we need another single, i fear…

The intro to WTWWAWWKD just alternates between two chords, but Horizon moves between 5 different ones, so it’s likely just a coincidence that gets emphasized from the strumming. The first two chords are the same though!

I’ve gotten even more excited for the teased “variety” of this record, even if the songs end up being in the same sonic landscape. In my opinion, some of Lana’s best records require a really specific headspace, but I look forward to having a record I can revisit regardless of what I’m currently drawn to musically or mood-wise. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a Lana record since NFR, particularly given that all of TUOB will be fresh material. Preparing for A&W to leave us speechless

since we’re on the subject of what the ocean brings.. how does everyone feel about Lana sampling this in some unknown TUOB track? Personally, I’m intrigued to see how it gets used and what vocal melody she’s assigned to it! I’ve never really listened to SYML, but it’s an interesting choice for sampling!

Unrelated to MAC, but a huge amount of Lana’s work used some variation of a progression like Am-F-C-G, so recycling one of the most common progressions isn’t anything new or specific to Jack I’m not a huge Jack fan, but personally, there seems to be just as much work if not more from before Jack that bears melodic similarities to other artists’ work (Old Money, Video Games, Get Free, etc.). I think that this will be less common as Lana’s artistry progresses as she seems to delve more into less conventional melodic structures, and BoZ seems to indicate this about TUOB as well! Comparisons will always be drawn, but I do think Lana’s headed toward a more distinct melodic sound with her next record

When Lana samples the video of her singing God Knows I Tried from when she was in Italy at the church in the Ultraviolence video

well, she’s known since at least 2017. who knows

has anyone made the connection between her W magazine quote & this line in HBTB? I know they’ve been mentioned individually today but wasn’t sure. I doubt this is significant but still a neat concept if she samples either/both of them

When Lana’s automatic singing applies to the titles as well & leaves in typos like in the Violet book

I still want to know how powerlifting comes in…

your mind….I hope you’re right!!

manifesting a Swan Song sample

Same here! The seem to reference the same name/person & I’ve always thought it was a cool continuation of the narrative. Personally, I hope she samples a different song this time, but I’m intrigued either way

I don’t listen to much of Lana’s unreleased music.. I adore a handful of them (I Talk To Jesus, Tired Of Singing The Blues, the demos for LFL and BP, etc.), but past that, I don’t listen to many others. I don’t find the others bad, really—just not my preference musically, I guess.

I hope TUOB has a cathartic moment similar to what’s seen in White Dress, hope, Heroin, Wait For Life, etc. Maybe that’s where Rockefeller comes in

73 more days!

My first thought was TikTok as well, but there doesn’t seem to be many recent videos for it, much less viral ones. I wonder where we could find her streaming stats for VFR! either way, lovely song

I unironically think a cover of Strawberry Wine would be iconic idc

the cinematography…..the comedic relief…an artist with a vision

Unrelated but the triple singles are still my favorites… the lyrics, the gorgeous outros…

Beautiful is probably my least favorite album track, but all things considered, I don’t think it’s really that bad compared to my least favorites for other artists—Lana just has a really high quality standard in my opinion. I actually think the piano is really delicate and pretty, the sentiment is nice, and the melody is always stuck in my head, but the execution of the lyrics just wasn’t my personal preference

Having such a hard time filling mine out on my Notes app because I appreciate so many of you! a good problem to have, I suppose (also if anyone has suggestions for iconic moments, let me know! DupeGate was a personal favorite)

I just realized you changed your username. I thought you disappeared

I also think @annedauphine deserves some positive nominations!!!

It’s because she’s in a world preserved—only a few have found the door
