    *"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.

    In Kintsugi, when she sings "In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth/The depth that the chest cavity takes," is she talking about the way the actual body looks as someone dies? When I first heard the song I didn't fully know what she meant but when you consider the rest of the song I can't help but think this is what she's referring to. I've seen a lot of the reaction videos confused about this particular part.


    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.

    when did lana say fingertips isn’t a good song? i remember she said the voice memos were unlistenable and rough, but did she say anything bad about the final? i thought she liked it

    When I started writing it was very esoteric, but the people I was writing with were really straight edge so it became more poppy. Then when I met Justin Parker I got to sink back into thinking about each day and the minutia [she says this slowly to a back-and-forth rhythm] swinging in the backyard / pull up in your fast car / whistling my name. Stuff that wasn’t esoteric but it was certainly more a ‘day in the life’ motif. And then now where I’m at, it’s just all the thoughts I’ve ever had in my head from the beginning that I can remember until now, like in a song called ‘Fingertips’. That would be my song that would be my least favourite song I’d ever want to talk about…
     

    Where I’m at now, if I’m lucky enough to get the impulse where a song comes at all, it might be once a year, in its entirety, I’ll just sing it into my voice-notes and I’ll send it to Drew Erickson who’s an absolute living legend in Echo Park. He does the orchestration for Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, Jonathan Wilson, a couple of other people and he sent me back my own voice-note with all of my pauses and breaths taken out. Every now and then when that happens, you’ll think to yourself, ‘I got it.’ I got it!
     

    ‘Fingertips’ is not a good song or a big song but it definitely explains everything. I felt like that was important because everyone was always like [whispers] explain yourself. And I was like, ‘Okay, let me do this really quickly, I’ll tell you everything I’m thinking in two minutes in a seven minute song and just rip through it and edit it.’ That song kind of says it all. Between that song and ‘Wildflower Wildfire’ on Blue Banisters, you can get a lot [whispers and laughs] of everything.

    But honestly, I love the free-verse nature of the song. Stream of consciousness songs also have their place in music.

    Kintsugi said the surprise was new music right? So.. where and when is it coming :xcry:


    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.

    LMAO! THIS RESPONSE... :lmao:

     

    And, yes, definitely evident that the poster is high af.  Love it :D

    I have a brand, and it's getting really high and considering lyrics and stylistic choices from an abstract perspective.

    I have gotten more sane since Tropico, but I'm true to my craft. I come back because I appreciate that Lana's music creates conversations like this.

    I admire the ambition of this reach 🥹


    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".

    Caroliiiiiiine, what kind of ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ was she to say I'd end up in institutions?

    not actually rly digging this creative choice ngl but it’s not my business:thumb:

     


    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?

    The only "criticism" I have is the execution of that mother line in Fingertips. I can still hear it, but barely. Just seemed needless to censor and oddly paced in the attempt, but it doesn't take away anything for me, really. Here's to hoping the uncensored version leaks in lossless eventually.



    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.

    don't give too much to Fantano, he did speak reasonably positively about "the Grants" today, but again not without a condescending undertone saying "by Lana standards". :wtf:


    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.

    some of y’all need to wake up and go outside. we just got a beautiful new track and all that some of you can think about is this “surprise” that we don’t even know anything about. let’s remember what we’re here for. the music she chooses to share with us should always be most important and at the forefront of the conversation.


    This, people give Bozziepoo and the Blahblah Crew too much power over them. Just enjoy the music and let these hacks fizzle out already.
