    BoZ after walking in his front door, carrying in the mail that the postman delivered to his home earlier that morning. He carries in a long, yellow-white envelope addressed from a company named "TAP MANAGEMENT." When he opens the letter, he reads in all caps, "CEASE AND DESIST." He then deletes all of his social media and locks himself in his basement, feeding himself off of breadcrumbs and garlic powder.

    Boz on Tap Management's basement is the new Sia on Beyonce's basement :true:

    The Grants

    I wasn't sure about the intro at first though I did appreciate that it was unique, but it's definitely growing on me. It's fun to sing along with them before the song begins :trisha:

     

    Does anyone have any interesting theories or interpretations for why Lana chose to include it, or do you think she just thought it was cute?

    I love the intro so much, from the first time I heard it. I think it sounds comforting. Lana probably wanted the background singers to have their moment.

    There's also this thing in gospel music - call and response - where the singers sing a line, and then the church responds. So I picture Lana sitting in the church, then she hears this hymn, and the song is her response.

    I don't know if I worded this very well but I think my point was made  :silly:  

     


  3. I think the whole Judah Smith Interlude "controversy" was because some people were afraid that Lana was going to endorse this fundamentalist christian thing and it was going to subsequently 1. Look really bad for her  and 2. Disappoint many fans who really dislike the religion. I remember the whole meltdowns people had on r*ddit regarding that interlude. I guess some people underestimate Lana and think that she is totally alienated from the world we live in or the demographics of her fanbase, but honestly I think we need to trust her more. For instance

    The Grants is gospel inspired and she mentions a pastor, but it's not a fundamentalist world view. Just her faith in particular.

     

    For me, Judah Smith - Candy Necklace - Jon Batiste are the most intriguing songs on the record, because like, how is that supposed to work?? But, at the same time, Lana has an artistic vision and we'll only understand it when we listen to the album in full. I don't think it's neither fundamentalist christian nor making fun of the pastor (I assume he listened to the track or at least knows he's being featured on the album), and I'm sure it will make sense eventually.

    Anyway but in my french vanilla fantasy Lana is going to star in a musical next year, have a baby, discover yoga and kabala, dump the christian themes and release her Ray of Light :w8ing:
