How was I not a fan of NOTG before?? it’s literally been playing in my head all morning long… I think I still need more time to fully appreciate the chorus, but the verses touch me so much, they’re gorgeous. Crazy how much the song makes sense within the context of the album

It is a song  that creeps up on you,  I like the song but ‘I get wild and fuckin' crazy like the color blue’ feels a bit generic and cheap lyrically…it’s classic recycled Lana.

We know she reuses words and phrases a great deal--I hope, for example, that she never writes another song with 'beautiful' or 'beauty' in the title.

 

A lot of people thought what is now called 'Nectar of the Gods' was 'Wild One' due to the similarity of the lyrics.

 

'Black,' 'blue' everything, 'pools' or 'by the pool,' 'wild,' 'fuck'in crazy,' guns, drugs, older men/daddy, flowers of all kinds, the beach and the ocean----these are words, symbols, phrases and ideas Lana loves. 

 

We haven't seen the 'Queens of Saigon' in a while.

just moved into my new apartment, introducing myself to the neighbours by blasting BB over and over again, windows open

NOTG has the perfect ending

'once I found my way but now I am lost'

It's meant to end abruptly because it conveys the message of the last line and the song as a whole, it's not supposed to give closure.

Plus, we know that NOTG was very likely written before 'Not All Who Wander Are Lost,' so she was lost, but has now come to an understanding about herself and her current path; "not all who wander are lost."

Why did she literally have to deactivate her fucking socials, like what is her problem

Main issue is the vinyls being delayed. The social would have maybe helped some but the nail in the coffin so to speak is the lack of her primary physicals this first week.

On the other hand, maybe this will help her with longevity 

[lanasgirl 3,800]

why is "if you lie down with me" THAT song  i thought it was overhyped at first but damn it's so good

Very true! She’s still going to sell the same amount but it will just be spread out. While she may not be recognized as successful by “gp” standards she still does very very well for the type of artist that she is. Literally nobody else could do it like her with the same circumstances lol!

As long as Flopde stans don't go on twitter and call out the sales numbers....

Amazing album, much better than Chemtrails and even NFR for me. Blue Banisters reminded me of why I love her music. A return to form.

They already are

 

 

[Honeyyoung 17,096]

when dealer starts doing 2m streams a day and the album goes number one with 80k sales 

[ShaneLanaFan 32]

I hope dealer does go viral, seems to be.

[ShadesOfViolence 6,660]

the album is better sonically without Text Book and BB.

How dare...

People should reply with metacritic score.

[ShaneLanaFan 32]

I think Textbook and BB really set the mood for the album. Back to HM/UV sound. Just my opinion though.
