lets ride

it's a once in a career kind of song… a magnum opus. that psychedelic sound was brand new to us. venice bitch itself can be fairly described as mood music since that's literally the point, and i definitely use it as such all the time. even pull up the video. probably get lost in the mood and end up making little progress on the task at hand, but not always.
 
also, i'm a sucker for long ~'journey' songs and that one still blows my mind. check out: donnie darko - let's eat grandma, touch - daft punk, century - feist, movies - weyes blood, for my favorite non-vb examples

literally, there are *very* few albums i couldn't fathom removing a single track from. i have a weird way of visualizing tracklists that usually involves an element skewing the representation based on a tracklist's hotspots (making for some wildly different conceptualizations since filler can/will strike anywhere). but this is soooo tight at the moment (nn) like…. i literally go to the tracklist and wouldn't even know where to click. cinnamon girl is tempting since it's a fucking bop and i want it now but love song i could actually end up doing as my first dance, so no skips. then what, doin time? after that video? no skips. FIILY? why? 
 
the only bump could be MAC and VB tracks two and three, but VB is central to the setup for the rest of the album and now i'm also annoyed at the describing of this as a mood album. i personally think it's insulting to reduce any of her albums to that but she does it herself so i digress on thaT. but yeah no i think this experience with the tracklist is, in my mind, pointing to an album with robust, consistent quality, but also the way she told the story in such a half-compartmentalized-half-meta fashion makes it just really gripping and unexpected to listen to. the flow is really immaculate, and thank u lana for this time capsule/treasure/monument/opus like we will literally still be listening to this on our headphones while we're lying in our death beds, if i'm not then something went wrong

we all going to jail

Lemme contemplate for another 30 minutes. Lanas impact 
 
 

It came !

if you lie down outro playing in the ballroom of my mind intensely

I need more Zach Dawes produced tracks

i think there's a double meaning in if you lie down with me, perhaps she also wants him to lie to her as they lie down together, this could be why she repeatadly sings "lie lie lie lie lie" after singing if you lie down lie next to me- as if she wants to feel closer to the man she loves even if that means lying to her, becsuse sometimes even a false form of intimacy can keep you feeling warm and safe and loved.. at least in the moment, and there is nothing more heartbreaking than loving someone who does not love you back

The word BLUE is mentioned in 6 songs on this album and she says it a total number of 25 times.

I think it’s “hospitals” 🥺🥺🥺 I truly do - I think that’s why she’s giving such careful consideration to the composition/release of BTIG, because that’s the first time she’ll really tell at least part of that story.
 
Yesterday on the live, she said the poems are “unflattering” to her - since the Guardian’s “I wish I was dead already” incident, I think she knows what a field day the press will have with painting her out to be some kind of irrational lunatic when that’s so far from the truth of mental health situations (which I assume she’s talking about in BTIG given her allusions to it but could be wrong).

So uhm I was having technical difficulties and then I fell asleep while it was uploading but here's my recording of the live-
 
Still can't believe she went live for almost 2 hours and how much she revealed, I had to cancel my plans last minute to watch it but I'm so glad that I did. I really love how open she was with us. 

The audience response after was great. Makes me happy. 

You are a legend for doing that  your poor wrist

You are a legend for doing that  your poor wrist

You are a legend for doing that  your poor wrist

lmao no but our chat conversation on the live chat was ICONIC though  just like me // am I right @Sportscruiser and @your dealer

Unfortunately, there’s clipping on Tidal as well. I listened last night with my headphone amp/dac setup and Beautiful and Sweet Carolina were noticeably bad. 
 
Further disappointing is that Apple Music doesn’t have it in master quality, just regular lossless. I didn’t hear clipping on theirs at all but the quality was generally less crisp than Tidal.
