Let’s talk about hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it’s greatness. Her most honest and possibly most emotional song. Everything about it is perfect. From the lyrics to the stripped down production to the iconic title to the iconic, yes, iconic misunderstood cover that’s just a quick selfie of her smiling, referring to the line about how they write that she’s happy because she smiled on the lfl cover when she’s actually not. The “look, I’m smiling, here’s a quick black and white selfie” cover on a sad song that references how her smiling doesn’t mean she’s happy is honestly perfect. I can’t wait for the day people aren’t too afraid to recognize the beauty that is ‘hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it’.

 

Hot take: the people that call Hope her worst song aren't emotionally mature enough to recognise its greatness, its pain, and the greatness it has through expression of her pain. Hope is an extremely important song in her discography and those who don't see that are blind.

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,074]

oop i can see some bannings incoming

[WilshireBoulevard 5,419]

drag me but i will still delete that atrocity of a "song" and replace it with the superior Looking For America, just like any other individual with good taste x

 

You say hope sounds like it was written and recorded in a day when we KNOW that's literally what LFA is 

[kraljicabenzinske 11,122]

You did not mess with ITH

 

For ITH lovers (me) I made a (terrible) stormy/rain/piano/slowed edit of it a while back

 

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIheyROc5aA&t=7s  for anyone that's interested. Fair warning that I'm not good at editing music lol.

[love deluxe 8,514]

why do people seem to hate lana's piano ballads so much??? hope and change are both beautiful and important songs that deserve more recognition and LESS hate.

Doin' Time is a #1 hit and it doesn't have to have reached #1 anywhere for that statement to be true!
