violets for roses would be a Eurovision worthy bop if it featured an upbeat europop production

i cant stop thinking about it in my head and its so boppy omg someone should do a remix

[Summerain 1,269]

I'm obsessed with Arcadia

I'm SO happy that the absolute beautiful, gorgeous Arcadia gets the fully respect and appreciation she deserves. <3

Arcadia is so underrated, I can’t believe how overlooked it is by so many listeners. When I first heard it, I couldn’t believe she did that. The lyrics are some of the best she’s written (that chorus is everything), her vocals are stunning, and the production is just gorgeous. I admire the way she’s able to weave so many different facets of her life—relationships, fame, and personal growth—into individual songs, and this one is just exemplary of that. It’s probably my favourite on Blue Banisters

What are your guys' favorite lyrics on the album? Like little snippets that just hit really hard.

 

Right now my two are:

 

My heart is like paper, I hate ya

 

and:

 

Once I found my way but now I am lost

 

But there are so many good ones! To me this album is probably lyrically the most interesting and deep she's been since she's gotten out of her "I wanna die to be with my boyfriend in heaven" phase.

[13beachess 7,614]

To continue the Arcadia love;

 

Those horns are still everything  

 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,021]

To continue the Arcadia love; 

 

The little instrumental part after the first chorus is so fucking beautiful

"comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry"

 

"your interest really made stacks out of it for me"

 

"ever since i fell out of love with you i fell back in love with me"

 

"you act like fucking mr. brightside when you're with all your friends but i know what you're like when the party ends"

 

"you try to see the bright side when each new day begins but you're not satisfied at the rainbow's end"

 

"you feel afraid, mommy is there"

Okay but we have to talk about the track placement from Arcadia - Interlude The Trio - Black Bathing Suit.

 

Arcadia is like a sweet lullaby that turns you tf on & then you found yourself masturbating to it in a motel room. And then the Interlude comes on, but towards the end of it you hear it sounds more like you're about walking outside leaving the speaker with "The Interlude" playing back in "the room". Once ur outside, u heard the crows, the leaves: because its like you put on a black bathing suit, get into the pool outside of a garden in a summer afternoon or something.

 

The Trio Interlude honestly fits the whole album if you think about it.

woman had me crying about parts of stairs let's be honest i still get emotional about this album forever a soft spot for u bb 
 wtf but actually i love it 

[Venice Peach 54,289]

Going from Arcadia to The Trio is still so funny to me 

The whole Arcadia - The Trio - BBS sequence is brilliant

I’m gonna say something controversial before the next album comes. Those of y’all who paint BB as messy and complain that it’s songs we’ve already had or that it’s boring obviously are missing the entire point. It truly is a healing album. It details the struggles of addiction and heartbreak and trying to find family again when you had none. Men who come and go because a bottle is more important to them. Finding your own family because maybe it never came easy for you. Trying not to be self destructive and angry. It’s deeply emotional when you fully understand all her references and there’s a lot. Y’all were just upset it wasn’t milfymoo clubbycloo death drop into a split werq the house down boots slay

the only thing i disagree with is the mess, if the unreleased/leaked music wasn’t ass quality i would agree with everything.
