#of greed or chasing an unreachable dream. nevertheless unable to break from this fate

[portokali]

incomplete list of artists i'm convinced are unwittingly eldritch horror writers, but the eldritch horror they write about is america:

f scott fitzgerald lana del rey

#important 2 factors for entering this list: a. artist writes a Lot about america as this one big all encompassing and -consuming entity #that takes shape beyond reason and about being/becoming american as an Identity somewhere close to one's own humanity or even transcending #t #to the point where it becomes something of a Signature style and particularly the tragic side of americana suchas being your own downfall b #of greed or chasing an unreachable dream. nevertheless unable to break from this fate #and b. artist does not appear aware of the horror/camp horror implications in that artistic choice and seems to be in 100% earnest abt it #talk.mp3 #ohh wait i just realized young and beautiful one of thee most known lana songs was written for gr8 gatsby the movie.. nice #also btw i dont like lana but i like her music better when i pretend she is pretending to be a siren/eldritch horror w an angelic (??) voic #luring young men to their deaths w promises of plenty and gold. etc
