I seem to have a trouble of trashing a song here and then immediately falling in love with it after.

 

So, Thunder, this is for you:

  It’s not about having someone to love me anymore

This is the experience of being an American whore

I absolutely loved Dealer upon first listen, but it’s absolutely hitting now. I live for the smoky and gritty 70s casino vibe :smokes2:

When I first heard it, my first thought was that I felt like I was in a karaoke lounge in the 70s while on acid. I can see the darkness mixed with the dim, red lights and cigarette smoke when I listen to that song. Dealer does a great job of not only painting a picture, but having that picture be so different between each listener.

Omg that is a spot-on description :true:  Similarly, I imagine very grainy, reddish-toned film frames with smoke blowing about. Such an evocative and overall, like, genuinely cool track.

When you're just chilling, like driving or walking or cleaning honestly whatever, and then Lana's music suddenly hits like a drug

i've always loved thunder but i really think the new version has blown the unreleased one out of the water. the slow build up makes the song itself really roll in like thunder and it's brilliant. and i'm no music expert so i'm not sure what makes all those cool sounds throughout but it makes the song really beatlesy and i love it.

Has anyone gone off about Nectar of the Gods? Meaning-wise. Bc I initially thought it was a sex song (I get wild on you, fucking crazy... :creep:) and drugs but also sadness of lost time and ppl etc, but like maybe not. Maybe it's way deeper. That song is so beautiful, it's too much for my mind to process.

 

I thought I was being sexy and sent it to a boyfriend when it first leaked (with my sexual interpretation at the time lmao), but then he responded with a highly depressing song and I was like?? :what:

don’t say you’re over me…..her tone is so freaking gorgeous. I’m always on the search for artists that have the vocal capabilities of Lana with the same amount of emotion and only a few come closeeee

 

the twangy guitar in the second verse is so gorgeous on this song, I love everything about it

I always interpreted the “get wild and fucking crazy” part as wildly despairing, angry, or some combination of…just generally out of control
