13 Beaches is honestly the most overrated track nowadays. People complain about "take off all your clothes" being too on-the-nose, but "it hurts to love you, but I still love you" is cringey af. It's embarrassing to listen to

I often see a lot of slander for Carmen and Freak which I will not condone.

Carmen is just... baddd. And Freak is okay but it's not got the best melody. Well it didn't grab my attention much when i listened to HM

What is wrong with Carmen?  :biblio:  

The only things I don't like about Freak are the "blublublublublu" and "stranger than a stranger" parts. I love the chorus.

Most overrated things in the Lana fandom: 

Ultraviolence (Album)

 

And those are fucking facts

WRONG.

i love both carmen and freak ... the first is so sad and dark, it's both appropriate and shocking to sing like that about a young girl 

 

freak has a dope instrumental, and the message isn't that different from "come and take a walk on the wild side, let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain" which is yes - cliché, but it's still interesting. If I squint, all of HM could be about her relationship with music, with freak being about her being tempted to go to hollywood, california, let loose and embrace her art/music (it's reaching but my brain does little gymnastics like that  :defeated: )

I agree. There are a lot of songs on Honeymoon where she seems to talk about her relationship with music-- Religion being the most obvious.

I don't know if it's obvious, but it's definitely how I see it when I listen to it, because I definitely understand having music override your life until there's no more true space left for yourself and then enjoy it until your ears bleed. I mean she could be singing about a man for all i know but it's easier for me to connect it to Music.

I went to a vintage clothing store today with a friend and oh my god there was so much inspiration for the L4L era that I feel like Lana just ignored

I found this dress in the early 1970s section and I'd love to see Lana wear something like this in a Get Free music video, raising her arms slowly over her head as she walks into a sunset framed with a rainbow across the sea, with the sky melting from a murky dusk to an expanse of glistening stars

you look amazing, and all these clothes are gorgeous even those in the back  :defeated: it slightly reminds me of valentino 2015 the planets/stars collection (which is why i think this era had potential for more, but it's personal)

there were no boys in Honeymoon

It was all about the fight between Elizabeth and Lana

 

every song in  Lust for Life references a past song

 

Coachella the #1 song of 2017 and Burnt Norton both are extremely important, and their meaning cannot be ignored


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp
