Every time I listen to the album, I have some unexpected special moments. Today it was actually "Dealer" that caught me, even though I had heard it a few dozen times before. It was such a perfect listening experience like 110%. I don't know if I'll hear it that way again, but I understand now why it performs so well.

And why it has a higher user score than any other album on metacritic? https://www.metacritic.com/browse/albums/score/userscore/all/filtered

I wonder if there really is a song called "Trail Of Tears" and what it would sound like.

I don't know who she is, but I noticed that she only wears her witch hat when reacting to Lana.

Let me do what I do Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness I can turn blue into something Beautiful Beautiful is the key track of this album.

Once or more I cried to Arcadia, Beautiful, Thunder, Cherry Blossom, I Talk To Jesus, Wait For Life, How To Disappear, Hope is a dangerous thing, Shades Of Cool, Black Beauty, Life Is Beautiful and Pawn Shop Blues

Has anyone noticed that BBS contains at the beginning a sample from The Trio by Ennio Morricone? So there is a connection to the interlude.

It's kind of funny that some people (e.g. AJayII yesterday) think the voice of Miles Kane is that of Lana, because he's nowhere mentioned.

I'm sorry to disappoint, but in the live chat she said:

what flop era? blue banisters is still at the top of iTunes worldwide album charts: https://kworb.net/aww/

A nice summary of the live chat. She looks so pretty!

They should have better asked Lana

But the gap is not big. Probably the order of songs plays a role, not everyone listens the album to the end.

Spotify streams from day 2 after the album release. So which new songs make the running? (* released earlier this year) 1. Blue Banisters* 11.095.791 2. Arcadia* 8.944.744 3. Text Book* 8.357.880 4.

Sweet Carolina 366.860 IYLDWM was promoted on some "new music" lists I think, so it got a special boost.

I think this was more of a joke, because the vinyl production took so long.

Someone on ig said it could be the californian politician Kevin McCarthy , but I don't know how much is behind it.

I like to think so, since she's in her folk phase right now. And her work is full of such references that we may not have uncovered all yet.

Some more photos and a short video of the aircraft-towed banner and another video

A German radio station for young people is going to play it this evening. It's a bit surprising, but I like it. https://www.sputnik.de/sendungen/firstplay-100.html

or "mommy" in cherry blossom. Right after the comment, she sang the song.
