Churchome Rep

Both, probably.
I bet she feels very relieved.

My only beef with the official version is I liked how she sang “or did he see it coming all along” in the live version more. Regardless this song is a beautiful masterpiece honestly 

post it 

Her album leaked two weeks before its release. 

I think it confirms that she was really nervous about this release
 

The whole album is about the burden of fame, but this song is the only one that talks about her singing (in the street). This reminds me of the Rolling Stone interview she did with Elton John where she reminisced that there was a freedom starting out as a musician because it was fun, nobody really judged you. 
 
In her Lizzy Grant, early BTD days, she leaned into the whole image of a tragic, Lolita/Marilyn Monroe type figure. Critics thought it was a persona, and the backlash was intense, perhaps in a white hot way. But her fixation with these women is tied to how she thought it was thrilling to be the object of the male gaze. I read “look how I do this/ look how I got this” as a subversion of the fragile female trope because she turns it into a performance that she controls. 
 
Lana is older now. She probably looks back at these days wistfully, and maybe she still wishes she could tap into that although it’s no longer part of her current singer-songwriter “street cred.” Maybe that’s what QFTC was about, wishing she could reclaim a freedom of performance that was taken away from her. 
 
But this song was like done in one take, so this could be an over analysis or projection 
 
 

I had to run out to Target today!
 

so i played the album for my dad this evening during an errands run and i was shocked (but happy) that he took a liking to it!! he didn't like NFR, he likes her BTD stuff and some of UV/Honeymoon. but yeah, i'm glad that he had good things to say about chemtrails. i thought he was gonna hate it like NFR since it's slower.

White Dress is one of her best ever. I truly wish she keeps on that track for the next album. It's sincere, intimate and revealing. The Times' title "The artist launches her best image yet- herself' is accurate and wise. This song especially seizes the vulnerability and that nostalgic feeling mixed with something close to regret o the desire of going back time. She's singing with her whole heart.

So Madonna really acknowledges Lana!!

I don’t understand what the Pitchfork review was trying to say 
 
Just describe the music for once

I actually like BUS especially w how Nikki's on it. It brings a lot more oomph to the track. but. WD is holy 

I honestly see less country in this album than that loungey hawaiian rock type stuff from looking for america & fuck it

Tik Tok stans are so weird but I’ll forgive them because I probably wouldn’t have appreciated this album at 16-17. It’s def a mature album.

Will she do an Instagram Live next week? 

You can tell daddy is so proud 
 

Finally a comment section with some discourse. 
 
If you come into it thinking it’s gonna be like NFR, this review makes sense. He should give White Dress another try though

heres a few pics i grabbed:

 
 
 

And to think that she wasn’t sure about the album, that she didn’t feel like she 100% achieved what she had in mind!

I'm really curious as to the outtakes for this record. Maybe some got left out because they would've been detrimental to the cohesiveness of the album, such as Dealer. Since all the tracks we got were made before March 2020, I'm really curious!

Breaking Up Slowly has some of the most concise lyrics
 
don’t wanna end up like Tammy Wynette
Are these my good years or do I have none?

IMO, the second half is weaker because there’s not enough tempo variation. The first half is much more intense because it’s a bit unpredictable even as the lyrics are consistently autobiographical
