this album better eat the folk masterpiece cocc alive!

I think we're gonna get news soon regarding the album and I agree I think the title change and the track eliminations were done a while back

I think she only removed the Jack songs since the singles are staying - but yeah the album having a sudden shift is scary and exciting

the thread's title

just to recap: this era started a day after cocc's release the album has been retitled twice instead of one single we got three and we were graced with the picsart covers it's so fucking funny thinking about it

so this news is very very alarming but I trust the hoe

I knew she would change the damn title no fucking way she'd keep Blue Banisters as an album title

I wouldn't say romanticizing but more of her going back to the way she was. The lyrics on BB detail that she did all those things - her being on a John Deere and being in Oklahoma - because she either lost herself loving him or just wanted to feel closer to him. She was ready to leave LA with him on LMLYLAW and it really seemed like she loved that dude. So yeah it's even evident in BB itself, this album is about her finding herself again.

Here's the deal... I think everyone should focus on the stories she's telling in these songs. I know a lot of you aren't fond of the direction she's going with this record but it's just surreal that she's sharing her story with us this way - and evidently a lot of people resonate with the narratives too. Whether it's healing from a man who promised her a life, looking for someone to fill the void of her father, or her promising to never turn into a natural disaster, these are just huge topics (and some of many discussed in those songs) within themselves that aren't really discussed in most music today except maybe Blue Banisters but the way she portrayed the story in that song was so beautiful. I personally relate with the singles and they released at a time I needed stories like the ones she told to help me through the shit blunder I was going through - and seeing your favorite artist do something like that is just so cool and I'll forever thank her for that. I just have a feeling that this album could blow NFR! (which I regard as The greatest album of all time) out of the water if she continues with this direction and don't worry - if it's something that Lana proves time and time again she always comes through we WILL get that synth masterpiece on LDR8 ladies and enbies! Though for now I just hope this album releases I highkey want it to blow Chemtrails away as the superior record this year even though I adore that record. I also wanna add that releasing a lowkey album like Chemtrails is a smart decision from her because after a career high (NFR!) - if you just keep going higher the fall won't be as great. Thanks for reading.

The song itself would be such a beautiful start to the album - it's her starting the healing process and it just feels natural

Blue Banisters feels like an opener to me tbh
