    guys maybe Lanas issue with leaks isn't bc of money? i mean it's prob what her team is concerned w,

    but Lana doesn't really seem to care about success, she just wants to make her art.

    Drawing from my own experiences only, I'm guessing it's more about the feeling of intrusion, having us all listen to her intimate thoughts and stories before she decides that she wants us to. Even if it's just three weeks. 

    idk it's just a thought and I still listen to them, but I do have a massive amount of respect for anyone who manages to wait until the release

    Of course it's not abt money, she doesn't care abt that tbh

    My attempt at transcribing Sweet:

     

    Stars in my eyes
    Hiking up Griffith
    Thinking about
    Who ?
    Get set in the midwest
    Wish I could tell you now

     

    I wrote you a note, but I didn't send it
    Cause that's the best method
    The women here taught me about
    What you don't really understand
    I've got ? In my head, stars in my eyes

     

    I'm a different kind of woman
    If you want some basic bitch go to the Beverly Center
    And find

     

    I'm sweet
    Barefeet
    If you wanna go where nobody goes
    That's where you'll find me
    In the sweet North Country
    If I'm not there come to house on Genesee

     

    What you doing with your life, do you think about it?
    Do you contemplate, where we came from?
    Lately we've been making out a lot, not talking bout the stuff
    That's ? very hard of things
    Do you want children, do you wanna marry me?
    Do you wanna run marathons in long beach ?
    I've got things to do like nothing ?
    I wanna do them with you, do you wanna do them with me

     

    If you want someone then just call me up
    And remember where I'll be
    Sweet
    And barefeet
    You can find me where no one will be
    In the woods somewhere, in the night, ?
    In the night
    In the sweet North Country
    If I'm not there come to my house on Genesee

     

    Thank you, now leak the rest untagged if you did leak the others :kiss2:

    So you say there's a chance for us...
    Should I do a dance for once? 
    You're a family man
    But... but...

     

    Do you think about heaven?
    Do you think about me?
    My pastor told me 
    When you leave all you take
    Is your memories

     

    And I'm gonna take mine of you with me
    I'm gonna take mine of you with me

     

    So many mountains too high to climb
    So many rivers so low, but I'm
    Doing the hard stuff, I'm doing my time
    I'm doing it for us, for our family line

     

    Do you think about heaven?
    Do you think about me?
    My pastor told me
    When you leave all you take
    Is your memories

     

    And I wanna take mine of you with me
    I'm gonna take mine of you with me
    Yeah, I'm gonna take mine of you with me
    Like Rocky Mountain High, the way John Denver sings

     

    My sister's first born child
    I'll take that, too, with me
    My grandmother's last smile
    I wanna take that, too, with me
    It's a beautiful life
    Remember that, too, for me

     

    Thank you :kiss:

    I've transcribed the lyrics to Fingertips but I can't make a couple of lyrics out. Any thoughts?

      Reveal hidden contents

    When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags
    Thinking I wish I could extrapolate some small intention
    Or maybe just get your attention, for a minute or two

    Will I die, or will I get to that ten year mark
    Where I beat the extinction of telomeres
    And if I do, will you be there with me
    Father, sister, brother
    Charlie stopped smoking, Caroline will you be with me
    Will the baby be alright
    Will I have one of mine
    Can I handle it, even if I do
    They said that my mind
    It's not fit, or so they said, to carry a child
    I guess I'll be fine

    It wasn't my idea the cocktail of things that twist neurones inside, but without them I'd die
    They say there's irony in the music it's a tragedy I-
    See nothing creeking in

    Give me a mausoleum in Rhode island
    With dad, grandma, grandpa and Dave who hung himself real high
    In the national park sky

    It's a shame and they're crying (???) get to you, save you
    If I take my lamp, find your astral body
    Put it into my arms
    Give you two seconds to cry
    Take you home, I-
    I'll give you a blanket so your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side

    Cause baby I,
    Ran through a time when I felt you were doing it
    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

    When I was fifteen, the next door neighbours did a drive by
    Pulled me up by my waist-long hair to the beach side
    I wanted to go out like you,
    Swim with the fishes he caught on long island beaches
    But sometimes it's just not your time, Caroline

    What kind of mother was she to say I'd end up in institutions
    All I wanted to do was kiss Erin Greene and say bye,
    The lake twisting lime into the drinks that they made,
    Have a babe at sixteen, the town I was born and die
    Erin ended up dead and not me
    With the folks (???) send me away never to come back
    Exotic places and people to take the place of being your child

    I give myself two seconds to cry
    Let it crash over me like the waves in the sea
    Call me Aphrodite as they bow down to me
    Sun bather, moonchaser, queen of empathy
    I give myself to seconds to breathe
    And go back to being the singing queen
    I just needed two seconds to be me

     

    Any chance you’ve transcribed The Grants and Sweet? Or could you do it for a fellow LanaBoards member? :smile3:

    So, I caved in and listened to the three leaked songs... Huge LDR fan, btw, since I first heard Blue Jeans in 2012!

     

    Preface: I loved Did You Know that... single and thought it was her strongest single since White Dress. I wasn't as smitten with A&W  as much as everyone else was, but I did appreciate it's Radiohead-ness and the sheer craziness of the second half. It's a different sound for her. Most of all, I'm just happy it's not a piano ballad (being her first track with a beat since, like, Doin' Time, if we don't count The Trio, which don't get me started...)

     

    Thoughts on the leaks: The Grant is a strong opening. It didn't amaze me as much as Ride, Born to Die, White Dress, Cruel World or Norman F. Rockwell, but on a first listen, I prefer it to Love, Honeymoon, and definitely Textbook, which is her worst opening (and worst album) ever. I'm happy with The Grants and love that there's already three songs on this album better than anything on BB. The opening with the choir is very Grammy friendly. Like an intro to a really strong, mature record.

     

    BUT, I thought Sweet was boring AF and Fingertips is outright unlistenable. A total skip for me already. It sounds to me like rambling backed by an orchestra... These tracks just confirm that Zachary Davis is the worst producer Lana has ever worked with . Bring back Dan, Rick, Hayne, or any of her old producers. Or just let Jack produce everything. I'm hoping his production skills will be on point on the 11 tracks he's (allegedly) credited on. Because if Zach D. has more say on this record, then Ima have it on the bottom of the list along with BB.

     

    Also, why would you put Sweet as song number 3 on the record when it's SO SO BORING? Ugh. She's like obsessed with Zach, and he literally produces her most boring and unmemorable songs ever...

     

    I’mma smack a bitch out.
    No Sweet slander! :oprah3:
