I know this was probably already talked about but I haven't been active so I'm sorry for reposting

 

Since it's been a bit since release has anyone got their vinyl yet and confirmed if Beautiful is the string version on vinyl? Just curious bc if it's the digital version then I wonder where the string version came from

My rankings:

1)If you lie down (the outro and verses are 🤤)

2)Dealer (the belting and sultry voice.. wow)

3)Thunder (it's soo good w/ new production)

4)Black Bathing Suit (i still have a hard time listening this song, but it's a very good experimental song)

5)NoTG ( the harmonization, guitar and Lana= perfection)

6)Living Legend (i live for that "sax" solo)

7) WW ( the best of the four singles lyrically and sonically, i love how it builds at the end and "hot coffee" part is that bitch)

8)Violets for Roses (the lyrics and simple production are serving)

9)Beautiful (well, it has something beautiful in it)

10)Sweet Carolina (i love baby blues part, not a strong song)

11)Cherry Blossom (good and calming one)

12)Text Book (i can't listen this song because of that chorus "sonically") 

13)Blue Banisters (could have been better with strong production) 

14)Arcadia (I live for Arcadia slander🔪🔪🔪)

Not when L*** F** L*** exists. 

i feel like i’m the only lipster who actually likes LFL. i became a stan then so it’s sentimental to me but i played BTD and LFL the most in 2017 and 2018 so they also hold nostalgic value.

she said she won't be doing a deluxe version

i swear fans think they can will deluxe editions into existence. :awk: no matter how many times lana says there will be no bonus tracks or that she doesn't like releasing deluxe editions, fans will still try to convince each other that it'll happen then get mad at lana when it doesn't. :lanasrs:

Soooo if Lana tours again somewhere in the future, which songs of BB will make it to the setlist in your opinion?

She did Arcadia on TV, so I could see her adding it to the show. Maybe as a medley with LMLYLAW :toofunny:

Apart form thatI only see Living Legend happening tbh. I think that this could become one of her most performed songs tbh

I need to witness Cherry Blossom & Living Legend live


strong like a tree but the unlucky one

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? :assad:

- 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) :assad:

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

- 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? :assad:

I think there is a tendency to equate complexity with masterful writing, and simplicity with amateurism but that is a fallacy. Simplicity can be powerful, and overwriting can obscure the soul of a work. I see a lot of the criticism of IYLDWM as falling into this trap. Is the chorus simple ? Yes. But, it is because that is all the song needs to say. Padding is bad writing. The verses paint a vivid picture and the chorus adds the necessary emotional context to understand the picture. Using a lot of big words does not make meaning profound. If you are discussing the profound it will bleed through the words whether your style is simple or complex, and Lana, well is vast and contains multitudes.

And that applies to Beautiful, too :sass:
