"Lust for Life" Album Recording/Writing Timeline and Creative Process Discussion

[Veinsineon]

When we all realize that the seeds for LFL were sewn when Prisoner was recorded/released, what then?
 

 

I mean she was literally in the studio making that with Abel right after honeymoon and I’ve always felt that Galactic Hollywood aura had an effect on her headspace approaching the next record. They had mentioned when discussing Honeymoon (title track) as being almost similar to a sci-fi horror movie from the 80s, so I wonder if that sci-fi magic was just in the air and organically developed into the LFL we know as she realized what all she wanted to address on the record.

It's just admirably crazy how prolific she is, like she always plants the seed of her next album while recording the previous one. Who knows maybe she's already cooking LDR11 and LDR12 on Stove as well (yes pun intended)

I yearn for that space magic shit, I'm sure many others did too because we all wanted more * w i t c h y * after LFL like we felt the energy!!! we were robbed of that b sides because I just know it would've fulfilled every whim and desire that lipsters were clawing for... Just thinking about it brings such a rush of excitement and nostalgia like I just know I would've in absolute tears hitting play on Spotify for the first time in 2019  Maybe we could like build a time machine and slip a laxxy into Jack's drink at the Grammys party

So about the May 2017 tracklist (which was 18 tracks according to her on BBC interview) and obviously we're excluding Change cause it didn't exist back then

Did any insider actually confirm TNBAR and Yosemite as 2 of the three songs that got scrapped or what?

Cause otherwise those 3 songs can be anything

Like maybe some of the tracks on the 2016 tracklist on that paper (LA Who Am I, Good Intentions)

Or maybe some of the B-sides project tracks

Or other tracks like Roses Bloom, Everything I Do
