My issue with Fantano is that he likes to pretend that he doesn't have an obvious bias against Lana. When she first got big, he full on said that he thinks she's only famous because of the way she looks. I could give less of a shit about what he thinks of the music but that just really bugs me that he said that. 

 

But anyways, it rained where I'm at all day, so I went for a drive through the autumn leaves and the rain while listening to the album. It was stunning. Lana picked the perfect release date for BB. I can't imagine it being released during any other season.

I can tell what my fav songs are by whats been stuck in my head constantly which is bbs, iyldwm, beautiful, violets, thunder, nectar and sweet coronavirus

[Fingertips 72,053]

Anyways, this is my daily post about how magnificent this record truly is. Can't stop thinking about the line in Arcadia, "They built me up three hundred feet tall just to tear me down / So I'm leavin' with nothing but laughter, and this town / Arcadia / Findin' my way to ya / I'm leavin' them as I was, five foot eight / Western bound." It's a manifesto from an artist who has nothing left to prove and will continue exploring soundscapes and creating their life's work through music.

Wait, so she isn't singing "MAGA Rallies" in Violet for Roses' second verse? What are Merthyr alleys?  

 

i've been trying to figure this out and i truly have no idea. that's what apple music says but literally every lyrics website says something different:

 

I've also seen Merthys, madder, and murder on other websites ?????? so like what's the truth? 

[CmonDownToFL 6,680]

How would YOU feel if someone made you trade your violets for roses? 

What if someone tried to take all the pink of YOUR toeses???? 
 

 

WHAT would you do if someone made you trade your brand new 2021truck for Rollses? 
 

Those are the important questions Elizabeth leaves us with.

I'm honestly having a bad day. Today is the 4th year without my older brother. I was feeling bad to being with then some girl on facebook, that I barely know called me an abomination and Im gonna go to hell cause I'm gay and a drag queen. Then I found out my little brother is having a kid. Hes way to young, hes just a teenager. I'm just going through alot of emotions right now but B.B. is helping me calm down. Like Beautiful. Let me be sad/blue to make something beautiful with my art/ life. I'm happy Lana can do the same with her music and make something amazing for us to enjoy and help us in our lifes.

She’s saying Mayor!

 

”and by the mayor, the rallies in the streets have ceased and still the shadows haunt the avenue”

 

She mentions Larchmont in the song, which is a neighborhood in LA near where the mayor mansion is. I think it also relates to this line in her poem:

 

“Hancock Park, it's treated me very badly, I'm resentful
The witch on the corner, the neighbor nobody wanted
The reason for Garcetti's extra security“

 

because Hancock park is very close to it and Garcetti is the mayor, I think she either must have written the two around the same time or live there or something? Who knows

I'm so sorry to hear about all your struggles lately. Please don't listen to any cruel words anyone ever says to you. You're more special than you think 💕

Enjoy the record and take it easy, things will get better soon

Thank you, I'm happy to be part of this forum and community. Its funny how her music can make so many people come together. The new album has literally been on repeat since the released. I should probably actually practice for my shows but Lana's music calms my spirit.

[Make me your Dream Life 88,995]

so then its good that i never watched those reviews then im guessing. 

[Mineofyouwithme 85]

I've been depressed as hell for months, and I'm just sitting here crying over nothing in an A&W parking lot drinking root beer through a soggy paper straw while blaring Beautiful and Violets for Roses on repeat.

 

10/10 love this album.

This honestly makes the most sense and I think you might be right. I wish she or her team would correct them

Ok I swear I'm not a COCC hater but I really think White Dress was too good for COCC. Not because it's a bad album, but because the song is emotional and reminisces on the past so it would have been perfect for BB since that's basically the theme. Knowing now what the intention of BB is, White Dress seems a bit out of place.

It could have been used perfectly in place of The Trio  

Spoiler

No seriously listen to the album like this now

Just do it

Arcadia into White Dress and then White Dress into Black Bathing suit wow ur mind  searching for paradise, yearning the simpler times, then reflecting on the hectic nature of the life she now lives i cri evrytiem

Accidentally listened to the radio for a while today n went with it and I think part of what separates Lana’s music from pop radio music is that it’s infused w genuine emotion, and isnt afraid to be slow. It’s infused w nuance and is real rich w its cadences and isnt afraid to sound how it does. It has an original soul
 

the album’s on a tier of its own n im sure time’ll treat it well
