When I first heard 'Black Bathing Suit' I had certain expectations with it since insiders had hyped it up a bit, I must say that I was a tad disappointed with it. On the first couple listens I just felt like it was a good song, but nothing more really. It kinda hit me earlier this week, I was doing homework and listening to the album and the song came on and I enjoyed it so much more. Might as well be my second favourite track, right after 'Text Book'. :candy:

thisss. i had the same initial reaction to black bathing suit as i did textbook. (I had way to high of expectations for BBS too tbh) and I was so confused with the tempo changes in both songs and the rawness in production elements, especially percussion. if i'm being honest i still am not sure i prefer the roughness of the production to a more polished presentation. i would have loved to hear BBS with a more cohesive and accessible mix. (Text Book sounds sm better with the mastered mix in my opinion) BUTTTT I have really come to think of Text Book and BBS as my favourites from the record regardless. there is definitely a certain addicting element to both songs!

Y’all reaching. He gives female artists super high scores all the time. He just doesnt like her music. It’s not that deep. It’s one person’s opinion. Stop being so triggered by meh reviews.

Trying to understand why people keep picking on Beautiful when Text Bore and Wildfire Wallflower are right there

Look, if we're going to complain about any songs on the album, Beautiful ain't one of them. Blue Banisters or NOTG, fine, but y'all will respect queen Beautiful. :smokes3:

 

<spoiler> But we love all the songs if we're being honest with ourselves </spoiler>

Ok so I like creating playlists but I'm kind of unsure of how to arrange this one. I had a Chemtrails playlist that I want to combine with Blue Banisters but idk about order. Any suggestions?

07. Hallucinogenics [by Matt Maeson]

08. White Dress (PlastiscGuy Mix)

09. Not All Who Wander Are Lost (PlastiscGuy Mix)

10. Dance Till We Die

11. Summertime (The Gershwin Version)

 

And this is what I want to add (I have Living Legend & Cherry Blossom on an older playlist):

03. Arcadia

04. Interlude - The Trio

05. Black Bathing Suit

Beautiful is really aging good for me. It's so so beautiful:oprah: It truly is one of my faves now. I love the message a lot & I'm still not over how beautiful & interesting the piano sounds, I could literally listen to the "raindrop piano " for hours,  it's so beautiful :wowcry:

 

Also I want to appreciate Violets For Roses again,  such a phenomal song :oprah:

 

The whole album is aging good so far & Dealer is still that bitch :trisha::xcry:

Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon.":sadcore2:

Anyone else always skip the last minute of Black Bathing Suit? I will make an edit without the ugly vocal parts.


I’m literally listening to this song mainly for this part. It’s the best part.

Lyrically, they might as well be poems because sonically they both offer very little

All I hear in Text Book is "I went out with my friends to a BLM protest (and I want everyone to know), all my ex-boyfriends were scum, Sean Larkin reminds me of my dad and I wish he were here something something river river"

:whatever:

Each to their own, though


ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream

i still cant quite believe i'm playing color blue on vinyl, like i really cant believe she released that song, its such an old gem, releasing it to the world was one of the best decisions she's made i think, one of my favourite songs ever it's so beautiful and timeless and never gets old. it reminds me of being out in the streets at night, drunk cold and alone

Remember when I said Arcadia wasn't that good? Yeah fuck that, I didn't mean all that :smokeney:

It's hitting me a LOT. The tragedy, the desire to escape... I need a miracle :brandy:

The strings and the horns are everything. 
It was on repeat yesterday, as I was a strolling through the park, on a beautiful sunny afternoon. It was such an experience.
