2 village emails in one week with 40% off tho - they are trying to clear inventory FAST. New merch next week means album announce next week :true:

“Big things are on the way to LDR Village that we can’t wait to tell you about,” and “Stay tuned for some special announcements coming soon.” Sure sounds like it!!! Here’s hoping 🤞

the thread is dead, so I’ll take a few guesses on what the “Rockefeller” snippet is about based on what little we heard:oopna:

 

Interpretation 1:

She’s likening her lover to John D. Rockefeller in the same way she would compare her significant others to figures of Americana (like JFK). 

 

-If this is the case, this man is the “umbrella” that shields from the hardships of her life. The last word appears to either be “sorry” or “story” (storyteller, possibly?). With this in mind, maybe she wronged this man and is apologizing or he is a storyteller in the sense that he crafts together lies to feed her. This concept reminds me a lot of the themes in Born To Die, actually. 
 

 

Interpretation 2: “Rockefeller” is a metaphor for her wealth/fame—also because of John D. Rockefeller. 

 

-Perhaps the umbrella of money and renown protects her in a more tangible sense, but despite her “God, I love you baby” directed to it, the darker tone suggests a less healthy relationship. Perhaps this is almost like a bridge between Money Power Glory’s sarcastic approach to wealth and infamy and the somber longing expressed for her pre-frame days in White Dress. 
 

Interpretation 3: She’s actually saying “my own brother” instead of “my umbrella,” possibly suggesting a Sweet-Carolina-esque nod to her “baby” brother Charlie Grant. 
 

-The more dissonant melody in the snippet paired with possibility of her saying, “Sorry,” at the end makes me wonder if it’s almost a WFWF situation where she revisits something from their childhood. Then again, maybe she just threw in the line to paint the picture of her current life which seems to be very family-centered as of late (like how she vaguely mentions Chuck in COCC). 
 

Let me know if you have any thoughts or other possible explanations!

I guess the song is either related to the famous umbrellas at the Rockefeller Center in New York City in the 1930s/1940s like mentioned before

or like you said it's another reference to Americana or American symbols like Blue Jeans, Pepsi Cola, Normal Rockwell, John Deere &c.

Spoiler

btw I always forget that her big theme is Americana, even though it's so obvious, from Elvis, Marilyn, Hollywood to country music and cars

Snippets etc. don't seem to get me excited at all, or only for a short time. I'm already losing interest again, this needs way too long for me to stay engaged noooo :horror:

Why did Ben feel the need to tease new stuff so early again? Haven't they learned anything since NFR?

We don't have fake titles and fake dates so far, so that's already an improvement from past eras :true:

But yeah the way he basically said new album incoming in June,but I hope it all means we get a single this month or in October or at least this year

Swan Song. It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon.":sadcore2:

Woah, I never knew about this! This actually seems way more likely! I’m really curious to see where the song leads if this is the case. 
 

It immediately made me think of the line in LA Who Am I To Love You where she says,

 

Also, neither one of us can go back to New York
For you are unmoving
As for me, it won't be my city again until I'm dead
Fuck the New York Post.

 

So excited for this record!!
