Creyk

this is making me rethink my previous comment -- i don't think the relationship in this song is as happy and stable as i thought before. i kind of overlooked the whole "you're the boss" thing. it really does sound regretful when she says it at the end. if it weren't for that one line, this song would seem more like a carefree and happy love song. the way she sings "because you're the boss" at the very end makes me feel like it's almost a cry for help, like everyone thinks they're so happy and in love but secretly she wants out. i could be overthinking it like maybe it is just a line but that's what i was kind of getting from it after listening again.

I like this song of the week idea! So cool to discuss some great songs individually.
I think OOW has a great intro and outro, her tone in the last moments, when she says: "You told me not to worry, because you're the boss" just sounds so fragile and regretful, as if she really messed something up. That part reminds me of Your Band Is All The Rage, because she does that in that song too, when she goes like: I love youuu.....it's so beautiful and sad at the same time.
 
I once listened to this while on the bus and it was raining outside and it was all so sad and calm a true sadcore moment.  
This is one of her songs which is great for setting a calm mood, like Yayo or Oh Say Can You See, and Black Beauty

at least Taylor knows how to write genius lyrics. like really, she has her own unique style. (yes, I'm a Taylor defender  )

Uhmm, what are you talking about?
We are all attractive people over here

So there IS American culture after all ...ever since that random debate I had my doubts 

He should get a great parent award for producing such a jewel as Lana.
I mean I know they sent her away into that school but still in the end we got our Queen!

That is disgusting. You are disgusting.
 
 
 

Unpopular opinions here:
 
I HATE SIRENS *borefest*
I enjoy the production on Born to Die and have nothing against Emile being on Ultraviolence. Quite frankly, I hope he produces most of the songs there. 

So nice of you to already reveal the banner for my top song :flutter:
It looks fab

'Everytime I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side.'
 
Everytime when I listen to 'Dark Paradise', it reminds me of my 2nd fav singer Roy Orbison who died in '88 and his songs had that kinda poetry - I never got the chance to see him live, but I hope 'on the other side' one day.
 

Lol how we get info from all these random people
Kind of exciting.
I'm sure he only helped Lana with some lines though.
Just remember, Lana is more of a writer than a singer, as she said. She must be really good at it. And it's not wrong to get some help sometimes, if it gets us awesome songs like AFFA. Just please, make sure he did not write the bridge....

If she falls a little I'm sure she'll get a better team around herself so in about half a year she will do well again

Good find then
You have an interesting way of spending your downtime btw. I just look at funny things and

IF that was a title, it would give me OTTR teas tbh

Rhenna does have her own style and cool looks, they just chose a weird picture here

I made a playlist called "TROPICO". It's basically an extended version of the Paradise EP, but it follows the theme of Tropico (Loss and regain of innocence) and it flows very, very well. You should give it a try!

Eventhough TVIB&W and You & Me are not Paradise outtakes they go along along with the other album tracks fairly well, especially the latter one. I added TVIB&W as a "bonus track" cause some of you might disagree with my inclusion of it. Bel Air is the perfect album ender, but I think TV adds a little more meaning to it as well. It's kind of like a Thank You to "THAT GUY" saying: "I know you've been a bad guy, I love you you anyway, thanks for making me who I am today." , you know? You might have to cut the first ten seconds of silence at the beginning of Starry Eyed and the last 6 seconds of silence at the end of Burning Desire to make it flow better.

The more they talk about her the better, let Lana be a part of their mind, haunting them like she is haunted by K every time she closes her eyes (cuz you know, it's like a dark paradise :come2: )

LoL, this is actually really well-thought out

Just like this thread is the new TROPICO thread.
