Exactly!! I really love this song and it sounds like classic Lana to me. I've been waiting for something like this since Honeymoon 

 

VFR and Buddy's Randezvous made me realize that she's still got the jazzy orchestral spirit in her soul and I would love to hear more. It's the closest we can get to Paradise-UV-Honeymoon era which I personally love 

 

As I said upon its release, to me, 'VFR' is the big sister of 'America.' I love Lana partially because she addresses all aspects of life, like all great artists and songwriters, not just the upbeat, happy side and not just the sad, downbeat side--she covers it all. 'VFR' is, I think, a very genuine expression of post-COVID release and sense of freedom again, as well as a beautiful expression of new personal strength and ability to adapt and move on. As an amateur horticulturist, I love the plant references and lines like "Larchmont Village smells like lilies of the valley."

 

I agree--the 'jazzy spirit" is still within her and it will be interesting to see how she develops it.  

 

By the way, if JA did say 'TJF' was bombastic, that I would disagree with.

Do we know if that’s even legit? I’ve searched the word alongside the song names & have found nothing

oh no I completely agree! It’s one of my favorites on COCC! I just wasn’t sure where Jack allegedly calling it bombastic came from!

Omg don’t worry!! This wasn’t aimed at you lol 

[Deleted Member 23,763]

honestly i think jack’s ballads are by far her best—the melodies and chord structures on all of the ballads he’s worked on (besides maybe Love Song, sorry ) are very beautiful and carefully crafted, it feels like every note was considered and thought about. the only ballads that i have had somewhat of a distaste to are a few of the ones on blue banisters unfortunately, like Violets for Roses. there’s nothing wrong with piano ballads, i absolutely love them, but in my opinion there has to be some sort of interesting element or interesting chord or interesting melodic choice to make it feel fresh and like something you haven’t heard before. just singing along to a standard V - vi - iii progression with no other elements but voice and piano feels familiar, and not necessarily in a good way. i hope that for LDR9 lana does work with some less cut-and-dried piano players honestly, people who aren’t afraid to add some weird voicing or something under the melodies that she brings in. just my opinion though <3

you’re back!!!!!!!!
 

but yes, all we really know is Ian Walsh(?) might be involved, Jack posted another photo of Lana, and she said she hopes we like country. 
 

other than that…not too much, and even the things I listed are up for debate lol

I’m guessing it was just a mixup with the interview about the unheard tracks he cooked up with Lana—he’s never mentioned anything about TJF being “fire” or “bombastic” as far as I can tell. 
 

He actually referred to the COCC songs as quiet, so maybe there really are some more lively ones we haven’t even heard yet! Time will tell, maybe lol

My intent wasn’t to be passive-aggressive, but you’re always welcome to clarify any perceived, indirect hostility before assuming so via accusation. 
 

I just wanted to double-check the accuracy of your claim (particularly now with the changing source—nothing personal to you or your character) to get a better idea of what Jack’s concept of “bombastic” is because I’m excited about the new record and the prospect of unheard, lively songs making an appearance soon.
