I once made a brave status here that said "if you loved Million Dollar Man but hate 24 - that means you never loved Million Dollar Man in the first place"

And I feel like the same thing goes for the universal Hope praise but mixed enthusiasm for these 3 singles. Give these songs a chance to change you

 

These are not for me, and that's okay, but Hope was different because it was the first song she'd really released in that style (piano + emotional, lyrically rich vocals). So it was acclaimed because it was a first for her, and unique in her discography.

IMO it doesn't work with these because 1. she's already done this, with Hope (and with Violets to an extent), and 2. none of these (including Hope) have any replay value unless you enjoy sitting and crying

Anyway before anyone tries to fight I'm not complaining - as I said, these are just not for me - but lbr how many of you sit around and listen to Hope on repeat? I feel like once the hype on these has died down, nobody will be listening to them.

to me ww is a bad bitch song for some reason, but the other two... i agree. returning to hope now, it's feeling less and less special in her repertoire. still loving it though

the soft rage of it is why it's a bad bitch song! the other two just feel sad to me but ww... there's some good emotion there

For me it's frustrating to listen to these because I think these songs had a lot of potential in terms of progression of the instrumentation, but it's all very ... dull and uneventful. I get that that's hOw sHe wAnTeD iT tO bE but why can't we have both? We used to have both

[Dark Angel 201,772]

i really like the chorus of text book, it sounds like the chorus of ride, live or die, and tv in black & white, a true self-referencing queen 

[prettywhenimhigh 49,312]

the banisters metaphor still kills me 

[Super Movie 51,641]

I think it'd be cool to have something like the instrumentals on Violet but with her vocals, especially since her lyrics this era read out like poems themselves. It's by far one of my favorite Lana projects in terms of production, and I feel like a music album similar to it with an ambient vibe/vocal style would be stunning, although I don't know if that would quite fit this upcoming record or not. 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,663]

for those not connecting to the songs, singing them brings them even more to life. 

[The First Who Ever Did 174]

Don't tell me we're now starting to tear these three superb masterpieces apart. I have been sitting with them for a week and adore all three more than anything on COCC.

does anyone get 60s girl group vibes from text book's chorus bc im vibin  ya got a thunderbird mah daddy had one too lets rewrite history i'll do this dance w you 

[Furor Poeticus 16,329]

Some of the Violet instrumentals were too good not to be a part of a full song. Imagine a something incorporating Quiet Waiter on Blue Banisters

Wel, 'hope' is in my top 3 LDR favorite songs so  Plus it recently crossed 100M Spotify streams. The replay value of it all

I mean whatever floats your boat but I would say you're in the minority here. Plus it's been out for 3 years so 100m is understandable.

I'm not attacking Hope, I LIKE Hope, but my point was it's just not the type of music most people would put on repeat.

Or maybe I'm just a crackhead
