Blue Banisters - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

i don't just love how 'if you lie down with me' has that retro jazzy instrumental outro but i love how the whole song sounds like it could be right from a 30s movie like the lyrics, the melody, the music, how she sings it, everything. like i can almost imagine alice faye or ginger rogers performing it in a movie then the instrumental at the end would like the tap dancing part at the end of the number.

lanas order of BB is perfect, i listened on shuffle today and it just did not hit as much as before. she really knows what she’s doing. 

[necessary sacrifice 8,865]

the title track really makes me cry more than any other song on the album 

***but arcadia, beautiful, living legend, cherry blossom, & sweet carolina are big tear-jerkers too (but i have in fact cried to every song on this album at least once, even the interlude lol)

me crying to the "and now my blue banisters are greeeeen and graaaaay" line for the 352th time

[cherrysadwine 383]

I didn't like If You Lie Down With Me at the first listening except for the beautiful outro.

The chorus reminded me a lot of sweet Lizzy.

Now I realized I actually didn't like it because I'm trying to forget about someone I fell for and the song hits right THERE.

AND NOW I CAN'T LISTEN TO THE F*CKING SONG WITHOUT CRYING. LIKE HOW SAD AND SWEET IS THE STUPID SONG.

Thanks Lana. I'm purging really hard with this album.

In 9 years she NEVER made me cry this much. Ever

ikr it's just so... UGH

[Rust Dress 40,200]

i feel like sweet carolina’s lyrics are under appreciated. it’s the way that she’s essentially talking to us and telling us that everything will be alright

The way rob teased 2 months sweet caroline and fans just said "not for me" and it got relesead

Polydor and her team are so embarrassing for having a streaming party, they’re clearly desperate to raise these streaming numbers (despite  everyone in this thread claiming no one cares about streaming numbers)

 

this is some justin bieber begging ppl for streams on instagram type mess 

just leave pls

Obviously I love the album overall and the new tracks but I just can’t get enough of Blue Banisters (title track)

 

I can’t possibly rank them, but it’s top three amongst the title tracks for me (with COCC and NFR).

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,092]

I played BB along with my fave albums ( UV & HM) and it still sounded so good 

Definetly one of my favourites for sure,  if not my favourite album tied with Honeymoon
