Some of y’all are doing too much. Ole girl probably will drop the song when the stars tell her to, whether that’s tomorrow or next month

Every time I try to assign some logical coherency to her releases, I remember that this is Lana and she excels and unpredictability—keeps us on our toes lol

tbh that's part of why i love her... sometimes it gets out of hand... but we'll never stop theorizing as much as we want while knowing that we'll be wrong 99% of the time

yosemite recorded in 2016 before her obsession with printer paper taped to microphrone trend so we're in the clear

she may have done another vocal take tho you never know

Watching the White Dress teaser more closely and maybe everyone else noticed it too, but I think in this screenshot below, we can see a trailer park in the background! She’s really going all the way there with the references to her life in 2007/2008  truly a full-circle moment, wow

you can also see a "chemtrail" in the sky when she (is it weird to say "she" when its not lana?) is rollerskating!

Yes, I also noticed that too!  I really think it’s clear now that the “chemtrails” represent the turmoil she’s talked about in interviews (to Annie Mac she said she doesn’t find it hard to be good in the midst of all the bad) and in the IG caption when she put up the album cover (“there’s always turmoil and upheaval and in the midst of it - there’s always beautiful music”). It’s so cool to see how she’s going to address these anxieties that loom over and linger throughout our lives and the work we put into it to push through. I’m seriously so excited!

Yes this.

No one should ever be disappointed or mislead. We should all know better by now.

Love this. Chemtrails as the physical manifestation of the hidden turmoils of our lives, that can rain invisibly down on even the most cherished family moment. Magnum. Opus.

[BluebirdXO 7,679]

I wasn't excited, but since she released the preview I'm on fire. I can't not even breath properly from excitement

So well-said, my friend! I really love what this record’s narrative is shaping up to be so far. I always felt like Lana was really spot-on when it came to making social commentary through her music (even if it appeared to be solely autobiographical in some of her earlier records, but I believe that she’s always woven some sort of grander message into her experiences). While we can conclude this by reading between the lines and not so much what she’s word-for-word saying, I love how she seems to be exploring womanhood, the legacy of familial bonds - regardless of how they are - and staying strong in the midst of tension by centering yourself into the things that are important to you. I think we’ll see the latter bit on Dance Till We Die in particular!

The way you’re absolutely right 

 

it feels like a more powerful expression of the mindset she had during 2016/2017 (when the world was at war before, we just kept dancing) and she really progressed on that in The Greatest, focusing in on the turmoil, and now we have a whole album full of it. 
 

She used a word, I can’t remember what it was, and said that she’s always seen the crashing of the world. She said she’s hyper aware of what’s happening 

I’m so excited!!

Yes, I 100% agree! I think she referred to herself as a fatalist who’s always seen something like this happening, and I’m excited to see her explore that in a very blunt but also bright-sided way. Like, “this is the state of the world and it’s insane but we’re making it all work” - I think that’s a really inspiring sentiment and Chemtrails will be like Norman in the way that it’s summative of our world at the time while not being a record “of the day” or dated - a broad cultural statement that is still so true to who Lana is!

[Veinsineon 78,444]

wow. I can’t believe she’s just fully using Lizzy as a puzzle piece this era. I’m so in love with where this record may end up going. 

[Chiunzhan 1,480]

It will be "Ride" 2.0, so here for it!!

YES. Ugh welcome back. I completely agree in its respect by way of something I learned while studying German expressionism/post war film in college (remedial but I adored it, it was focused here with Margarethe Von Trotta) it's that the personal is political, and Lana excels at this. Her specificity and honor to the story she's telling exposes universal truths that all walks of life can and have experienced. We....we're really winning here aren't we?

[NikoGo 62,774]

She’s said before she thinks White Dress is “really really good” for Anne Mac, I wonder why she changed her mind and suddenly felt it was rough to listen to for Mojo..
