Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass on Apple Books

[swooning 447]

This poetry... isn’t good.

Apparently, fans speculate that the tense and dark ending of the album is an introduction to the sound of Chemtrails over the Country Club. I think it makes sense.

I love that cover

[L E O 6,035]

This maybe isn't the greatest piece of poetry ever written, but damn, is it soothing. Her speaking voice with these instrumentals? Give me that every month

The fact that the battle for the next year's Grammy will probably be between Lana and Dalai Lama.

Review by NME:

It’s a fascinating project – one that sees her explore topics such as love, trust, happiness, friendship, climate change and more, with the audiobook version set to music composed by Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff. She pulls off these musings and observations brilliantly, creating a new offshoot of the very specific world she’s created as Lana Del Rey. Here are the biggest talking points from the record.

It’s no surprise that Lana’s poetry is beautiful and vivid – she’s always been a master lyricist and long spoken of her love of the likes of Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg, after all. What makes ‘Violet…’ so brilliant, though, are the little details that light up her passages, giving glimpses into her (or someone else’s) life.

If you’ve ever wanted to have Lana read you a bedtime story, this audiobook is your chance. Her delivery is soothing and calm, somehow even when her voice is quickening and contorting with emotion. Sometimes the mic crackles like she’s a little too close to it and other times there’s a lo-fi sheen over the whole recording. On final track ‘Bare Feet On Linoleum’, a cacophony of voices clamour behind Lana, as though you’re sat in the corner of a busy dive bar or stood in a TV shop with the volume on every set turned up. The effects of each are a cosy kind of intimacy, as though she’s laying out these stories just for you.

When NME met up with Lana in LA last August, she spoke about the perception of her as a “sad girl” and argued that allowing herself to feel those lows “sometimes makes me actually more cheerful than some people I know, because I gave myself permission to have a lot of colours”. On the new poem ‘Happy’, she reinforces that idea that, while she’s not just one thing, she’s also not the permanently blue caricature people perceive her as.

Off topic: I was sad when the album cover wasn't purple but I remember in the color wheel, it was in the opposite side of orange, which is the color of the cover. GENIUS.

The opposite of purple is yellow.

My whole life's a lie!? I thought red and green, yellow and blue, and orange and purple were opposites.

Well guess what Mimi

So... I thought it was supposed to be on Apple Music already but there’s only LA Who Am I To Love You...

Am I missing something? The whole album won’t be available for streaming?

I don't think they will upload it to streaming. It was released like 2 days ago already so at this point, it''s safe to safe it won't be. Maybe in September when it gets released as a book if you'll still be hyped about it.
