Make me your Dream Life 87,447 Posted July 20 I was listening to ocean blvd’s title track and began thinking about the when’s it gonna be my turn, as a kind of motivation. Thinking, hey, you might not really have a turn, might as well make it your own? It’s a personal twist, and it works 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
motel six 2,964 Posted July 21 i personally think shorter song titles would look better/ i prefer them as oppose to the long song names you can hate me i knoooow they’re iconic also NAWWAL would’ve been so much better as wanderlust / grandfather as three white butterflies 🦋 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeyBlueBaby 3,330 Posted July 25 Blue Banisters is a quality record. Some people want to act superior and like the album is above their taste level of not "Lana's best" or whatever, but the gripes I've seen people hold about it are petty. It's her most direct, transparent, blunt record to date (before DYK). The album quite literally spells out Lana's heartache. It tells a full story, maybe parts of that are distorted, but nonetheless, you feel Lana's pain, agony and remorse. She can't make a bad album! I feel similarly about Chemtrails. Clearly, Lana is over LA but more than that, she's over the game (that's dark) and just wants to be loved (like a woman). But seriously, reflecting on life before fame, her spirituality, her sins, her detachment from her ego/persona/celebrity. It's such a rich album. She's a genius. 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fact that she reworked it to be a more lighthearted and somewhat romantic song versus this brooding and agonizing song speaks to her personal growth and change as a person and an artist. And it's so amazing to witness. On 7/17/2024 at 1:47 PM, Embach said: Pink Champagne does not suit COTCC at all, Let Me Love You suits COTCC perfectly. PC is Ultraviolence all over, it wouldn't have suited the folksy soundscape of COTCC Although while I love PC more, I still love the warmth of LMLYLAW. I consider PC and LMLYLAW two different songs because the difference is like 180 degrees. And people like to blame Jack for the change while I totally feel it was Lana behind the change because well...it was so Lana, the way she promoted that song as putting it as the lead single with a performance at Jimmy Fallon's show. People blaming Jack for Lana's style nowadays is totally misguided anger. This was always the direction Lana was heading - more folky and stripped back I mean hell, leaks from 15 years ago are in the vein of this. "Pop" or BTD was always a detour or means to an end. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lasso 13,188 Posted July 25 I prefer LMLYLAW to Pink Champagne honestly some lines in that song are so jarring, and I really don't like the bridge 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But tbh, I wish Lana would do another chemtrails but make it umphed up in drums and production. Edited July 25 by DemonMic2003 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Embach 40,762 Posted July 25 About Instagram: @honeymoon > @lanadelrey I do know that the posts are quite the same but the feeling in @honeymoon is different, kinda more personal? Like a blog or a little secret cave, well it's really not a secret anymore since it's public now but still, I loved the Honeymoon era posts there as well! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eugene 26,661 Posted July 26 I love it when Lana closes an album with a cover that fits the concept of the album... I feel like they are actually an outro after the closing song. Final Song → Outro Old Money → The Other Woman Swan Song → Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood Dance Till We Die → For Free 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s also like a peek into her psyche hearing her perform songs that are obviously very meaningful to her. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish Lana would've at least released a deluxe for Honeymoon (even if it just added Come With Me) and Chemtrails (because it's a shorter album, & 2 songs are features.) 1 minute ago, Ice Cream Ice Queen said: I will never get over the Lust For Life demo not being the final version Same, but its the solo bladerunner demo for me.
