Also, what she says about Norman... 100% agreed.

She knew people (critics) would love it because there's nothing too wild on it, too out of the box.

that’s all that came through so unless this reads weird that should be it. i can’t read the article to check cause i’m at work

I feel like there is something written prior to page 70 because of how the article starts on that page. Going by the page numbers, we have pages 66 & 67 (opening double page spread) then pages 68 & 69 are missing ?‍♂️

 

Still tho, thank you @electra for uploading these ?

Not Joan calling Lana a narcissist  She prob wasn't happy bout that

Nah, but it's true. 

It's her only album that doesn't have anything challenging/wild. It has that singer/songwriter feel, and I love Norman, but it was clear most of the critics would eat that shit up. Nothing wrong about that tho

[Thunder Revenant]

Ok, so

•  In "Dance Til We Die" she sings "I've been covering Joni and dancing with Joan"
• "Not All Who Wanders Are Lost" has a high thrill and reminds Lana of "Cinderella in the movie, where she's holding the blue bird"
• "Wild At Heart" has a similar theme about being untameable as the title track has
• "Breaking Up Slowly" is about the relationship of  Tammy Wynette and George Jones and the "Breaking up slowly is a hard thing to do"-line was made up during a conversation Nikki and Lana had in a hotel room.
• Nikki and Lana wrote 4 more songs together
• She talks about a cover album full of country songs (she namedrops Bobby Gentry, Hank Williams, Patsy Cline and Wynette, although it's not said whether she actually covered them) and one with folk songs
• "Dark But Just A Game" is sonically compared to Portishead and Ricky Nelson's"Garden Party". Lyrically, it is supposed to be similar to Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl".
  Apart from that, it seems to be inspired by an disillusioning incident at a party she attended with Jack, hosted by Madonna and U2's manager Guy Oseray, where she contemplated about how it's best not to meet your idols and how musicians change in strange ways. The title originates from a conversation between her and Jack.
  Jack also describes this song as "so LDR", being about "fly down the rabbit hole and smile in the same breath"
• On "White Dress" she sings in a rapt, innocent whisper
  The song is about being 19, working as a waitress, listening to the White Stripes and Kings Of Leon. Lana describes it as being close to unedited journaling, not being "too afraid about being kind of stupid".
  She also says that she's not sounding great during the chorus - it's described as sounding awestruck, trembling, "the voice of someone on the bring of something" and very fitting to the thematic of the song
  We also get some lyrics: "Look how I do this, look how I've got this"
  Also, there is a reference to "grass always being greener", which is something Eclipse has referred to within his hints

[wild caged animal]

all this talk about narcissism as the biggest problem in america... only for Joan Baez to call Lana a gorgeous narcissist

OMG sjhdaskjhd;klsjdlk I right away thought of you when Lana said that thing about "anything that's terrible is hilarious with Jack" 

Ladies,this interview  truly amazing in my opinion! Makes me even more hyped for the album! and WHITE DRESS!!!!!  We really are getting vulnerable Lizzy vocals.

[whitelungswhitepalms]

Wow her talking about white dress, fuck it sounds like it’s going to be such a great song

 

and dark but just a games story is also really interesting, and ugh seeing them talk about Yosemite ahhhhh

Keep in mind that the fact she recorded an album does not mean she will release it. Think about the side-project she had with TLSP which - apart form California - never saw the light of day

i mean she did say herself that she was gonna release it so i'm assuming it's gonna come out eventually (judging by how she's still mentioning it)

[domandapiano]

Honestly a pretty great article! And so glad it mentions her recent controversies without her adding another one to them. Lol

This makes me think White Dress will be yet another Hope is a dangerous thing - God, please no.
