3 NEW LANA SONGS!

who the fuck is lana

[Vanilla Icy 29,591]

i see people complaining about the mixing but i looove the rough sound of the production it fits with the hard hitting topics of the lyrics

[Carmen Del Rey 2,073]

no offense or anything but ig these songs will have to grow on me. I've only listened to each once but they didn't really do anything for me....

 

I wonder if Rock Candy Sweet will still be a single... I hope so

[King of Saigon 1,384]

Notice how Lana called out all of Lana boards when she sang “cause I know you wanna talk about it” on wildflower wildfire ?

But in all seriousness she is incredibly strong for sharing deep looks into her life. 
 

Textbook and Wildflower are a look into her past while Blue banisters is about her life now. 
this lyric is especially heartbreaking: ?

literally haven’t stopped  sobbing  

[SuperMegaStan 9,642]

for those who wants the youtube links:

Text Book: 

 

Wildflower Wildfire

Blue Banisters

 

[Bella Hadid 134]

Text Book is such a mess sonically I'm kind of screaming? I have no idea if I love it or hate it

[Deadly Nightshade 12,032]

I can't articulate my thoughts properly right now . The songs are lyrically so intricate and she is literally pouring her heart out . I need to listen to them more carefully but instantly the parts of her talking about her mother and her father made me cry. It's really rare for artists to talk in such honesty about their traumatic moments. My favorites for now are WW and TB .  BB made me really happy knowing  that she has friends and family  that support her in difficult times .. It's definitely a work of art that needs to be listened to in a specific mood. It evokes similar feelings of sadness to me like UV did tbh..

absolutely cannot believe i'm about to defend these god awful single artworks / covers BUT.... little theory incoming ....

 

does anyone else feel like maybe the artworks intentionally progress in rawness and 'ugliness' according to how revealing the songs they belong to are? for example, Blue Banisters is def a personal song but it's fairly "happy" with a sweet message. i remember when we all speculated whether or not the bruised look on her chest was intentional, i for one just thought it was a symptom of the filter she was using - but now, with the other artworks there, i can see it's intentional. still, it's not overly obvious, her face looks pretty and "normal", that kinda thing.

 

then we have Wildflower Wildfire: there are intensely obvious bruises on her chest and neck area, her face is distorted in a subtle uncanny valley type way. similarly the lyrics of the song take on a slightly darker theme and they're more revealing than the lyrics of Blue Banisters.

 

finally, Text Book is the most revealing and arguably upsetting song of all, and with it comes an artwork with amped up darkness and ugliness - her face is more distorted, her bruises are darker and more numerous.

 

it's giving a lil bit of FKA Twigs x Jesse Kanda vibes:

Spoiler

 

sorry if someone said this already!! im at work rn and keeping up with all the madness is proving difficult!!

[IanadeIrey 60,671]

3 of her best songs ever. No doubt about it.

[lanaismamom 11,111]

can we all agree now blue banisters is her best opener

[Churchome Rep 3,190]

Damn Lana kinda drags her dad in WW but also talks about him tenderly in TB. I wonder what he will post about this

[Elazar 60]

so do we have any fanmade or alternate cover artworks yet?

[jaesana 2,949]

ME RIGHT NOW JESUS CHRIST

[SuperMegaStan 9,642]

these three sound like free form poetry, voice memo and reading journals at the same time.... something like hope is a dangerous thing mixed with violet bent backwards

[#glimmeringdarling 4,545]

SOMEONE SHOULDVE PUT ELECTRIC GUITARS IN WW 

[whitelungswhitepalms 9,667]

I always catch myself getting mad over people opinion on lanas music

 

when I see Twitter stand saying something negative like my first reaction is whyyyyy

 

then I step back and realize, who gives an actual fuck 

 

it’s just me and Lana in my ears always delivering
