hi everyone!! wow, 6 days and almost 146 pages late to the party!!  i've been so busy so i've not been able to log into LB much (the internet servers at work don't let me ) but needless to say i've been listening to BB a TONNE and honestly..... im so happy with how much i love it  here's my current thoughts, ordered from most fave to least fave, definitely subjec to change though! (also not very articulate or detailed bc im so tired right now hahah)

 

Spoiler

1. Dealer - if you guys remember me at all you'll probably remember how excited i was to hear Lana and Miles Kane together and WOW. this track did not disappoint, they sound AMAZING together, lana's pained and manic screaming is EVERYTHING, i love the weird lounge-meets-grunge vibe of the track?? it's such a unique song because it's so simple yet so experimental??
2. Beautiful - fuckkkkkkk this song is just........... *chef's kiss* i literally am fighting tears every time i hear it. the lyrics make me feel so seen? like.... if i had the option to be happier and more normal i'd probably take it but thank goodness i don't have that option bc like WHAT IF SOMEONE HAD AAAAASKED PICASSO NOT TO BE SAAAAAD?!?!!?! its so so so so so so gorgeous, it makes me feel so understood <3
3. Black Bathing Suit - didn't expect to end up loving this one as much as i do!! it's so fuckin catchy!! the mania it builds up to, it just feels so crazy and ridiculous but i love it <3 hysterical and unhinged women are my entire lifeline thank u lana
4. Wildflower Wildfire - still a fuckin CLASSIC for me!!!
5. Nectar of the Gods - right now i fuckin LOVE this track (i didnt overplay it when it leaked, im lucky!) but admittedly i can see myself getting kinda "over it" in time, but for now..... love u NOTG
6. Thunder - fucking amazing, feels like the end of the party when everyone is falling over and splashing beer all over the place, makes me wanna go outside and smoke a cigarette with someone while having a deep conversation
7. Sweet Carolina - another song i didn't expect to love as much as i do but wow i really do!
8. Violets For Roses - breezy and beautiful, the chorus needs a little more oomph for me but im still a big fan
9. Text Book - a bop! love the verses still, just like i did before!
10. Arcadia - i don't love it as much as i expected, but it's cute!
11. If You Lie Down With Me - the ending is amazing, i just wish some of those more interesting sounds came in earlier!
12. The Trio - A BOP IDC
13. Cherry Blossom - cute!
14. Blue Banisters - still not feeling it too much
15. Living Legend - i never listen to this one but that may change over time!

At first I thought the BBS lyric was "your inches really made stacks out of it for me" and I was like...who's inches?  But I'll have to remember to come back in here and write a mini essay on that line and BBS in general because I have a lot of thoughts 

[robertenglandgrant 1,498]

I haven't seen many people speak about this on here, but I love how Rob starts off Sweet Carolina by saying "ok" lol. It's something that took me several listens to notice, almost like the Jack easter egg at the end of Hope is a Dangerous Thing

Nectar of the Gods is such an LDR staple, a classic, unreleased or not. So glad it found a home! 

 

I remember at the Violet signing at B&N last October, Lana mentioned how prophetic her own poetry can be and how even her own songs can speak to her years down the line (and just two weeks later, she would record Text Book and the title track, two tracks integral to BB). All the leaked songs that ended up on BB, I have certainly gathered new meanings from while listening to them within the context of the entire record. It’s quite amazing to witness part of her journey with those tracks.
