Snow on the Beach (featuring More Lana Del Rey) to be released on Taylor Swift's 'Midnights' (Til Dawn Edition) - OUT NOW

[Let the Light In 15,175]

Maybe Taylor is giving a message by putting her voice in the background, muffling it and don't want it to be heard clean and all in its glory. Maybe...

[Glitter Boy 16,212]

I'm so disappointed, BUT all I can say is:

1) if she gets credits as if she was a co-lead or featured artist she will get those $$ so bring it on gurl 

2) at least the hype brings attention to Lana too so it's fine on her side

3) I think this was a better output than if it surprisingly popped out in the Wikipedia tracklist notes section as ""Snow on the Beach" features uncredited background vocals by Lana Del Rey", which probably would have brought her zero $$ so okay.

of course i will not be using (as roughly any other Lana feature where she does BGV only tbh), but hope other people enjoy it.

i’m stuck behind wanting to look at this situation with maturity and consideration, and wanting to blame taylor swift for all of this as well as the tension headache i got last night

 

i agree that it’s kinda crummy for taylor to hype this up as a legit feature with LANA DEL REY just for it to be muffled background vocals which are hardly noticeable, i know there’s a chance that lana wanted it that way, but even then, why? it is strange that anybody involved would agree to that, makes me wonder if lana’s silence about this or chuck’s strange post had anything to do with this

[FFXSoul91 1,007]

Here are all of Lana’s sung/whispered lines that I can decipher from the song (at least I think ):

 

Chorus 1

You wanting me (whispered)

 

But it’s coming down, no sound, it’s all around

Like snow on the beach

Like snow on the beach

Like snow on the beach

Like snow, ah ah ha ha ha

 

Verse 2 (whispered)

This scene feels

Screen, I searched aurora borealis green

Lit from within

Blurring out my periphery

 

Like I won a contest

Would be so dishonest

Fake it ‘til you make it, ‘til you do

‘Til it’s true

 

Chorus 2

Snow at the beach, weird but fucking beautiful

Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful

You wanting me tonight feels impossible

But it’s coming down, no sound, it’s all around

Like snow on the beach

Like snow on the beach

Like snow on the beach

Like snow, ah ah ha ha ha

 

Bridge

Now I’m all for you like Janet

Real thing, can it?

 

Chorus 3

Are we falling like snow at the beach, weird but fucking beautiful

Flying in a dream, stars by the pocketful

You wanting me tonight feels impossible

But it’s coming down, no sound, it’s all around

Like snow on the beach

Like snow on the beach

Like snow on the beach

Like snow ah ah

But it’s coming down, no sound, it’s all around

 

It’s a shame to me that, not only did she not get a solo verse or chorus, but the ad-libs at bridge and ending are all Taylor too! Lana’s only solo moment is her singing “ah ah” in the chorus. 

[Xenoblade 3 2,065]

Lana voice has the same effects as it was on Ultraviolence (to a lesser extent Honeymoon) and HTD. Old muffled mic effects.

 

It sounds extra jarring next to how Taylor’s vocals were produced (crisp clean pop vocals). I have no idea why they did that. Either both them sing in the old mic to give a warm christmassy feeling or none at all. Having one muffled voice and one not is an interesting choice to say the least.

 

Outsold with ease.

Lana was probably just as surprised as we were when Taylor announced her as a feature

[lanascarlitos 816]

Taylor Swift has around 48 hours to kidnap lana del rey and force her to sing.

I can't believe I even DARED defending taylor swift by asking you guys to TRUST her going off of cardigan

what is this monstrous marketing tactic that BENTAP77 agreed to?!?

if anything it'll get people talking about ldr9...

anyway never getting hyped for a feat. LDR again

[bluechemtrails 22,977]

Maybe I'm just one of a few, but I still think the song is kind of beautiful. What some describe as a "muffled sound" fits quite well with what I imagine when I listen to it: a quiet winter day lonely on the beach, it's cloudy and a bit darker maybe even foggy, just before it snows from the sky. It's just a beautiful atmosphere that the song tries to reproduce. And when it says "it's coming down, it's coming down" in the outro at the end, you can literally feel the onset of snowfall. This beautiful feeling that you have at it, a song has never expressed so properly.

i think the muffled sound does capture snowfall very well in a way but did they have to muffle ALL of lana’s vocals like that 

[Crimson and Clover 22,117]

kinda random but the intro instrumental reminds me of Minecraft  I love it 

[The Siren 29,116]

fuck this. i was expecting a full verse or something from Lana  

[Pink Flamingo 16,173]

The way this song was gonna help go through the dryness of not knowing anything about LDR9 and now I'm empty handed and disappointed. 

[The Stargirl Pinky 67,089]

Kinda wonder what Chucky has to say about all of this lmfaooo her Insta story had some sass and I low key think it’d be hilarious if she posted her favorite LB reactions

[jamesss 3,779]

i just got a warning point omg

She is Mother Snow herself. 🌨️🌨️

[colaandvideogames 2,597]

So do we think it’s a demo or is this person wanting to get a bunch of backlash on Friday for fun? 

[Sportscruiser 10,682]

She felt threatened.

 

She knew her cottage-snore lyricism and middle school play choir ass vocals would get devoured.

 

She couldn’t beat mother at her own game.
