Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (24 March 2023) (1 Viewer)

no lies told tbh :D



"I feel like being happy is the ultimate goal - so I did it" :disco: she's such a fucking awkward, nervous speaker!
 
OK @POP! I caved and listened to The Grants. I'm gagged. totally new kind of song for her, the way it all comes together with the choir at the end...
 
Fingertips is a bit too meandering and stream of consciousness for me. and schmaltzy. I don't LOVE it
 
Don't forget me

like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard

Oh if POP! is getting my hopes high only for it to turn out to be another COCC…

Try again bitch. It’s like “Hope” but a million times better if that’s possible.
 
"Peppers" and "Taco Truck" are somewhat bops (only LQ snippets are out)

That's why they call me Lanita
My gold chain says LANITA

oh my god some of the extended quotes from the Rolling Stone piece are just great

Often these lessons come directly from specific people, Del Rey says, referring to a relationship with one particular man: “The lesson was so shocking and it didn’t even really take the sting out of it. But I realised only that person with that particular look and stature and cheerful disposition that people considered him to have — that almost made me look like I wasn’t the positive one — only that kind of person could’ve brought me to my knees in the way that I needed to see what else I could add to my life to have a baseline foundation so that I could always come back to myself.”​
In a poem from her first collection, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, she describes desperately travelling to an AA meeting, knowing that she must leave her unpleasant relationship with a secretive man. She cries to the women and rehab teens while she tells her story. Del Rey ends ‘Thanks to the Locals’ with the lines: “I don’t have a pretty couplet to give resolution to this poem / nothing very eloquent to say / except that I was brave / and it would’ve been easier to stay”.​
and this

On the title track and first single, Del Rey asks longingly, “When’s it gonna be my turn?” Though she says this refers to wondering when it’s her turn for anything to happen for her, the question of whether she will carry the family line on by being a mother and when (and whether marriage and love is included in that) appears multiple times across the album. As for maternal yearnings, she’ll only talk about the passage in The Bell Jar when Sylvia Plath’s protagonist considers the metaphorical tree of life choices that face a woman: marriage, children, career options and so on. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet, Plath wrote.​
“It’s giving fig tree,” says Del Rey. “It’s giving Sylvia Plath, so many figs and if I don’t pick one first, they’ll all wither away and then there will be no figs to choose from.”​

what an interesting human being. there are also multiple mentions of her psychic Tessa, who she sees every Tuesday and who seems to be a highly influential figure in her life :D full piece here
 
Blue Banisters is her weakest/most directionless album, but I still enjoy it for what it is. It's just not essential like the others. Chemtrails isn't wall to wall classics but it at least gave us "White Dress", "Yosemite" and "Dance Till We Die", which are among her best.
 
don't worry, mother of the gheys MILEY CYRUS drops a new record tomorrow to tide you over :disco:
 
Those pics really show she might have some LATINX heritage in her BLOOD. she really fist the CHOLACORE mood so nicely.
 
More "new music" is apparently coming, whatever that means. I'm suspecting she is announcing something extra/performing new music not on the album on Tuesday.

 
Is she ever going to release a proper music video again? A&W didn't even get its own artwork. What happened to our visual queen?

"The Grants" is a good choice, although I think "Grandfather" would have been excellent as well.
 
I think this is my favourite of the 3. obviously A&W bangs, but I don't play it that much yet, and the title track is still growing. but this one... that heavenly chorus into the final choir outro... :disco: it's beautiful
