Yes.

It's gonna take me a minute But I could get used to this The feeling of your fingertips The feeling of another kiss It's gonna take me a minute But I could get used to this Like every tattoo on your skin I'm memorizing every inch I could get used to this

it does not currently exist

To think she originally didn't want to release it at all and had to be talked into it

Notice how the entire top 5 is comprised of BTD and UV era songs. She really was so special back then (she is still good)

For me it's a lot better than shades of cool.

I'm surprised and happy PWYC made it so far. A dark horse!

The Blackest Day & Brooklyn Baby better make top 10.

Im happy to see others like riverside too. It's really calming and special.

It would sound great live for sure. All those sustained notes would be great to show off her vocals.

I thought Stargirl would make top 30. Who caused this!

Well it is pretty cute

If Life Is Beautiful was released I am pretty sure it would be her best song.

Groupie Love still has the best instrumental from lust for life and that's the tea.

The fact that beautiful people beautiful problems would be a good song if it was solo

Right? It's so beautiful even if the lyrics make no sense.

I'm sad to see White Mustang go. For me it was always a highlight of the record.

I think what sets AKA apart, is that unlike on all of her post BTD albums, she does not pretend to be rich or to have a glamorous life. The themes of everyday struggles and living a small life (what she probably experienced while being in the trailer park writing this record) are present. It is shown she struggles with money (Pawn Shop Blues, having a wedding dress that only cost 50 bucks, needing the help of older men to "make it", having fun in sleazy bars and gas stations instead of actual clubs). She is looking for things not yet achieved so there is a sense of hope as you said (particularly on Jump) and yet even in her life full of struggle, she has a sense of fun and wonder (Mermaid Motel, Queen of the Gas Station). There is also the more universal theme of relying on family for comfort on Gramma that is never present again in her music except for 2 lines in Ride. These are the kind of lyrics that are more close to the everyday life of a lot of people and that makes the whole thing feel more grounded and like it's a reflection of the real plain her, not the glamorous desperate queen she seems to be on songs like Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness. And then what brings this whole thing home is that you can feel that she is ALONE on Oh Say Can You See, she is walking home alone in the dark looking at the lights created by cars and for some reason she finds that beautiful....there is a separation between her and other people that shows up in her later works too (Old Money verses, God Knows I Tried, 13 beaches) which is an essential ingredient of that sadcore feel all of us love her so much for. So with all of that you are right, AKA sets such a different, subdued mood I don't know another record with this feeling in it. And that is why it's magical.

Guns and Roses being there is even worse now that we know what kind of masterpieces she scrapped from UV....Yes To Heaven, Fine China, Your Girl say hi

She really did THAT with Yayo. And she knows it, that is why she sang it on tour many years later. I will never get over it.

In 2019 she explicitly said she hopes to release it "next year" (2020) obviously as this example shows she is not always to be trusted but maybe we could get it by October. I don't think it's out of the question.

She also said she would sing California on tour and didn't in spite of her tour taking place in California Like what is that.

Imagine if this wasn't released tomorrow, like how Rihanna didn't release her new album in 2019 as promised. We stan frauds.

Hey guys! Can someone confirm if this is the most completed & full version of Lions tigers and bears? https://dbree.org/v/025e0c

Oh wow that lead is something else.
