How come y'all aren't talking about this? And did she mean "mass" instead of "mas"

She meant "MÁS" (more).

[Coney Island King 25,998]

Pleeeeaseeee have a deluxe with BAR, please.

 

Unless its on there under a different name? Get Free?

[The Greatest 8,805]

Are those Summer Bummer lyrics fake? Cause I hope they are. I want the song to be sexy but, most of those lines AREN'T cute.

Im almost positive the only summer bummer lyrics we know are in the snippet lana shared

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Why is everyone upset about BAR? It was mediocre af.

[Wynwood 19,967]

the melody is amazing but I'm already over it

[The Greatest 8,805]

Why is everyone upset about BAR? It was mediocre af.

For me, it's like, we already have BAR why would we want it to bump out another song? I know we want it in HQ but I would rather have 2 songs, one in HQ and one in LQ than just one in HQ

 

Side note- I'm super surprised there were no meltdowns that LIB isn't on the tracklist 

[ilovetati 15,297]

I wonder if Heroin actually is a Velvet Underground cover. That both excited and terrifies me

"Heroin" - Velvet Underground

 

I don't know just where I'm going

But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can

'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man

When I put a spike into my vein

And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same

When I'm rushing on my run

And I feel just like Jesus' son

And I guess that I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision

I'm gonna try to nullify my life

'Cause when the blood begins to flow

When it shoots up the dropper's neck

When I'm closing in on death

And you can't help me now, you guys

And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk

You can all go take a walk

And I guess that I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas

On a great big clipper ship

Going from this land here to that

In a sailor's suit and cap

Away from the big city

Where a man can not be free

Of all of the evils of this town

And of himself, and those around

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin, be the death of me

Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life

Because a mainer to my vein

Leads to a center in my head

And then I'm better off and dead

Because when the smack begins to flow

I really don't care anymore

About all the Jim-Jim's in this town

And all the politicians makin' crazy sounds

And everybody puttin' everybody else down

And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds

'Cause when the smack begins to flow

Then I really don't care anymore

Ah, when the heroin is in my blood

And that blood is in my head

Then thank God that I'm as good as dead

Then thank your God that I'm not aware

And thank God that I just don't care

And I guess I just don't know

And I guess I just don't know

 

Doubt she'll cover this if it's a happier album...

I also couldn't imagine how she would sing this

[longtimeman 8,910]

I can't wait to hear the circus organ replacing John Cale's electric viola 

[LAman 3,223]

Beautiful brother, my heart is on fire

Daisy chain dreamer

I'm yours and you're mine yeah

 

From what I hear, it seems we're breaking every body's rules

But I don't mind baby, I'm easy as a day off school

 

I, I wanna be your groupie

A follower of beauty

I made a t-shirt with your name on it

 

Ah, you fill my heart with flowers

I've been up for hours

And baby I'd do anything that you wanted

 

Snow fallin' smile puts the stars on my pillow

Isn't it wild baby, I go where you go

 

Chasin' clouds with you so pretty in the summer sky

All I know is I'm so happy baby I could die

 

I, I wanna be your groupie

A follower of beauty

I made a t-shirt with your name on it

 

Ah, you fill my heart with flowers

I've been up for hours

And baby I'd do anything that you wanted

 

These aren't Lana lyrics, but they're from a song called Groupie by Kelli Ali. I imagined Lana singing this before, and the lyrics are so her. Also it's funny because she has a new song called Groupie Love. Just realized that song lyrics have "daisy chain" in them

[ultrababy 3,445]

Why is everyone upset about BAR? It was mediocre af.

Because it's one of Lanas best songs

[Coney Island King 25,998]

Well, the final portion of the album is more downbeat and melancholic from what we know thus far. Wouldn't surprise me, and we know how Lana needs a cover on each album. Only reason BTD didn't is because Priscilla wouldn't approve it.

If she covered Lou Reed after he was nearly on UV, that would be kind of bittersweet.

Priscilla as in Presley? Did Lana want an Elvis cover and she denied it? I've never heard this story, how interesting. Sorry for OT.

I mean, I'm not sure you can really sing about heroin in a way that would fit a happy album without glorifying it, which would be a very bad look.

[HEARTCORE 18,969]

Don't think she would be doing a cover on this albums, she is usually rather excited about them and mentions them fairly early into the era, she would've probably talked about it by now if one did exist

[ilovetati 15,297]

Yep, she wanted Heartbreak Hotel on BTD!
