"How do my blood relatives know all of this songs
 
I dont know anyone left to know the songs that I sing,
 
and that's how the light gets in."
 
Peak lyricism. This song gets more and more beautiful everytime I listen to it.

The beginning instrumental on the Judah smith interlude before he starts fucking talking 

Okay the thing is I didnt care for Paris Texas the first time listening to the album. But it slowly but surely definitelu grew on me & now its in my top 3 most favourite of the album . This record ages like fine wime the more you listen to it istg my top 3 is literally in constant rotation. I CAN'T CHOOSE WHAT'S THE BEST 

just another example of lana making music just for the sake of making music and art instead of just doing what's mainstream and what will "sell"  a true artist

"Think by the third of March, I was cracked open
Finally, the ground was cold, they wouldn't open
Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me
There's a name for it in japanese, it's kintsugi"
 
what a beautiful way to represent the healing of her grief, tying in with the kintsugi concept, allowing herself to break so that the cracks in her spirit can heal with gold  

Another day of listening to Kintsugi ugh masterpiece alert.

I just want to put my 2 cents in about the quietness/muffled sound of the album. This is because Lana has gradually stopped competing in what’s called “the loudness war” in music, which is where pop music is made to be as loud as possible without distorting. This is great for streaming and shopping mall speakers and stuff because any song from any musician can play in sequence and it will all be at the same volume. Here you can see the waveforms of Born To Die, Norman, Candy Necklace and Say So by Doja Cat. See how Say So is just a solid bar of black? If Candy Necklace wanted to explode into a loud outro, it could, but Say So is entirely a loud explosion and can’t go anywhere else. It also means that in the context of an album, if Lana wants one song to get louder than all the rest as part of the emotional trajectory of the album (Grandfather), she is able to do that. In comparison to any given pop music right now, Lana’s will sound quiet and muffled because it hasn’t had the Father, the Son AND the Holy Spirit compressed and EQ’d out of it  
 

the way some people cannot wrap their head around the fact that their favorite artist is not a circus animal designed to dance and perform for them 24/7 to "keep them entertained" is truly something
 
i am so glad she does not listen to her "fans". some of them are truly her biggest enemies truly.

i think i'm gonna get the boob vinyl. idk if i'll open it or not but i know i'll regret it if i don't buy it. i just love it so much. maybe its bc i'm breastfeeding but it gives off such a motherly vibe to me. but then once i get that i'll have 4 variants (standard, amazon, indie, boob) which i know is still less than a lot of other people got but its a lot for me!

I wake up every morning with Fingertips stuck in my head  Right now I'm enchanted by these lines:
 
It wasn't my idea the cocktail of things that twist neurons inside
But without them, I'd die
They say there's irony in the music, it's a traaAagedy
I see nothing Greek in it
Give me a mausoleum in Rhode Island with Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and Dave
Who hung himself real high
In the National Park sky
It's a shame and I'm cryyying right now
To get to you, save you if I take my life
Find your astral body... put it into my arms
 

Yesterday, Lana Del Rey visited Moona Star in Topanga, California and took a selfie modeling their Stevie Top and OVO jewelry set by AVILLA.
 

just because the lyrics are simple don't they make them bad lmfao

this pic would be a serve as cover ngl

There's definitely some nostalgia factor with unreleased tracks that causes them to get praised disproportionately. I've seen someone claim that Earthquakes is better than A&W. If it was the other way around and Lana would have released Earthquakes and A&W was the unreleased one then this forum would have a meltdown about how Lana is always "stripping back" her instrumentals.

people complain that the album is not like her old music
people complain that the album didn’t include anything new

can't believe fishtail is hated   
that autotune and the production is what makes it enjoyable for me, call me worst taste at the lipsters idc 

I see some of y’all still displaying copious amounts of tasteless copy-paste one liners about how Kintsugi and/or Fingertips are boring and should have stayed as poems - as if Lana’s writing hasn’t at least since 2017 been merging the two art forms consistently. Between this and the anti-piano brigade… it’s a tragedy. I see nothing Greek in it 

I finally got a photo of my vinyls and CDs
 

Literally just finished listening to Kintsugi and it had me tearing up. Also, those ending piano notes are so gorgeous. Perfect way to end the song.

Just another folk song, but anyway
I try so hard, but that's okay
It's how the light gets in
 

i can't believe i'm saying this but this is lowkey her best album... like fr
norman was like something made to love and this one is MUCH heavier but... it's so fucking good and risky and lyrically she's fucking killing it 
every time i'm listening to it i'm having new fav tracks and i'm finding something new i love about her vocals, production and lyrics
 
AND the way so many people (including me obv) were starting this album being unsure about if it's good or not and over next few days i'm seeing so many of them changing their minds like  i just feel like this album is out of its world
 
it's not an everyday album like norman was for sure but this is actually kinda why it's even better... if you know you KNOW

Why does this read as a 2012 comment on one of her vids on YouTube

naur the melody is so catchy. truly a superior song

because some people put effort in being offended lately, it's like they're constantly looking for shit to be angry about 

If anyone can get away with being a pick me girl, it's her though. She IS a different kind of woman. I never understood why people get so bended over someone saying they feel different. But it is true that basic b#tches wouldn't understand.
