im glad you said this, i must be silly bc i had no idea lmao! (despite studying art history at university level..... embarrassing ) i love Beautiful - its one of my faves on BB - but i literally thought she was just saying "there would be no blue full stop" hahah this makes so much more sense thank u for educating a silly gal like me

I think Miles might actually be saying "he just comes door to door"??

yes!! it gives me such Bel Air vibes

hi everyone!! wow, 6 days and almost 146 pages late to the party!! i've been so busy so i've not been able to log into LB much (the internet servers at work don't let me ) but needless to say i've been listening to BB a TONNE and honestly..... im so happy with how much i love it here's my current thoughts, ordered from most fave to least fave, definitely subjec to change though! (also not very articulate or detailed bc im so tired right now hahah)

the way I Can Fly would've worked so perfectly straight after Wildflower Wildfire.....

the amount of WFWF stans in this thread.... beautiful

okay so nobody asked but here is my predicted tracklist ranking, going from what i think will be my fav to my least fav always fun to come back to these post-release! note: i've only heard WFWF, TB and BB multiple times, i've listened to Thunder maybe like twice???, Living Legend once a long time ago, NOTG a couple times yearsssss ago, CB in full maybe like twice? so that's what im going on rn Dealer Wildflower Wildfire Arcadia The Trio - Interlude If You Lie Down With Me Thunder Black Bathing Suit Text Book Living Legend Beautiful Nectar of the Gods Blue Banisters Violets For Roses Sweet Carolina Cherry Blossom

if we get a tour for this album (unlikely, i know ) i'd absolutely LOVE it if she could bring the lovely backup singers that we hear on Thunder, Summertime Gershwin Version, etc with her so they can intermittently perform with Lana throughout the show and really beef up a few of the songs imagine hearing LMLYLAW performed the way it was on that TV performance (Jimmy Fallon?? i think??) but like IN THE FLESH, i think i'd collapse not my fav song at all but that version is truly something special. of course the classic songs would and should remain untouched - Video Games, Born To Die, Blue Jeans, Summertime Sadness, etc - but just for a few songs it'd be so nice to hear those ladies adding some richness and depth to the performance!

not to be overly TMI but im currently ovulating so whenever i see a photo of baby i wanna cry, suffice to say that pic of baby phoenix literally has me in tears pls god make these maternal urges stop

nouw its chrew!!

honestly i feel like this is such an unpopular opinion but i really dont want the album to leak, we're SO close, wouldn't it be better just to hear it in 9 days as the artist intended? sure if we were months away then by all means leak that shit but we're literally in single digits now just over a week! and honestly i feel like it'd be such a special experience for us all to be able to enjoy it on release day together, whether on streaming services or on vinyl, cd, cassette, however we wanna listen to it in fullllll beautiful quality, not using some site like [redacted] or having to download any shady files or whatever! and everyone can do their little release day rituals too! it'd just be so much better. im manifesting a smooth rollout personally, sorry edit: leak Crazy For You tho

Freak Like Me (Demo 1) vs Smarty

Heroin vs Blue Banisters

when i tell you i fucking SCREAMED

oop-

sounds beautiful not the snippet cutting off right when lana starts to sing tho

maybe i'd get less stressed if i was tested less like all of these debutantes smiling for miles in pink dresses and high heels on white yachts vs i need you like a baby when i hold you like a druggy like i told you

Shades of Cool vs Trash Magic

I need to smoke a blunt w Bill so bad

for me, melancholy is separated from sadness by a kind of... wistfulness? a sort of weird sad magic feeling. lana has many straight up depressing songs - Is This Happiness, Hope, Beautiful People demo, etc - but she is an absolute master when it comes to melancholy! to me her most melancholic songs are: Oh Say Can You See, Yayo (both AKA and Paradise versions!), Pawn Shop Blues, Bel Air (!!!), and probably a few others i can't think of rn!! controversial opinion: i actually think Tulsa Jesus Freak is super melancholic

one of my fav songs ever, Secret Door by Arctic Monkeys, has a *little bit* of a West Coast vibe bc of the tempo switch, but its more of a cute / romantic vibe than a cool and sexy vibe like WC has! from the same album is Dance Little Liar, not quite the same as its mostly downtempo / doesn't have the cool beat switch up, but this song always reminded me of West Coast a bit!

Cherry vs Summer Bummer

Cherry vs Is It Wrong

Art Deco vs Hey You

im not usually much of a ~synesthesia~ type gal but with Thunder i get such intense pale yellow vibes?? kinda like this. and Living Legend, what i remember of it, is suuuuuper deep blue like this. not that anyone asked but what kind of colours do you guys get from the songs we've already heard??
