i just don’t understand what in the hell boz was listening to when he said there’s only piano in arcadia. the horns sound amazing, reminiscent of honeymoon the album in a way (a bit like TB!) and surprisingly it fades so well into the interlude, and that definitely wasn’t what i expected from it - it’s so much better 

 

the last verse, the peace signs and middle fingers, what an elegant way to say a massive fuck you to everyone who hurt her. i’m not even sure why the western bound, plus the hate that they gave, by the way thanks for that, on the way i’ll pray for ya brings me to tears. i’m so proud of her. she’s still standing (straight like an angel) while they just fade away

It's so beautiful ahhhhhh. Her tone. Her vocals are gorgeous. It's so comforting and aching and sad. Omg.

I was thinking the same thing! I always thought Honeymoon (the song) sounded very Morricone-y during the bridge and I thought (based on no real info except my crazy brain) it was partly inspired by the dollars trilogy. Then we got these Arcadia horns and now well she literally followed it up w an actual Morricone sample from the trilogy so… maybe I’m right

 Have they been included in spotify as well?

 

Also...do physicals ship on 22 or 29th?

 

And someone also mentioned the Arcadia MV audio is different from streaming? Really?

Someone with Spotify said they sound the same on there, can’t confirm myself. Don’t know about shipping. The video includes the following track “Interlude - the Trio” at the end, I originally mistook it for being only in the video - we won’t have it on streaming till release. ??

Dancing to the interlude after having listened to Arcadia

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

The streaming version has trumpets too...

Are we getting 2 different versions?

 

The vinyl will have the MV version I guess...like FIILY

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

Are her vocals different too? Someone pls confirm.

 

I think each version has it's own quirks. 

The MV has softer piano and more prominent strings?

[That Venice Bitch 28,151]

Arcadia MV version and Arcadia streaming version are both different. Listen to just the first 3 piano notes in both

Yes ...but I was hoping someone with more musical knowledge than me could shed some light on the differences in two versions..

 

Like what key are each in and are her vocals different..

??

 

Maybe our queen @plastiscguy could help ?

it's so annoying when she does this 

[Cherry Blossom 21,544]

What's up with the dragon emoji that Lana used? Gabe Simon also used it for his IG story. 

 

 

 

"I'm a dragon, you're a whore" mood.  

[Cry by the beach 882]

Also in the streaming version there's some sort of bass that almost sounds like a man humming in the first verse when she says "angel" "halo" "heyo" and "lets go" and its Lowkey bothering me

maybe he was listening to the MV version because that sounds like only piano sometimes

[UltraviolentJack 2,811]

Arcadia is absolutely gorgeous, I’m fine with her piano ballads when they sound like this. Clear horns, strings and arrangements. Very impressive lyrics too.

It’s Lana possessed by Talent 

[CinnamonGay 10,527]

I love it how her voice quivers at certain places....
