    Her song "In the Beginning" just played on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist, and I'm absolutely in love
     
    In this song, at least, she gives me a lot of Marissa Nadler and Mariee Sioux vibes and it's so gorgeous
    I'm glad some of LB has taste

    I do have to say, his new song Pure Comedy is absolutely brilliant. It creatively and cohesively expresses a lot of my thoughts regarding the US election and political state at the moment, as well as the way I view religious fundamentalists. I love the way he describes religion in the song.
     
    "Oh, their religions are the best,
    They worship themselves yet they're totally obsessed
    With risen zombies, celestial virgins, magic tricks,
    These unbelievable outfits,
    And they get terribly upset
    When you question their sacred texts
    Written by women-hating epileptics"
     
    The "risen zombies" seems to be in reference to the people that Jesus raises from the dead in the Bible, like Lazarus, who are ultimately zombies, in a sense, who are then raised back to life, and the "celestial virgin" is obviously a reference to Mother Mary, who somehow conceives the Son of God despite having no intimate relationships, and the "magic tracks" is probably about all of the miracles that Jesus is able to do, like walking on water, turning water into wine, and so on. Although some people might find it to be an offensive mockery of the Christian religion, I actually find it a very interesting way to view the religion, associating it with mystical and magical fairytale imagery. The way that he describes the religion really does make you question how on earth people actually believe these things literally occurred at some point in time. Being raised a Christian myself, I have always wondered how people blindly believed a book written over 2000 years ago by unknown people, who supported slavery, stoned people for adultery, for being gay, supported the patriarchy which prevented women's rights, and so on. I understand that Christianity has progressed from these archaic perspectives, thankfully, but it's still odd that people are willing to defend every single passage, even though many of them were written regarding a time far from our own, which is why I also love the line about questioning their texts. In my view, it's important that we question everything, rather than blindly believing in something that could all just be a made-up fantasy.

    And here I thought Tears on Fire was good. I'm SHOOK, Morning After and On Another Day are so fucking good. 
     
    Is it just me or does she sound so much like Florence at the beginning of DPGALTTM?

    I had no idea this was unpopular, it's my favourite love song of all time, it's the most simple and subtle and complete way to say I love you this song is life

    Also, I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but I love I went to the store one day it always brings me close to tears when he is like "don't let me die in a hospital I'll save the big one for the last time we make love." Like you can just tell he is so in love with his wife

    Front Row Seat to Earth fucks me up everytime I listen to it, so good. I can't wait for her EP with Ariel Pink, if it's as good as Tears on Fire we're in for a treat.

    You guys get so offended when someone criticizes your favorite artists but are quick to shout "kill yourself" and shit on other artists when someone else expresses another musical taste. First of all, all the Ariana / Lana collab thing is an OBVIOUS joke. Second, y'all need to check your priorities if an internet joke in a Lana Del Rey forum gets you so worked up .

    I don't see it being beauty and rage, she would not reuse lyrics except if her new album is called dark blue
