    Am I crazy to think Kintsugi should have been even longer :trisha: 

     

    I would have loved if there was more space to breathe between some of the verses. Like that little whistle passage alone could have went an entire minute and :trisha: 

     

    it’s still a perfect song but I need a 12 minute mix :trisha: 

     

    what brain rotted idiots didn’t like this again 

     

    Apollo 353 makes extended mixes of Lana's tracks on YT. Wait for that - their Norman Rockwell and Chemtrails stuff are brilliant.. exhibit A:

    Fingertips is hands down the worst song (released) she ever recorded and included on an album. 😴 I wanna like it but it really would have worked better as a poem. 

     

    Spoiler

    If you consider it from a mental breakdown perspective where she’s in an asylum and mumbling about her broken past, it’s more interesting. Also, how can you hate the introspection and princess-sound of it? Really get into the orchestra, it’s a haunting track

    I’m incredibly emotional with one of the songs right now. Apologies for pouring my thoughts into here rn.

    Paris, Texas has managed to capture what no other song was ever able to - in fact, I remember often trying to think of a song that could express this very specific feeling I’ve always felt but couldn’t really explain or even decipher. A feeling of longing, not for someone or something, but for home - not just in a spacial sense but also in an emotional one.

     

    5 years ago I moved from this smaller town here in Portugal to our capital Lisbon and it changed myself for the better specially after all the traumatic events that had happened in the years prior. Since moving, I have found a group of friends that I consider my family, I’ve straightened the ties to my mother and little brother even further (they’re still in our hometown) and I’ve had a lot of good and bad experiences living as a functional and independent adult - in all of them there was always this constant state of navigating in between places, people and experiences, in search for that ultimate feeling of belonging and rooting in a place or a perfect mental state or a fulfilling relationship or this illusion that I’m not growing old soon and still have a lot of vitality and life left. And yet, despite all of my complications as far as my past and my traumas go and all of the adversities the cosmos keeps throwing my way, there’s always this little fuzzy spark inside (intuition?) that keeps me traveling above the clouds in search for my own definition of home. It seems like it’s a journey that never ends - maybe that’s the point.

     

    And it’s perfectly depicted in Paris, Texas by the entire song but summed in two perfectly simple sentences “when you know, you know, it’s time to go”. It’s exactly that. What a tremendous gift this song (and album) is. It feels less lonely now. Thank you for that, Lana.

     

    Aww, just sending a little hug

    Preacher interlude notes and why you should consider it

    Spoiler

    The interlude is DEFINITELY Lana playing with the themes in his sermon to discuss her expression of lust through her career and how it may be viewed. It sounds kind of like she’s being condemned and she’s laughing at it all. Very unhinged.

     

    The Adam’s son line was very pertinent. Listen to the way the production behind his sermon changes as he speaks. It sounds like lore and canon within the Lana Del Rey story a la Paradise , perhaps a response from the “religious” man she sings about through her songs or maybe this is meant to be Jim

     

    also, I can see her likening herself to a God (the artist) in this in adapting his words as her own - Lana is speaking through the preacher in asking “how can you idolize me?” (Or whatever word he used) - fits with her calling herself Aphrodite in fingertips. This album is very much about lasting through time, escaping mortal bounds of memory and perhaps becoming infamous / god-like. It’s her testament to longevity

     

    Beyond that, if you still get the ick from the interlude bc religion/bigotry - consider listening to it in the frame of an American Horror Story episode. It truly is a journey and some of the intrigue comes from wondering if Lana’s included it because she agrees with his words or if she’s framing a narrative for her art . Hence, make it a narrative if u wish!
