    Hollywood Bowl is so NFR meets The Grants in a way. I prefer Lost At Seas atmosphere, Bowl is very much in the NFR Americana world. I adore the chorus. Sea is the better song for me, a total emotional collapse within that one. This is beautiful though. 

     

     

     

     

    She does know she needs to feed us more now right? The drip has become addicting and we can't stop now.

    The albums is having its third resurgence in my household. I played it constant that first month, it waned slightly in the fifth week. The sixth I had an urge to play it all again and went from there. Took a break the past week and now I'm running through again and it's so fresh, my only want is that Lost At Sea would've fit so perfectly. I'd delete kintsugi (just so fucking sad it hurts me) and put Lost after Fingertips and then play as normal from there.

    Im gonna gatekeep this frickin amazing song as everyone moved on from it too quickly. It's resplendent, and the video-simple as it is- is the best representation of that nostalgia only Lana can provoke since the VG video. Soon as the archive footage played I was on the ground. I can't even fathom what Hollywood Bowl will be like

    The Grants has to be her biggest grower ever lol

     

    when it came out I jokinly called it The Yawns and now it's one of my favorites

    her voice is so angelic, the lyrics and instruments are beautiful and it's works so well as an intro to this album

    Those opening notes on the actual melody-its INSTANTLY like "oooh this gurl about to serve" so lush, slightly foreboding, forever glamourous.

    I'm really sorry for your loss. I totally understand why you'd take a break from the song (or anything related) 

    I know it's stupid to say that I hope you're doing okay, but I hope your grieving is not as painful and that eventually you can heal 🩷

    Honestly, to be at his side was everything, i feel peace. I wasn't there when he finally went, but if I hadn't gone that day I'd be in shambles. Shockingly, besides Kintsugi, this album is majorly helping me. Followed Lana since I saw a thumbnail of her in a flower crown on a throne on iTunes main page for BTD video and being 31 now (i know its not ancient, but I was like 18 when I first heard her) , getting older is accepting mortality, and that's something she really understands clearly in her own life. Thank God for this art

    I find Kintsugi to be quite therapeutic, especially when she talks about letting your heart break to let the light in :bebe:

    And also I'm not someone who cries very easily, so when I feel extremely upset, the song helps me cry

    I totally get needing outside help to cry lol. When this album dropped my Papa wasn't doing great at all, and he's passed just yesterday. I avoided the song cus I didn't want to "manifest" anything and now that he's gone it's just too raw. But I am excited to revisit it as he's in no more pain, playing golf with his brothers up there I'm sure, and I got to say goodbye-but yeah this hoe song is TOO MUTHAFUGGIN SAD for now. Also sorry tmi lolol God bless the internet

    Honestly, yes. I think it's because Kintsugi has more of a typical song structure, is more of a typical piano ballad, and just overall feels gentler and sweeter sonically if that makes sense? It makes it easier to tune out the lyrics and just enjoy the melody.

    On Fingertips, I think the unusual, wandering structure along with the vocals and strings just makes it harder to ignore and have it on in the background. It feels more demanding to me.

    See this insane to me. Kintsugi is SO UNIVERSAL, and so bare-it does nothing but rip old wounds open. Fingertips is just major sympathy (or empathy if you've been in her shoes) and it's so specifically her story that I don't feel WRECKED, cus it didn't happen to me. But everyone has had to say goodbye to someone, or didn't get the chance-so Kintsugi is just shatteringly sad. I don't find it therapeutic, it absolutely is but to me the sadness overwhelms still. "Daddy i miss them" makes me ugly cry. Fingertips is gorgeous, serene, otherworldly (THESE are the strings ive been after from her), and more revealing than anything she's done (nasty wildflower Wildfire and its "instrumental" found dead in a deeeeep ditch). 

     

    Fingertips supremacy I said what I said and I'll say it again.

    Honestly I like most of the songs, but I just don’t find myself going back to the album besides A&W, Peppers, and Taco Truck. Tbh I think this is going to be an album that a year or so from now will finally click with me lol. I have just now been able to start to appreciate Chemtrails for what it is (though I do still think the second half drags), and I only like BB less as time goes on, but this album I do think I could start to really like. 

    See this is the first album since NFR *but really L4L where my craving to put it on has grown. Chemtrails did give me needed peace during the pandemic, and it definitely got replayed to hell, same with Blue Banisters-but I think it's because they were there, they were what's new for her and I rarely play through other artists albums like her. Ocean I NEED to put on after a certain amount of time or my mood sours lol. I truly need to hear Paris Texas for brain recalculation. it's like the Violin to Frankensteins Monster-instantly calming and beautiful

    I still suspect they're going to be just background vocals on her dad's records, something like that, not fully-developed lyrical tracks.

    Manifesting her best songs saved for her dad's album. It would be HILARIOUS to see us all reckon with our wallets whether the masterpieces are worth the album. I have decided they are and I will be purchasing. Sad piano siblings of Fingertips the Queen.

    Lana names so many men in her music, I can't believe she finally said my name (Aaron) not once but twice in a single song :deadbanana:

     

    Aaron ended up dead... :crai:

    And it's in the best song and with the most beautiful run she's ever done. (I lose control of my breath during the "kiss aaron Greene and sit by the lake twisting lime" it's just FUCKING STUPENDOUS) That's some king shit, take this crown.
