[SINGLE] Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd: OUT NOW

[marryingkind 2,491]

You may not like the sonority of this song, but it’s undeniable that lana’s lyrics are improving all the time

[the ocean 67,621]

i'm just gonna say my final thing about this topic which is what i previously said at the end of my last comment

it's music, not politics

maybe some of y'all should think about that a little

anyway!

Anyways stream AKA her most unique and vibey album to date. Maybe Lana needs to step out of LA city limits once in a while. 
 

[Fingertips 72,117]

THERE WERE FOUR OTHER PRODUCERS ON THIS TRACK

 

You can't keep blaming Jack Antonoff for everything

[13beachess 7,512]

I was NOT ready fot the production... the sounds of strings... the vocals... the oumph-ness, WOw 

the intro does obviously resemble NFR title track (), but more than anything I actually think the song is very much like BBS 

FINALLY SOME FINE LUSH ORCHESTRAL SOUND again

Lana's not looking to make a quick pop song, she's speaking to the soul and delivering a very poignant message that anyone could relate to if they open themselves up to the meaning.

I am realizing this now, as ironically I’m writing a last minute essay while listening to Cinnamon and Venice Bitch.Aside from getting older each year (I’m only 26), the more her recent songs apply to my life, and the more I comprehend them. The time of her writing pop songs like she did in BTD/UV are long gone. She’s realizing that she wants a long legacy to be taken seriously (as evident with the upcoming albums artwork that calls back to the singer songwriters of the 60s and 70s). I say here all the time I’m tired of the piano snore, but I’m not the artist, Lana is. And it is also evident with her making a poetry book and an audio companion, that she wants her lyrics to speak first rather than the music. 
 

But I do hope we do get fresh and experimental music (instrumental wise) down her career rather than just piano ballads like “lemme lov u likeawomAn”

YES OMG I GOT CHILLS 

[Pink Champagne 8,937]

I think people are getting IYLDWM vibes because the first few piano notes sound very similar to the first few notes in IYLDWM

I’m telling you, it’s the Carly Simon influence she grew up with activating in her unconscious. And they’re both Cancers.

speak for yourself—I was 14 when UV came out and every word of that record spoke directly to my soul. I was in love (and sexually confused) with this older girl in the 10th grade who was dangerous (she once showed me a topless woman on her phone in the school hallways) and a bad influence (her parents let us have a sip of wine at dinner). If that’s not what UV was about…💁‍♂️

This, doesn’t help that it’s in the same key as well. Both songs start with a C major chord lol. 

[Pink Champagne 8,937]

This new song sounds like a blend of Paradise (specifically Ride) and NFR (Venice Bitch, MAC)

Everyone's entitled to their opinions but some people use really rude language to describe something that Lana clearly poured her heart into and is touching a lot of people. Those who don't like it don't have to, but I'd recommend taking more time to try and connect with the song and understand what she's saying. Lana's not looking to make a quick pop song, she's speaking to the soul and delivering a very poignant message that anyone could relate to if they open themselves up to the meaning. If you still don't like it, that's fine but to pretend that your limited effort to connect with something is the gospel truth and everybody else is overhyped and misguided is just ridiculous. 

It’s not the lyrics or meaning of the lyrics, it’s the overall flatness and redundancy of the music and delivery.
 

No one is saying a negative experience of the track is gospel truth in any objective manner; you’re offended perhaps because your feelings are hurt by negative responses to the song, or the same pushed your nose out of joint. 
 

Why is it that people can  just LOVE SOMETHING TO THE MOON IN GUSHING LANGUAGE, but other people, in the same forum, cannot do the same to express a negative opinion? 90% here LOVE the song but one person says the song “is a turd” and that’s offensive and upsetting? 

[DLT 7,484]

That fucking breath at the beginning, like just yes. It really sets the mood.

[Pink Champagne 8,937]

Does anyone else crumble when she says “but I can’t” at the end of the bridge because

People have had a long history here of very rudely describing what they think of Lana's music and it's just weird to me, especially on a forum dedicated to her. I can't imagine being her and reading some of the things people feel comfortable saying here.

 

Anyways, it's definitely your right to not like the song, I am just expressing the depth and power that I see. I don't see anything flat or redundant in this song at all.

[maysparkle 2,382]

I made my boyfriend listen and he said it sounds so much like IYLDWM and that IYLDWM is the superior song 🙄 he wasn’t listening with sound proof headphones though like I was… I don’t know, to me Tunnel sounds like it has a certain melancholy that’s been lacking from her stuff for awhile, and it makes it different and beautiful.

It’s not her best song by a long shot, I do like it has more vocal layers and production. Lyrically it has some great lines, but there is this sense of repetition from her and plodding familiarity.  I’d be surprised if this is in my top three songs on this record.  I will say that I always see her albums as a piece and I can’t really have a strong feeling about a particular single until I hear the whole record and how it flows and then my opinion can change.

so did anyone try the DYKTTATUOB? i thought the DYKTTATUOB was lovely
