Random Lana Discussion Thread

i feel like DYKTTATUOB is currently a promo, but will eventually become the second

this is surprisingly very common in lana's discography where a song becomes a promo either concurrently or before the release of another single

blue jeans (promo at the same time as video games) > 3rd single
burning desire (itunes only track) > 2nd single
ultraviolence (released in a set with 2 other promo singles shortly after WC's release) > 2nd single
blue banisters (released in a set with 2 other promo singles a few months before the album's release) > 2nd single

it'll probably happen with this one too

elaborating on this a bit more in this thread but here's how i view lana's single runs because it's hard to distinguish her proper singles from her promo singles

BTD: video games > born to die > blue jeans > national anthem > summertime sadness > dark paradise (regional)
Paradise: ride > burning desire
UV: west coast > ultraviolence > black beauty (regional)
HM: high by the beach > music to watch boys to
LFL: love > lust for life > summer bummer
NFR: doin time > fuck it i love you / the greatest
COCC: chemtrails... > white dress
BB: arcadia > blue banisters

basically what i considered were a. if it had a video b. if it got radio promotion c. if it got a standalone single release d. if it was promoted as part of the album rollout

shades of cool + brooklyn baby never got radio promotion iirc
terrence loves you never got a video, freak never got a standalone release
groupie love never got a video OR a standalone digital release, white mustang never got a standalone release
mariners, venice bitch & hope is a dangerous thing were never part of the proper album rollout, the NFR trilogy never got standalone releases
tulsa jesus freak was only promoted on radio
text book & wildflower wildfire never were part of the album rollout, while BB was because of the video being used to promote the album (not to mention it being the only one of the 3 to get a video)

this is a pretty useless post but i wanted to get this out of my brain

Don't know where to post this, I've been looking for an album reaction thread but could not find one. I've watched For Whatever Reason's reactions to every single track from Norman Fucking Rockwell! on YouTube and God how cool that was. I suggest you all to watch them he's really dedicated. I've watched a ton of reactions from different people over the years and his are probably the best I've stumbled upon in a long time. He's not over the top and doesn't clickbait, and he always watches performances or the music video of the track he's reacting to. He also put out a video in which he reacts to the interviews she did before/after the album roll-out. 

Here's the link redirecting you to his channel if you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/@ForWhateverReasonFWR 

He's next going to react to Chemtrails, Blue Banisters and Ocean Blvd once it comes out, then go back to the beginning with Born to Die onwards.

PS: NFR is now one of his favorite albums of all time. 

omg same i’ve just started watching his lana reactions and i’m really enjoying it so far. i kind of want to tell him to react to sirens and ldr aka lizzy grant before starting born to die but idk if he’ll do it or if he’ll even notice me :facepalm:

Cruel World listenings are upon us… does anyone remember that like 3 month period after Ultraviolence’s release where Genius just… didn’t have the lyrics to Cruel World at all? Called it an instrumental track… not sure why I remember that so vividly but even without the lyrics 13 year old me was gagging :whitney:

The culture wants a roster of who’s cut or uncut. I’m female, but for the gays; please let Lana know. Ben isn’t, Jack is. 

ok why would we want to know this by ANY mean


and also for giving me Margaret

Had a dream a Lana song leaked and it was from post Norman material but it sounded like a Lizzy acoustic song. Similar to Some Things Last A Long Time in quality. I think I remember the lyrics “sing a song about  some flowers just to make you feel better”. 
 

 

now I need to hear this in my life time :smokeney:

 

 

im convinced it’s because I listened to C U L8R Alligator before bed
