I didn’t understand the place Nectar of the Gods on BB’s tracklist until last week: all the songs starting with WFWF are about motherhood, including that one. NOTG’s chorus could be sung from the perspective of the mother getting Wild on her daughter, raging at her like it’s said she does in WFWF, and the verses are about the « hole » it created in her daughter, feeling lost.

Taking the fact that Thunder/NotG/LL/CB are old songs out the picture, the track run from Thunder to Sweet Carolina is the best sequence of tracks in her career imo (I feel like I say this every time I come in here, but it's true. I also really love Dealer, but Thunder to Sweet Carolina is where I see it as a sequence)

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.

It really does hit, I remember playing all those songs on vinyl and being like wow what a way to end this album

 

especially with sweet Carolina, I had to pause for a minute and regroup

NotG, LL and CB = unbothered :worship:

Happy birthday to the 3 surprise singles!

 

What a glorious day that was, I remember being so shocked that we were getting not one but three new songs so soon after Chemtrails was out, and then being completely blown away by the emotion and maturity of the tracks. All 3 are masterpieces and such gorgeous parts of this album.

This album is so slow like it moves like a glacier. But I also think it's pretty gorgeous in a messy, very personal way. Lana is so intimate, it's like she tells you her darkest secrets but you still don't really know who she is.

 

Let's rewrite history, I'll do this dance with you...

 

There's a hole that's in my heart all my women try and heal
They're doin' a good job convincin' me that it's not real
It's heat lightning

 

I promise that nothing will burn you.

Wait do ppl actually hate NotG :pout:

 

I mean I don’t really care for its presence on the album bc it’s a random demo from 2013 on an album full of more fleshed out/recent recordings but as a song it is THAT Girl and deserves Respect

Tbh, this album was the most Lana album since Honeymoon. If this was the release after Honeymoon I'd have absolutely zero criticism about her music and it would have made perfect sense tbh. Realistically, it's stupid and pointless to imagine that, but like, IMAGINE THAT

My obsession with this album has still not ended:defeated: it's aging so good for me :trisha:

 

Just wanna say again how amazing the new Thunder is:oprah: it really became one of my favourite songs ever & it's along with Black Collapsing Suit my favourite song from the album :lange:

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:

I just had an out of body experience listening from 2:45 to 3:16 of Text Book... I literally levitated a few centimetres above my bed and beams of light came from my eyes, mouth, and fingers... Literally the reason I can't listen to this song often smh
