa lalalalalaaaaaaaaa lanaboardseeeeeeeeeehhhhh
lalalalalaaaaaaaaaa lalalalalaaaaaaaaa miseryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
lalalalalaaaaaaaaaa lalalalalaaaaaaaaa leak the whole thinggggggggg
ladadadadaaaaaaaa ladadadadaaaaaaa soft ice cream

THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN THE COVER
 

I know that vinyl isn't the best, but I'd rather have that than people talking about fucking fedoras and alarms going off in the background

People trying to get a copy from target be like:

Lana looks so adorable in the cover art. Like in AKA, she looks like a disinterested stripper, BTD, a snob ass bitch, Paradise, a perfect asf but still snobby bitch, UV just depressed, but in HM she's like "I'm Lana(:I'm on a car haha watching the boys hahaha bangs hahaha no bra"

ya'll are pressed about the singles.. but i would have been disappointed if the rest of the record fell short compared to singles.... like to wait for a record to come out just to find out that its all not /as/ good as the singles... would be sad. 
 
i think she chose some strong songs, that really gave us a good idea of how the record is gonna sound, without giving it all away!

I gave in and listened to Salvatore and holy crap that song is everything

Salvatore honestly makes me want to go to Italy so bad that soft ice cream imagery >>>

Lyrically it's her weakest, but it's just so beautiful and pleasing to listen to 

 

Can all the people who said HM would suck and would be the end of career please stand up? Thanks.

i was worried when this era kicked off because HM was dull, HBTB was decent and TLY was fairly good...girl was just playing with us and hid all the best tracks

The weakest point of the album are the lyrics but Honeymoon might be her most diverse piece of work since AKA. I adore it
