text book is hideous please

The only song on the album next to BBS, Dealer & Thunder that has anything going on.

Lana reworks a song and everyone has a meltdown over changed lyrics and production choices they aren't happy with


Lana doesn't rework a song and she should have changed it up a bit 

 

:ma:

That’s because she changes the songs that didn’t need it and didn’t change the songs that needed it. :ma:

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.

Not only no line about being "a candle in the wind,' but no other classic rock references whatsoever, as far as I can tell. I have no problem with such references if they're genuinely clever, or especially meaningful, but on the last couple of albums they've become way too obvious, and it cheapens the whole concept. 


she references nirvana's lithium and pink floyd's comfortably numb in WFWF


i love you, but you don't understand me.

Sweet Carolina conjures up a very very specific image for me. It sounds like a song that soundtracks the end of a series or movie where it’s played in its entirety to a montage of long shots of a sentimental moment of a dysfunctional family eating dinner on Christmas or Thanksgiving. Something like The Sopranos or Goodfellas ⚰️ It’s so tender

The way that BB has only been out for 2 days but has already passed my streams of BTD-P in my all-time Last.Fm listens (includes all my streams of the tringles & Arcadia pre-release which gave it a huge boost since I’ve only been scrobbling since 2017)! :hype:

 

now my streaming order, most to least, is below—which is oddly different than I would personally rank her records from best to least best (cause they’re all beauties!):

 

NFR

Chemtrails

LFL

Honeymoon

UV

BB

BTD-P

 

what’s the order of your most to least listened Lana albums?

On my last fm, I have the same order as you, except Blue Banisters isn't close to reaching Paradise just yet. LFL is at the bottom of my personal ranking, but because of the amount of tracks, it is my third most played. NFR + Chemtrails have a lot of replay value. Honeymoon is a favorite of mine, but I have to listen to it all the way through which is why we both have similar stats I would assume

She explained a lot of her old lyrics with VfR

 

Roses are Lana's love for her boyfriend(s)

Violets are Lana's sadness/pain when her boyfriend(s) leave her

 

"I love rose gardens
I plant violets every time someone leaves me"

- My Bedroom is a Sacred Place Now - There Are Children at the Foot of my Bed

 

"Roses, Bel Air

Take me there

I've been waiting to meet you"

- Bel Air

 

"There are violets in your eyes,

There are guns that blaze around you

There are roses in between my thighs"

- Honeymoon

 

Why are you calling it a filler :facepalm:

Cause while lyrically it might have some meaning to it, it’s a boring and tuneless song.

Here's my ranking so far if anyone cares. 

Spoiler

 

1. Violets For Roses 

2. Black Bathing Suit

3. If You Lie Down With Me

4. Blue Banisters

5. Arcadia

6. Thunder

7. Dealer

8. Wildflower Wildfire

9. Text Book

10. Sweet Carolina

11. Beautiful

12. Cherry Blossom

13. Nectar of the Gods

14. Living Legend

15. Interlude

 

 

I hate ranking them though because I love all of them. I put the interlude last because Lana doesn't sing in it, but it's so fun when the song comes on. It gets me pumped for the rest of the album. So yeah...I still love every single song. This album is amazing..I can't stop listening to it :trisha:

Love it! That makes sense. I listen to Honeymoon the most at bedtime because it makes me feel serene :agree: I secretly love LFL and listen to my favorite songs from it a lot but don’t discuss it much because LFL lovers get trashed :true:

As I continue to listen to the record, I'm really seeing all the pieces of her story fit together perfectly.

 

While some songs are older (the historical significance of which simulate a more 'anthological' feeling), I actually think the story she tells on this record begins in 2020 and ends in 2021, even though she digs into the roots of her existence a bit. The universality of the older songs she chose actually applies to her current life (what we are privy to, at least) perfectly.

 

I'm thinking of writing a longer post that dissects this a bit further – I think I'll post it here, and hopefully everyone sees the narrative a bit more clearly too! I had an inkling about this, as I'm sure many of us already did, but the things she said about her personal life in the livestream yesterday somewhat confirmed it. I'm really excited thinking about the record now and this makes me love it even more (as if that was possible!) :party:

I think it’s hospitals too!!! The word she was talking about on the live that she’s never mentioned but says it tells the whole story but ‘it’s not only hers to tell’ or something?
