ALSO HOLY SHIT I forgot to mention this and i'm curious if anyone else thought she was gonna go here....

In Blue Banisters I thought she was gonna end the verse like this:

"Cause there's a man that's in my past, there's a man that's still right here, he's real enough to touch in my darkest nights, he's SEAN" 

 

LMAO I seriously thought she was gonna name check and I SCREAMED but then she said "shining" instead of Sean and I cooled off but DAMN can u IMAGINE

The other POV of BB:

Said I'd come back every May,

So here I am, back I came 

To paint your banisters blue, 

All my promises, ooh 

Let me fix your weathervane,

Have my children, give me all your pain

Maybe if you read these, you'll understand better? https://www.rbth.com/arts/330790-most-popular-russian-poems

Could be, that she just references Nabokov, who also wrote poems or the dense literature of Tolstoi and the likes, like in a way to distract from the problems she talks about prior??? idk

[ultrarescent]

Damn...I thought BB was going to be a cute happy track about finding the right man only for it to turn in to another emotional rollercoaster. The lyrics pack quite the punch

[NikoGo]

Does anyone else hear the "Terrance Love's You" callback on Blue Banisters? at 3:39 "Now my banisters are green and grey" is sang in the exact same melody of "you are who you are"

[whitelungswhitepalms]

Love the Joan Baez reference in bb with diamonds and rust

In bb she mentions Jenny, I’m assuming that’s her friend Jen? Also mentions handing her a beer? Aren’t they both sober?

They make beer with no alcohol so maybe that?
