Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he’s deep-sea fishing - staggering! The stuff is happening! The kite is flying high on the melodies and poetry! The [Outro] Three white butterflies to know you're near is like a child how we would pray . . . That's it for today for me. I began by relistening to Fingertips, and bawled again to the verses, now that I know what they mean. Enjoyed the pleasant, Paris, Texas, and I just needed one more. Is this the track everyone said is tour de force?

These are sooo good! Thank you so much 

I walked all over Hollywood today and listened to the album from start to finish. I honestly don't think it's recency bias when I say this might be on its way to becoming my favorite Lana album. It's certainly her most complex. All of her music is cinematic for me, but this album feels almost like watching a movie, not merely just listening to an album. Every single time I listen to it, I'm picking up something new, some new connection or note I haven't caught or instrumentation I didn't notice. The album is a dark, chaotic journey, full of small beautiful moments, devastating lyrics, strange instrumental arrangements that don't go where you expect them to and keep you on your toes, little snippets of sound that aren't repeated but are so captivating I can't stop obsessing (the whistling in Kintsugi!). Lana sings about the darkest experiences of her life with a naked sincerity that breaks my heart into a million pieces; Kintsugi and Fingertips are honestly two of the most painful songs I've ever heard by any artist. But she also revels in the light, too - like on Margaret, which I think is so breathtakingly beautiful and, the main love story aside, also a great reflection on the love we get from friendships, too. There's something so touching to me about the little spoken word parts as well, and that ending waltz instrumentation is getting me every time. The way she captures the full range of human experience in this album, and the shifts in mood and tone in the span of just 16 songs, is really blowing my mind.
 
I think part of the reason this album is hitting me so hard is that I'm in a period of my life where I'm coming out of a years-long mental fog, realizing I haven't actually processed things I thought were over, trying to figure out at almost 34 what I actually want out of life, reflecting on what actually makes a life good and enjoyable, trying to heal from things in the past. This album is cracking me wide open in all the right ways, and I can't quite explain it rationally but I feel the album will be an essential component to my overall healing process. I've read other Lana fans say the same about this album (and her music in general), and that makes me so happy that so many of us get to share in her art.
 
And on a lighter note, thank god for LanaBoards - I don't know how many much more my IRL friends can talk with me about this transformative album before they're like Girl enough....and I get so much joy reading all of the thoughts and opinions and essays other people write on here. Grateful
