Colored watermelons with eyes
 

feeling blessed that God made me a woman so i can't hear any of those super subtle mixing issues but i can see a larger spectrum of colours 

What has she put in this, I can’t stop replaying it 

Wild watermelons that leave me sandy

I always feel bad when I see people aren’t liking the direction she’s going in. I respect all opinions and it sucks to be disappointed in your favorite artist’s releases, and I’ve tried to figure out why mid/post-NFR tracks sound so different from her older material. 
 
What I’ve decided is that, especially with the adoption of her spoken poetry, she said she likes almost freestyling and making very few edits to things—just letting them be what they are. I think she lived by this dogma in the beginning with AKA, where everything felt and sounded like it had spontaneous air in the mix. 
 
Once she was signed by a big label, naturally they try to boil it down to a concentrate—cut out any stray frequencies, smooth and condense her voice, have crisp instrumentals keen for radio and movie play, etc.
 
I had liked Lana’s music in the past, but I really became a stan with the release of Mariner’s and Venice Bitch, because, while I hadn’t heard much from UV or anything at the time, I felt I could hear her true artistry come through in those tracks, with their lo-fi, vocal-center approach. It captured the electricity of a live performance, of an artist creating and breathing in real-time that sounded so different from the slick, airtight productions on the radio or sleek, older material of hers that I was familiar with.
 
I think she’s leaned even further into that after her work with Jack. We’ve heard her collaborators say that she’s done vocals in one take, or how she literally wrote and recorded White Dress on the spot while Jack played some chords. I think, above all lately, she values organicness—the feeling of catching lightning and bottling up that emotion right away, to present it as it was at that moment in time, and not revisit it. While I agree it has led to some more human “errors” (slightly wrong notes, lags in timing, fuzzy gear playback), I feel this is all so hyper-intentional in her art now, almost like a protest of the modern music industry. It’s almost like her trajectory has been a circle to get back to that spontaneity she felt with AKA.
 
I really appreciate that art and feel it is true to her acoustic, songwriting soul, but at the same time I see how far that is from the BTD—and even Honeymoon—sound, for example. I definitely feel empathy for the people who don’t love it as much and just wanted to type out my thoughts in case it resonated with anyone. Artists’ journeys have always been so interesting to me, and Lana’s is certainly one of the most uniquely interesting ones we’ve had to witness, as one of the first true viral stars to reigning indie/alt queen of the music counterculture.

I love it so much

I think this song works perfectly for its purpose of being a soundtrack song for Euphoria, and that is all  

What about the mention of colors in various songs and Picasso in Beautiful? And before the name 'Blue Banisters' was announced 'Rock Candy Sweet', so there has to be a close relationship.

hmmm i think i can actually imagine it between if you lie down with me and beautiful or between thunder and wildflower wildfire.  lots of songs on the album had breakup/toxic relationship vibes so i believe it could've been meant for it.  but then that is a reoccurring theme for her, so that also says nothing. 

HOT SUMMER AND COLD WATERMELON 
 

it gives on&on&on vibes to me, a bit of an "unfinished" or "concept" feel, but for what it is i think i enjoy it

the alt ver prob has some different lyrics? I remember boz teased "I think that you're sweet like rock candy 
wild like beaches that leave me sandy"
it could've been on accident but could b the other version
also I cant imagine this song being on bb or cocc in a million years

This has been the most exciting single drop for me since NFR era. I don't think it's as good as some of the highlights on COCC and BB, but it's been a While since I've been listening to a Lana single on repeat and absolutely loving it. This song made me realize even more how the BB singles were a big disappointment for me lol, the feeling I got with this song just wasn't there for the BB singles. Or even the COCC singles. (only ended up having my COCC title track obsession when I was listening to it in the context of the album lol)
