sadness is a butterfly

The lyrics are very moving and I actually teared up when I first listened to BB and read the lyrics through, but it’s been a skip ever since. I just don’t like the sound of that song.

I cannot stand do not really enjoy the BB title track, but I’m still excited to hear Fingertips. As long as Charlie and Chuck aren’t jumping into the pool I think the production of this album will be much better based on what we have heard so far. I’m ok with wordy as long as it’s not the same words over and over (my blue banisters, my blue banisters, my blue banisters)

I think she gave us just enough with that interview with the second part. And I am feeling very satisfied, and even more excited for this album on March 10 24. We have been truly fed this week with Rob and now this.

I like the idea of a third party perspective on a relationship of someone who means a lot to her. Giving me Last American Dynasty storytelling vibes I think Margaret will be a serve.

If Rob Grant can give us a single on the day of his album announcement, surely Ms Martinez can give us something We want the cherry and shes making us wait for the whole pie.

That promo video is so good. They all look so happy and Ms Del Rey looks incredible The end when they show the actual album cover is kind of . So many choices and that’s what they chose But if Rob likes it, I love it

Just ordered the signed CD because of this post….I mean it could happen

Copped both 7” Much cuter than the black LP and love the little covers with Lana When The Grants is a song about giving that family all my money in one week, I will understand.

Thanks for the suggestions! I do enjoy these indie girlies but their voices do tend to blend together for me a bit (Phoebe Bridgers, Lizzy McAlpine, Gracie…others) I like them all though!

She’s opening the Taylor show I’m going to so I’ll def give this a listen in the morning!

The way Spotify played a track called ‘Sleeping at Last’ after this one. The shade.

That was really beautiful More production than I was expecting, come thru Jack. I could imagine Lana singing over this track too. Maybe we get the deluxe and it’s LDR10 with her singing on all the songs

You have - Bruno Mars ‘When I was Your Man’. I never listen to Flowers but occasionally it will be in my head from TikTok and I don’t know the words because I don’t listen to it, so right after the “I can buy myself flowerrrrrrs” I hear the Bruno song. Apparently she got his blessing on doing a response song, but the question should have been should she make it, not can she. it’s obviously been a hit though so what do I know. (And I’m salty because I want SZA to get a #1)

I respect the dedication but I don’t have that kind of self control . I do put them all in inner sleeves and put the jacket in an outer sleeve, but they end up getting opened for sure.

At least TS did different covers and gatefolds for each variant (like Lana also is doing for DYK). And of course you can make them into a clock with the back covers if you want The variants all sound about the same, Blood Moon has a skip for me on Labyrinth. The Lavender probably sounds marginally worse than the others but it’s very close. They’re good pressings, no static.

I have no idea how my reply went in the same message but

Which one are you guys referring to as blue? Jade Green? I have all five, and kind of regret it because the album has not aged well for me. I was obsessed when it came out but I never listen to it anymore. omg I’m an idiot there is a blue one I almost forgot

Wow that Exocrine album is gorgeous. Your collection is impressive to say the least I have about 100 albums in my record collection, and maybe 3 CDs.

What’s everyone got on pre-order right now? I was thinking about it earlier and I think I have 7 -DYK (Pink) -DYK (Green) -DYK (White) -The National - First Two Pages of Frankenstein (Clear) -Niall Horan - The Show (Hazy Gold) -Niall Horan - The Show (Tri color) -Melanie Martinez - Portals (Pink/Black splatter)

The alt cover is superior. I wish it was on at least one of the 65 vinyl variants. This practice of artists not selling apparel outside of a bundle with a CD is annoying. It’s completely for charting purposes, like this album is not going to chart very high let’s be so serious.

I was just listening for RIOPY FLO again and it was really reminding me of George Winston who is an amazing piano player, if anyone is a fan of piano, check his stuff out. Grandfather is going to slay. The Wanderlust song by AK is a little more basic to me, plus the trap beatz. Which track is that one going to be sampled on again?

I just….TIWMUG is the best song on BTD……

The family heirlooms TikTok post just now with the album cover shoot Is that a chum bucket to summon the seagulls? I have so many questions.

1. Grandfather 2. A&W 3. The Grants 4. Taco Truck 5. Candy Necklace 6. Let the Light In 7. Fishtail 8. Peppers 9. Margaret 10. Ocean Blvd 11. Kintsugi 12. Fingertips 13. Paris, Texas 14. Jon Batiste Interlude 15. Sweet 16. Judah Interlude

In my own mind Grandfather is Lana speaking (Burnt Norton style) over that piano track. In reality I’m sure she will be singing and it won’t be that but that’s just how I’m hearing it now. And I still think it’ll be in my top 3.
