Future Jazz

no one is telling you what to believe though, it's the exact opposite

excuse me? on top of being absolutely stupid and scientifically wrong, this is pure sexism

I think we're going to like Beautiful a lot more than we thought we would, because usually, there's one simple, very Lana-like title on every tracklist (for instance, California) that we overlook because it looks less interesting than, say, Dark But Just A Game, but it ends up being more loved

the four singles are really, really good, and are completely devoid of the muffled, watered-down tone the songs Jack produced had, but to me, text book really stands out. it's actually such a serene song, it has this vibe of accepting exactly how sad one's own past was, the ways in which it shapes one's present, but such honesty leads to a hopeful, appeased outlook on things. it means healing thanks to some people you meet along the way, whom you can open up to, who will bring you the things you couldn't find yourself. the lyrics from the chorus, when she speaks of her family to her lover, although seemingly somewhat incoherent, break my heart everytime. the melody and production are gorgeous and fit the theme perfectly.

however i can not get over how bland dance till we die is, apart from its bridge... the melody, the vocals, the lyrics, the production, it's all just so uneventful. kind of a shame the end of the album has all those similar-sounding songs which are not so good in my opinion (except for yosemite) because the first few tracks are really, really good.

in my opinion, the title track is the best song on the album. it's just so good. it has the most haunting build-up, leading to the heavenly juxtaposition of different vocal layers at the end, but i have to say it is outstanding from the very beginning. the abrupt way it starts, the low voice, the seemingly mundane lyrics, her vocal delivery, the harmonica, violin and the guitar that add so much to the song... that's one of the few songs on chemtrails whose production is actually great the way it is people said this song was warm, i'd say it is really cold on the contrary, like winter is

I also try not to make it my new Yosemite, although I had still made Dealer my new Yosemite (which is funny given how different both songs are), but I guess there'll always be that one song that we know was supposed to be on the latest album(s) and didn't make it

dealer is...

it's kinda weird that they should've leaked dealer and not loved you then and now i mean dealer is going to feature on this album so that's both kinda useless to leak it as we were gonna have it in one month anyway, and really not cool for Lana to leak part of her upcoming album i agree there's a chance she's going to release loved you then and now in the future though so its leak wouldn't be devoid of ethical issues either

my body is not a temple it's a map of LA

i'm all for her reusing older songs and writing her own story but i just realized lyrics like 'heroin gold in my veins' were going to be there side to side with 'chuck is making birthday cake jake is running barefeet there's a baby on the way'

by the way isn't it a weird coincidence that all the leaked songs lana picked from her older repertoire got leaked in either 2019 or 2020?

jack antonoff when lana replaced the songs they made in 2020 with 2012 scraps

wild one realising the song that had the guts to leak under its title made it onto the album she got scrapped of

i can fly almost making it onto the album despite being officially released already when yes to heaven got rejected for the fifth time

so you're telling me that lana was able to dig up thunder and dealer from her 2017 sessions but somehow paid her magnum opus mary (scared of me) dust?

seafoam nova is obviously the cherry of this album

bloody mary in the mirror afraid in the corner

i think the way Lana's been using an assertive tone for the most random opening lines on this album like 'there's a picture on the wall' is kinda iconic

there's a picture on the wall

i can't wait to see the lengths of the songs

this whole situation makes me even more curious as to the mysterious song that was mastered for Chemtrails but then got scrapped, which was confirmed not to be loved you then and now if i remember correctly. I wonder if it also was scrapped because it was too different from the rest of Chemtrails, and if so, how different it was, like what genre it explored. I also hope the songs she did in 2020 and intended to put on blue banisters before scrapping them see the light of the day at some point although I'm confident this album will be excellent and coherent the way it is also, it's fascinating that we're going to get a 2013 song co-written by Barrie that we never heard before (although it might not feature her 2013 vocals if it was reworked), i really love this idea of us getting an old song which Lana obviously thinks is good in an official way. it also makes me wonder if some leakers possessed this song we didn't know about

except for Arcadia (which we've known about for a long time, and whose title we've known for 2 weeks) we've known them for months though I'm grateful for the new information but it's not like it brought us any new element of the tracklist

it's exciting to get old songs we never heard. thunder and cherry blossom are good picks so i trust her. it's almost magical to think we might get a dark 2013 masterpiece released officially! this is the first time an album is going to have songs from such different eras!

it's her past lies from whom we do not learn
