Candy Necklace

I mean i gave a fuck about it, i'm a doctor so i was extra involved with it, but there's nothing disrespectful or wrong about the lyric. Yeah it was a hard time, but we also had to live through it and manage, of course i would be kissing my boyfriend lol. Those were just the times, the world was burning and yet you get home and have to shut it off for a bit. Nothing wrong about that or singing about it.
 
And if it troubles you, simply don't listen to it.

I think it’s kinda funny how we run to rank a song the minute it gets released

you know they are losing it when they call certain bald man “hot” 

so i'm kinda gonna say smth a bit personal, but basically, perhaps like some other gays on here, I was raised religious, and of course, that's complex. but when I was younger, we'd sing hymns, and I was being trained to be the lead singer and sang reglarly for the congregation cus they liked my voice. there's definitely a condemnation goin on, and just lots of bigotry etc. but ever since I heard Lana sing, her voice and styling reminded me of how they'd sing at church, and the vastness of what she sings, I think it kinda has this glorious euphoria, and spirituality more recently that feels more loving and enveloping. an unexpected comfort from queen baddie, the range. and also, the lesson that humanity's still got some glimmering beams of hope for not being a total asshole etc. 

w the depth of tunnel, the wiles and heat of aw, and the straighforwardness and courage of the grants, this has honestly been one of the most spiritual and healing album cycles. spiritual or not, i think we all as people have a lot of inner work to do as a people, and it's great to find something to align and relate with, in all shades of awareness. moving humanity forward well. 

why are we referring to this as hot who is this guy I’ve never heard of him does he usually review Lana? 
 

When was he ever hot though

i don't think so. i know she started working on some songs from chemtrails while still working on norman but i don't think most sre outtakes. the title track & tulsa jesus freak & not all who wander are lost all seem to at least partially be about sean especially with the midwest references and she was still dating chase when norman was released. then breaking up slowly definitely wasn't an outtake since she only become close friends with nikki lane on the norman tour, & same with dance till we die since she only became friends with joan baez on the norman tour too. then the cover of for free she also started performing on the norman tour and didn't perform it with her friends til the hollywood bowl show so i doubt that was an outtake. i'm not aure about the rest of thw songs (i mean i know yosemite was a lust for life outtake but thats the only one i know for sure) but it seems like most of chemtrails was probably written shortly after norman came out. and the current album is cleary written post-blue banisters so even if it feels like the proper follow up to norman, i don't think it was ever supposed to be. i don't feel likw this album would even be what it is without her getting chemtrails and blue banisters out of her system first.if anything she might just have had more opportunities to make this album grander now that the pandemic restrictions are all over with so she can work more in the studio with everyone which she didn't really get to do with her past 2 albums

Agree with this. In the same way “she wasn’t there yet” with Yosemite going on Lust For Life, she had to go through the process of writing COCC and BB to land her in the right place to get to where she is now for this album. 

I just don't understand what's so difficult to wrap one's head around the concept that Lana releases music for herself and for music, not to release the biggest "chart smash" or to appease others and that's okay. The fact that she continues to go the less obvious route by releasing The Grants instead of something like Taco Truck should be the most glaring example of that

im gonna say something and its gonna be a little deranged but i wanna say it before anyone else does

People are entitled not to like this song or this sound for Lana. 
 
I personally find the song to be beautiful as it is, love the production, love the use of the different instruments, the sound effects and the intro. 
 
But acting like it's her best opener? It's giving recency bias. Ask again in three to six months and you'll have a different feedback in the post-release and "Unpopular Lana opinions" threads. 

I love The Grants, but I also understand the critiques about it. It really could have gone harder for what the name of the song is, or at least have another verse put in or something.

but why? it's literally related to the album 

Why is the energy in this thread so hostile today 
 
 

Then he deserves the worst backlash possible shouldve kept his mouth shut
