Make me your Dream Life

Feelin hella rare!

wait hold on I loved the album at first listen tf

u wanted us sadder!

there's a name for it in Japanese, it's Kintsugi

jimmy jimmy co co bop ~ jimmy jimmy ride ~ jimmy only luv me when he wanna get high ~ *

I say I live in Rosemead really I'm at the Ramada!

and that's why they call her Lanita!

when u know, u know!

well, i'm glad that it's a good one! I actually wasn't focusing on too much about it when she ref'd it, but I like the way that you put it, and for me, how I think about it is it might also be a euphemism about the tunnel, pathways and movement, but more so in her case, perhaps even effort and how doing all u can and just letting go, kinda similar to ride's monologue where she mentions wanting everything, to losing it, is a great form of freedom. i've been subconsciously connecting how this album relates to the others, something that i just like to do, but especially w this record being so spirited, it feels like a lot of culminations of different cycles, and it's just exciting to be able to grasp that kind of growth and passage. and, just the atmosphere of the album, it just feels like a sweet release, honestly that just feels like flying

cus u never know what the new day might bring

i'm not so sure i've got anything of an epiphany to say about the record but imma just gush. there's this elusive sort of appeal to it that i can't and more so don't really want to pinpoint and name at the moment. it's been so entrancing, and the high contrasts between the sound of cool air'd vocals to the heaviness of the subject matter, the difference of temperatures between the sound of flight, and the bellows of wanting to forget and choosing what to hold onto. the album's just so inter-spatial and fulfilling, liberating as well to many extents. graceful, but still earthy, or something i'd attribute to an underwater pocket of an island protected by the sea. maybe i've always taken to heart what my star signs are, but the imagery, and flowing of water thru this record, the complexity of emotions and their necessity's just incredibly pristine. to the sharpness of what sounds like wind karate-chopping a space, and the warmth of reverbs and pulsing beats- this album's like a beautiful living dance of what it means to surmount struggle, and the genius in finding the beauty in it. like falling in love under a thunderstorm, or taking the right steps and finding comfort in keeping course. it's not something i'd like to analyze to bits, but it's honestly just perfect to me. thank u Lana. consider me inspired, this album's like sunlight christening you from an opened window.

Harmonizing to let the light in its so good

Fishtail has crack in it

i can feel the growth of her music, and just the general growth of life thru this album.

Hope is a dangerous thing, and kintsugi playing right after

I'm excited. There was a part of me that really embraced the combination of NFR and BB, and really took Chemtrails to heart during the pandemic. This album cycle, feels invigorating. The promo, the interaction, the QUALITY of the visuals, and the music's so dynamic and tender, and beautiful, and is even further elevated/ progressing/ advancing in sound. I like to think Text Book was a kind of floodgate from Chemtrails' title track, where ocean blvd. sorta just gushes out all this beauty. it feels a bit like a resurgence and of course, newness of sound, but i'm just incredibly happy about the dynamism AND heart that this album holds. it's incredibly enlivening, and spirited and wholesomely moving. even the sexual references feel a bit more forward and noble to some extent. we just got the album like a week ago, but i've been enjoying it at a steady pace and it just gets better and better the more i explore it.

Discuss, share.

friend introduced this to me lemme get my lute

I wish they had more merch at the backs of things. I like walking ahead and I feel like having a logo on the upper left, with a photo at the back would be a lot cooler imo n less overwhelming while still having an actual full photo design

Kintsugi’s like the reprise to Hope’s Hallelujah there you go, you’re welcome.

I wanna be a man in love n lust w my love

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabeeeee dontchu dare say u’ll braid mah hair

U wanted me sadder (baaaaaaaabe) u wanted me sadder (can’t u seeeeeee it) u wanted me sadder

i'm not gonna pretend like I know exactly what's going on of the album cus i barely had a moment w it just yesterday, but. what I can say about it from what I feel and sense, is that it's such a wondrous, soaring, but still mysterious record. I think the sea setting and the tunnel blends perfectly into the imagery and themes of the album. warm water, cold water, it's inviting, clear, and sometimes hazy. romantic, sensual, cerebral and pondering, but still all the while, very tender. earlier there was sorta? dk perusing the thread, sorta a discussion about how the music seemed like it was her last, and i think, at least for me, it's bc her music sounds clearer, in spirit, and more wholesome, and solidly assured. not to say that she hasn't been etc., but more so in a way that she seems more carefree and there's less of an "ache" of a feel overall from what I can feel. kinda like the same feeling you might have when someone can't anger you anymore, and you're just vibing and focusing on what you love, nods to the serene queen portion of the album being the last 3 tracks of the album, as an ode to herself. it's a compelling album that holds a lot of heart, and carries dynamism just like how life can do. incredibly solid, but still very much wondrous, and at the same time appreciative. it's a cool, cool album.
