i'm ready for paris, texas cause that's actually a great film and very lana-like. the whole story seems like something from AKA

probably but if not she likely had friends that did that kind of work and deeply empathized with it

I love the final third of the song but I think I understand what you mean because to me it sounds heroic, hopeful, a little bittersweet, yet optimistic. And that runs contrary to "don't forget me"/"love me until I love myself"/"when's it gonna be my turn"

She should've covered Moon River and placed it on the album.

I don't dislike the song by any means but I still don't think it marries sound and lyrics in a way that makes it amazing. This was my #1 complaint with COCC and BB: very few songs on those albums get that balance right, at least in my (probably unpopular) opinion. One exception is BBS
For me, TUOB is in similar vein to songs like Textbook, Arcadia and Wildfire. They just all give me the sense that they are poems with musical accompaniment, rather than songs. IMO a song marries the two qualities seamlessly and these songs (including TUOB) just don't.
And this opinion has nothing to do with the meaning of the song - I grasp that as well as the next person, I think, and the meaning is very impactful - it's more the composition that I don't like.
So you know, for me, it's just okay. It's interesting because of the lyrics but do I want to sit and listen to it on repeat? No.

Blue Banisters is not the 9th album cause it's full of unreleased/leaked songs. Mystery solved. 

the outro sounds good but the rest leaves me wanting more like watercolor eyes. sounds pretty similar to cocc and bb but it's the title track so i suppose it's supposed to help transition the end of BB into whatever the rest of the album sounds like

idk but DYK (did you know), TUOB (tunnel under ocean blvd), and OB make the most sense.

wtf she's so big (already?)

Is that chuck's daughter?

goood i can't believe that Phoenix is a toddler already, I remember her being born

Guess I'll restart the convo over here by saying that it reminds me of a BB track , which I struggle to get into. I liked the choir in the backing vocals, or was it just that one woman going all out? Hmm -I did like NFR and COTCC though so I'm confused because this doesn't really sound like them to me

Feel like this is a sister track to Arcadia and If You Lay Down With Me

Im extremely into lyric interpretation at the moment and i did A LONG WORK breaking down the verses to share everything that i thought, so if you like that, just open the spoiler! (don't mind my english plz )
 

Not my fave but I like it. The orchestral ending of the song with the backing vocals is awesome and I really like that small sigh at the beginning, it's very evocative. Other than that i kinda want to ignore insiders going forward because they kill the initial excitement I would've had for the song on first listen by them overhyping it.

It’s basically Let Me Love You Like A Woman and If You Lie Down With Me put into a blender.
 
5/10
 
With that said, If You Lie Down With Me is VASTLY superior. 

the grants will set the record straight about daddy's money
 
or maybe some shit about colonizers and pilgrims (karmic lineage, arcadia)

I can’t tell whether The Grants will be a devastating and confessional track, a sweet tune for her family, or a fun addition that has some wacky elements (maybe lyrically or production-wise) to represent the different members of her family…much to think about

Off key.
