When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing

[Beautiful Loser 45,992]

What does "cut a rug" even mean? I've never heard that expression before.

It just means dancing

It was more popular a few decades ago

They never taught me the cool expressions in school.

Thanks! ^^

i think this song would flow better if lana started the "no its only the beginning/when the world was at war" part at the second chorus as opposed to the first

[wraith 7,276]

this song is so smart. my intelligent fave.

[softdecay 539]

Best song in the record hands down

 

I hear everything but "told by the frightened" tho

[Slumdog 817]

One of her best songs and lyrics.

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,014]

The lyric is “told by the fake news”, she sang it live

[Gone user 5,368]

imo the "dizzy from loving you" part is so random that it ruins the vibe of the song

[Lad 8,795]

Lana did not say fake news. I'm pretty sure its Fuehrer, which makes much more sense. Told by the fake news.. LOL

Well guess what Mimi she did

I hope this gets a video and it's like

 

God Bless America / When The World Was At War We Kept Dancing (Double Feature)

 

BECAUSE!!!! The songs flow perfectly into each other (purposely) AND can you just imagine the visuals these would get....WOW.

Like the dancers would have a cute dance to the pre-chorus and lana would be singing at a microphone and then for GBA she'd be walking
through like city streets and more and more women appear next to her each time we see the scene and then in the other ones it would be like women

doing cool shit and having fun and maybe that would even get a little cute dance and then a scene of lana saluting to the camera and winking like Love..

WOW

I've always imagined GBA video taking on the one take style like HBTB. It starts with Lana in her apartment, and then she hears the womens march from outside, she gets on the fire escape to hear more, and finally climbs down to join them. Something like that would be awesome.

either way they deserve a double feature

I always imagined these videos with Lana as the statue of liberty looking out at America

 

 

either way do something Lana

Ok. why the fuck did I think it said "cut her up"

[FredRed 4,498]

I was so pleased she did this. My favorite from LFL and I was sure she wouldn't do it live but I will see it next Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!

ace is never incorrect. his former post was method acting

[lernerderrey 2,379]

i honestly dont think "fake news" is in the recorded version... i think she sang that last night cuz she brought up his twitter? the album version is too muted tho, hard to tell.

the dizzy from loving you is probably the best part of the song cuz she's dizzy from loving a country she thought she understood.

also... "before" and "just" are filler words and they really kill the chorus for me. i am not a fan of the "political" songs on this album, but this is probably the one i like the most... when the chorus hits, she could have easily have said "when the world was at war, we kept dancing" and i would have been O K with this.

Just saw this on the YouTube. Well done.
