Where are the instrumentals? Leak them :read:

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:

maybe this was posted before but does anyone think The Trio is in reference to Lana and her siblings?

no idea how other than the name

 

it’s the title of the ennio morricone song the track samples

The outro to Black Bathing Suit is so incredible and heartbreaking. Lyrically she's so sassy and knows she has the upper hand against her haters, but she sounds so defeated and sad, like even though she has the last laugh it's not worth all the shit that people have said about her and put her through. The production is so chaotic and fractured and those shards of glass with the lonely piano to end the song WOW a masterpiece :cryney2:

It seems that there are two digital masters for this album: the original master from which the Text Book, Blue Banisters, and Wildfire singles were pulled, and a second master released on CD. You can find the original master on Qobuz and it sounds great, but it clips like mad. I suspect the second master was an emergency fix job to tame some of the egregious clipping, but in so doing it lacks the punch of the original master. You can see the Qobuz waveforms compared with the Amazon release and they're noticeably different.

 

Something for the collectors...

oop nevermind then lmfao

 

no but i think you're right still! imo that's why she picked it for the album (she also mentions making coffee for the triad on hope, which i also think is her and her.

siblings)

 

and re BB more generally, this is the only lana album i am straight up ambivalent about. has always been strange to me how much i LOVE some of the songs (the leaked ones, BBS, VFR, IYLDWM, sweet carolina) but as a whole it just doesn't come together holistically for me, feels fractured when i listen to the whole thing. i would still love to hear from her about the process of making this album/putting it together, tho who knows if we'll ever get that (we really got NOTHING for interviews this era).

Okay can somebody give us those snippets of new leaks they might be good :oic2:

 

Y’all better not be those fans who say this and then complain when Lana releases the songs on the next album and say the album isn’t as exciting/good because “we’ve already heard it before” :biblio:


  It’s not about having someone to love me anymore

This is the experience of being an American whore

Sweety I was one of the ones on LB who defended the addition of the leaked songs on BB. :smokes:
