Haven't done this in a while... Wordle 414 4/6 ⬛🟨🟨🟨⬛ 🟨🟨🟨⬛⬛ 🟩⬛🟩🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Yes! I love both so much. And the way she manages to make them her own! You can tell the influence quickly, but it's still her. Amazing

Aaaaaahhhhh!!!! It truly is the most spiritual, soul-binding, transcendent song ever. What can anyone possibly say more to their lover?

Oh, how could they do that... Fun fact: I never listen to this song on my Spotify. Because once I start, I cannot stop and men following me start messaging me when they see that I'm playing it so much thinking I must be horny or whatever. Meanwhile, I'm literally crying at home at the beauty of the lines "MY WHOLE EXISTENCE IS FLAWED, YOU GET ME CLOSER TO GOD". dsdsjfhjdsfhjs

Thanks a lot x

Stop it with the NIN, I'm dying!! This is one of the best love songs ever made, I don't even care what anyone says

Yep.

It’s more grungy I would say. I think that’s what she meant by « soft-grunge ». Nirvana influence is all over that song.

I haven’t watched the video yet, but there are many many songs rumored to be about Courtney Love apart from « Hollaback Girl ». Some that comes to mind immediately: Babes in Toyland - Bruise Violet Tori Amos - Mr. Zebra (about Trent Reznor, too) Tori Amos - Professional Widow The Strokes - Meet Me in The Bathroom Primus - Coattails of a Dead Man I’m sure there are many more, I’m not even counting the Nirvana and Foo Fighters ones…

Pure gold Also the opening of this one:

Ultraviolence, my old friend, Listening to you again today after a while, sorry that I can’t do that too often, you’re sometimes too intense to be around. Your beauty lies in how you tell the ugly beautifully, how you manage to fashion something beautiful out of your pain. Your soul flows straight through my veins with the first notes and perks on the darkest point of my heart and forever ingrained there.

It could be personal in the sense that she is also afflicted with media scrutiny. Fame is only truly understood by those who have it, so she can feel super close to them. She also once said she believed she had a special, personal connection with people long gone before her through their art. I'll update this post if I find the interview. Found it: “I knew then, really, that my closest friends would be people I have never really met before,” she said. “I was different and I didn’t know many people who felt about mortality how I did. As a result, I do feel a personal connection with the icons: John Wayne, Elvis. I loved how nice Marilyn was, I related to her. Finding girls who were as loving and warm as her is hard.” https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/elvis-presley-lana-del-rey-feels-friends-dead-celebrities.html/

I’d like to imagine the reason for the silenced parts were purely out of respect for those artists who have been heavily targeted by media and general public which contributed to their early demise. So as not to open up another discussion like “LDR name-dropping Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston on her new album” or whatever. It’s like she’s saying they’ve had enough, they’re “free” now and must be beyond scrutiny. On top of that, you can put in those gaps any artist that you like who’s not with us anymore or even people dear to you who passed away and meditate upon what the song is trying to say as such. Edit: Sorry that this is not really answering your question or in response to you, I just wanted to express my opinion on the silenced part when you happened to mention it. ♥️

I mean I know she’d never do that… But what a song, the mysterious, cinematic verses kill me. Such a shame it wasn’t released back when it deserved to.

Thank you so much! God, I love Courtney. Also “What’s your attachment style? Mine is masturbation.” Lyric of the year

What's Courtney Love's new material? I looked it up on Spotify and her Instagram but couldn't find anything.

Video Games vs Terrence Loves You

I'm surprised I'd never come upon this speculation about Fleet Foxes' "Mykonos", since I've been a fan of the band since day one and also have been following FJM for quite a while. From the song's Wikipedia page: "The song is rumored to be about then-Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tillman, now better known as Father John Misty, and his struggles with drug addiction." From the song's Genius page: "The first chorus is saying that after all the arguments, interventions, etc., the friend will now go to Mykonos – a metaphor for a rehab center, which are often located in quiet, secluded places." This performance with his divine back vocals towards the end surely hits a whole lot of different now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS6i920KUMw

Winner and champ pretty much mean the same thing, but still I think it makes more sense that she sings “winter”, for the coke is referred as “snow” earlier in the song so he’s snorting the “winter” in.

(Don’t Nose my) Cocaine

I can’t be the person to answer your question once and for all since I’m not even a native speaker, but I, too, got caught up in it last night and after watching some live performances, I’m convinced she sings: “White lines, pretty daddy, gold skin, You snort it like a champ, let the winter winter in” I hear it like this consistently in different live performances, so I don’t think it’s a lyric change for the day edit: maybe this would help, too Another edit: I’m 100% sure now that’s what she says. It’s very clear here.

To me, it sounds better than the original lyric which I find to be cringy.

I’ve made myself believe it’s « ribbons AND knots », goodnight
