As if the Kintsugi - Fingertips run having the lowest streams from the album means anything regarding their quality  
 
When I'm going to work or biking I obviously won't listen to those as they're quiet and lyric-centric. I'd rather play Let the Light In or the title track.
When I'm on my bed with my boyfriend at night playing music we always play Fingertips. It's a delicate song for delicate moments, and those are rather rare these days, hence the "low" streams (which they're still millions and millions across all platforms).

i actually very much like having the interludes included on the album. there's something euphoric in jon batiste's that brings a lot of heat and adds to candy necklace's montage/ journey. it feels like it serves as a kind of rhapsodic release, and can also harken the parallel of dancing w the devil/ music industry etc. 

judah is a bit annoying to go thru, but what I like that it adds is probably Lana's side commentary thru the pastor as a kind of fleshing out a story of tulsa jesus freak's story continuance. and how the men she's been with, sometimes how she idolizes, finally becomes actually human.

and that there's this saying where i'm not you. when someone might project and assume you're one way, when you're only just going off who the other party is, and finally stepping away from that kind of man back towards an inner self-reflection and return to your actual self. 

the theme of spirituality on this album's just beautifully woven, from something being worshipped to convolution, to then being stripped away to the sound of Grandfather. 
 

The poll in fact shows that there are more Margaret fans than The Grants fans and Sweet fans, which is extremely worrying. Research has shown that Sweet fans are the most oppressed and socially isolated demographic on Lanaboards, and the most likely to suffer from major depression and comorbidities such as fibromyalgia, schizophrenia and iron deficiency.

Why are you always so abrasive when you’re defending your opinions? Pop culture is in a very particular wavelength where everything is meant to be consumed as fast as possible: songs are chopped up and sped to fit minute-sized videos and fancaps and also to suit the latest trends until the the next ones come along. It comes with no surprise that most people that dwell in the internet and are more likely to be exposed to Lana’s music aren’t quite inclined to listen to longer songs like Kintsugi and Fingertips when they’re the same people who propelled easier-to-digest songs like Boy’s a Liar Pt.2 to mainstream success. 
 
Longer, more introspective songs that have no interest in catering to the mainstream’s sensibilities and trends have always been a constant in music, ranging from artists like Björk and Tori Amos to Jeff Buckley and Radiohead among so many others, most of whom are clear influences and inspirations to Lana. It’s ok to not like them but to use spotify stats as a determining factor as to why an artist like Lana - who spent her entire career fighting to have the right to swim against the tide to the beating of her own drum - is being less successful is pointless. Every time people questioned why she was doing things a certain way instead of more obvious alternatives, she proved time and time again that following her gut and honoring her whims is exactly why she’s one of the most respected and celebrated artists working today. 

Omg Kintsugi and Fingertips are the cornerstones of this album for me 😭 I couldn't imagine it without them

Kintsugi and Fingertips are essential in Lana’s discography. The foggy examinations of grief, loss, memory and trauma with such delicate instrumentation as the sonic foundation are just lyrical pearls that deserve to go down in the songwriting history books. No one’s doing it like her.

calling kintsugi and fingertips unnecessary is so wild, THEY ARE THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE ALBUM

Over charging for vinyls has become too common. Idgaf if 3 were made, no PLASTIC DISC should sell for 10x the OG price

as long as i can play them, they'll never be worthless to me. they're still special souvenirs from a certain moment in time and i can feel happy about it whenever i play any of lana's exclusive records. it was cool having somwthing rare but i didn't buy thw records bc i thought they'd be rare so in the end it doesn't matter if the whole world has a copy. it won't affect my enjoyment.

its just a dent in the sleeve, so unless youre planning on selling it, its perfectly fine plus its the original pressing so that'll always be best. but i really wouldn't worry about the dent. it doesn't affect the record inside and half the records i buy show up like that. and idk why you'd be considered a "local" for not keeping a record in mint condition. records are meant to be enjoyed and that includes getting bent up somwtimes.

people on twitter like to lie for attention bc they didn't get hugged enough as children

Absolutely called me out and trust me I needed it 

bc as much as no one wants to admit it, deep down there is enjoyment in having something that is rare that everyone else wants

I'm such a fucking pick-me bitch like I'm not even planning on ever selling my UO UV copy but I'm lowkey highkey annoyed that my copy has now dropped in value lol.
 
What the fuck is wrong with me ?????????
