tunnel sounds so good with dolby atmos especially the last 2 minutes 

 

Oooooo wait I want to hear. How do I stream with dolby atmos?

[West Coast 45,793]

The last part kinda makes the song imho, it's a stellar third act/ending. 

It really is IYLDWM's younger sister.

no it’s not just you  for whatever reason it pushes the volume down but i just listen on maximum volume 

 

it also often completely butchers some songs/their mixing but on some rare occasions like this one it sounds really great (or maybe i’m just tired of spotify’s awful sound quality)

there's a tunnel down n ocean boulevard oh hoooooo ah haaaaaa 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,815]

[Make me your Dream Life 87,815]

i wonder how this song would sound if celine dion sang it. there's a triumph to it that feels very celine dion

I see some people asking why people like this and not BB (mainly Arcadia). The IYLDWM similarities are undeniable and both Arcadia and Tunnel have an orchestra. My biggest thing is that they’re both pretty wordy songs but her delivery in Tunnel just flows so much better. Arcadia just sounds awkward to me at times, like the arteries line. I also think I just prefer the writing on Tunnel than IYLDWM. Tunnel seems a bit more complex and it seems like Lana is really mastering her craft in songwriting here

Does anyone know how many streams Tunnel has on Spotify?

It’s grown/growing on me. On first listen, it just reminded me of LMLYLAW, Arcadia, and just BB overall, which was disappointing. The lyrics really pulled me in, and I’m warming up to the song overall. Once the album comes out, I doubt I’ll ever listen to it individually, but I can’t wait to see it within the context of the album. 
 

I’m not particularly concerned because Lana likes to release ballads as singles that I never tend to really care for or listen to regularly in the long term (Terrance Loves You, Hope is a dangerous thing, LMLYLAW, Arcadia), and they usually aren’t really that great of a preview of the rest of the album. So I have hope that the rest could be different and better, even if this is growing on me. 
 

I just really am hoping for a strong album this time around. Having two albums in a row where I regularly skipped half the songs kinda hurt me since Lana has been one of my favorite artists ever from the moment I discovered her a decade ago.

This song is a spiritual experience 

[Fingertips 72,034]

There's something about the title track that is so devastating to listen to. It really hits a sad spot that I haven't felt since "Heroin," "How to Disappear," and "Hope is a Dangerous Thing" (three H's, huh). I adore COCC and Blue Banisters, but neither record really moved me emotionally in the same ways. 
 

"When is it going to be my turn?" I can't think of this line without immediately thinking about death and it makes the entire song so much darker

i was thinking the same thing bc the tunnel does seem v coffin-like and "don't forget me" taps into such a base, existential fear - to me it's almost like thunder's refrain "just do it, don't wait" where the listener can decide for themselves what exactly is going on/what they want out of the song and even meanings to the same line can shift and transform as the song goes on. but that's the best part of lana's songs, that so many ideas and images are swirling together constantly  

[Pink Flamingo 17,145]

I've seen many people saying that the new single sounds like blue banisters but I haven't found any kind of resemblance to BB💀

yeah, and adding on to this, it even makes the metaphor of the tunnel to be this sort of purgatory or transitional state after you die - creating even more powerful feelings of the weight + fragility of existence when you listen to the song

Those people need to clean them ears out, this album so far sounds nothing like NFR, COCC, or BB.

But again, only real fans can tell the difference between Lana's albums

I mean I've been a fan since 2012 and I still think it sounds similar to BB but not in a bad way. It reminds me of IYLDWM and Thunder in the sense that they have a calmer start with the piano and keep building throughout the song.

I think it's a nice transition between BB and what's to come 

 

I'm a firm believer that none of her albums sound the same but there are particular songs that reminisce of other records and that's completely fine (and I love it cause I'm nostalgic and I loved BB).

I do think this new one is the superior track tho
