Ramada Inn liked a post in a topic by rural legend in Candy Necklace - Music Video [OUT NOW]
Ok, I am usually the last person to get involved in the pointless back-and-forth's about someone's artistic vision and someone's subjective reaction to that very vision but believe me it is POSSIBLE to GET IT and still be able to experience a thought process in which you might wonder how things could have played out had the artist gone with a different direction of explaining their vision.
I get that you get it and I get that you love it but do you get that I get it and do you get that I might have a different opinion?

Wow. I can't believe I just finished my first personal listen of the record. I know it's so soon, but I'm already ready to declare this as her best album. Though Ultraviolence will always be my personal favourite mostly because I have so many memories with it and meaning built into the songs over the past 9 years, it's undeniable that this record is an absolute masterpiece. So much was said. So much was done! There was a great variety - it was raw, personal, unexpected, even shocking at times! A jaw-dropper in multiple ways.
Again, I've been awake for over 40 hours now so I apologise if this post and my live-listen reactions sounded kind of jumbled and worded poorly, but I think even if I had been well-rested it still wouldn't have improved my ability much to find what to say. I have so many thoughts that I can't yet articulate. This record is a lot to take in, in a very good way. Right now, really all I can say is wow. Wow wow wow. Miss Del Rey has done it again, always outdoing herself.
I'll have to come back here later today to write my full thoughts and of course give my ranking after a couple more listens, actually probably in a week for that since already I have no idea how I'm even going to begin ranking these songs. Seriously, at the listening party I kept going "oh, this is my new favourite" and I felt the same way after this personal listen.
Love her. Love the record. Love you guys.
I can't believe we're finally here. It's a beautiful day to be a Lana fan, as is almost every day x

What an incredible way to end a record. You know, pretty early on in the pre-release I predicted that the closing track would be one of the wordier ones, taking the final minutes to get out all that she wanted to say before it came to a close. Though I was somewhat wrong, I'd also like to think that I was somewhat right.
Sometimes there really isn't more to be said, except for what already has been said.
I think motioning that sentiment by repeating the care-free, fun-loving lines of Venice Bitch that we already know and love with some new ad-libs is brilliant.
She said so much on this record - she got raw, she got personal - more than ever before, in my opinion. So, why not close the whole thing by shaking the heaviness off and transitioning into a remix of one of her most iconic songs?
I think by not saying anything more at all and rather choosing to reminisce on a lighter note, she silently reiterated some of the most important lyric lessons that she wanted to stress from the record -
"I'm meaning to say, that there's nothing to do except know that this is how the light gets in"
"I give myself two seconds to breathe and go back to being a serene queen. I just needed two seconds to be me."
"When you’re home, you’re home (Venice, California)"
"It's not about having someone to love me anymore, this is the experience of being an American Whore"
"When you leave all you take is your memories, and I’m gonna take mine of you with me"
So by saying nothing new at all, she really said so much. Again, this whole record contained so much personal storytelling, and I just think this is the perfect sendoff. Sort of a, here was my story, now it's over, let's have fun.
I also love the Taco Truck section of the song and while I do wish it was its own song, I think it transitions so well into Venice Bitch. I think I may even prefer this rendition to the original.
Also, I'm still dying at the fact she teased a lyric from this song to me over a year ago. No, I'm never going to shut up about it x

Ramada Inn liked a post in a topic by Elle in Taco Truck x VB
Met my boyfriend down at the taco truck
Pass me my vape, I’m feeling sick, I need to take a puff
Imagine if we actually gave a fuck
Wouldn't that be something to talk about for us?
Caribbean blue in sweater weather
I’m falling into you
Although it seems I’ve gotten better
I can be violent too
That's why they call me Lanita
When I get down, I’m bonita
Don’t come find me in Reseda
I’ll go crazy
Read my gold chain, says Lanita
When I’m violent, it's Carlito’s Way
Blood on my feet on the street
I’m dancing crazy
Spin it ‘til you whip it into white cream baby
Print it into black and white pages, don't faze me
Before you talk, let me stop what you're saying
I know, I know, I know that you hate me
Honey, I got up so early
And then, I got into the shower, and
I was just able to go back to sleep for an hour and a half, so that rocked, um anyway
I had this dream where um, aha, I don't know
(Signin’ off, bang bang, kiss kiss)
Ya heard my baby's back in town now
You should come-a, come over
We’ll be hanging around now
You should come-a, come over
Back, back to the garden
We’re getting high now because we’re older
Me, myself I like diamonds
Or, baby, crimson and clover
Oh, God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin’ out, bang bang, kiss kiss
Callin’ out, bang bang, kiss kiss
Signin’ off, bang bang, kiss kiss
Back in the garden
We're getting high now because we’re older
Me, myself I like diamonds
My baby, crimson and clover
Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-whatever
Everything, whatever
Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-whatever
Everything’s whatever
Oh, God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
Callin’ out, bang bang, kiss kiss
Callin’ out, bang bang, kiss kiss
Signin’ off, bang bang, kiss kiss
If you weren't mine, I’d be jealous of your love
(get high, drop acid)
If you weren't mine, I’d be jealous of your love
(never die, not tonight, Lake Placid!)
If you weren't mine, I’d be jealous of your love
If you weren't mine, I’d be jealous of your love
If you weren’t mine, I’d be jealous of your love
Oh, God, miss you on my lips
It's me, your little Venice bitch
On the stoop with the neighborhood kids
(If you weren't mine, I’d be jealous of your love)

Pick you up at home, quarter to three
Ask you if you want something to eat
Drive around, get drunk, do it over again
Wake you up at night, quarter to one
I can never stop, wanna have fun
Don't be acting like I’m the kinda girl who can sleep
‘Cause every time you say you're gonna go
I just smile, ‘cause babe, I already know
You know I got nothing under this overcoat
Ooh, let the light in
At your back door, yelling ‘cause I wanna come in
Ooh, turn your light on
Look at us, you and I, back at it again
Pick you up around quarter to two
Usually, we’ve got nothing to do
Screw it, maybe you should go and record some other songs
Got my dress on tight cause you know that I
Look shinin’ in the light, there's so much ridin’ on this life
And how we write a love song
Ooh, let the light in
At your back door yelling, ‘cause I wanna come in
Ooh, turn your light on
Look at us, you and I, back at it again
‘Cause I love to love to love to love you
I hate to hate to hate to hate you
Put the Beatles on, light the candles, go back to bed
Cause I wanna wanna wanna want you
I need to need to need to need you
Put the TV on, the flowers in the vase, lie your head
Ooh, let the light in
At your back door, yelling ‘cause I wanna come in
Ooh, turn your light on
Look at us, you and me, back at it again

Ramada Inn liked a post in a topic by Elle in Grandfather please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing
Three white butterflies to know you're near
I know they think that it took somebody else
To make me beautiful, beautiful
As they intended me to be, but they're wrong
I know they think that it took thousands of people
To put me together again, like an experiment
Some big man behind the scenes
Sewing Frankenstein black dreams into my soul
But they're wrong
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Or an owl to know you're listening
Sitting while I’m drinking
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing
For sharks in the Pacific
‘Cause I’m good, I’m spirit, warm-bodied
Available deity wrapped up in, oh
I’m folk, I’m jazz, I’m blue, I’m green
Regrettably, also a white woman
But I have good intentions even if I’m one of the last ones
If you don't believe me look at my poetry and my melodies
Feel it in your bones
I have good intentions even if I’m one of the last ones
(Ah-ha-ah-yeah, Ah-ha-ah-yeah, Ah-ha-ah-yeah)
Grandfather, please stand on the shoulders of my father while he's deep-sea fishing
For all the things he's wishing
God, if you're near me, send me three white butterflies
Or a map to know you're fishing
Impart on me your wisdom
It took somebody else to make me beautiful, wonderful
As they intended me to be
But they’re wrong
Three white butterflies to know you’re near

Don’t you understand what that means?
It means quit lusting after your neighbour
That’s a heck of a life!
You get to love your children in front of you
You get to love - you ever talk to somebody?
“I want a new life, I don’t love my wife anymore
I don’t love my kids anymore, I’m missing out on -”
Like, they’re usually my age
Does that sound like love?
It’s a life dominated with lust
And for too long they’ve been holding it off
And finally they just get weak
And they say, “it doesn’t matter anymore”
And the spirit of God says, “I’ll confuse you with desires
With what you have and what’s in front of you”
And so, as it works deep in your heart
As you call out to him and say
“How could you do it to me, man?
Help me want what I got
Help me love what’s in front of me
Help me want more of my wife and more of my friends
& help me serve the city I live in
& not wish it away and hope I can move
Help me, God
I wanna be a man of love
Not a man of lust”
But you gotta do that
& so I bring you to this verse and I’m done, I’m done
Psalms Chapter 8
& do you know where I got this verse?
This is gonna sound crazy to you, but I’m gonna tell you the absolute truth
It’s going to make me sound so spiritual, so I’m looking forward to it
I woke up this morning and God said, “check the Bible out”
I don’t know if it was God, but it felt like God
& I had the thought in my head, “check the Bible out”
I’ma to speak to you from the verse of the day
That means I don’t have to do anything
I don’t have to look anywhere
Just look at the verse of the day
So, I get to the verse of the day
& here’s the verse of the day, today, in the Bible
Look at this
“Look at the splendour of the skies
Your creative genius glowing in the heavens
When I ga- when I gaze at your moon and your stars
Mounted like jewels in their setting
I know you are the fascinating artist who fashioned it all!
When I look up and I see such wonder and workmanship above
“I have to ask this question
I’ve gotta ask this question
Compared to all this cosmic glory
“Why would you ever bother with puny, mortal man, or being?”
Ooh, don’t get me started
I can reach over Adam while infatuated
Or be infatuted with Adam’s son
Why are you so infatuted with me?
You’re the star breeder, you’re the ocean maker
You’re the whale creator, you’re the rhino designer
Who do you think you are? You, man
And, and then it goes on in Verse 5, and it says,
“Yet what honor you have given to me
Created only a little lower than Elohim
Which is the name of creator God
Artist God
You wanna call God an artist?
At some point tonight before you go to bed, go
“Yo, Elohim!,” and he’ll hear, “You’re the best artist ever!”
Below Elohim, crowned like kings and queens with glory and magnificence
You have delighted, you have delegated to them
Mastery over all you have made
You’ve made me a partner with you
I used to think my preaching was mostly about you
& you’re not gonna like this, but I’m gonna tell you the truth
I’ve discovered my preaching is mostly about me

Stars in my eyes, hiking up Griffith
Thinking about who was sad
And what didn’t get said in the midwest
Wish I could tell you now
I wrote you a note, but I didn’t send it
‘Cause that's the best method
The women here taught me about
What you don’t really understand
I’ve got magic in my hand, stars in my eyes
I’m a different kind of woman
If you want some basic bitch, go to the Beverly Center and find her
I’m sweet
Barefeet
If you wanna go where nobody goes, that’s where you’ll find me
In the sweet North Country
If I’m not there, come to my house on Genesee
What'cha doin’ with your life, do you think about it?
Do you contemplate where we came from?
Lately, we’ve been making out a lot, not talking ‘bout the stuff that’s at the
Very heart of things
Do you want children?
Do you wanna marry me?
Do you wanna run marathons in Long Beach by the sea?
I’ve got things to do like nothing at all, I wanna do them with you
Do you wanna do them with me?
If you want someone, then just call me up and remember where I’ll be
Sweet in bare feet
You can find me where no one will be
In the woods somewhere
In the northern heart of the valley
In the sweet North Country
If I’m not there, come to my house on Genesee
