maybe she thinks white dress is too stripped down, intimate and beautiful to be a single imagine releasing a song where you're journaling and showing that much of yourself as a single now i know we're all disappointed we're not getting dealer but imagine if we weren't getting white dress for those reasons, given the way it was teased
-
true, but i've always felt white mustang had a special status in the LFL era, it truly embodied something... because of how it was heavily teased with all those videos, because it was about her 2017 relationship, because it sounded like a typical song of hers in the midst of experimental songs, because of the messiness of the clip that was symbolic for that of the era, and it also feels like a turning point in the tracklist to me. i don't think breaking up slowly is special, although i like it a lot already

well as much as i'd be interested in hearing a "screamer", i'm not sure the fact that she screams makes it a good song... just because she screams, we're all expecting a rock/metal-inspired production, but that might be extremely delusional. i like the title and i like that she made it with zach dawes, but i think people are going to be disappointed when they hear it, because contrary to yosemite, she hasn't even said she LIKED the song, let alone it was her favorite on the record... and I know her own taste is sometimes debatable, but still. the only thing we know about its sound is that she screams, but so does she in tired of singing the blues, and I don't think tired of singing the blues would have that much hype around it and although my perception of the chemtrails aesthetics back in 2020 included Dealer (one of the only songs we knew about), because i associated it with her look for the Interview magazine, because I associated it with still screaming, meeting with dealers and being wild in the midst of such a bourgeois, 35-year-old atmosphere, but I truly understand why she didn't put it in there, and I have hope it will either leak or be on her next album

breaking up slowly is one of those songs for which the hate is self-generating. some people hate it, then the others hate it, taking the hate to new extremes as if it were a really bad song. but i wouldn't be surprised if the current phenomenon of rehabilitation of lmlylaw happened with breaking up slowly. if you put the hate you saw on lanaboards aside, do you truly think the melody for breaking up slowly is bad?
-
it's literally impossible for the release date to change, she announced it a month and a half ago, everything is official and has been for a long time now, and to be honest i get the feeling she wants to get the whole thing over with. remember how annoyed she was when she couldn't release it in November-December. do we truly think she could push it again because of justin bieber of all people
-
the reason why i want to wait until March 19 to listen to white dress (though it's not like she's giving us much of a choice at the moment) is because i feel like it's going to be a strong track, that hits deep, almost shocking. and i think the album is meant to be discovered with that initial shock as an introduction
-
that's not what it's about though. what it's about is respect towards others, that is to say not putting that contemptful "you guys are still here?" gif in the midst of such confusion and after playing with us that much, implying it would come, not clarifying anything when it became unlikely it would. this delay situation is clearly her team's fault, or ours for believing stuff without confirmation, it isn't Eclipse's fault. but please don't act like this is about taking out anger from it on Eclipse. it's nice and enjoyable to have some info, even if it's just acronyms, because yes they have been some fun, and it's basically the only info we've been getting given the silence on Lana's part, but that information-giving power relationship obviously gives the giving person the upper hand on the people that are on the receiving end, and it must be pointed out when that leads to disrespectful behavior. i'm probably gonna get shit for this (once more) but yeah
-
on the other hand i gotta say i kinda understand her lack of interest towards this album. on a personal level, i honestly think it's going to be good, if not very good, but maybe it's going to be slightly more uneventful than, say, born to die or ultraviolence. what i mean is i don't think it's going to stand out as much in her discography, were it only because of its length and stripped-down sound. and knowing she made most of the record in 2019, and she wanted to put it out six months ago already, i guess she's grown tired of it. imagine having to promote an album that's already a year old without any addition from after february 2020

even though i like the bridges LMLYLWAW and COCC have, because i think they add a lot to the atmosphere of the songs, I must say I hope the other songs don't have that kind of bridge, simply because it has literally the same chords, or even the same melody (for COCC) as the rest of the song (either the chorus or the verses). and as much as i like those bridges, i'd rather have a different melody for that of the other songs, because at the end of the day it amounts to 3 melodies (verse - chorus - bridge) for a song, when lmlylaw and chemtrails only have two (verse - chorus, although lmlylaw's bridge also has those high notes), plus the verse and the chorus have almost the same melody on those songs
-
it's true that all the signals point towards all songs except for breaking up slowly, dark but just a game and not all who wander are lost having been recorded in 2019 (earlier for yosemite of course). it's weird to think most of this album was done before covid even was a thing, and right after nfr came out, or even before. i can see some continuity between fuck it i love you, the last song made for nfr, and tjf though
-
you can't just pretend it's easy to have self control and to not overplay stuff etc. of course the majority of us, me included, are weak. nobody's saying 'you shouldn't listen to things before the album you're so annoying for doing so or saying you do' so yeah just let the people who want to keep things fresh for the album say it and do it?
