"Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" Spoken Word Poetry Album - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[peach perfume 710]

goddamn the instrumentals for bare feet on linoleum made me feel like i was fucking vibrating holy shit.

 

this entire audiobook was so, so beautiful. i'm in love

[PARADIXO 33,091]

They could check the whole project on Spotify too if they liked the first poem. Lana would still make the money

 

ehh, i mean i get you and i wish it was on spotify but a lot of sales would get lost if this was on streaming platforms. hope this is as successful as it can!! i'll try to buy it tomorrow. i surrender now

THE EXPERIENCE!!! I cannot believe I cried. She found some way to make poems she wrote from recent to two years ago be so relatable to the point of voyeurism. Sportcruiser did it for me but they were all so unique. Jack was essential to this project. Tessa Dipietro is so funny, and SALAMANDER!!! UGHHH I knew I had a reason to suspect it, its one of the tops. Land of 1000 Fires is witchiness in a bottle and its a beauty, My Bedroom was so artful. I could keep going but I also want to read everyone's reactions so that's what I'm gonna do. This was BREATH TAKING

So if I buy the audiobook on Apple Books, can I see it in my iTunes like a normal album?

 

OR can I download it somehow and add it to my iTunes?

 

if you buy it on iBooks, it will show up on ur iPhone on the built in books app, but not iTunes/apple music

Absolutely adore this...the raw, yet aesthetic and existential imagery, paired with the instrumentation that matches perfectly to each poem...10/10

 

 

LA Who Am I To Love You, Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving, SportCruiser, Quiet Waiter-Blue Forever, Paradise is Very Fragile, Bare Feet on Linoleum are my favorites.

What’s the difference between this one: https://books.apple.com/fr/audiobook/violet-bent-backwards-over-the-grass-unabridged/id1525020806

And this one? https://books.apple.com/fr/audiobook/violet-bent-backwards-over-the-grass-unabridged/id1524961171

I just bought the audiobook on Apple Books and hate the formatting bc it says "Track 1" through "Track 14" and I went to my iTunes folders and now I can't separate them into tracks UGH I HATE AUDIOBOOKS.....

Nailed it. Excellent taste. I think truly the only ones that weren't FIRE KNOCK OUTS were just Never To Heaven and What Happened When I Left You.

[Thunder Revenant 20,977]

Her not putting the thing up digitally makes 0 sense and is super frustrating. I'm not going to buy an expensive CD or a fucking vinyl/cassette for a spoken-word album or "audiobook".

This is such a wannabe hipster bs.

[suicideblonde 2,702]

this is so beautiful im gonna go pre order the book rn

cried 10 seconds in to LA 

 

need to cleanse my mind bc i cnat stop thinking about the gabbie hanna tik tok audio when lana starts speaking fast 

[CHANEL #1 2,671]

I want to listen but I will not listen to the audiobook format. I just want mp3s I can have on my phone  

[American Whore 51,673]

I'm looking on the internet for download links now or ways to separate this goddamn single stupid fucking file. I paid for it 3 times (including digitally, and physically twice) and still can't have it fixed the way I want it to be. 


I AM NOT ASKING FOR A LINK HERE, PLEASE DON'T THINK I AM, I'M SIMPLY STATING MY FRUSTRATIONS WITH THIS

It's literally Simon and Schuster, not her

[American Whore 51,673]

like i'm simply frustrated bc it's all one single file and I don't know how to split it up and actually NAME the tracks myself. if anyone knows, please tell me and I'll do it myself if I have to

[May 13,313]

even her poems having a messy rollout

[Lustrouslines 5,202]

This bitch did what she had to fucking do! and to Jack, thank you for creating the best atmosphere for every poem. It wouldn’t be the same without each guitar.

[American Whore 51,673]

even her poems having a messy rollout

 

it's not her fault, i mean i'm just picky and want to have things exactly perfect in my iTunes, i'm a little ocd about audio files

When you first panic cus Land of 1000 Fires sounds so much lower quality, then that production kicks in and you realize we're in her cauldron. I smiled that whole poem. Lo-fi spell

[May 13,313]

it’d frustrate me to no end too, it’s small but it’d just be nicer to have it with the rest of her albums in the same place
