Fingertips

here you go

WHEN I LOOK BACK TRACING FINGERTIPS ACROSS PLASTIC BAGS, I THINK I WISH I COULD EXTRAPOLATE SOME SMALL INTENTION OR EVEN GET YOUR ATTENTION FOR A MINUTE OR TWO CHARLIE STOP SMOKING CAROLINE WILL YOU BE WITH ME? WILL THE BABY BE ALRIGHT? WILL I HAVE ONE OF MINE?

and he insinuated that the song has her best lyricism to date, so

I love his reactions so much

My unpopular opinion: "Art Deco" is a great song, but it doesn't deserve to be one of the most streamed tracks from Honeymoon.

NURSE!!!!!!!!!

Nobody ever said that Lana was a better vocalist than Mariah Carey or Adam Lambert; everyone in this thread agrees with you that Adam is a better vocalist PEOPLE PREFERRING LANA'S MUSIC DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THAT.

Let me explain this to you step-by-step like you have the capacity for reason of a child, because you are clearly not helping your case otherwise. YOU are the one who started bringing up hateful comments about her from the media from ten years ago. For some demented reason you thought those comments would support saying that Lana never went through anything demonizing or hateful in the press; those comments that you shared prove otherwise. YOU are the one who brought up a lie that Lana never struggled with anything in her life, and insinuated that she's a boring whore who only cares about aesthetics. YOU are the one who made a claim that vocals determine great music in your hypocritical crusade against those who care about lyrics and aesthetics. Your position as a warrior for Adam Lambert is admirable, but find some self awareness please, because you're the one incapable of having a debate.

Fingertips Billboard interview

Are you going to be okay?

Doing half of what Ocean Blvd did in two months in 10 days

Still having meltdowns about Lana writing about her family? Get a life. We knew this album was mostly about memories with her friends and family for months now. She's also been writing about her family since the start of her career

Anyone remember any tracks Lana mentioned were her favorites? I remember Terrence Loves You, Yosemite, Let Me Love You Like a Woman, and now Fingertips.. did she ever mention any other tracks as highlights for her before?

Your best post, I fear.

Ok, this is a perfect way of describing it. I actually agree with this assessment.

He’s also a featured artist on the album too. How did that come about? I was done with the album, and he came in for a couple days. We sat there, and I said, “let’s just play the piano.” I can make a song out of anything Jack plays. That’s actually how Norman got started too. He just plays and I just sing. He started playing something and then I was thinking about his fiancée [Margaret Qualley] who I just can’t live without! I love her. I started singing “he met Margaret on a rooftop / she was wearing white / and he was like / ‘I might be in trouble.’” I asked him what he thought we should say in the second verse because with him and Margaret it was a “when you know you know” situation. He had the idea to sing about what you should do when you don’t know. He started singing, and I told him he should just sing it on the record. It was really fun. Margaret sounds like it's going to be such a sweet, heartwarming song after a handful of very heavy and personal tracks.

Yes, and you have a big storm coming if you don't

Stop cherry picking those two lines when she has plenty of tracks with cringeworthy and jarring lines since the beginning of her career. There's a hole that's in my heart all my women try and heal They're doin' a good job convincin' me that it's not real It's heat lightning Oh, oh 'Cause there's a man that's in my past, there's a man that's still right here He's real enough to touch and in my darkest nights He's shinin' I said, "I'm scared of the Santa Clarita Fires, I wish that it would rain" I said, "The power of us three can bring absolutely anything Except that one thing, the diamonds, the rust, and the rain The thing that washes away the pain" Summer comes, winter goes Spring, I skip, God knows Summer comes, winter goes Spring, I sleep, Heaven knows Every time it turns to May All my sisters fly to me To paint, paint

Yeah, did they mistakenly not upload the full thing maybe?

I can't "relate" to her family either (having to relate to every song you listen to or book you read is extremely narcissistic and juvenile), but she is still so talented that she can evoke such strong emotions from me, the listener. I don't give a fuck what she's singing about as long as the music continues to be great!

She keeps talking about Fingertips over and over and over again; every single interview she's mentioned it!! This song is going to OBLITERATE me.

I knew it was giving me Blue Banisters title track but even better vibes, I WON SO HARD

In the song “Fingertips,” I sing “Charlie stop smoking / Caroline will you be with me / will the baby be alright? / Will I have one of mine?” I think I was able to open up about this because Mike was so casual to work with. All in my living room. It allowed for that. “Fingertips” tells everything about everyone from day one until now. @littleredpartydress AHHHHHH

I don't understand what she means by world building at all because each Lana album has one, for me, except for Lust for Life because that album was all over the place sonically...and Ocean Blvd so far because of a conscious artistic decision to explore deeper into her own mind Chemtrails definitely has a world to me, so do Blue Banisters and Norman, UV, HM, Born to Die..I'm not getting it lol

I don't really get how she views her creative process sometimes. In my opinion, her most "world building" albums are the records from Honeymoon onwards. Especially Honeymoon and Chemtrails. Maybe I just have a different perspective on what that means creatively speaking.
