Yeah, Lana is certainly mainstream now… happy for the recognition but feeling kinda jealous, like the world has discovered my secret

thats actually quite sad. it was certainly different a few years ago when she was being cancelled for saying how she felt and even before then when she was being cancelled for btd and uv. but i get that feeling too, because at some point it only felt like those here or my friends who listened only knew something i knew. 

imagine hearing uv and honeymoon for the first time, or being introduced with tunnel as your first lana album. man, those people have so much to get through and so many drastic changes lyrically and sonically between albums

 

tunnel would be a great start tho for new fans to listen. could listen to it before btd to hear where she went and where she came from

Thinking about the transition between Judah Smith Interlude → Candy Necklace → Jon Batiste Interlude... I see her vision now, she is a genius.

 

The production is amazing.
