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

[PARADIXO 33,127]

"taking a lot longer to hand-bind than i thought" 

 

as if she's all day rehearsing new songs for the tour

[KingJay 3,018]

This is dope

[evilentity 13,351]

Ok...

 

But she is lying about binding

 

As someone who released a book of poetry on my own... I can say this is not true

 

But who knows with what she wanted to bind a book

With flowers?!

  

Can you explain why is it not possible for her to bind the book?

  

@Creyk

 

I am just saying that her saying it takes time is a lie

Binding is done in a day for normal books or less

Can we get @@PANG on the case?

 

(Props on your attention to detail to everyone who gets this joke.)

Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album 2021 here we go

[Terrence Loves Me 72,900]

You know what i might do, i would kinda class her poetry as part of the NFR era so once the spoken word album is released i think it would be a good idea to add some of the poems as interludes in between the appropriet songs on NFR. Imagine it suddenly going from a 14 track album to a 20 - 25 track masterpiece with poems and instrumentals, wow

[Barry 5,977]

It should be good, if she is releasing poetry i'd have liked her to have hand written the poetry and released audio of her reading it since it seems more personal.

 

Also how many people are going to make those "people say you can't dance to Lana Del Rey" memes about this poetry lol

I just listened to Burnt Norton for the first time in years and it slaps? Her best album is coming!

[urgirl 5,748]

as much as I want to think this will be like Burnt Norton, because yes its the bestest, there is a BIG difference between T S ELIOT'S poems and lana's poems

i don't have anything to add, just felt like this bore repeating for those in the back

I wasn't really paying attention to T OILET'S words though I just like her speaking voice

Love casinos, Indian reservations reparations

 

You win the internet. We can all go home now.   

[Zetterberg 1,879]

the first track poem leaked

[BoardingSchool 2,922]

If it sounds like the Ride Monologue...I will straight die from joy.   That's free form poetry.    

[Jared 3,132]

This will go viral as soon as it drops. It better be good!

[Trash Magic 28,479]

This is so fucking cool. Who else is doing this? We have really watched her do a complete 360 and return to her folky roots and original inspirations over the past 8 years.

I’ve been thinking now that this might actually be a spontaneous decision for Lana. Seeing as she’s releasing it on the 10th anniversary of her debut album (also a Saturday), it’s clear she did this intentionally and she probably knew we’d all catch on too. I’m also thinking she might possibly only sell it for as long as her first album was available too, probably as just a fun (but unnecessary) parallel. It’s crazy to see though how far she’s come in a decade. It really feels like she’s celebrating her first 10 years, and how far she’s come and how much she’s grown by releasing this poetry album. She finally gets to be a poet.

[GeminiLanaFan 49,439]

I hope it's the Violet Bent Backwards poems that will be in spoken form. 
But since she called it a bit «rough» and unpolished, I don't expect the whole thing to sound like Burnt Norton or the Ride monologue. Maybe a couple will have some musical background, but not the whole bunch... 

[WilshireBoulevard 5,421]

I hope it sounds like the between-song intervals of tropico       

 

 

 

don't crucify me this is a joke

y'all actually expecting effort is cute tho

  : p

 

 

[BoardingSchool 2,922]

She had dreams of being a beautiful poet... and now they are coming true. The poetry inside of her is warm like a gun.

[Terrence Loves Me 72,900]

I wonder when she'll drop the cover or the tracklist
