*"Yes to Heaven" speculated to release after being leaked and distributed over six years in different variations* Bozziepoo's Crew: "OMG THE SURPRISE IS HERE?" Cherry Blossom, Living Legend, Thunder, Black Beauty, and Nectar of the Gods: "Okay, yeah, sure, this one's totally different from us. :)" Serial Killer's Live Performance History: "Omg wow never ever happened ever." Bozziepoo: "They don't know the surprise was my signing off." Y'all, just let it go LMAO. They got you talking about the surprise like it's the rapture. First it was the listening party announcement, then it was the pop-ups, then it was the Candy Necklace visualizer, now it's this song. It's getting silly now. Let it give up the ghost and just be excited for whatever's coming next. Anyway, an official release would be exciting for YTH, along with half her unreleased library.

I heard it like this: "The turn of the mouth," smiling despite loss, or even forcing it through the formality of funeral services when engaging with the people who come to pay respects to the dead. "The depth that the chest cavity takes" alluding to the way a loved one takes a tremendous piece of us and our love with them when they pass. I interpreted that couplet to be about the impact of grief and how we navigate through it.

We have to wait for her to vaguely mention a project concept in an interview, and then someone that smelled her shampoo in an LA coffee-shop or held a tissue she spit her gum in will come forward as the next insider that just "knows things they can't tell you how but something's coming." Don't worry, it'll happen very soon babes.

Anyone who's really surprised Lana's expressed folk inclinations in her music has slept on her early acoustic shit. It really isn't that shocking when you know "Your Band is All the Rage" and "All Smiles" exist. She's literally from Lake Placid, but if you ask a Reddit Lana stan where that is, they'll think it's a fucking puddle in Grand Central Park. ANYWAY that's my rant-no-one-asked-for. Just a weird peeve I have as a New Yorker with Upstate roots seeing people just mind-blown that a girl from the Adirondacks is folk at heart. Like come on, y'all.

Haven't had a Lana Astrology game work for me since UV, ayeee.

Hell, I'm not even holding onto the idea for dear life, but it's more sound in intention than suddenly "Lana needs to play nice with Patty". But hey, it's LanaBoards, it's all reaching here. You weren't here for when Doijroij happened on this site. THAT was a reach of mine. Inb4 we get a post-release insider with "the answer".

Some people were like "Oh maybe she needed to dial back on the mom shade," which tbh just sounds silly. But I just had a thought - because they just took out the main vocal (which is why you can still hear "mother" in the underlying harmony beneath the instrumental,) there's honestly a chance that the "censoring" of the word is rather...how do I explain this. Basically the question answers itself because Lana's saying, no, that wasn't a mother at all. Why even humor the idea that a mother would be the person Lana's mother was to her? Why call her a mother in any way? I don't know. It's 4 A.M., I'm high. I wish we had the original, BUT for some reason, thinking of it like that... I get it?

There's a lot I want to say, but I also come up short finding the right words. I feel selfish and lucky to live in the exact pocket of the universe that allows me to experience, shift, grow, and heal with this moment. Despite all the polarization surrounding this album and the one before, I've gotten everything I wanted and more. I love this more than I already knew I would.

Fantano's grating af to me tbh, and that's beyond just the Lana reviews. But that's also just me, I don't really care for how a lot of music reviews are the subjective experience being presented as the objective takeaway for others to follow. It's great to see when high-profile music journals and reviewers *do* receive a new album well, and I get the exposure aspect. I also think it's great to recognize how the same piece of work is received differently (it's one of the things that make art art.) But I don't get consumed by the numbers, or really give it any thought when people repeatedly review the same artist's work while making it clear that their expectations are low out of personal bias. It's all a popularity contest, and the people judging the contestants all have their own tastes, many of them in accordance to what is the hot trend. It's all meaningless to the end game of the music. Pop culture just conditioned everyone to put too much focus on these things. I'm looking forward to reading little bits here and there, but I'm most looking forward to my first listen and walking through an album that may or may not be exactly what I needed to hear at this moment in my life.

The Surprise 2023 had the cultural impact of Tropico 2013 with zero delivery. It's honestly the most epic and comedic power-move pulled by the "insiders" of this era, above all other eras. I love seeing this fanbase go batshit over nothing. God, I love this place. It’s a beautiful life, remember that too for me~
