Blue Banisters - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

she really doesn't want to tour huh, and thinking she was going to be in so many festivals in 2020, i wonder if she's never touring again

[prettywhenimhigh 49,438]

I think she'll be back on tour in 2023

After two weeks on repeat, I have some questions:

- Is the truck the guy in Violets wanted in exchange for Roses the same as in Bartender? 

- is Angelina an unborn child she had in the past? (The song becomes spookily interesting if you listen to it like the kid is a ghost) 

- did Chuck end up having Baby blues after Phoenix was born? 

- is there a third and perfect version of Beautiful, combining the perfect piano of the official release and the strings of the « demo » version that leaked? 
 

 

 

 

This is a very interesting take, and I somewhat agree when you consider a few things.

 

Spoiler

1) That song she sang years ago (the one that shall not be named), I'm not sure if you're aware of it but it gives your comment some validity

2) Perhaps Lana felt it was important to put the song on the album given that Chuck was expecting (so in a way, Sweet Carolina and CB intertwine with each other which also explains the placement on the tracklist) - both about babies? Motherhood? Baby blues?

3) Angelina def sounds like a name Lana would name her kid (Lana is religious and likes angel imagery for example). I'm not sure if she knows anyone IRL with the name? We can only speculate 

 

Overall the CB lyrics have always intrigued me. For all we know she could have written the song about JonBenet Ramsey (beauty queen/lana) etc which is a funny stretch but hey, you never know!

I mean I did but I'm not building high expectations on it because what if they're working together for kanye or something

The last time Emile and Mike worked together on the same track for Kanye was 2010 from what I can find, so I've decided to ride that delusion train until it either crashes and burns or makes it to it's destination

I don’t trust people who skip Wildflower Wildfire. Truly one of her most majestic and poetic songs in her whole discography.

So what is this BBS line about: "Your interest really made stacks out of it for me." 

[FallingCherry 7,731]

Just heard Beautiful with strings for the first time and I’ll never forgive Lana for not including this version on the album 

The solo piano version is one of my "least favourite" songs on the album (actually love them all), but the version with strings is gorgeous!!

i know lots of people find the interlude kinda out of place but it psyches me up so much!  especially after the closing sentiments of arcadia, it really makes me feel badass and free.  i love it. i think it works so well even if it's kinda random sonically.

she's referring to the rise of Lana Del Rey and the way the media and public has scrutinized every single thing she does and says, because of their interest in her, it made her a lot of money. 

 

stacks = money

THE ONLY THING THAT STILL FITS ME IS THIS BLACK BATHING SUIT

If You Lie Down With Me is so 70s lounge-chic (and then launches into a 30s saloon moment with that brassy postlude). I think it’s one of my absolute favourites. That song, Text Book, and Nectar of the Gods, in my opinion, carry the most apparent western influences that make me think in the vein of Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazelwood’s original recordings together. There’s just something so hazy and glamorous, but thoughtful about those three tracks. The richness and warmth of Lana’s vocals when she first says, “put your red boots on..”

It truly is gorgeous… however, the piano melody is the best on the official version. She needs to combine the two!!!

It’s raining, I’m high, it’s time to get lost in the album. 
 

I posted a sign in my door that says “all circuits are busy. Goodbye.”
