THE ZODIAC SIGNS AS COCC SONGS
 

Aries: Wild at Heart (passionate, adventurous, evades routine)

 

Taurus: Let Me Love You Like a Woman (serene, soft, ruled by Venus)

 

Gemini: Dance Till We Die (penchant for fun, duplicitous first 3/4 to last 1/4)

 

Cancer: Yosemite (sensitive - “burning at both ends,” nurturing, loyal)

 

Leo: Chemtrails Over the Country Club (warm and dynamic w/ an appreciation of the material meets celestial world)

 

Virgo: For Free (peace in nature or the natural state of the world, methodical, and traditional)

 

Libra: White Dress (aesthetic visions, equality-prone re: “men in music”, idealistic)

 

Scorpio: Tulsa Jesus Freak (sensual, bold + dark, slight sarcasm/kitsch)

 

Sagittarius: Not All Who Wander Are Lost (adventurous, spontaneous, optimistic)

 

Capricorn: Breaking Up Slowly (pragmatic, enduring, sense of responsibility to address the situation)

 

Aquarius: Dark But Just a Game (inventive, eccentric, free-spirited, wanting to avoid conforming to fame)

 

Pisces: White Dress (dreamy, devoted, reflective, hopeful)

 

i was waiting for this post! didn't she mention during the pre-pre-release thread that she was planning an album where each song would fit a certain zodiac sign? i was eager to hear what songs would suit each sign and i think your list is quite on point! white dress + libra was not something i had thought, but i can kinda see it now. there is also something really scorpionic in it i think, must be the emotion in her voice and the nostalgy that is present in the lyrics

This album and the tracks live in my mind rent-free and I couldn't be happier 

[Future Jazz 8,940]

it's the way White Dress has the chaotic, utterly sad tone of Fine China and the heartbreaking retrospectiveness of I Talk To Jesus at the same time for me

Any other people who worked in restaurants in their FEELS over white dress? I hated this song first listen and now I'm crying over my waitress nostalgia. Everything about this song perfectly fits how I feel about those days 

I miss it  except our uniform was all black lol 

[Future Jazz 8,940]

Yosemite outsold every song on Lust For Life 

[FallingCherry 7,731]

NFR starts as a morning album and ends with hope, a self-reflective song that’s better to listen to at night. COTCC starts with a self-reflective song that’s better to listen to at night, and ends with For Free, a song to begin a new day.

Omg I remember this... I love it 

Anyways, last night I had trouble falling asleep cause I had Wild at Heart stuck in my head on repeat... she did it! 

Can’t wait to replay this album all day long while cleaning the house!

Love that many reviewers are noticing the narratives that are present in the lyrics and throughout the references and repetition  COCC has a lot of story to it, maybe her most directly sequenced album for me narratively.

 

(Examples being White Dress, Yosemite, For Free, Breaking Up Slowly, Dance till we Die, etc and the way she looks to celebrities in the past for authenticity and self questions her own + her fame, and even uses her repeated phrases like 'for free' 'no candle in the wind'... also COCC, LMLYLAW, NAWWAL, WAH, etc. about redefining her use/worth and values as an artist and person and lover)

 

I think COCC is getting a bad rap rn for how its less lyrically precise or flowery than NFR which made kind of sweeping statements, but there really is a "life lived" here, as Lana said, and although I can understand her hesitation in calling the album done, there really IS a life lived.

 

Also, hate or call NFR overrated all you want, It did some serious heavy lifting IMO in getting many places to see her as a serious artist now, and the goodwill doesn't seem to have been lost in the last year. COCC is an album that requires repeat listens and attentive ears to piece together how its not 'just another Lana Del Rey album' (looking at you Alexis Petridis from The Guardian) and i could easily have foreseen everywhere tearing this album apart for 'how far away from NFR it is'

 

This is an amazing summary of the album

The audacity of not voting for COCC

[CyberCherry 2,039]

I finally finished reading all of the pages of this thread, started at 6:00pm and now it's almost 10:00pm  I don't regret it though, I loved reading everyone's thoughts and opinions sm

The way this album hugs me emotionally is surreal, for the first time I forgot to take my anxiety meds and have a smoke 

[maysparkle 2,382]

I’m really hearing the Joni Mitchell and Mazzy Star/Hope Sandoval and the Warn Inventions influence on CoCC. What a treasure to listen to, so delicate and lovely ❤️
