    i feel like thats Honeymoon weather   :oprah3:

    I can see that definitely, but for me that's more of when there's still a breeze blowing on its own, and there's foliage rustling when I look up. Still hot, but more of how it makes you lazy and just want to lounge around. It's more domesticating.

     

    I'd be comfortable sweating all the way to dizziness, that kinda heat, that lust for freedom

     

    I know you'll have fun tho either way, so hope u bring some cool drinks and some friends on your way to the beach if or when that all happens  :justride2:

    I like Blue Jeans very much but I only listen to live versions (especially in 2011)..For some reason I can't stand the studio version anymore

    I am very curious to know if you feel the same after listening to the full songs

    This felt like ages ago, so I'll take the question as a compliment. I like it so much now. I have to admit, the verses still seem very ominous to me, and is more of a particular taste, but it ties well with everything else. So there's that. Change is a beautiful song, and I like how solemn it is, but I can't imagine myself singing the verses alone for a while

    When I first heard the Instagram snippets she shared, I didn't really like what I heard because she sounded... I dunno, as if she didn't care? I heard no enthusiasm in her voice, and it's a bit the same in the recorded version in the album.

     

    The piano chords in the beginning is ok, they match the melancholy in the lyrics ("lying in my bed is a bummer cause I didn't call when I got your number, I liked you a lot..."). But I'm really not liking the "everybody said you're a killer", it sounds too imaginative and forced on this album which is based a lot on her life and thoughts today. It might have sounded well in Born To Die with all her gangster fantasies, but here... it feels/sounds off to me.

    And I don't like the chorus at all. I don't like the repetitive words because, once again, I hear no energy in it. It's a different thing in "God Knows I Tried" or "Sad Girl" because you can really hear her sorrow in it. But here... nope. I don't know if it's supposed to sound as if she's numb and just can't get out of the feeling of missing the chance to be with him, but it doesn't sound good (in my ears) in this song. She sounds the same almost throughout the whole song.

     

    But it's not only Lana's way to sing it, I would like it if the instrumentals changed a little for the second verse and then a bit more for the second chorus (but I don't know how so I might just sound as a whiny fan now lol). I appreciate the wavy sounds that can be heard in "Radio", "Million Dollar Man" and "This is what makes us girls". You can hear them if you listen carefully I think, unless I hear it in my imagination. :creep:

     

    So, well, White Mustang isn't my favorite on this album. I hoped it would sound better than what I heard on Instagram, but so far I haven't fallen in love with it yet.

    I think I know what you mean. But I guess each person's opinion is different so it's all cool.

     

    Like for me, yeah White Mustang sort of takes a different direction in tone, but I think it's all supposed to be that way. It's already set in the verses of the track, that it's in the past, and I think she's just looking back at something that used to be so special to her. But now, even if she's still fond of what it was that made her feel a certain way, she knows that she can't change it, so she just takes it for what it was. That's why it's more subtle, underlying and less dramatic. There's a lot of emotion to be found within and without the narrative that kinda cradles you, making you think of what it was that she danced in situationally, but still ultimately left from.

     

    That kind of warm nostalgia just makes me want to sway around to it. It stops time in more ways than one

    Yesss, White Mustang really works as a short song tbh, which makes me wonder if the video will be as short...

    I know, a bit concerned for that too. I hope we get an intro or a fuller backstory to it. But I guess it just depends, we do both know that the music's gonna be good, so there's always that

    I actually like how Cherry turned out, profanity and all. I have backstories that I sometimes match to each bitch and fook. White Mustang is only 3 minutes, but if it went any longer, I feel it would've ruined it. It's perfect for me

    It wasn't just someone, Rick Nowels himself said it in a Pitchfork interview. :) Actually I'm glad we got this stripped down version of the song – there are 15 other songs on the record with beats etc. so having one song without any further instrumentation and production is a gift imho.

    Oh yeah no definitely, it stands out from the rest because of this. 

     

    I just wonder how strings and some vocal layering would amplify it.

    It's a treasure as it is and it turned out real well for and on the record. But just imagine it, the sound  :byeh8rs:

    Words are supposed to be bridges dammit. Discuss it somewhere else while listening to Change preferably

    Actually, now that I think about it. Driving home from school today, I was listening to Change and remembered how someone mentioned it was the last written song on the record. So production for it, was just her vocals with piano. Imagine how amazing it'd sound if it had strings and a beat.

    I love how solemn the tracks sounds, but just imagine it. Wow
