manifesting this concept as a site theme

 
 

and i bet it was a serve main character moment 

I had to run to catch my train yesterday and I was running during the build up at the end of the new song and it honestly felt like I was in a movie LMAO would recommend 10/10 

Ocean Blvd on #1 here in Brazil

If the drums in the outro hit harder (like WFWF) i would have not been so catty towards Ms. Ocean Boulevard
 
But she just kinda falls flat, tho it’s still a lovely song. I know Jack isn’t the only producer but i’m sure it’s him brainwashing and whitewashing Lana into thinking it’s phenomenal.
 

Ok now you're pissing me off

Ocean Blvd won’t even be in the top 100 tbh . 

me liking both the comments that praise dykttatuob and the comments that criticize dykttatuob 

alright let’s be for real…if everyone was positive this thread would be boring. we need a difference in opinions 

Lisa Stone, Melodye Perry & Tata Vega

I want to like this so bad, I’ve been going back and forth all day. I can appreciate what’s being done but to me it’s very predictable and just “pretty”

Similar to with most of COCC and basically all of  BB, it’s not really pulling me in to listen again. I find myself making a point to turn it on, saying “that’s nice”, then going about my day 
 
Hoping it grows on me because I wanna see what y’all see in it  I’m just not a piano ballad girlie whatsoever 
 

Not this applying to her too  
 

Oh yeah, it’s a beautiful song but I am hoping that’s it’s one of the weaker tracks on the album, it’s essentially a yassified IYLDWM (which I’m completely fine with). I do prefer it over IYLDWM and LMLYLAW to an extent though, it’s like a more fully realized version of them  it sounds like a Hans Zimmer-ification of Lana’s past two albums 

For real. I do like the song as I said before but damn…people are just blindly throwing compliments and saying they love it and she ate etc. It’s a beautiful song, the lyricism of this era will be unmatched, but the production itself does feel BBish, as if we’re still stuck in a loop. The insiders were gassing this the FUCK up saying it was different from anything she’d ever done and her magnum opus and…lyrically yes (aside from the last 2 minutes being “don’t forget me” sounding like one of those weird upbeat pharmaceutical commercial song covers) but production wise? You start the song and it’s IYLDWM with *better lyrics and LMLYLAW with orchestra on top. I’m excited for the orchestra, the piano did not disappoint, and I heard the beautiful sound of actual drums somewhere in there but this doesn't feel completely different as people were saying. That’s not to say I didn’t give her 45 dollars at 10:14AM as soon as I found the preorder link but I am holding out hope for the album itself! 

Why do i not see a lot of people on here being critical of the new single… I really expected something more/different the way those insiders were hyping it up. It’s rly giving “i’ve heard this before” to me. Same tempo, structure, build up, etc as we can find on LMLYLAW, IYLDWM, BBS…
 
Why is Lana limiting herself to her comfort zone

Crack

It has a VERY similar vibe to Arcadia and IYLDWM. Don't think it genuinely sounds like Arcardia, but the comparison isn't unjustified.

i see the comparison because this single sounds exactly like bb x nfr. my first thought when the song started was “wow this sounds like it could be on nfr”. and then she started singing and it reminded me of bb because the melody and lyrics aren’t catchy, they’re more contemplative and slow if that makes sense

I think it's just the hype. It'll take a few days to come to the senses. The same thing happened with Let Me Love You Like a Woman 

the mobile formatting for this 😭

The random letters just all around the gif ….  

That insider who compared the song to like 7 other Lana songs was definitely right. 

To be honest i’m a bit disappointed. Yes she served with the visuals but Ocean Blvd sounds very Blue Banisters-ed. The second half of the song at least has some interesting instrumental and voice layering. But overall i’m not using her too much. 
 
I wanted something completely different than what we’ve heard from NFR. I’m sure there’s gonna be better songs on the album.
 

It’s IYLDWM plus LMLYLAW… which is fine

Idk. I guess I’m just kind of pathetic whore for UV/HM/NFR where I like more texture than strings and piano 

For me, it’s just OK.
