"Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" Spoken Word Poetry Album - Pre-Release Thread

[ChicaCherryCola 1,393]

I don't really care if her poetry will be labeled as weak, shallow, dubious, or whichever adjetives we will come up with this time. With THAT voice and that piano, she could be reading a poem about a lonely deformed potato that never made it into a beautiful salad - that would still be her magnum opus, and if it was up to me, she would be awarded with the Nobel Prize in Literature 2020.

Girl this is what we want and need right now, just release it!!

[American Whore 47,864]

THERE WILL BE MUSIC WITH IT HOLY BALLSACK FUCK SHIT TITS PISS PUSSY

 

 

ok sorry

[BoardingSchool 2,690]

Just in time for Easter...She is risen!   Who thinks Grenadine Quarantine and I Want a BF will be spoken word tracks?

 

I'm way more excited about it as an audiobook...her voice is what I love; just reading the words would not be the same. And with music by Jack... Burnt Norton 2.0 incoming!!!

For sure the potato thing will be on the same level as most of her metaphors, but have to agree that her voice, her emotion and the music will made that irrelevant. Truly want to listen to it!

my god that clip is amazing

her voice is always so sensual

 

this is going to be her milestone 

[Divisive Princess 3,537]

I'm so excited. For some reason, the video she posted brought me to tears. It makes all the difference hearing her read it.

[godsmonster 13,797]

oh wow i forgot about this

[BoardingSchool 2,690]

Get that spoken word Grammy, queen!

 

So happy for us, and for her. She had dreams of being a beautiful poet. And livin' like Jim Morrison (who also wrote poetry).

I LOVE THE "HAPPY" AUDIO.
It's such a great thing that JA made music on it.

What an excellent surprise

[pin up galore 18,004]

  I dont think were ready for what's coming 

[Thunder Revenant 20,712]

Yawn. Put it out already. The poetry is lackluster and we waited for this thing longer than the album.

WTF. What rock have I been under I have never seen this????? context please     

[maxthehitman 1,727]

 

 

AAAHAHA       I like her sence of humour.

 

I always thought this would be a simple "poetry book" and thought why is it taking soooo long ?

 

But NOW , after reading the previous posted comments + news, I understand the long wait.

She is making music WITH the poetry she will be reading. This ought to be a very cool record.

This adds another dimension to the whole project.   I love it.

 

I also have in my music collection a few CDs with poetry readings with music.

Some CDs I bought many years ago, like Jack Kerouak, I had to drive almost 120 miles to buy them. Are they worth it? You betcha !!

It will be a pleasure to buy this Lana Del Rey poetry+music record and add it to my living room shelf - The Fine Poetry section, of course

[Ebola 2,188]

the artwork is so pretty.. it reminds me of a children's picture book but i don't remember which one
