    I'm really happy The Grants is (most likely) going to be the next single. I think sonically and thematically it can be considered the thesis of DYKTTATUOB - I think it's a perfect choice:wub:

    "sonically and thematically it can be considered the thesis" ???? You literally have not listened to the full album yet :toofloppy:

    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

    Now that we heard the album, if she ever tours again... what songs do you think she'd sing?

    I know she probably will stick to the same LA to the Moon Tour setlist, but ya'know...

     

    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? :crai:

    not living legend being one of her most current states or whatever with that hipsters line. also violets is ruined by the mask lyric imo like how the blm ruins tb. i think everyone would be fine if she forgot it existed like every other celebrity in her next era 

    Spoiler

     

    i thought the same thing and then i realized

     

    she's intentionally using "mask" for both of its meanings; the song is about how she had to mask herself when she was with a man. so it takes on a metaphorical meaning for me that separates it from something like the BLM reference. it's actually a more beautiful lyric if you just choose to think about it that way

    Black Bathing Suit is probably one of her weirdest songs ever. It makes sense why she chose the singles she did now— they were sort of odd melodically/structurally too; but a little bit easier to understand on first listen and so they proved great introductions to the album. Black Bathing Suit just takes that musical style and goes even further. It's a fucking insane song. Reminds me of Joni Mitchell's writing. And the best part is, I know its complexity means it will only get better with time :defeated:

    I went back to the original.  Although it's kinda similar in the breathiness the vocals are indeed better. The shape of the vocals are better so it doesnt sound so strained. 

    She seems to be opening her mouth more in the Bridge snippet leak?

    Also the JUST DO IT by the backing vocalists is missing omg...they were perfect 

     

    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 :defeated:

     

    Spoiler

    And as for the “just do it….” it’s still there too LMAO but they DID re-record that. I actually prefer the new version lmao; more subtle and doesn’t feel like she’s just using gospel singers as her “backup”

    In TB, does she say 'You touched the detriment most of the friends I knew already had' or 'You dodged the detriment'? Genius says the former, but I hear the latter, and it honestly makes a lot more sense to me. If the song is about Sean and the end of that relationship, which it seems like it is, that line makes it sound like in her eyes he'd avoided being damaged by "fame" and L.A. unlike the other people she knew. Do we have any official lyrics?

    “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”

    I still don’t know what’s she’s saying ‘my lips like the falicks of bay veiw’ ???

    It’s probably life is beautiful

    “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
