After listening to the album many times, I still have no idea what this could be for. Nor the Amusement Park one

the part in bartender where she sings "i bought me a truck in the middle of the night (...)" reminds me of a kate bush song

But if you clown me without hurting me, you’ll be the first clown ever did

[WaitForLife 5,236]

I wonder why people put HTD as their least fave when it didn't leaked.

[yourboy 3,395]

Ever since the hype around In Your Car started from that one snippet alone I knew it would end up in disappointment. The snippet wasn't even that good, sounded really basic tbh, but y'all treated it as some kind of out of this world amazing totally unique masterpiece and now... thank god I never fell for that one.

Tbh me.. I never understood the hype around the snippet

[xxmissdaytonaxx 30,078]

idc that y’all say “love song” was a huge disappointment... just hearing the snippet lana gave us in HQ will be ENOUGH for me even if the rest of the song sucks.

[yourboy 3,395]

Oh is that what were doing now? Trashing Love Song?

 

Cause much better songs are available, why bother? Lel

[takeitdoen 10,627]

Will the HQ versions have different lyrics and structure?

 

Listening to some of these songs in HQ might make me like them a little bit more (or a little bit less) but it's not going to make bridges or new lyrics appear out of nowhere.

SUCH TRUE WORDS. HQ will not save bad judgements.

maybe Doin' Time? someone who owned (or knew someone who owned, icr) the Sublime van said they had been contacted by Lana's management to buy the van

Disappointment for who? I will reserve judgement until the album actually drops, but for me, the preview for Love Song has a dumb name now had a simplicity to it which seemed dreamy, carefree, and certainly more relaxed feel than the snippets that preceded it. It really painted a feeling of painful rose-tinted nostalgia. It's not exactly what I thought it would sound like, but I'm very happy with it.

[Fingertips 72,034]

Love Song sounds exactly like the title....a love song. It isn't supposed to be explosive or overly cinematic. I luv it

[Chiunzhan 1,475]

Wow, we're pretty close to sept 

[Topaz 572]

Yeah I think the hype of Love song is why people don't like it now. 

 

I actually wasn't really interested after the snippet and thought I wouldn't like the song, but right now it's my favourite. It's such a sweet soothing song.
