i really hate to say it but...i'm kind of underwhelmed by Cinnamon Girl. I still love it, but it's really more a mid tier track

Bartender is not bland, y'all need to get your ears checked.

[lazybooklet]

My top 4:

1. Cinnamon Girl

2. Venice Bitch

3. California

4. Happiness is a Butterfly

This album is so consistently good though all the other songs would be #5 for me

In my honest opinion, it's her blandest-t-t  piano track ever. I can see why y'all like it... but I don't like Tori Amos or Kate Bush at all so...

Well, considering that is in order, and there's a 15-30 spots separation between them, it's just logical it didn't make it.

I know but still. That masterpiece deserves better. 

[lets ride]

california is so breathtaking, like i'm sorry but yall realize LANA DEL REY released a song called CALIFORNIA and gave us a timeless, heartbreaking desperate-love love ballad touching every note of classic rock, invoking the state's evergreen tropes and nostalgia to then lace it through the entire piece……… or………………….. lana del rey, norman fucking rockwell! (2019), "california". a reference to be distantly admired for the rest of time. 

 

every time i hit this song again i have to clench my…..…teeth. fist.

agreed. much preferred the original snippet. i realise it "wouldn't have been cohesive" necessarily but i wanted that heavy bass and louder vocals

That's the only part I don't really dig that much. The "bart-t-t-tender" one.

I feel like Change drags a little at the end, but that's just my opinion. Riverside is so gorgeous

 

Also, you're from Buenos Aires? Hiii

The Bol purple vinyl was a scam

Whew I just blasted Happiness is a Butterfly while driving and it really hit me. Reminds me so much of an ex, like I knew it wasn’t gonna end well but I was still with him. God damn Lana.

also it is only logical people skip songs we've had for a year

[FallingCherry]

I would like to thank Lana for NOT releasing the album in March. It's kind of selfish but it came out at the perfect time of my life. I don't necessarily think that everything happens for a reason but considering what's happening in my life right now, there was no better time for the album to come out. There's nothing better than being able to relate to so many songs from an album at the time it comes out. So yeah again I know it's such a selfish thought but I am so glad it came on August 30. It's also funny that each of the singles (excluding Doin' Time) came out at the perfect time too for me. I guess I was extremely lucky this era. Thanks so much Lana.
