Yes thank you for sharing! I wanted to update, but my laptop is broken and on phone it is a bit tricky to make a great post about it.

I love this song, I am listening to nothing else but this atm. Next week she will release another single. Idk if it is officially confirmed, but it will be called 'Venice Bitch'

Also, Lana confirmed working on a new album which will be released in 2019. These two singles will be included.
I am so happy. I noticed it has already been a year ago since she released Lust for Life. It feels so recent.

Little fun detail about the video: it has been shot by Lanas younger sister Chuck. She is pretty good at taking photograps (cover of Lust for Life album, High By The Beach single) and turns out cinematography is also one of her talents.
Some people on instagram speculate that the video was originally meant for 'Happiness is a Butterfly', some unofficial demo she put in one of her instagram posts.
They think this obviously because of the butterflies, and they claim you could see the actresses and Lana mouth the lyrics.
Personally, I haven't noticed it.

Oh yeah one more thing. Sorry, it is the excitement that keeps me talking. Mariners Apartment Complex seems to be written after a real event. She tells about a boyfriend who said, when staying at one of her favorite accomodations, he thought they would fit together perfectly because they were both very sad (You took my sadness out of context). The relationship did not last. This song resembles her feelings towards the breakup. No wonder why it feels so personal.
It has got those early Lizzy Grant vibes, in which she really put her purest emotions into her music.

I shall look for the sourch of the meaning behind the song. I am not sure if I tell the story well. There is also a radio interview but I haven't listened to that yet.
