Shout out cancers. But I'm done gatekeeping this quote from her. We can share this one. The most important thing she's ever said to me was the most glamorous thing you can do is have a real life. And I've taken that quote and I've internalized it, but I think... What makes her so cool and what makes her visuals and ethos and everything so strong is it's real for her All of this is real.

None of this is a fantasy like even if she's you know romanticizing or being dramatic with certain things or like referencing things that aren't hers or creating perspectives from other people. Like at the end of the day, her life is her real life and she's going to create art through it. And so there's this high level glamour that comes from just like, I'm me and I'm a girl.

And yes, I am like Lana Del Rey, but like, I like boys and love and I want to be in love. And like, who doesn't want that?

And she does that so, so, so well, where it's like, you could say, okay, here's a leaf, like write about it. And she would make the most heart-wrenching poetry about this leaf, right? Because ultimately I think a lot of artists are artists and Lana is a poet. And first and foremost, she's always been a poet.

She's not sitting in there like, okay, we have a songwriting session today, right? We're going to write Sports Car, amazing song. But it's her poetry throughout her life that she's writing, recording little audio notes of and like, you know, collecting it. It's raw. It's real. Like a lot of her music is voice notes too.

I know a lot of people who have, you know, their, their vinyls up as art. And I think it's cool for me. The only way I've taken that is like, I like, I think it's beautiful to listen to your music and like, I love listening to vinyl, but if there's ever something where I want it on display or I want to protect the integrity of it, I will buy two of each.

You know, like, um, for example, not to bring her up again, but like the Lana boob vinyl, right. I'm listening to ocean Boulevard on my standard ocean Boulevard vinyl boob vinyl, never getting opened, but I'm also not displaying it. So I think it's interesting. Like for me, it's, it is art.
