She should’ve saved Pink Champagne for this album instead of stripping it down for Chemtrails. Would’ve sounded great between “Grandfather” and “Let The Light In”.

I know Fingetips is a deeply personal song to Lana, but did anyone else’s grandm***er want to send them to an institution because all they wanted to do was kiss some guy? Just me ?

ok but it’s kinda beautiful that she went from “you don’t know the world like I do” to “you talk to God like I do, I think you know the same secrets that I do” on the album that this track ended up being on.

IDK I think "Three White Butterflies" sounds kinda basic for a Lana song.
"Deep-Sea Fishing" could've worked but I think the full title is so iconic.

Dirty cop who turned on the backbeat
Put’s the shower on while he calls me
Seems like a bad time to talk to me

Because of the lyrics and melody moving the song along, I agree with the comment on youtube:
after the comments about girls losing their innocence prematurely.
Is it because you are streaming? Lana made this for me with my sensitive hearing. Can't listen to mainstream pop with its heavy production. Lana Del Rey on the bleeding edge of sonic exploration, going quieter. Sorry of your jumpscare, tho!
Thanx for your observation! Did anyone notice the "death spiral" on The Grants: "but . . . but?" Gerschwin's My Man's Gone Now as interpreted by Sarah Vaughen has several is an aria with the voice doing the death spiral in several places, no lyrics, just pure emotion over the grief of a dead loved one. Cannot believe, with this album, and what you said about the voice, putting Sarah Vaughan and Lana Del Rey in the same sentence? Oldster like me understands the significance . . . but I'm hearing it on DYKTTATUOB!!! Put your opera ears on. I timestamped it to start at the first vocal death spiral.
You are bold to voice your opinion, which I read with interest. It is valid!
I do not trust streaming! Perhaps Spotify cannot get the compression right on a delicate production like this! But it sounds good on PC listening to mp3s on my headphones, left ear only, because of damage in my right ear that distorts sounds.
Haven't heard the entirety of Folklore, only Cardigan, but am tickled for Lana's sense of humor to write a Taylor-esque song, if what you said is true. That is why I enjoy Lanaboards so much! It is another love tribute to Jack Antonoff. Taylor's bonus track on 1989 is called, "You're in Love" is tribute to Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff, with lyrics that read:
Lena Dunham tweeted,
IMO, Lana is entitled to appropriate from Taylor, imo, because Taylor draws major "inspo" from Lana . . . so much I used to feel indignant in Lana's behalf! At least Taylor credits Lana. Not like others who steal and DO NOT credit.
In these apocolyptic times, a dying breed, like from the hippie dippy love generation flower children? 1967 was the summer of love, Vietnam protests and civil rights.
Suicidal. Lana is not allowed to say it. Guardian UK burned Lana for making an off-hand joke about joining Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin, and Winehouse when Lana was also aged 27. After Lana trusted the interviewer, he turned the off-the-cuff wry observation into a headline . . . for which Lana it seems did not forgive The Guardian . . . and granted no more interviews, as far as I can tell. Guardian did reviews and think pieces about Lana Del Rey since, but no exclusives . . .
It's you the fans who keep Lana from doing the unthinkable, imo. Like the Japan idols venerated around the world, Lana is so influential, her taking the easy way out would result in a domino effect of copycats. I am sure Lana has had low points, as her recent works infer, but she dismisses the thought, because of you. It is not just about her, I am certain . . .
RollingStone put Video Games at the top, and rated Heroin the bottom? I have nothing against Video Games, but there are so many great Lana songs even from that era that outshine it frankly, to me! People love Video Games. I do not want to take that away from them!
I would much rather read the reviews here because the fans are educated at least, even if your opinions differ from mine! You study your subject. It is much more illluminating to get the feedback from you, even if I do not agree. Mostly I agree, though.
About Heroin being bottom. The journalists get it wrong!
Not with the album, but I did catch up on the last 50 pages of this thread today . . . Like I said, above, your opinions so much more captivating than anything out there. Not even reading the reviews. They just do not know.
Structure, melody, instrumentals. It is a real song!
I skipped JS interlude, but am interested in the tea about Sean disrespecting Lana. It is the crux of songs from Chemtrails on. Why why why why why did Sean walk away, when he had Lana? It must go deep, the climate at the time, the anti cop sentiment, protests over cop abuse, perhaps feeling like Sean's loyalty to his badge was tested for dating Lana? If I had a life, it wouldn't concern me, I suppose. But Lana' music speaks to me so much, I suffer, too. I felt violated when Chuck was robbed of digiatal photos, etc. let alone the recent car breakin Lana made public. It hurt.
