ur right theres not one thing to like theres a million things to like 

omg this topic is dead and it's been a month after the album.
 
well done ben. not even a music video to keep us talking.

Did the same on Sunday with the grants and kintsugi. It was honestly a very spiritual experience. It was while I was going for a walk and I saw a cardinal and just broke down lol. This has become a healing album for me which NFR kinda was too but not to the transcendental level of this album. 

okay i like paris texas now. it makes me think of a mario water level

Still obsessed with this album  I didn't go back to her other albums yet since this was released, though I did add some of the recent unreleased (Pink Champagne, Lake Placid) to the mix.

I really enjoy this album. Lana's positive, social and political lyrics are very good, I wish she would write about these topics again at some point.

i’ve been listening to god bless america and all the beautiful women in it sooo much lately it’s such a sweet spring jam,
underrated little gem 

One month after, I must confess Fingertips feels way too personal for my liking, in the sense that it feels like I'm violating her privacy by reading her diary lol but I do think it's really beautiful and I'm glad we got it!
I just don't feel very comfortable listening to it that much  
 
Other songs, like The Grants and Kintsugi, despite being also personal I can relate to, so even though they might destroy my mental health, I keep coming back to them so I can cry

i

 
went to paris

 
texas

you're such a naughty boy, why u takin that polaroid ?
 
paris is such an iconic song

Not tonight
LAKE PLACID

 
The way I hated that VB remix and now it's one of my faves on the album. I actually like it more than Taco Truck and original VB.

Her little burst of rage on “I couldn’t handle it, I was in Monaco, I couldn’t hear what they said on telephone”… I dare to say the most powerful moment on fingertips. They way she quickly goes back to the softer tone…

I wish someone could make a Lana AI cover of no excuses by Alice In Chains holy fuck I’d do anything 

Hello dear friend!
 
I'm definitely sorry things ended up like this, unfortunately. Know that in the pre-release period, your banter was the best and that it definitely distracted some of us while we waited for the album. It was healthy and did not harm anyone!
 
You covered Dancing Queen and until yesterday I listened to it a lot, always so emotional. Thank you for fulfilling my request. I confess that my desire was to keep asking for more and more songs, but I wanted to let the people here have fun too - I didn't even know that these attacks happened.
 
Again, thank you very much. If you go back with the channel or put your songs on any platform, please let me know. And if you need anything, let me know too. Just never let the envy or meanness of others affect you.
 
Hugs!

My thoughts on this are that this album is the rawest, the most sincere, the most personal thing she has ever put out. There’s so much to relate to or to think about, whether it be family themes, trauma, love, loss, friendship, observing the world, evolving, building one’s life. It’s just so heartfelt and this is why the vast majority of us love it. In 2021, literally none of those 80 minutes existed and she managed to craft them all. It’s incredible because of how much emotion there is in every single minute of that record, it’s incredible to think all of this could have never been created and it still was. I think it’s not moving in the exact same way as her older work was, because I think what she used to do was simpler and maybe more directly impactful so it got more to the point: I think the structures were more clearly delineated, the melodies too, the lyrics were less enigmatic, there was definitely more world-building, and I miss this older style too sometimes. It’s hard to explain, but I think we can all agree she doesn’t make songs like Old Money or Dragonslayer anymore, without being able to pin down what it is exactly there used to be and there can’t be anymore. But her new music has a lot of qualities and I think more of us will be glad she took that path when the undeserved Chemtrails / Blue Banisters hate fades away. I personally hope she’s going to continue to explore whatever she feels like exploring because I’ve been satisfied with and deeply moved by all of her albums. I would also love for her to go back to her lower register, to starting electric guitars again, or to do songs that have bridges with a different chord progression than the verses (an element that used to really enrich the songs up until the Honeymoon era), but I think it’s important to realize the worth of what we got and to be thankful for it and for the unique path she has taken. There’s so much we got (including her unreleased work) and so much that we’re going to get and we can not even imagine yet.

Fingertips right?

Don't call me angel 

OMG idk if anyone brought this up already but what if Dark Paradise is about Aaron Greene? I just realized the lyrical parallels between the pre chorus of dark paradise and her singing about Aaron in fingertips. In Dark Paradise Lana sings: 
 
And there's no remedy for memory, your face is like a melody
It won't leave my head
Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine
But I wish I was dead (dead, like you)  
in fingertips, lana revealed how:
 
“Aaron ended up dead and not me”
 
So what if the person Lana is grieving in Dark Paradise Aaron? Someone tell me if I’m being delusional 😭

it’s such a sad topic because like she’s such a genuine person and i just wish her the best. hearing those songs rlly hit hard and i want her to just have an amazing life with someone who truly cherishes her  i just feel this intense feeling of empathy for her bc she’s been through so much. i was gonna do an analysis on fingertips but there’s so much to unpack and i kept getting emotional so it’s practically impossible lol

Kintsugiana and Fingerticia hit really hard

But without them, I'd die 

But without them, I'd die 

But without them, I'd die 

But without them, I'd die 

But without them, I'd die
