Churchome Rep

Probably the three single covers being variations of that car selfie

Blue Banisters addresses not not being a feminist imo. Another controversy is her cultural appropriation especially Latino street culture?

https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/lana-del-reys-text-book-might-address-her-cop-ex-boyfriend A good write up about the release

The second chorus of WW has some pretty godly synths. Probably my favorite part of the song

I really like this song! Kind of reminds me of Japanese Breakfast

Is Lana going to post anything tomorrow? I don’t wanna wait around for nothing

I can’t believe Lana went there to address her mommy issues more directly. For the longest time, I thought she wouldn’t talk about her tumultuous life pre-fame (until like her family members passed away) a la that fight she had with Ann Powers

Hmm I kinda hate that none of these songs have good hooks and moreover, these batch of songs remind me of Violet—incredibly personal and haunting. It’ll be hard for me to revisit these casually. At least with Violet, I had the book so I could read them with my own interpretation. Wildflower opens with some heavy minor chords. I can’t remember any recent song doing that, but I also continually failed ear training when I did music as a kid so

I think this song was written and recorded around the same time as Summertime Gershwin Version because of the background vocals in the outro

What’s the difference between a promo and an actual single for Lana? She basically never charts

Now I’m hearing “later then hospital scent still on my feet”

The father + BLM lyric remind me of that Instagram story she made about Evanston, Illinois, her father’s birthplace, doing reparations for the Black community there.

Is it chickens or Jake? Lana doesn’t really know a Jake but it could be Jason Pickens, Chuck’s baby daddy, shortened for the sake of syllables. Chickens already run bare feet

My only negative opinion of these three songs is that Lana has been listening to Ari a little too much. She needs to enunciate because it’s going to be weeks or months before we can nail down the lyrics

TS stans on Twitter getting real brave for willfully misinterpreting lyrics. Do they need random capitalizations in the liner notes to understand what’s going on?

Mostly what Patty did that Lana is resentful for, specifically.

I thought it was about her father?

Welp. The triple single release closes a lot of threads.

Damn Lana kinda drags her dad in WW but also talks about him tenderly in TB. I wonder what he will post about this

I’m hearing “and in all that splendor” in the chorus?

These songs are like from the branch of hope is a dangerous thing Right now BB > TB > WW. I didn’t like the drums in WW bridge

FINALLY SOME BASS in Text Book

OKLAHOMA HMMM NIKKI LANE CHUCKIE TEX AND MEX

Nobody else is hearing the country-ness of her vocals?

She’s got a country twang going on. Hmmm it’s COCC continued
