Thunder (demo) vs UFB

maybe the real trio is the friends we made along the way

It's gotta be Arcadia, but I would like a 2-song medley that segues into The Greatest. It kills me that THE quintessential 2020 song was not performed in 2020.

Sad Girl vs Kinda Outta Luck

Revisiting the STUNNING alternate Arcadia video now with the whole album in mind. It's such a glorious statement of honesty, openness, reflection, surrender, transcendence. Golden sunlight evoking truth and clarity, magic hour evoking an ending or transition, as she floats in the clouds over her beloved Topanga mountains, in all white like a high priestess, an ascended deity. The emotions in her face dancing from sentimental reflection to penetrating wisdom to pure joy and irreverence. Always present, straight to the camera, inviting you in, asking you to accept her exactly as she is. She is in her power, released by singing her truth. This describes the album as well. The video embodies it perfectly.

Black Beauty vs Blue Banisters

Beautiful on Colbert would bring the house down

whoa this was attached to the longer Beautiful... did I miss that we had seen the full frame image and not just the closeup crop?? It fits the mood of the album so beautifully

Ride vs Thunder (album version) or Arcadia (single)

Cruel World vs Born To Die

Fucked My Way Up To The Top vs Art Deco

Ultraviolence (demo) vs Freak Like Me (demo 1)

Black Beauty vs Bartender

Lust For Life demo 1 vs Yosemite

Honeymoon vs Nectar of the Gods

I smoked a joint and watched the video after UFB appeared and it was seriously the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It wasn't the weed.

Dum Dum vs The Trio

next single Thunder confirmed

Fine China vs Cherry Blossom

I wrote something here before but later felt ick about it. I do think that it's healthy and valuable to be able to critique your fave, coming from a spirit of appreciation and respecting the work enough to take it seriously. But when you love them so much it can feel gross.

UFB vs Yosemite

Unidentified Flying Bill vs Thunder
