sorry but this song its going to be some classic shit, that bridge and then the chorus and the outro 10/10 If it is not clicking for you I think that with the full album you will see the vision of the song

I don’t know if it was posted before, but user @ToLExpressTour (on Reddit) found the artwork reference. http:// so beautiful

Well, it’s been a very eventful day today! We received so much wonderful news regarding the upcoming album, and my spidey senses are already tingling that this will be one of her best yet. I cannot wait to see all that she still has in store for us. (& I also have a few things cooking up for you all too..) Time for me to sign off for the night, I’m exhausted after such a busy day! See you all tomorrow, sending all my love to all my lovely Lipsters xx

I had to run to catch my train yesterday and I was running during the build up at the end of the new song and it honestly felt like I was in a movie LMAO would recommend 10/10

Her legacy.

BOZ said one specific thing that hits double hard when its relatable.. to enjoy her newer music since 2021 we need to let old style lana go... thats just really true, and accept the literal growth of her vision and poetry to be able to say free that i enjoy it, this is what ive always felt the lack of since nfr, and im really happy i finally understanding it, so im very excited for this intimate autobiographical masterpiece to destroy me

like yeah it’s nothing groundbreaking for her but it’s classic lana, the production is better than most things on cocc and bb, the song doesn’t sound empty of muffled, has good lyrics, the production is grand and rich, you hear orchestra, you hear an electric guitar, there’s a bridge…and it’s only 1 song out of 16 like can some people stop whining already Every single sign points into a great direction this time and to something miles ahead of her last two records yet some people are STILL not happy bc iTs nOt uLtRaViOlEncE or trap

I’m currently at work and I catch myself singing “don’t forget me” part. Instant classic

when’s it gonna be my turn

Boz has said that many of the new songs are very long praying for a 7-8 minutes version of american whore

I’m so ready for my American Whore fuck me to death grindr std hook up robbery SERVE!!!!! This is really gunna be my era!!

This constant pressure on female musicians to keep delivering and reinventing themselves with each release is very telling. Lana already delivered a baroque hip-hop album, a 70s rock album, an orchestral, jazzy and trap hybrid, an album with an amalgamation of all of these sounds (LFL), an indie singer-songwriter album, a folk album and Blue Banisters (which I can’t really describe or put in one specific genre). What else do you want her to do? Have the same sonic approach or lyrical subjects she had 10 years ago? I keep running into comments such as “there is no growth” that always provide little to no explanation or substance to it and we’re supposed to not question them? I’m not even remotely interested in changing other people’s opinions, I’m just curious as to why blanket statements like these keep getting made.

So off topic but the memes I’ve seen on Twitter regarding this title are making me scream help

Lana still has the magic to create such cinematic songs. People here are too focused on the fact that it's similar to her past two albums, because it has a different emotion, there's a lot of instruments, and it builds up throughout the song. Lana has moved away from the typical pop song structures and now finds herself in small details, long verses, and making space for her poetry to shine. Even though she sings such "wordy" songs now, she devoted almost two minutes to harmonies with "don't forget me" and beautiful backing vocals. The 2nd part of the song also shows Lana's passion for making MUSIC and not just singing her verses with random noises in the background. Imo, this is her most cinematic song since Lust For Life, and this is how I imagined Lana would sound when she got older. Full of emotions, lyricism, and orchestras.

I found a website where you can virtually explore the tunnel and Lana's song is linked here 👀 https://craigsauer3d.com/3d-model/jergins-tunnel/

24 hours since Tunnel was released. We need a new song already.

I really thought we'd be getting the tracklist yesterday

some of the people on here are NEVER happy, with anything and that’s coming from me lmao let that sink in

ok this has probably been mentioned before but lana is referencing this movie in her cover: and i was wondering why would she do that, what is this movie about? well, here’s a description from google: In this film adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play, Alva is a radiant Southern belle who clashes with her oppressive mother, Hazel. Hazel is trying to force Alva to take an affluent husband, but the young woman has eyes for Owen Legate, a handsome city slicker visiting their tiny Mississippi town. Hazel disapproves of Owen and forces him to stop seeing her daughter. In an act of revenge, Alva takes up with her mother's beau, J.J. then here’s a rotten tomato review: Natalie Wood plays Alva Starr, the glamour queen of a local boarding house with a nymphomaniac mother who literarily pimps her daughter to draw more business. Regardless of the sordidness of her circumstances, Alva beautifies the grim facts of life with her girlish imaginations, expecting the father who deserted the family would return to her bosom someday. so we got mommy issues, daddy issues, dating mom’s boyfriend, glamour queen, and a boarding school…lizzy grant is here bitches. also, i feel like this is the inspiration for american whore. here are some pictures from the film: (these remind me of the alternate vinyl covers)

im far from worried about the pastor situation, its on the same album as a song called American whore and her begging to be fucked to death. its giving campy iconic tropico vibe interlude! Im excited

Not the pastor interlude already leaking

American Whore will be Venice Bitch slutty sister I can feel it

I have bad news for you bestie

Also I shouldn’t be embarrassed to admit this but I actually cried listening to the title track & I never do, much less with a song I don’t identify a ton with??? Maybe it’s just end-of-the-semester stress, but the song is just so raw. The vulnerability is palpable, and comparing herself to a forgotten tunnel in a world where millions feel they understand her is heartbreaking, really. It almost has an existential undertone like that of Landslide as well. It really goes to show how much she’s grown as an artist by being able to move people with fairly obscure, highly individualized life experiences in a—by many current literary standards—successful poetic fashion. I genuinely believe she’s making the music that fulfills her, and it’s really inspiring seeing how her old covers of tracks like Chelsea Hotel No. 2, Goodbye Kiss, etc. are reflected in her music today.

my serotonin levels are dropping again because yesterday was such a high and now I'm realizing we won't be hearing this album till march. I feel like she will maybe do one more single in the next month or two? But truly didnt yesterday feel like a dream? THOSE VISUALS. top in her career in my opinion. I was just getting used to picsart.

I actually like the song.. it’s like she had to let go of the strong woman ‘I’m your man’ and dive back into the ‘I’m nothing without you’.. I like that she’s letting her hair back down, you can tell she’s having a hard time being openly vulnerable again.. but she said fuck it.. I hear the melody from Old Money the ‘Ill run run run’ it has that reminiscent energy. You can tell it was written by the same waters that inspired Mariners.. it sounds like IYLDWM and LMLYLAW.. but it’s coming straight from the honest heart of Lana as a lost woman.. we are all lost, hell.. the choir in the back brings a lot of soul which I like.. it actually takes a lot for an artist to want to use somebody else’s voice/voices in their art.. you can tell she’s tired of doing it all on her own... she’s relied on friends and family in BB, she’s relied on lovers that have abandoned here, substance usage/addictions, a mother that probably neglected her..those issues are real.. you can tell she’s trying to see the light which is never easy and putting it all on display is very commendable ..

the first post i read on this thread today...

Me all day.

don't forget me 🚈 🏃‍♂️💨

The fact that people are also discussing and re-discovering the actual tunnel thanks to Lana is so beautiful. She's given new life to a hidden treasure that we won't forget now.

And some said she’s a flop The demand is demanding

BOZ using the word ‘chaotic’ as one of the descriptions for this album has me hyped. i hope she gets weird

I like that most teenagers and twinks that grew up listening to BTD are now adults and enjoy listening to BB and will enjoy the new album.

“many of the songs are gonna be very long” we all moved thank god

Maybe she just isn’t for you anymore. That’s ok.

idk bout yall, but this "metaphor" some of u guys see is so strange and weird

ok but let's talk about how neil, kaiman kazazian & whoever the graphic designer was SNAPPED on the visuals whew

FJM and Tommy Genesis being on the same album has the same energy as Sean Ono Lennon and A$AP Rocky being on the same album

This song is perfection....I-

Lana Del Rey, her brother Charlie Grant, her sister Chuck Grant, and her niece Phoenix visited Santa Claus to share their Christmas wishes.

I feel like we don't talk enough about the delivery of the line "Leanin' in my back, whisperin' in my ear, 'Come on baby you can thrive' but I can't" INSTANT REPLAY

FINALLY some LFL title track praise. That song is stunning. The doowop background vocals. The drums, bells, synths and sound effects (yes, even the whale/wolf) all come together to make an amazing landscape of music. Her description of "retro futuristic" is SPOT ON. And I've never heard anyone else come even slightly close to what she accomplished there. One of my biggest wishes over the last few years is that she give us another accomplishment of sound like that. And I have to say, COCC title track, And now Ocean Boulevard have joined the ranks. The instruments twinkle and swirl around you like a mini tornado of emotions. Voices whispering to you. Thoughts, wishes, little prayers and manifestations. All guiding you towards the hope for a better tomorrow. One where you love yourself, and have those you love at your side to keep you afloat when it all seems too much to bear.

That’s what I love most about her, she is always trying to grow FOR HERSELF. It’s not about “reinvention” (an arbitrary and selfish demand the media places on artists so therefore the GP does too). Lana’s writing is the North Star of her art—it’s no longer the grand sound her label pushed for, it’s her imagery, her iconography, the geography, and her life story—which was all on even BTD, hidden underneath expensive and precise production. I think what she thinks about most is how she can evolve as a writer, which is a personal decision that often has nothing to do with a pre-set sound or even aesthetic. She’s made it clear she always follows her muse—the genuine inspiration that comes to her while she’s driving or drinking her coffee, or at some gardening store (God knows where)! That is such a gift and she always honors it and follows it. I think a lot about the Interview Magazine interview where she said she knows where she needs to go as a writer, but it’s going to take a lot of work and isolation, maybe even classes. Who else out there is even talking about that? She’s just on another plane to me, and it’s truly inspiring. For her to wade into AUTOMATIC SINGING (?!) and trust in herself enough to put those works on the album show a genuineness, vulnerability—even an imperfectness to her art (first takes, voice memos, voice breaks, etc.) that is extremely rare in manufactured music these days. Yet she still holds acclaim as one of the greatest artists of our generation. Literally her raw cuts and demos could outperform full studio records from most of the biggest artists today. She’s in a league of her own!!!

Not me.

i'll never understand why people are kinda obsessed w her streaming figs. i mean maybe if u were a lana fan from yesterday, and as talented as she is, she's never really cared about all that stuff so why's she gonna do it now? it just doesn't seem her style

I feel like this album is going to be big (NFR big). Already it's had way more promo and attention than BB, and I think has been received in a more positive manner than COCC did (I think because COCC came after the controversy). IDK I think she's back on track to making BIG albums again, because I think the last 2 were enjoyed by fans and fans only.

maybe im just high and yes everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but all im gonna say is if you got the ears for lana then u kno and the girls who get it get it thanks
