  1. There's a certain point the body can't come back from
    In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
    The depth that the chest cavity takes
    Chucky was there for three out of three
    I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
    There for the one who was closest to me
    But I can't say I run when things get hard
    It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
    But I've had to let it break a little more
    'Cause they say that's what it's for

     

    And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
    When you see someone dyin'
    You see all your days flash in front of you
    And you think about who would be with you
    And then there's Donoghue

    Daddy, I miss them
    I'm in the mountains
    I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get
    When I think all the things about them
    Daddy, I miss them
    I'm at the Roadrunner Café
    I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day

     

    :omg:

  3. Spoiler

    I just find the reactions a bit unexpected. Kintsugi is everything people claim to hate. Bare piano. Possibly her slowest song in her released catalog. Emotional but challenging, little to no relatable lyrics. She pours her entire heart out in Fingertips, and despite it being so personal, has really powerful emotions packed in it and it does have a melody. I definitely would have thought the reactions to these two tracks would have been the opposite. I love both songs dearly and they're two of my favorites, but Kintsugi is definitely a song that would have been dragged through the mud if it was on Chemtrails or Blue Banisters. Again, not trying to change anyone's opinion!

    Hi, new here. I don't expect to post a lot but I really just wanted to add something positive in the mix. 
    I've been a fan since 2011 and would never have expected to still be so invested in her by 2023. All her albums have been such amazing entries in her catalogue, it's incredible how prolific she is and how the quality is always up there. 
    That said, I feel like this new album is her best, and to those who want to dismiss that opinion by saying "Oh that's just initial adrenaline" or something patronizing like that, it's not. 
    I enjoyed her previous 2 a lot but they didn't match my absolute adoration I had for albums like "BTD", "Honeymoon" and NFR. This one definitely does match those for me. It's such a wonderful journey from beginning till end, it feels like one big warm yet emotional hug and I love the diversity. 
    I'll post a ranking after I heard the album in full HQ friday, I haven't heard CN yet. 
    I just wanted to share the love for this album, cause it deserves it. 

    Love this post, and I totally agree. The album floored me and you will not be disappointed by Candy Necklace :gclap:

    I’m really convinced this is her best most experimental album :trisha:. I have a lot to say (like walls of texts), but I’ll be saving it for release day.

    I’ve not felt this way about an album since BTD I think. Yeah, not even NFR which I love. 

    I bookmarked this post for when you switch up on it after seeing the absymal streaming numbers when all of the TikTok stans give up after Kintsugi

    None of you are going to get that bop album anytime soon-we can predict what is coming next:

     

    Piano.

     

    a couple of songs with a backbeat.

     

    A song mentioning Chucky- likely in reference to children and motherhood.

     

    lyrics about Lana’s everyday life in LA- venues she likes to visit potentially including coffee shops, sandwich trucks or laundry. 


    Lyrics about modern technology- ironic in nature.

     

    potential politicised lyrics as she likes to push boundaries and make people angry- I can see this progressing.

     

    Good. We'll eat it up while you cry harder.

    girl stfu you know what u were doing dont be throwing the rock and then hiding the hand behind your back, what you said could literally have been said without name dropping her or anyone else, enough with dragging other women, you don't have to like anybody but stop bringing down other artirts, especially to praise Lana cause she doesn't need that

    Calm down :kiss2:

     

    That reviewer who called Candy Necklace "glitch pop" must have taken a bathroom break and had to come up with something.

    Interesting, I have interpreted it as a song about her and her boyfriend at the time who was struggling with addiction.

     

    Spoiler

    Oh, definitely not lyrically, I more so meant that the song gives off the vibes like something straight out of a Fitzgerald novel like Gatsby. Idk I could be way off but it's how I envision the song in my mind :hillary:

    Yet this isn’t a work of reinvention. ‘Candy Necklace’ meanders through some familiar Lana themes, depicting Gatsby esque visions of high society.

     

    This is from the Clash review. First glitch-pop and now "Gatsby esque visions of high society"? Did we listen to the same track?

    Spoiler

    Candy Necklace is definitely Gatsby/Fitzgerald esque for me. That part is accurate imo
