What does "your interest really made stacks out of it for me" mean?? I speak spanish so I have no clue. I mean it's a metaphor right? Or a saying?

 

Today is BBS all day

i don't get the lyrics saying "at the rainbow's end" because she says something after "end"

She just carries the word “end” so it’s like “you try to see the bright side when each new day begins, but you’re not satisfied, at the rainbows e-eeend”

I want to share my little story with you if you may:

 

My grandmother died of Covid in April. I lived with her all my life, I used to put her to bed every night and I never forgot to say 'good night, sleep tight' always fearing that it might be the last time. Her death is something that still makes me cry like a child. So last night I was in the bathroom, crying my heart out because I miss her and I didn't get the chance to say goodbye, I couldn't see her because of Covid restrictions. I asked God for a sign, I prayed and I told him to send my a butterfly to let me know that she's alright. Today after lunch I went outside to have a smoke, Blue Banisters playing with my headphones on, and there was the butterfly. It stared flying all over me while I was standing on the grass when Beautiful started playing. I couldn't help crying. I'm going to keep this moment in my heart forever. Don't know if it was just a coincidence, I don't care, I needed it and I choose to believe! Beautiful now has a special meaning for me, I will never forget it. My heart is so full right now. Hopefully someday I get the chance to meet Lana just to thank her. 

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I was travelling by train today, listening to this album, and thinking how good BB suits to this october/november time. I was looking through the window at the colorful forest for almost an hour. The weather was beautiful, day slowly changed into evening, and it all mixed so well with every song. I'm glad she released BB during this time. Amazing experience.

The word BLUE is mentioned in 6 songs on this album and she says it a total number of 25 times.

We love a queen who can do calculus!

she is so cute  

 

I honestly understand her, every media outlet talking about how some of the album's songs are older bc some of them were leaked years ago instead of focusing on other more important things

i'm pretty sure it's "let the rainbows enter in"

It's definitly "the rainbows end".

The guys is always longong for sonething more, he's not even happy when he's reaching the mythological "end of the rainbow"

“Blue Banisters” is such a perfect and iconic title.

Blue = sad  : Banisters = something we hold on to —> sad things in life we rely on/hold on/ not ready to let go. 
It’s basically a reflection of the album’s inner meaning.

btw I haven’t posted here since maybe the release of Mariner’s Apartment Complex? Lol

i wanted to see what the consensus was on this album here. I was surprised to see not only so many positive reviews from the press, but also the fans! I remember being shocked once when I found out that Homeymoon was such a fan favorit, when at that time I ranked it pretty low with her discography.

My fav would be split between Ultraviolence and BTD, with Norman following behind it.

 

I just can’t seem to get into this album. I’ve given it 2 listens so far. Thunder being my only fav so far.

everywhere I look ppl are laughing at BB sales failing to understand the importance of physicals lol. 

like we knew it wasn't going to be Billboard #1, and lana doesn't give a flying shit so why do her fans even. idk
