Has anyone ever considered that perhaps she attends AA meetings or NA meetings at the church? That yellow tab on her key chain in the recent pic is deff an NA/AA coin. It usually says a time like “10 years” or 1day” or “6 years” etc

Loving them cold, stale January teas....

I'm kinda focused on being a baddie right now. I can't really work.

its like, it's cute Lana wants a version of America without the guns, where the flag can freely fly ...... but can she at least pretend to be interested in the history that got America to the place it is now?  like , maybe without centuries of slavery, genocide, imperialism, and a monopoly on violence and militaristic power within and without US borders, the flag wouldn't seem so tainted.  maybe if the US wasnt a huge weapons manufacturer / exporter , maybe if America govt and culture wasn't so tolerant of white supremacy and far right terrorist ideology, maybe if people actually educated themselves ab issues before writing songs about them, we could all just hold hands and sing kumbaya.  but here we are, with a completely fucked up, yet traceable and accessible, history of violence against certain groups (aka everyone but rich straight christian white folk) , and people like Lana are like "huh, i wonder why everythings so fucked up"

Why are you complaining about a spontaneous, well intended, pretty song from one of your favourite artists?

 

It's very self-righteous of you to assume she is unaware of American history, or that she has no interest. No song is going to solve world peace, but artistic statements like this can connect with and speak to people who spiritually share the same idea and will take comfort that others are speaking out. 

 

I guess next time Lana is inspired by something you would rather a tweet and a manifesto, rather than release a song.

Well, her team did really well keeping HM and LFL from leaking before the NZ release.

I seem to remember Honeymoon leaking too? I feel like I had a zip copy of it like a week before the album actually came out.

Yeah, pretty much all of her shit has leaked before the release dates. I don't expect that NFR will be any different, regardless of whether or not this Taylor Secman bitch is the one who leaks it.

Honestly I think a song would be better than a manifesto from Lana - but if it rings as vapid as her lyricism or poetry, i don't think the world needs it fr. Like Lana's profiting off of people's misplaced emotions around society crumbling and it all just seems so shallow

 

"We used to only worry about the children at night " -- who's kids? Just the rich white debutantes in pink dresses? Not homeless gay kids on the street, not immigrant children ripped from parents and kept in state custody under armed guard (oh my, guns!), not child laborers abroad sewing shitty merch!

Does Lana "believe in the country America used to be" as in like MAGA or before white Invaders committed genocide against the indigenous people there? (With guns!!)

If only we could all jus sit straight christian white rich and pretty in our Norman fucking Rockwell painting lives and fly the American flag at the 4th of July barbeque and watch fireworks and ignore the bloodshed (from guns!) that vacated the land so the concrete patio could get poured.

Lana can playfully run from cops in Venice Bitch video with no worry, it's just fun with the neighborhood kids! Just be privileged enough and you don't have to worry ab the cops shooting you (with guns!)

Let's just fly the flag and shoot fireworks and ignore all this, and ignore anything that might actually help America confront its culture of violence. It's just a dream I had in mind!

 

If Lana wants to make a statement so blatantly vapid and ignorant, honestly she should keep it to herself. She's not helping anyone do anything but center her own first world issues and ignore reality.

Lana grew up rich and even now as a celeb, she lives in a gate-kept society. Not to shit on her, but jumping to capitalize on mass shootings by releasing a Woke Song is such poor taste.

Sitting in her ivory tower like 'oh these poor poor kids :'(c. Here's a cute song.' Unless she's donating those proceeds, it just shows how greedy celebs are.

I think she was being genuine when she wrote the song and probably did it as an immediate reaction to the news, rather than a cynical attempt at woke points. But, as has been pointed out, she seems to have a very shallow understanding of sociopolitical issues, including within the context of mass shootings. So while I appreciate it as a beautiful and heartfelt expression of grief and reflection, I have a hard time taking it seriously as any kind of political statement.
