    Name another singer/songwriter who name drops friends and family as prolifically?

     

    The likes of Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin, and St. Vincent just to name a few

    Like what does the name dropping add to Blue Banisters other than to make it like a personal diary entry? 

    Who cares if Chunk is baking a damn cake; that line (for example) adds nothing to the song and it's not exactly a showcase of spectacular lyricism. 

     

    Aside from making it personal and imo giving the songs a classic twang - I'd argue that the context of #that lyric paired with the rest of the things she mentions in that verse fit so perfectly. She basically mentions the good things that are happening around her: her "banisters" being painted green and grey that allude to her being in a lively but still neutral ascending state (hence the banisters metaphor), her dogs playing around, chuck baking a birthday cake and a baby on the way (all positive good happy whatever things)  just goes to show how the people or things that you surround yourself with really affects you: and she ends that verse with the realization that her blue banisters are green and grey now. That's spectacular lyricism if you ask me... :wub:

    “He could see us in our splendor 

    all the things I couldn’t want for him” is an oxymoron unless she meant she didn’t want discrimination for him or for him to have the same love as her -it does not make sense 

     

    the line could refer to her wanting to get her father's approval for the relationship and to show him that the dude is capable of fighting the same battles as her - and the lyric after it explains her screaming for the things that weren't possible to desire from the relationship

    Why put it in the same chorus then?

    it’s disjointed and badly worded, BLM shouldn’t be in the song as a throwaway lyric it just sounds disconnected like she threw two sets of lyrics together.

     

    read through the lyrics the entire chorus makes sense

    I screamed for them is also very white saviour.

     

    that lyric has nothing to do with the blm lyric it connects to "all the things I couldn't want for him"

    Chemtrails had it's time to shine even if it was unfortunately short - a majority hate it for their own reasons but I'm glad Lana managed to put it out instead of shelving it because despite it's flaws, it's still a great body of work with a great concept and narrative to boot.

     

    As Lana said herself "Chemtrails" is like a standstill and I think everyone could agree - it's such a perfect album in between her discography that signifies what's come before it and what's to come after it, and the notion of which is very exciting. :wub:  

     

    After all Chemtrails graced us with God Dress and many great additions to her discography - but a change has come and we're so here for it ;)
