Blue Banisters - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[rosemeadexclusivebbnewyorkcity 2,812]

I think only three songs are older than 5 years (Cherry Blossom, Living Legend, Nectar of the Gods) so it's still eligible as that's only 20% of the album. Beautiful was recorded in 2018 so that's four years old, and Dealer and Thunder are 2017 which is five years but not more than five years. My guess is that the Grammy committee will think it's "close enough" though any nominations at all for this album would be absolutely shocking.

Do we know if something from the Euphoria soundtrack has been submitted? Maybe since it was for the show they are the ones that could submit it and not Lana's team directly

Guys. If her team submitted Dealer for nominations then would it be considered for Best pop duo/group ? Since Miles Kane wasnt credited as featured artist.

be honest does dealer really deserve a grammy?

i mean i personally like the song but for a grammy tho? lmao

[Venice Peach 54,293]

I don't think BB having at least some nominations would be THAT unlikely... every year there are some albums that didn't make much noise in the nominations and some even win (for example Beck winning AOTY over Beyonce when his album was neither commercially or critically more successful than hers...)

 

I kinda just want it to happen so she can attend and we get some nice red carpet pictures

Do you have a source for this? I didn't know that Lana worked with Drew Erickson in 2018.

I have a feeling she won't attend the grammys ever again tbh but I hope I'm wrong 'cause I want new red carpet pics too

I think she'll eventually go again but only if she had some big category nominations like another AOTY nod... I don't think she would bother for pop vocal album for example 

[bluechemtrails 26,735]

Maybe we're a bit too pessimistic? I'm glad that she believes in her work and tries it anyway.

[Super Movie 51,667]

I'm almost positive that it's Lana's team that submits things for Grammys and not her, so I don't know if this is something Lana's super involved with or worried about right now. Either way, with the Grammy's history with Lana, there's no way they'd give her a win if she gets nominated  Although I'm always open to being surprised  

[lostindarkparadise 2,083]

They should’ve submitted for best alternative album 

[wilting daisy 3,395]

i could see lana getting song of the year. it is a songwriting award which is what she gets praised the most for. & blue banisters is a very well written song. definitely the best choice in song to submit. but at the same time i am not holding my breath bc the grammys always snub her.

[Acid 980]

Lana for the grammy's again? Yikes

why would she submit bb for best music video  

Right ? wtf

[bluechemtrails 26,735]

Maybe it would have been better if Lana had done a reduced base album and a Blue Banisters (bluer edition) = Blue Banisters + vault songs NOTG, LL, CB and others like Taylor did.

To make a long motherfucking story short, I didn't care for you a year ago and I still don't care for much of you. Pussy hoe.

[the ocean 67,601]

the zachary dawes tracks + title track + wildflower wildfire are welcome additions to her discography

the rest...

happy birthday anyway... here's a cookie 🍪

this is an OPINION

[LetTheLightln 1,486]

happy birthday to her best album since lfl  i hoped it marked the long awaited departure from j*** a***** but oh well

 

it's also the era that made me register on lanaboards so here i am a year later lmao

Blue Banisters... just like how you were unexpectedly released - Chemtrails' tales of romance had to breakdown. Both of those albums are dear to me and yes, i'm one of those fans that's gonna say those records were released at the perfect time for me. From the day Lana threatened us with that cover, something kept me going during a rough time. When she randomly dropped - what this fandom could unanimously agree on - three of some of her most personal songs to date i felt less and less alone. Nothing really breaks like a fake promise, or trying to desperately fill the gaps of an absent father. Funny enough, when i used to sulk in a depression back in May, i had a phase where i'd keep listening to the Thunder demo leak until an insider teased it was *attached* to the record. Very convenient as I developed a personal connection to that song and the fact that Cherry Blossom happened to be my favorite unreleased song ever. Then came Arcadia, which broke me even more. This was a record made for someone that was so close to just anchor, a heartbroken person, someone that never wanted to be misunderstood but to just be understood. Like look at how beautiful Sweet Carolina turned out to be! That's all it took. I will forever be grateful to Lana and her art, this is just even more proof of how much of a Living Legend she is herself.

 

Blue Banisters forever

Happy Birthday Blue Banisters 

I can't believe it's already one year old 

Truly love this album & it sounds so beautiful in autumn. It's in my top 3 Lana albums and it is kinda a comfort album to me it gave us so many great songs. Wildflower Wildfire is literally a career highlight,  I still love Text Books production so much , Thunder is stunningly beautiful,  If You Lie Down With Me , Black Bathing Suit , the wah wah wah part in Living Legend, we finally got Dealer & I'm happy I can listen to Nectar Of The Gods on vinyl , it was always one of my fave unreleased songs  

The strings & horns in Arcadia are so beautiful & the title track really grew on me.

Also we got to hear a bit of her screaming vocals, which I always wanted to hear 

This album is not everyones tea on here but I truly love it & love every song on it

 

Edit: I also forgot to say that I love the healing aspect the album has to it, at least on a few songs. In that way it helped me kinda heal & recover from shit that happened on my past. VfR really helped me to get over a toxic friendship and move one from that ( to me it was more than just a friendship but anyways). Maybe that's partly why I love the album so much
