Reycists wanting Lana to be a depressed bitch for the rest of her life confirmed.

 

Also, I don't see how this album lacks "tha spark" or whatever. It's actually her most passionate, intimate record to date?

 

well atleast depressed lana could make memorable music

I don't care what a Blaire White, Lady Gaga fan thinks

[WildMustang 14,759]

I read a review from a local site and they gave LFL 4/10 saying that the only songs that worth are LFL and Love..lol

Shut up gays what u call spark i call sadness, problematic relationships and depression. Let the girl be happy and sing happy things..we in the position of fans have to support on her new and brillant life... Ultraviolence is a masterpiece but it was a moment of her life.. A BAD moment.. We dont want this spark again..

Damn fam, looks like I'm not the only one who needs to chill 

 

There's a thing called a forum, and these things called opinions that usually vary from individual to individual

Tbh the Burnt Norton interlude is more entertaining than White Mustard

Tbh LFL is still not 100% happy... its just her transition to that "new and brilliant life". She said Yosemite is her happy place, and "she s just not there yet". Thats why we dont have it.

 

Lana still sings about some personal issues on this album... and IMO even if she was to become truly happy... ....

....

....

 

Although i cant really see that happen easily I HOPE she gets better

 

its Lana... she is a special spark. Happy, sad, angry, sensual, playful.. its Lana

 

(IMO,imo)

Why is Lana waiting to release the video?

Life is Beautiful is "positive Lana" done in the correct way. (Not that there's ever a correct way to be positive but...) If LFL had more songs like that it would've been incredible. That's the spark in her music i think LFL kinda lacked. I'm not trying to put down the record in any way because i do love it, but that's just my opinion

Agree 100%

[Wynwood 19,967]

You gays are annoying

 

I hardly ever get to say anything without sounding angry because yalls opinions are stupid

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

She'll never top a song like Million Dollar Man. Don't @ me, I'm just doing God's work and spreading the truth.

[loleetah 4,084]

What I'm not understanding is that people use LFL as evidence that Lana isn't making "depressed" music anymore...people, the record is not happy. Not sure what album y'all are listening to but the one I have is dark, atmospheric and full of meaningful lyrics. The album is hopeful for a better, happier future, but knows we aren't quite there yet. That's why she cut Yosemite in the first place. 

 

These lyrics have less of a mourning feeling to them than others because it isn't as focused on Lana herself and her relationships. I think what you want is for Lana to continue pining for lost love with men that aren't good for her. I agree that the music was beautiful when she was singing about those things but she is growing and expanding her horizons as an artist. Don't confine her to one topic.

 

This is not happy Lana. This is self-aware, politically aware, hopeful, confident Lana. A happy album is Songs in the Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder.

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

I don't get why people trash others for wanting Lana to go back to her depressing music. People have their tastes, get over it.

[lustforlife 19,008]

lfl isnt a happy song. Lana can creat things that she didnt live everybody knows that. And she said she scrapped yosemite because she isnt in a happy place yet. Throwback, get free is a nice start btw and im happy for it.

[WildMustang 14,759]

I wish she could do something like Velvet Crowbar or Meet in the Pale Moonlight 

[lustforlife 19,008]

I hope we get a album with songs about the Love and passion she feels for Stella

She already wrote In My Feelings 

[Solar Fields 4,163]

Lana is capable of making good music that is "happy" or "hopeful" or whatever you want to call it

But LFL just isn't it in my opinion

It does have some highlights for sure, but it doesn't feel as interesting or fresh or as beautiful as a lot of her older work to me.
