Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
daphnedinkley replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
i know this is absolutely irrational but i still hate the title so much that its putting me off the song and album i know its ridiculous and irrational and so stupid of me! but blue banisters is such a terrible, weird, clunky, meaningless piece of imagery to stick to in my opinion... i understand it might mean something to her (i really do believe she probably wanted to paint her banisters irl and her boyfriend at the time said he'd help, like i believe that's a real life story lmao) but that doesn't necessarily mean it translates well to an audience. i know its silly of me, but its really bugging me! -

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

ATMOSPHERE! FINALLY! ATMOSPHERE! yes its a slow ballad type song but the warm glowy droning synth (if that's what it is?) gives it genuine ambience which, really, is all i've wanted!! it's dark and delicious!! one of those sounds that hits you right in the heart!! (that being said.... i am hoping for some versatility ) -

Blue Banisters - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

im so sorry but Blue Banisters is such an awful title it's not fitting for an album at all a song would be fine but in terms of an album title it evokes absolutely nothing, feels oddly mundane, almost sounds cheesy like a title a fake insider would make up ???, and just doesn't give ANYTHING like.... imagine describing something as "the Blue Banisters era"..... no thank u edit: i almost feel like even something like idk Beside The Blue Banisters or something would be better?? lord idk but pls let her change this title.... pls -

still not connecting with the album as i'd like to, but on my work commute today i listened to Breaking Up Slowly and White Dress a few times and really enjoyed them there's something really dark and honest about Breaking Up Slowly - i know it's not a fave on here but it gives me God Knows I Tried vibes (which is another oft forgotten Lana song that i love!), just really sparse instrumentation but haunting lyrics and powerful vocals and the melody is honestly so catchy to me. it probably helps that i'm going thru some romantic bullshit of my own right now too! White Dress is just gorgeous... there's a sort of desperation to it, a real anxiousness in the pacing and melody but a sense of triumph with the lyrics. i think it really captures that feeling of being a young woman trying to "make it" (in one way or another) in a room full of men. i especially love the line "wearing a tight dress, handling the heat" because i'm sure a lot of us girlies have been there - wearing something sexy, knowing you have to weaponise your sexuality to achieve what you want in that environment, but also trying to handle all the heat it brings you.
