HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL

some polaroids i did from some candids
 

 

 

I heard it on the radio at someone's house the other day as well - and it was at a party so it was hilarious I was just bopping in the corner by myself and no one else knew what song it was 

I will when i've had some coffee and can think lol.
She references alot of her movies
 
"hold me like a python" - from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
that's one lyric i can think of at the top of my head.
 
it was also very common in her movies for her to call her lovers "daddy" as well as her characters being obsessed with diamonds (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes) and money (How to Marry a Millionaire).
 
and we can't forget the Happy Birthday Mr President which was originally done by Marilyn.
 
Marilyn also played someone "insane" in Niagara and Don't Bother to Knock.
 
That's all I can think of at the top of my head.

I don't know if you guys ever realized that, but the Honeymoon instrumentals (and vocals) play a lot around the "time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future" theme (and some people here even say the Burnt Norton interlude is useless in the album, when, in fact, it's a major role in the understandment of the album themes) which I believe is a central role in the album and the thoughts Lana put in its creation.

 

Like, if you listen to "Music to Watch Boys to" you can hear, right in the beggining, that the chorus without instrumental goes forward, while, in the back sound, the echoes are played backwards.

 

We have this again in "High by the Beach" with the vocals being played going high and being repeated right after backwards and that goes throughout the entire song, everytime these "scream" (yawns? I don't know how to describe it) appear. The instrumental itself is also going forward and backwards sometimes.

 

Art Deco brings it again, with the trip beats in the beggining being played forward and backwards. The instrumental in Burnt Norton is essencially this. Played forward and backwards, forward and backwards, giving the feeling of an endless loop.

 

At the end or Religion the beats slow down to bring Salvatore, where the flutes are first going up and in a second beind played in reverse. 

 

And the best of all, right in the beggining you have the sound of a man crying compulsively, which is repeated a lot of times. The cry itself lenghts less than a second, but they repeat it like, 9 times, so it seems like a continously cry. At the end of the bridge, when the violins rise again (at the end of the piano part) you can see that the cry is now going up, like a laugh, 'cause they're playing it backwards. God, it's fu**ing amazing. This part is more notorious if you listen to the instrrumental isolated, you can find it in here: 
.
 

I listened some of the same pattern in the Swan Song instrumental, but right now I'm not remembering to tell you especifically. Overall, that's just shows how Lana is a fu**ing incredible artist, how everything is planned and she is really focused in materializing an idea, a thought, a belief in what she creates. It's simply overwhelming.

 

P.S.: I copied it from the "your fav instrumentals" thread 'cause I have never read someone discussing this before and I'd like for more people to know about it!

I love HBTB but it's definitely her weakest lead single. It's cute, but just not really exciting like the previous leads. 
If she could somehow combine the energy from Ride + West Coast with the beauty of Video Games for the lead single on LDR5... 
 
 

I turned the radio on twice today, and both times I heard After The Afterparty, on different mainstream channels. It's also number 14 on iTunes and is rising quickly!

If you have one of these or something or know of more titles, can you share please?

no, you were not the only one who suggested that the album was more important than the news, i didn't mean for you to take this directly. i am sorry if i attacked you directly.
 
she made the video/post earlier this year about how important it is to watch the debates, which i also thought, nice, she is showing us what she really thinks...
 
honestly i'm quite sensitive about it since so much of the media from the beginning has painted her as brainless, out of touch, spoiled, etc. and i feel a lot of that is steeped in misogyny (speculation, but that's how i feel about it anyway). so when she posts something like this, i just really "appreciate" it i guess lol? i'm glad she still shows us her mind despite being lambasted for her views in the past.

i'm glad she is showing the world she has a mind. if you seriously think her album is more important than the lives of those who were seriously affected by this undertaking, by the injustices that were being committed, and the decision of the administration to STAND BEHIND native people, seriously, rethink yourself...

saaaaaaameeee. Queen of communicating to her fans through an altered state of consciousness

I love HBTB but it's definitely her weakest lead single. It's cute, but just not really exciting like the previous leads. 
If she could somehow combine the energy from Ride + West Coast with the beauty of Video Games for the lead single on LDR5...
