I need to trauma dump again really quick but its still relevant to the album so I want to post here if thats okay

 

on the 22nd my aunt suddenly died (she enjoyed Lana, especially Honeymoon & Chemtrails style songs.. she would have loved BB the most i think...)

 

tonight my 16 year old dog i got in 2nd or 3rd grade died (im 24)

i also received bad medical results about myself today

 

and tomorrow (the 30th) will be 6 years since my grandma who raised me randomly died in a car accident 

 

with all that being said, THIS ALBUM... oh my god

so beautiful. so special. so intimate. 

 

I know im taking on an even deeper meaning than the songs already have because of my personal situation but I just truly love this album so much and im so thankful for it.

Lana doesnt lie when she says its a cruel world.

 

with the passing of my aunt the first few days i was absolutely sobbing to sweet carolina & living legend

tonight & for the next few days I guess it will be cherry blossom.

 

Im lost you guys! i dont have the words to express how i feel but if youve ever experienced grief you know.

So grateful for this website, its a great distraction and helpful hobby <3

💙 Sending lots of love — know that better days are on their way. Wishing you nothing but goodness.

I like how this album deals a lot with overcoming traumas and replacing it with love and realizing that love can still exist despite holes in one's heart. or at least doing what can be done to cope. it's like her relationship w the collective culture is sort of written about, rage is felt, disappointment, and how that can tremble someone, but what she chooses to do is acknowledges the bellows of how she feels, and decides to still love and find ways to do better than how she was done.

Yes. Thank you. I had a whole post in mind, starting typing and then just got lost. Yes the Blue is referenced a lot on Honeymoon. 
 

I'm just interested to look into if maybe it changes as she changes or as her state of mind changes. I think it means something. But maybe it just means the color blue and she likes the color. 

Born to die : navy blue

Ultraviolence : electric blue

honeymoon : sky blue

lust for life : planet earth type blue idek LOL

norman : violet blue

chemtrails : periwinkle

blue banisters : every blue ever combined into one meta blue

the fact we got 2 fucking full ass albums this year..... i wonder what jack thought of blue banisters. he didn't post about it like he does when he works on her albums. made me wonder... i know he liked some posts she made post cocc though so idk

 

He posted the cover on his IG story the day it was released and wrote "Beautiful", so I don't think there's any beef/drama.

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,783]

If I had to choose a record for Lana to provide commentary on (similar to the brief one she did for UV), I think I would choose Blue Banisters or Honeymoon. 
 

Arguably more than any of her past records, Blue Banisters is just chock-full of obscure references, conversations, and symbolism. I’d even love to hear more background on the production choices of songs like WFWF and BBS; the tracklist selection process would be really neat as well given how narrative-driven it is. 
 

If she does another livestream, hopefully one of the gays will mention something from this to her

I know someone who know the man who reviewed it! Here his worlds:

 

"Him like it more than fantano. Really appreciate the record!" 

 

But he cant send scores so he dont know the score yet. 

 

But i think a positive score like 7.5-8.0 is coming
