She looks… off in the middle. I think her head is too big which is making her look too short and unfortunately due to that and her neck length here, reads as

i'm an english graduate so imma give you a few pointers on academic writing (i can't sleep and got nothing better to do)

i'm writing this to genuinely help you with your course, not to make fun of you or anything

who? name a media outlet or a critic who has accused the title track; if your essay is based on opposing these allegations, you must be more clear on who has made these allegations and for which reason. "many people" doesn't tell the reader anything. you need specific examples (which is the reoccurring issue in the essay)

absolutely not. your argument in an essay cannot be that you have common sense. delete. your viewpoint needs to be supported by factual arguments and evidence, it can't be "just trust me bro"

i love how you say this and then proceed to provide no background for the song at all the background would provide us with info about the era of her career and the topics she dealt with at that time of the song release, other related media such as the song's music video and other songs from the album and her opus that are correlated to lana's songwriting in Ultraviolence, and then more specific who is she singing about in the song etc.

you cannot analyze a lyrics and not provide any examples. You should have copied a few lines and said "in this line it's evident that she' talking about this and that." you need to imagine that this is going to be read by someone who never heard the song so all this would mean nothing to an average reader (and that's one of the important aspects of academic writing when it comes to topics like this - you always have to assume the reader does not know anything about the matter, in other words, you need to spell everything out and be as specific as possible) . For example, Lana Del Rey opens the song by saying that her lover used to call her a deadly nightshade. This implies this and that (and in this part you argue how this line supports you view)... I know this sound very dumbed-down, but this is an academic way of presenting information. evidence (example) spelled out + analysis

the part with "they serve as a cautionary tale" is very interesting and i wish you actually showed us how exactly and in which lines is the song a cautionary tale. that would have been an amazing argument, i love the expression cautionary tale, great job with that

girl what is the message? you mention it twice and you're defending the message without even telling us what is the message of the song

 

you could have gone so much deeper into explaining how does the song not romanticize abuse and toxic relationships. even to me it's unclear how exactly how argued that it does not. because you basically expressed you general opinion and the feeling you get when you listen to the song, but you didn't make any strong arguments. in which part of the song or in which line can we see that Lana's not romanticizing abuse? How can you prove that she's singing from a perspective of someone who's aware of the danger of toxic love and not from the perspective of someone who's lost in it or enjoying it?

no shade to lana, but how? again, you need to prove this. how does the lyrical style show her talent? what lyrical devices did she use? what words or lines can be felt strongly by the listener and why? what about storytelling?

 

in conclusion, you have a great way with words and it all looks nice. I have zero notes for the language and writing style, A+  for that. however, the content is an issue. you need to be so much more specific. provide examples, have clear arguments, go into depth and take us there. your essay is very very general, very subjective, and it doesn't say too much of something specific and it doesn't really help the reader learn something new or make him/her think about the topic

Thankyou, i emailed my tutor and asked if i could resubmit it and they said i could if i wanted too and will give me a new submission link - this is the first essay i have ever written ( and most of my class too!), so this feed bacm is helpful, thankyou for being so nice about the feedback. when i rewrite it ill post it here too! <3

I always heard Burnt World tbh like scorched earth. Bird World really doesn't make any sense to me 

 

But the fandom adopted Bird World so  We should ask her about it next time she goes live  Also any alternate contenders for Ocean Blvd's title

For Ocean Blvd alternative titles all we have is the mysterious DNC

makes so much sense and fits her style. Maybe it could have been a reference to The Greatest “L.A. is in flames, it’s getting hot” and explains why there’s a city in flames behind her in the cover

idk i wrote some story to blue banisters for fun lol

 

I sat alone in my quiet apartment, and my mind wandered back to the time I visited Oklahoma with Jenny. She had taken me around and introduced me to her friends, and we had a great time sitting by the pool, drinking beer, and talking about men, legacies, and happiness.

 

Looking out of the window, I saw the sky turning a dark shade of red, and I remembered the Santa Clarita Fires that had devastated the area years ago. A sense of fear crept over me, and I wished for rain to come and wash away the dryness.

 

I had a hole in my heart that no one could seem to fill. I had loved so many women, all of whom tried their best to heal me, but nothing seemed to work. There were two men in my life, one from the past and one from the present, but neither of them could fill the void.

 

Every May, my sisters would come to visit me. We would spend the day painting my banisters green and grey, a tradition that had been passed down through generations. It was a day filled with laughter and love, and I always looked forward to it. I loved how the changing of the seasons brought my family together.

 

As I sat there, lost in thought, I realized that life was full of ups and downs, just like the changing of the seasons. I knew that my sisters would always be there for me, and that gave me comfort. Looking out of the window again, I saw that the sky had cleared up, and the sun was shining. I smiled to myself and went to make a cup of tea, feeling grateful for the memories and the people in my life.

Hi, I am looking for a photo of Lana to use as my PFP. The photo was used by Honeymouns for their upload of Unidentified Flying Bill, which is now deleted for some reason. If anyone can link me to the photo, I would appreciate it.  Tried searching for it on a gallery site and couldn't find it.
