We have two soons..

One from Ben and one from the queen herself. ..

 

Its definitely not dropping after Violet. That wouldn't qualify as soon. She wouldve said Next month..instead of soon. I think we are set for a very exciting 2 weeks.

Why is it not clicking that the album is delayed?  Soon can certainly mean 2-3 months.

I agree that her approach has changed a bit and become more serious, but I still think the satire is there, and I also think it's all a part of the bigger story she is telling. She is evolving and maturing after all as a person.

 

In terms of the character and story she's creating, I feel as though Lust for Life was her way of trying to move past the gloominess of her life and find happiness, which she does to a certain degree but it's also somewhat superficial because the search for happiness can't be forced, it's a lifelong journey.

 

NFR seems to take a step back and examine her life as a part of the bigger picture, and also looks at the world at large. For me, The Greatest is like the climax of the story she's been telling this whole time, and "the culture is lit, and if this is it, I had a ball" is highly satirical. She's watching the world burn and recognizing that while it's been a fun ride, none of it is real because today's culture lives in a self-absorbed bubble where we turn a blind eye to all the destruction around us. Right afterwards, in Bartender, she acknowledges her role as a simple rich lady having tea parties and garden meditations, and while she enjoys it, she knows it's not enough because she still escapes in the middle of the night to find something more. Then we have Happiness is a Butterfly, which I think is a song where she regresses the most lyrically and once again explores the simple themes of a toxic relationship that keeps hurting her, because history always repeats itself and it's hard to break free from these patterns in life. Which brings us to Hope, her most lyrically profound song in my opinion where she goes deeper than ever before and recognizes how damaged she is, but she still has hope that she can change.

 

In Violet she finally lets us inside, not just to see what she wants us to see, but to see it all and explore her innermost thoughts. In Paradise is Very Fragile it all sinks in and she finally sees the problems with her glamorous lifestyle, because if the inhabitants of paradise take too much there will be nothing left for the rest of us, and she recognizes her role in that. Bare Feet on Lineoleum is the final thing she's left us on before Chemtrails, and it has her facing a crossroads. Does she finally abandon the superficial world she's built up around her and keep searching for something real, or does she lean further into complacency and chop vegetables into stew for the rest of her life. Given the horrifying music that accompanies that ending, I assume that she's going to "wake up" in Chemtrails and break open her world to continue her search for happiness in a new direction.

 

Sorry for the rambling novel LOL it's just fun to think about and explore the story she's telling. I think ultimately Lana will always be telling a story about the lifelong journey towards peace and happiness, and while she may never get there fully, it's a beautiful thing to experience as it's a journey most people in the world can relate to in some way or another.

 

 

In a lot of ways I read her like I would a Douglas Sirk film. Specifically imitation of life.

No. ?

Soon means something possibly within weeks. 

She told us that NFR will be out in 2 Months during a show in June 2019. And so it did.

 

Same way she mentioned it's coming out on Sep 5. There is no way she couldve said that date without it being finalized. 

Why is it not clicking for you ?.

UMG confirmed the Sep 5 date as well.

 

And Ben wont say SOOOON if it means 2-3months.

saying "its not coming whats not clicking????" is

[IanadeIrey 61,300]

Ok, back on Team Delusional for a second. She totally could’ve said that the album isn’t coming this week in that video but she didn’t, she just said “soon” - and the term “soon” denotes a shorter waiting period that is most conveniently relative to the 4th/5th. She explicitly announced that Violet wouldn’t be out on Jan 4th but just said “soon” this time around. 
 

But, LMLYLAW and the music video for the title track aren’t out yet, and she basically said those would be out before the album so my bets are on October 23rd or October 30th for the release now. But I would LOVE to be surprised on the 4th/5th.

i can't believe tulsa jesus freak is actually about neil!  

[Fart Deco 12,643]

I don't know, with her last ig video she made me lose hope on a 4th/5th release but I'll be pleasantly surprised if COCC will actually drop this weekend!

[IanadeIrey 61,300]

Tulsa Jesus Freak - Arkansas/Kansas 

Wizard of Oz - Dorothy is from Kansas 

Neil Krug - is from Kansas 

 

Wizard of Oz theme confirmed! 
Edit: Lana was in Kansas for the midwestern tour and loved it, inspiration must’ve struck there?

also Qobuz confirmed that UMG themselves gave them the date 5/09, theres just a possibility to change since a lot of records were delayed because of corona.

[DeluluKing 7,268]

Well... We'll be much happier if we'll just get the album this week.  For me October is too late and I won't be that hyped. I'll have other thinks in my mind than an album that should be out one or even two months ago  She should drop it when the hype is the strongest. What will make delaying the album a better option when it will just dissapoint half of the ppl waiting for this.

 

Drop it digitally when there is an actual hype and hold it with MV shit and physical releases later.

at least #teamdelusional has a vision for the future, ya'll r just buoying TBH
