this single cover was the first thing she was able to announce herself lol

anyone else think there's a lot of lazyness going on in the plot?
 
i mean I really liked it, but some stuff just felt empty, like the whole thing with the plane crash not being an accident and then talking about it like two more times somewhere in the middle of the show, or Salem's goblin form or whatever only taking shape like twice?? and the first time was so half assed like he just appeared and bam !!
 
plus what happened with the curse the sisters originally put on sabrina? ?? 
 
i mean it was really great, just had a lot of holes

hopefully the second seasons isnt as odd

+ the whole RiVer DaLe thing is fucking annoying like okay we get it please dont drag that awful show into this one kthx

the show is entertaining for sure but the show has so many issues the creators of riverdale really haven't learned anything from making two (? or three?) seasons of riverdale.

So I'm just gonna say it ms. ariana what are u standing in mother monster TEAS 

Idk like the vibes are off and I feel for her.. I know that I'd prefer some soft rock, disco all that, but maybe at least for now, that hallmark interlude post I made seems more and more probable.. maybe like, a track more in the vein of Bartender too? it all feels so disconnected and by how violet's still stuck it's probably very much heavier transitioning from her norman state of mind to a better one. 

tl;dr highly probable for some kind of waterworks of a track or some..

Rain on me may 22 wbk tho
 
And she posted the single cover

Praying for violet rn. I heard bees like the color yellow like from her lemon trees 

kinda obsessed w the single cover

I was not ready for that serve of a single cover.

Lowkey want her to make a hip hop song featuring Nicki Minaj.
 
Imagine the CHAOS.

brb gonna get my lemons/oranges ready

I'm glad someone bumped the thread. Listening to the album while biking has really let it grow on me and realise that it's really not like a lot of her earlier stuff that you can listen to and daydream about because they're so vivid in their imagery compared to NFR. Having changing scenery and moving while it plays has really made the difference to me. Wish I could drive just so I could listen to it while driving alone tbh.

I was listening to this album stoned af last night I gotta shout props to Love Song. She is THAT SONG.

I think TNBAR sorta serves as like a second chance type of song .. 

real quick, analysis incoming. 

the song's set in the past tense. follows the desperate cries of California n plays off it well. so it seems like she's glazing over problems she wishes she hadn't seen in the relationship and tries bargaining w Topanga nights and how they were so good together. but it seems she was more invested in it than he was, and she got let down. 

song promotes growth, from the demo that we had before.. but it's also duplicitous bc she clearly knows that she can't go back no matter how much she tries to. Even if she wanted to, it'd be a step back, and the past isn't even there anymore as it usually isn't, and she knows that. her dreams were swallowed in a stale void. 

and as smooth as the chorus is, u can feel the reluctance in the verses.. the slow guitar. the descending notes. how everything was. 

to me, what it feels like is that she's 13beaching and going back in her head, but at least she found a gem of self-assurance in what she wants for herself in the future. or at least that's what she can walk away w for herself after the dizzying ordeal.. 

it connects real well to California bc it almost seems like a "feels like we only go backwards.mp3" moment by tame impala. 
venice, bc it gives her better clarity towards the vision of what she wants in the future. that hasn't changed.
norman, in the theme of him being into himself.

tl,dr. 
it's a great take on what it feels like to sort of be in denial. swimming in the past in varying grades of reality, and back to the album trailer. was that island of refuge as blossoming as it was? 

difficult to ascertain, but she ends the record w hope, and I can't help but feel an overall sense of relief for her in that sense. 

subtle, but powerful: "nothing scares me anymore"
