I get what you mean in the sense that this is her first "big" album since then but I also think everything that's come since NFR are important stepping stones to reach this album, I don't think Lana was ready to explore some of the stories that she's telling now. Violet came first and was her first foray into more experimental performance, and then Chemtrails allowed her to wander the countryside aimlessly as she tried to figure out what comes next, and then Blue Banisters had her start digging into her family history. I think all of those experiences were really important for her to reach the point where she can explore her family and her life as a whole in the really theatrical and incisive way we seem to be getting on this album.

Right? The melody is gorgeous

Lmao I love her

I can see why some people wish the song was grander but I think the album will be big enough that it will make sense why she started it this way, she's going to be all over the map on this album and exploring some really heavy topics so it's really interesting that she starts things off in such a soothing and affirming way. I can't wait to hear how it all comes together

The Grants has such a touching message, that's what makes the song so special

lol at this point people love to embarrass themselves and then get mad at us for it. Anyways, ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGHHHHH

What a genuinely awful and uncalled for comment, time for you to go

Omg single digits or less tomorrow

This album is going to be such an amazing mix of devastating and euphoric

At least we got the explanation for the intro

Knees weak arms are heavy

We're all here because we love and respect Lana, so I don't think it's too much to expect people here to speak respectfully about her and her art, whether or not they like it. There are many users who don't like what she's doing yet are still able to express that without resorting to childish rude takes. To each their own though...

I'm only going to say this once more because some of you still don't seem to grasp it, but the issue is not people disliking Lana's current music. For me, what I won't agree with is the flat-out rude and immature ways some of you describe music of hers that you don't like. It's really not complicated, grow up and get it.

Lol I'm not attacking or bullying you, but if you can't dislike a song where she's clearly poured her heart and soul into it without using childish insults to describe it, then you're being the problem. Anyways stream The Grants in 2 hours

How do some people still not understand that Lana doesn't care about "potential listeners" who use words like "snoozefest" or "flop" to describe masterpieces like Fingertips That's not to say she won't still release a bop because she clearly will on this album, but it couldn't be more obvious that her priorities are not attracting the top 40 crowd. As Jack mentioned in the Rolling Stone article: “She’s reached a point in her work, which is really my favourite place to work from, where there’s nowhere to go but way out into the fucking wilderness artistically. Go chase radio? That’d be so stupid. Go chase trends? So stupid. She created all the trends. It’s a freeing place, if you can accept it. The only place to go is to be a leader.”

I love that Lana doesn't care about the locals

The Grants

Not to be dramatic but
