Girls "new music" prob means a single out tonight, not a surprise double album

I really love this album, and I really love COCC— but I think it's interesting that they're two separate releases, and in any other normal year (without the pandemic) I think they would've been combined as one with a sliced up tracklist. It's sorta fun to imagine what that would look like, so here's my version of it (which I think the critics would've gone apeshit for tbh): 1. Text Book 2. White Dress 3. Blue Banisters 4. Wild at Heart 5. Arcadia 6. Black Bathing Suit 7. If You Lie Down With Me 8. Violets for Roses 9. Tulsa Jesus Freak 10. Dark But Just A Game 11. Dealer 12. Thunder 13. Wildflower Wildfire 14. Dance til We Die 15. Sweet Carolina

if she loves us, she'll love us cause we're wild at heart

Blue Banisters!!! What an era. See y’all for some more delusional speculation next week after she namedrops LDR9

Thunder would make an amazing closer/fan-greeting song, although who knows if she'll even do that part of her show anymore given the pandemic. I would also really love to hear IYLDWM, but something tells me she probably wouldn't do any of the older stuff/stuff she wrote pre-2015 (NOTG, CB, LL). Hopefully IYLDWM could be different as it didn't leak?

With how weird gen Z is, I could honestly see Dealer going viral on Tiktok, especially with those people who do the cringey acting videos

oh my god your pfp you win the thread

Why are people coming into this thread just to say “oooh, I have the album” just to hold it over people’s heads and not leak it ?? Like girl….get a hobby….you are not a commodity, the music is what people want Anybody who actually had it would just leak it, the rest are just desperate for attention

The vocal stems are literally the exact same. They might be mixed or mastered differently in the final version, but it’s the same vocal take. Trust me it’s ingrained into my brain

This is how the vocals on the bridge were in the original track too; it’s an intentional vocal choice. She’s kinda raspy and out of breath. It’s meant to be bluesy and stylistic

Cried like a baby to that version of Th*nder….it’s surprisingly the first time that the incoming BB release has actually felt real to me, and the new mix of the song is so perfect

I feel like I remember her mentioning she liked Lana's music years ago during her 25 album cycle. I think she's actually a fan tbh

“You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had.” Def think it’s “touch;” not “dodge.” To me, this implies that a lot of life’s personal meaning for Lana has been found through her friendships. Her issues with her mother and father (the detriment) have been somewhat patched up by strong platonic sisterhoods (like the ones she sings about on BB). But she’s never had a ROMANTIC encounter touch this part of her soul; and so she’s saying this man (who I’m assuming is Sean) helped her “right” some of the wrongs of both her own past AND symbolically her father’s— hence the “let’s rewrite history” lyric. “Detriment” means a state of harm due to lack of necessities. She had a lack of strong parental figures. Her sisterhoods helped to patch up the issues with her mom— but the lack of a strong father figure is what Sean “touched upon”

Where did this info come from???

“My hips, San Gabriel all day; // My lips, like the fire licks the bay, if you // think that you know yourself, you can come over // Lay your hands on me like you’re a land rover “ pretty sure it’s this; the “view” you’re hearing is actually the “if you” of the next line. Beautiful use of enjambment
