Unpopular Lana Opinions

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion: I hate Love.

 

I hate her voice in it, the words, melodies, the vibe... It puts me in an agitated mindset that it's the opposite of what I feel when I listen to her other songs.

 

I can't even listen to the demo. The instrumental is more bearable, but as soon as she starts singing, I want it to stop

One of my least fav songs she’s ever released- I listen to LFL pretty regularly but never to this song. I just find it so boring & lackluster.

This song is so hated, she don't deserve this 

For my part I would like to talk about it because it is one of the songs that did not disappoint me when it was released, and the clip was absolutely sublime. It was fresh and new coming from Lana after a hopeless dark Honeymoon. Despite the fact that it was quite new, I think she had a certain consistency in her universe, more pop and more radio, and then she had a big buzz that day. When I heard the chorus it was too much, what an atmosphere. The impression of being in the stars with her. The frozen winter and the exoplanets found that day. And then the cover, a beauty! Too pretty, I can't digest the bland cover of Lust for life with its strange smile.

 

This title had its universe and stood out from the rest, and I regret that Lust for life did not look like this for the clips (disappointing era and I do not forget Cherry that we never had), I wanted so much a Lana atmospheric conquer the stars with space mermaid songs

Love is one of my all time favs I will never understand why so many people here hate it. In the chorus when she sings "to be young and in looooooaaaaahhahvvv" it's just so 

I thank god I was born with taste

In retrospect Lana telling Azealia to get a new psychiatrist and psych drug cocktail was a bit   especially  since I’m like 99% sure Lana would go ham if someone said that to her. obviously I lean towards Lana’s side in that debate and I know Azealia said a bunch of nasty horrid stuff to her but out of all the things she could’ve criticized her on, she chose her mental health  uh could’ve just said “at least I didn’t bite a night guard’s nipple like you” or something and left it at that

Ya it was very cringe and she should have never even taken the bait

 

that’s why I feel Like this next record could be absolutely dreadful. She’s very bad at defending herself in a way that doesn’t come off as like 14 year old boy talking shit on call of duty on Xbox

She needs to drop the Joni act and go back to doing dream-pop/psychedelic music. I need more Venice Bitches, Cruel Worlds/Shades of Cool type songs for the summer.

To be fair, I’d say the UV era was more of an “act” — the smoky-eyed psych rock goddess shtick is definitely moreso an outlier in her career than what she’s doing now. Go back to the beginning, and see that it all started with very unadorned, Joni-esque singer-songwriter material — whether she was tying beats to it in the BTD era or adding fuzzy guitars for UV, I think COTCC kind of represents where she’s always been drawn.

The lyrics to Yosemite are some of her most basic to date, but I still really enjoy the song.

It’s true it’s true! But I still love it sm. Especially the “i remember watching how deep was my valley” part

Lyrically it sort of chills for a couple minutes but

Then I was thinking how deep was the canyon that you came from?

is one of the best Lana lines period

I want her to wear that red and white dress on her story in an mv for Wild at Heart

Serve

Oh wait I thought this was the COCC thread but this is probably unpopular so it stays

Oh actually imagine she wears it on the RCS cover

Yes to all this. I'm not amused with this Joni hippie folk shit.

This is embarrassing.  Just say you don’t like folk music. Her recent music isn’t any more like Joni Mitchell than her old music was, in fact it’s actually less so. Joni Mitchell was never a folk singer. She was mostly an experimental jazz musician, if you could even put her in a box. In fact, Venice Bitch and Cruel World and Shades of Cool are way closer to Joni Mitchell’s music than anything on COTCC (except maybe Yosemite). I suggest you go listen to The Hissing of Summer Lawns, then go find an actual “folk musician” to hate on (there’s lots to choose from!)

Folk musicians don't deserve any hate

You’re right, they don’t. But if people are gonna hate “folk musicians”, they might as well hate ones that actually play folk music.

heroin is her most powerful song

I'm not a fan of folk music or jazz or whatever it is ? BUT because I love Lana so much, songs I would have otherwise never gotten into, I've gotten into bc of her, like on COCC. Ugh ??? Still hoping for a strong production for RCS but ye

It's one of her most mysterious songs, I wish she wrote more "disturbing" lyrics like that.

I actually thought for a long time that Lust For Life was the album opener since I took Love out lol.
