Heroin vs White Dress

I'm so intrigued by the Tammy Wynette / Stand By Your Man references progression. First reference was in Breaking Up Slowly with "I don't wanna live a life of regret / I don't wanna end up like Tammy Wynette," which I think was her saying she doesn't want to have to settle for and stand by a man who isn't enough for her (in contrast to Norman Fucking Rockwell). Add in this past month of her singing Stand By Your Man, seemingly genuinely, where at one show she said "Hey sometimes you just have to," but then she switches it up last night saying "but if you love him, you won't forgive him."

Oh we are getting that country album with a cover of Stand By Your Man as the closer

 

She looks amazing 

need the country album SO bad... the country roads cover would eat that snippet was so good

did she say 'but if you love him, you won't forgive him'? 

that's what it sounded like to me...

this is seriously one of my favorite unreleased songs 

i have one giant soundcloud playlist that just accumulates, and i make smaller playlists whenever i have certain ones i'm really into. it's really just organized by when i discovered each song lmfao

the gigwise review was kinda wacky tho...  there were a lot of typos/it wasn't well written and she basically framed the review as "who am i to have a say on how good it is, i can't make anything like that, let's give it a 10/10 because it's not my place"

"The break in ‘A&W’ undeniably takes from the epic ‘Off To The Races’, ‘Fingertips’ sings once more to ‘Sweet Caroline’, ‘Margaret’ steals sounds from ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’, ‘Fishtail’ from ‘How To Disappear’"

are any of those statements really that true...

We need more 100/100 from at least 3 publications on Meta 

The way they DID NOT COUNT GIGWISE is blasphemy

speaking of engagements, do we know anything about what happened with clayton johnson? are there any songs purported to be about him?

also thats the same reviewer as the chemtrails 30/100  what a clown

how could an album with white dress get anything less than a 70/100

spin it till you whip it into white cream, baby 

print it into black and white pages, don't faze me 

before you talk let me stop what you're saying 

i know, i know, i know that you hate me

"Fingertips" is top 5 for me. It makes me cry so hard. I don't understand how can some people hate that song. It feels like the rawer, more honest sister of "Hope is A Dangerous Thing..." and "Wildfire Wildflower".

These three are all in my top 10

I’m just gonna say it. Fingertips should’ve been on a poetry album, like, ten verses no chorus? Ma. I’m not sitting through that!!!!! 

naur the melody is so catchy. truly a superior song

i wish i could roam around lana's mind for 1 millisecond to be able to comprehend the logic behind these decisions  

i've also been thinking about how absolutely insane it is that she didn't make paradise an album with angels forever, hollywood, i talk to jesus, and obviously the title track... like

idk what pisses me off more, the way she shelved then butchered lmlylaw or the decision to waste this amazing instrumental by putting a madman yelling like a howler monkey all over it

spilled. i love the chemtrails lmlylaw but it really is just criminal what was done when compared to the original.

currently wishing pink champagne was on Ocean Blvd

the more i think about it, taco truck x vb is like venice bitch part 2. she's still our little venice bitch but she's stronger and more confident now

 

she says "if you weren't mine i'd be jealous of your love" and now he's not hers... such a statement to end the album with

I skipped JS interlude, but am interested in the tea about Sean disrespecting Lana.  It is the crux of songs from Chemtrails on. Why why why why why did Sean walk away, when he had Lana? It must go deep, the climate at the time, the anti cop sentiment, protests over cop abuse, perhaps feeling like Sean's loyalty to his badge was tested for dating Lana? If I had a life, it wouldn't concern me, I suppose. But Lana' music speaks to me so much, I suffer, too. I felt violated when Chuck was robbed of digiatal photos, etc. let alone the recent car breakin Lana made public. It hurt.

did sean walk away? i assumed lana did, when she found out he was engaged at the same time they were dating. and yes to the anti cop sentiments especially with text book like... was SEAN at the blm protests with her...? if not then who? and "old man river keeps rolling with or without him" him being sean, she'll keep rolling on without him.

omg you are so right i didn't even think about that lol it's way shadier than i thought. she's truly the last one with good intentions 

this is already one of my favorite lana songs ever... we DO need the UV sound back

it's like the same sentiment as black beauty

wait where is this from 

like verse 7 of fingertips i think? i'm not sure which verse it is but it's from fingertips

i couldn't handle it 

i was in Monaco

i couldn't hear what they said on the telephone

i had to sing for the prince in two hours

sat in the shower

gave myself two seconds to cry

it's a shame that we die

kintsugi really is the grower of the album. nobody is meant to like it the first time… but every listen is like rediscovering the song over and over

candy necklace was the grower for me, kintsugi hit immediately and it hit hard 

is fingertips the best song on the album? possibly

maybe the stuff in judah smith interlude about doing the right things as a father, partner, etc. is lana taking a dig at sean... especially after a&w. like he disrespected her to the extreme AND whoever he was engaged too.
