when they replace the wawawawawaw at the end of living legend with an electric guitar solo… let’s manifest 

Why would you manifest taking out the best part of the song

I wonder if the version we have is just an early demo cause the lyrics makes no sense to me (even though I love them). It almost feels like she's singing to a lover or something. Also the "darling I never meant to defy you" and the bridge(s). It almost feels like a frankenstein of a song. Maybe that Jane girl was just an inspiration but it's not actually about her entirely (but I think she calls her living legend on the UV booklet too so Idk)

i really wonder if

Spoiler

(sorry to get invasive esp if i'm totally wrong lol) jane is a sober friend? and lana might have "defied" her by relapsing in the past?

I think the reason I was sort of shocked/mixed on

Text Book opening the album is because it's such a heady, complex song. I mean, I've seen the essays in the lyric thread. To this day, I still don't have the entire song figured out, but it's pretty obvious after some time that it's a mix of daddy issues, Sean, and politics, which are all blended up in the very first song of the album. Then add the tempo/genre changes. It's a lot for the listener. 
 

 Honestly, that song alone will provide most lazy reviewers enough material for a review. 

 

But honestly, Text Book and Blue Banisters opening the album is very intense. Almost like "You in or you out?". I'm really looking forward to hearing it all together as a whole, the way Lana intends us to.

 

Spoiler

Yeah I never played Text Book next to Blue Banisters until today but thematically Lana's choice makes perfect sense. The 10-second silence at the end of Text Book also makes the abrupt/sudden opening of Blue Banisters smoother. But yeah I have to admit that opening the album with these two introspective and far from "accessible" songs will turn some people - mostly the general public - off but, hey, she's telling her story so I trust her. At the very least the opening songs (TB/BB/Arcadia) will set the tone for the general sound and songwriting on the album. I'm so intrigued by the mysterious 5 new songs.

could be out here in Australia in 2 hours 

[Super Movie 51,641]

Something I just noticed is that 3/4 of the unreleased songs on the album are from 2013 (I'm pretty sure that Wild On You and Cherry Blossom were even done in the same session that year)

wild on you feels so breezy n the verses are beautiful but i honestly dislike the writing on the chorus and i know some people will agree with me. it feels like a parody of herself in some ways. other than that the song is one of my faves. but i do wish wild one was on the album.

Maybe those songs were considered for the original UV and now that she broke up with S*ean and Chase she's in the right mood to revisit this iconic era

therefore this album has technically been in the works since 2013 imagine the things she's working on rn that might come to fruition on a 2030 album
