Kiki de Montparnasse

just finished my first listen and all I have to say right now is this gif
 

Candy necklace and Paris two highlights so far

Caaaaaroline, what kind of 
was she…

Wow this line from the Pitchfork review really rings true:
 
 
An interesting way to make sense of the many imperfections throughout (whether intentional or otherwise.)
 
...That's how the light gets in

Peppers...

LAKE PLACID!

 

Okay but I can't get over the
   LAKE PLACID!!!!!!!
 

10/10
I'M NOT THAT SMART BUT I'VE GOT TINGZ TO SAY. 

ooooooooooo ooh let the liiiiiiiiiiiiiiight iiiiiiiiiiiyiiiiinn 

ended up we fuck on the hotel floor  the way sweet already washed every balled on BB (except wildflower wildflower )

I love the story she's telling with these city names belonging to a different country
 
Paris, Texas
Florence, Alabama
Venice, California
 
in a song where she questions if she belongs to that place or not

I shared it here before in more detail during the Pre-Release, but I formed such a core memory with the title track that I'll always carry with me. In short, I gained the news of three deaths within 24 hours just days after the song's release, one of which being my dear friend Candy that I had met through the Lana community that passed on the day of the song's release, a man in a car accident I was stuck behind in an Uber with my girl while we were blasting this song on repeat waiting for the traffic to clear, and the death of my friend's husband when I signed onto Facebook for the first time in years to attend Candy's livestream funeral. It was very overwhelming, and re-listening to this song floods me with the same emotions I had within that 24-hour span. I felt like those 3 people were very clearly trying to tell me not to forget them before I even knew they were gone. Their message was received loud and clear, and I'll never forget hour span. I'll always think of those three while listening to this song. Such an emotive song.
Onto Sweet, my first new track from the record!! (aside from my initial listening party listen) x 

Little detail I noticed about Candy Necklace:
 
When she sings "acting young and reckless", she misses the beats, goes in early with the piano. such a beatiful way to use music to complement story.

rocker fella

PARIS, TEXAS SONG OF THE YEAR 

PAGE 1, LET'S GO! 
 

Signin’ off.
Bang, bang.
Kiss, kiss.

girl STOP-  i also have a theory that k was mentioned in fingertips 
 
ok so i'm not the most articulated person in english but i need to let these thoughts out:
 
for k, pt. 1/drive-by
 
It was a drive-by Sunday night
Most of us were in bed all right
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens
Interrupt the silence
Is this what you wished
To commit a crime?
 
K's a friend of mine
I think about him as he does time
Miss his white wine
Funny I don't feel free
Even though it's not me
Is this what you wished
To leave me behind?
 
for k, pt. 2
 
I like the way you wear your sweater off your shoulder
The way your hair come down, it make you look older
How you get that so handsome, my boy?
Oh, mmm
 
my theory is that k was lana's childhood friend, most likely her neighbour, not much older. she probably grew up with him, at a certain age started developing a crush on him. he was probably her first "love".
 
him being of course problematic, "chasing for that paper", abusing drugs, committing crimes and in general being a bad influence on her during their teenage years (pre-boarding school).
 
pt. 1 to me reads as if the police arrived to arrest him at his place, lana being his neighbour could hear the sirens from her room. she most likely never got the chance to see him again after they took him.
 
she probably had many questions, "what did he do?", "why did he do it?". he was a "nice guy", he was her friend, her first love, why did he leave her?
 
she keeps asking him "is this what you wished...?", questions she never got to make him directly and never got the answers to. imagine then hearing through the news that your childhood friend and first love was found guilty for double homicide and later sent on to death row.
 
are you still with me? i think these lines in fingertips might be about k
 
 
she did say something about explaining everything from the beginning. if k is real then to me it makes sense that she's mentioning him in fingertips too.
 
also, not defending lana's mom, but if one of my daughter's only friends (we know lana used to struggle socially back then) and probably first boyfriend turns out to be a criminal and a bad influence on my daughter, with her developing problems with alcohol and also undiagnosed mental health issues, i mean... not hard to see why she would want to send lizzy away to boarding school.
 
i know those lines are open to many interpretations but anyways thanks for reading my fanfiction
