THOUGHT EXPIRIMENT - If she played Paris Texas or Say Yes to Heaven we would all think it’s iconic. I don’t think we’re sick of piano ballads, i think we’re just sick of the SAME piano ballads.

I spoke up for Palestine. I don’t believe in genocide. I know he’s Jewish and that’s completely fine, but yeah he blocked me cause I spoke against the genocide that is happening to Palestinians. I love Palestinians and love Jewish people. HATE the Israeli government and what they continue to do. That’s all I’m gonna say cause this is the Coachella thread. But just so people know where I stand ❤️

 

now back OT, I am really hoping for a FJM duet next weekend. LTLI is one of those songs that just screams ‘summer’ and it’s beautiful! Has anyone found the blue dress she wore yet? I neeeeeeed it 

OH sorry I misunderstood and thought you meant HE spoke up for Palestine (when I very clearly remembered him being pro Israel, so I was confused)

The fact that Lana opened the show with that song that twelve years ago was used as an example of "unhealthy music for children to listen to".

It's so mean wtf!!!

That is literally horrible

 

I loved her performance and the only problem there was the fact that the mic wasn't working

say yes to heaven isn’t a piano ballad, but your point still stands. 
 

I do wonder why she decided to start with such high energy and then immediately kill it. Even the trap beat Love verse before bartender was at least a little interesting.

This! and the way the setlist was structured.

[Make me your Dream Life 83,211]

honestly the more reviews you read, the more blue banisters the album shines 

[NikoGo 52,179]

Like I get playing the more ‘deep cut’ songs (Bartender, Arcadia, grants) at her shows, but for Coachella she really should have done at least Flipside and DMD with their new production, SYTH, and Thunder. Hopefully we get LTLI next week

It's weird, she fought many times to include SYTH on her albums, yet it seems like she hates that song... She hasn't acknowledged it not even once since it was released

at least she gave the single a remarkabel cover, but all these ugly remixes were irritating

I'm kinda confused, Lana clearly loves to have fun. She loves fun music, yet always chooses to sing slow songs and constantly think everyone hates her upbeat tracks...

 

I would understand if she only felt comfortable doing slower songs, but then again, there are many fan favorite ballads she pays dust. Is she that oblivious, or deliberately chooses to do the complete opposite of what the public wants?

 

There are so many easy songs she could do, but she chooses not to. She could rely on the backing track and not even be bothered to lift a finger, let the crowd sing and the band do their magic, but no...

 

I was thinking about this at the gym just now. The only way I can justify her setlist was if she was going for an outright ANTI-POP statement.

 

Like, "I'm Lana Del Rey, I'm going to the best festival in America, and I'm going to bore everyone to death with obscure, slow songs that no one's ever heard of - just because I can. I'm going to prove to the world that real art doesn't need to be neither ubpeat nor familiar. And my dancers and I are going to shake our booties and dance on a strip pole to delicate piano. Take that, America."
