Imagine a world where sometimes as many as three tempo changes and off-tempo percussion in multiple songs and lyrics written in a stream of consciousness manner that reference the beat and jazz movements in both delivery and theme in a relatively mainstream contemporary release isn’t experimenting 😂 -

I’m definitely thinking the same, both NFR and BB hit me a little less off the bat for me purely because I’d already developed a relationship with a good chunk of the songs (I say that whilst also recognising they both contain some of her best work). Man will it be hard though - though I guess hopefully at this rate I won’t have to wait too long 😂 -

There is something specifically tragic about this album’s story. On one hand, she’s developed an independence and strength supported by her family and friends - Chuck not least of all, who appears on the title song to save Lana from heartache as well as in this album’s conclusion. But we also hear of Lana’s long-standing desire to have children “give me children, take away my pain”. Upon having not only the strength to leave one doomed relationship after the other, she has also each time forfeited another hope she had of having children, but has still done so for the sake of her happiness, which she then finds in her family and friends. Just as she approaches this point however, Chuck, her sister and closest to her and instrumental in her healing discovers she is pregnant. Lana sings to her future daughter in Cherry Blossom, which is strangely mournful for a lullaby. Even still, she dedicates and sings a song right after in which she chooses to be happy for her sister, who is having understandable concerns despite been blessed with motherhood, and dedicates a song to her. this all contextualised with her relationship with her own mother as explicitly explored across the album? Damn Lana. -

Random question but is your username a reference to Tori Amos’ 1000 Oceans? 🤓 -

Oh shit! My mistake. Maybe he’s an ex of Chuck’s then? -

Kevin is Chuck’s stupid boyfriend, the “fuck you Kevin” is a playful joke upon making fun of his unironic bro-like obsession with crypto, not an actual attack! -
