Script Interview LDR and TS
1- What means midnights for both of you and how do you manage the
wave of criticisms as the creator?
TS: Well Midnights means the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout all
my life, the floors we pace and the demons we face hoping that just maybe when the
clock strikes twelve we’ll meet ourselves and what it comes with critics I am informed
and
I know that it is no secret to anyone that the public points out something terrible about
some album that I release, that this one felt monotonous, boring and too pop and well I
know that I can't keep everyone happy so I try to keep the crowd happy of people who
know how to appreciate and enjoy art and the things that inspire me and know how to
notice my wit and the effort I put in and above all because I had a lot of fun doing it and
that is worth a lot that is the only thing that matters to me.
LDR: To me midnights means that are sweeter dreams than nightmares, their words
act as a protective shield around your life and your most intimate relationships, nights
where the past approaches the present and you begin to remember, forget and think
about situations that come back to life to haunt you and where you become more
vulnerable in the middle of the night and where you seem to understand who you were
supposed to be to know who you are.
FS: That is a very interesting concept and a valuable message and coming to your
collaboration, who it truly feels like snow falling in the warmth of your heart I wonder
since their release…
3- Was there a problem that prevented Lana from taking center stage in
the song?
LDR: Actually it was, I assumed a few things so it was my bad because the thing is
while we were recording and writing the song Jack and Taylor asked me to sing a
verse but I refuse because I believed I wasn’t the only invited artist so I focused myself
on improving the production and I was totally fine with it so “Snow on the beach” came
out as we know it.
TS: Yeah, It would’ve been an honor to me for Lana to have the spotlight trough great
part of the song but I respect her decision and we left a lot to be desired at the
premiere of this long awaited song even tough we are planning to fix things up and
making it better. She’s a very talented woman who I admire the most and I’ll be grateful
to her for collaborating on my new album.
FS: I must recognize you Lana that your latest album Dykttatutb is deeply different from
your other works, it’s realistic, personal and delicately raw with a clever concept and
excellent songwriting, Although some people complain about how much you have
changed with your music and you lost your magic touch that you used to put on your
songs so…
4- What do you think about your development as an artist and the evolution
of your music throughout the years?
LDR: I think that when you are growing, time moves forward and with that you move
forward with time. you collect experiences, you learn, you lose, you realize, you get
lost, you motivate yourself and you fall again but after each thing you change, my
albums are reflections of the person who at some point of my life represented me,
someone who knew little or a lot but I will not be the same person who I was in my 21
years.
The evolution in my music changes style because I change with my art and experiment
and I decide to keep the most real part of me because it is the truth and I love writing
about my authenticity, even if it is more beautiful or sad than it sounds, even when it’s
not likeable for the media or dangerous for my fame, it is what I feel and it is what I
sing.
FS: It’s really fair for you and I hope that you prioritize your happiness since now. Just
like me, many fans are waiting for Lana to take over the stage for a moment on the
eras tour to maybe do a live performance together so…
5- Are you planning something or is it any possibility to go together on live
and stage?
TS: I am good at keeping this kind of surprises or secrets but I think I will break my vow
of secrecy but we actually agree on perform together as well, I was really excited about
it and It would be such a pleasure to have her singing with me and on her own.
LDR: It feels good when you let it out I wanted to announce this but I couldn’t and I
love taylor’s audience on her concerts and I think I am going to have a warmth
welcoming but still the date is a surprise so I could appear everywhere or nowhere.
FS: I am glad to hear that since the release of the song, everybody expected your
performance together as the greatest entrance now it’s finally confirmed. I wanted to
thank you both of your to take your time and meet up with me it’s been an interesting
talk and I hope the best for both of you and I send you my love and admiration.
