"She made special mention of one such individual, Jane Powers. “She’s a real estate agent. I met her seven years ago in New York and I loved her. I really wanted to be a singer. I would say, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen.’ She’d say, ‘God didn’t save you from drowning just to beat you up on the shore. All you really need is patience when you have persistence.’ She’s just an angel.”

Spoiler

I had an auntie who k***** herself and this song hurts so much

This song really is amazing, they lyrics are so gorgeous. It almost feels like a grown up Arcadia with the raw lyrics and orchestra 

[Unidentified Major Tom 2,015]

I lost my whole heart to these lyrics and instrumentals the day I first listened to this song. 

Something about my relation to Lana has since changed. 

I think I would just give her a comforting hug if I could, and stop asking her for anything more.

This summertime sadness behind the scenes photo 

 

when I was 15, naked

next-door neighbors did a drive-by

pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beachside

i wanted to go out like you

swim with the fishes that he caught on Rhode Island beaches

but, sometimes, it's just not your time

all I wanted to do was kiss Aaron Greene and sit by the lake

twisting lime into the drinks that they made 

the town I was wed/born in and die

 

1. Lana was raised in Lake Placid and that is a rural area. Deleted from official final editing for it was too personal for her then?

2. Summertime Sadness as we all know is a composition of committing to suicide

 

Then- also that news of Aaron Greene who was said to pass away by way of car accident. 

Even if you’re gone- I’m gonna drive…

 

Might be a stretch but I recall another line aforementioned

 

next-door neighbors did a drive-by

pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beachside

I love this song so much 

 

It's so raw but so beautiful. She described there everything so perfectly. About her relationships with her family and her life. She painted a picture with this song. Or like directed a mini-documentary. Drew' orchestra fits there perfectly, so stunning.

 

It's a sister song to Hope Is A Dangerous Thing. I know it's an unpopular opinion but for me, Fingertips is her best song (lyrically) with Hope

Agree. She says something super personal in one line and you get like  but the next line is even MORE shocking

Take you home, I

I’ll give you a blanket

Your spirit can sit and watch TV by my side

‘Cause baby I

 

I thought it was 

 

Take you home high

 

 

[honeymooncd 3,479]

Her fucking saddest song to date.

Today I heard my biology teacher talking about telomeres and thought abt this song. Then went back to using my phone

her vocals sound absolutely beautiful here…insane to think she got a call about her uncle passing just minutes before and she still held it all in. 

[Atlantis 371]

other than the obvious bartender melody resemblance at the beginning, i always felt like some of this song’s other melodies sounded familiar

i was listening to græ by moses sumney the other day and i finally realized that it is bystanders that reminds me of fingertips!

the part when he sings “gifted to see between astral planes, now you plead to be plain” sounds like “it wasn’t my idea the cocktail of things that twists neurons inside” 

 

i still feel like i’m completely missing another more “obvious” song that has this melody, it really reminds me of smth for some reason and i don’t think bystanders is it

did anyone have the same thought and perhaps it figured out?

 

btw if u don’t know the album pls listen to græ, u won’t regret it imo
