to me that's literally her best song and music video to date i dont even care

I think there's an emphasis on "happy" with tunnel. The songs are written from a current perspective, looking back. Lana has mentioned how happy she is now quite a few times. For me, historically there's a lot of heaviness in her discography but it comes from someone who is sorting it out, or still experiencing it. With Tunnel there seems to be clarity in the lyrics and a lot of light in the production. I think we've always known Lana to sing sad songs but she's finally singing from a place of happiness rather than hurt. She's able to see clearly now and she's laser focused.

Very interesting, most people rank it in the bottom half of opener songs regardless of the other songs’ order. Not that this is bad. Honestly I love all her openers almost equally so I’m super excited either way

[ChaoticLipster 24,618]

Cultural appropriation is a crock of shit half the time,  just another exaggerated concept used to attack individuals and cancel them.  People don’t even know what appropriating even is, an important factor is that it’s done usually in a derogatory way. For example using black face at halloween is offensive because it implies being black or African American is scary.  
 

In reality we take from cultures all the time, food, styles, our language and philosophies. Practically everything we do has a potential tie to another culture. As long as you are embracing it respectfully I see no issue.  
 

Lana has a lot of Latina friends, who have clearly had an impact on her.  ‘That’s why they call me Lanita’ I really don’t see what the big deal is.  Is she not allowed to embrace the cultures around her?

Honestly so valid  

 

I just love the vibe of like a warm southern night, and the xylophone takes my mind to such sexy, sultry 60s music. I can just imagine it being sung by the Mississippi in New Orleans  but I'm not a Text Book truther, I get how it flops for a lot of people lmao
