I don't like her giving the middle finger at the end of the Arcadia videos either, not at all. It seems very immature and misguided, and completely dissolves the "I'll pray for you" sentiments she expresses at the end of the song. If that is her idea of 'revenge' (and we don't know that it is, of course), then it is tepid and flaccid indeed, will do nothing but make her enemies in the media dislike her more in a belittling way. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spoiler I agree. I've heard in several times and it does clearly have something of a humorous touch, which I applaud. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is she even doing that or am I missing something? I think her way of revenge is to show her true singing and poetry talent and present her best possible songs. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mlittle11 12,037 Posted October 11, 2021 her revenge is obviously being the vulnerable n soft woman she is. shes telling her story the way no one could (ie mommy issues, poor relationship with her dad, poor relationships with men). using lyrics like “im a lost little girl” is what got her criticism in the first place. she’s not afraid anymore. obviously yall are missing the point. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because any dieheard Lana Stan, even people like Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks and Joan Baez, have probably all heard the leaked tracks dozens or hundreds of times. And critics as well. uhm i don’t get your point cause one thing that’s sure is none of the people you cited have heard any of these leaks. i doubt any of them even listens to lana like that. the big majority of people aren’t die hard fans but locals/casual stans/people who like/love her but aren’t clinically obsessed with her like we are and none of them know most of her leaks (besides maybe the very well known ones like serial killer) and certainly not songs like cherry blossom or living legend. hell there’s a ton of people here or twitter stans who never listened to the the leaked songs. let alone critics, they barely care about her released work as if they’d bother to look up her 300+ leaked songs i don’t think any of the non-die hard stans will care if the songs are old and leaked because they’ll seem new to them anyway especially since half of them won’t be the same version we already have. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surf Noir 188,715 Posted October 11, 2021 uhh... yeah... i highly doubt bruce springsteen, joan baez, stevie nicks, etc. have heard living legend, cherry blossom, & nectar of the gods when a celebrity praises her or says they're a fan of her music i get the impression that they only know a few songs, or only her officially released work at the most 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PatentLeatherDoOver 25,803 Posted October 11, 2021 2 hours ago, ChaoticLipster said: Yeah totally it didn’t sound like a Mike Dean produced song at all tbh…I mean wtf did she even hire him the others could have produced Wildflower all the same. I agree that it doesn’t sound (at least to me) very Dean-esque, and I think it’s possible that he adjusted the production of the song to better fit Blue Banisters. My guess is that they began working together at the latter end of BB’s development (after Simon and Erickson), and maybe she had one last “statement” she wanted to make for the record..or maybe WFWF is just an outlier that she felt would better fit LDR7.

You think they know less about everything related to it than we do? Just because they're artists in their own right doesn't mean that they don't Stan other artists of all kinds. To come forward with the kind of public praise for Lana that they have, I'd say they follow her pretty closely. Dont get us started on Billie 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arcadialovesong2018 674 Posted October 11, 2021 Anyone else not a big fan of Lana bringing her family members into her albums? She got this success on her own, the others do not really deserve just getting royalties through nepotism. Like what is this.. the royal family and we are paying taxes for them? also, “I don’t want social media” but then having a secret social media is…. anyway 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make me your Dream Life 83,134 Posted October 11, 2021 Honestly? I dont really care. I do think its sweet her fam’s getting support from her. for me at least, if I had success I’d want to bring my friends n family to help grow them bc I love n care for them. theyre gonna have to work harder to not make me look like a fool tho so there’s that.
