you forgot "surprise"

[anwdelrey 8,964]

It wouldn’t make sense for her to release the best songs pre-release. It makes sense to release something subtle like The Grants and to leave the bigger songs for release day/week hype. Y’all wouldn’t get it.

When the surprise is her reusing “Afraid”s melody

That's true, but she's also known for releasing her favourite songs on the record ahead of release, like Terrence Loves You... or LMLYLAW. 

[Orville Peck 22,859]

not The Grants slander 

 

Spoiler

The Grants doesn't even directly cover her family's issues, she doesn't mention anyone in her family (in Fingertips, for example, she mentions names)... The song is very cute and anyone could relate.

i understand, should’ve worded that better, i’m sorry.

but i still stand by what i said. a&w and the title track make more sense for singles because they both have so many interesting parts to them and they’re heavy songs, production wise and theme wise. the grants is not really a match, imo. it’s a totally okay song and it’s good, but it’s nooo match for her other album openers. maybe it really has to grow on me, bc so far i’m not seeing its true potential. 

I haven’t listened to it because I want to wait until its release day, but honestly the way that you describes it sounds like the way I feel about text book. It’s a good song, but probably on of my least favorites on blue banisters, and I love bb very much. Idk, it just feels like a boring album opener to me personally. It’s so strange really, most of the time I think Lana is good with album openers, born to die, cruel world, honeymoon to name a few. But Text book to me is a boring album opener, it doesn’t set the feeling of the album nor lure you in

its funny that yall were praising the grants when it leaked and now that its a single u hate it 

[The Stargirl Pinky 67,114]

The Grants is a fantastic single choice the song at face value is GORGEOUS and she deserves her moment in the spotlight 

[viagra 1,642]

The GP will eat up The Grants, its very accessible and melodic, its a great single, wth

Iirc the reception to The Grants when the 3 leaks happened was lukewarm at best. But then again I don’t trust this forum’s taste at all. We shall see.

[West Coast 44,815]

I find that there is nothing wrong with The Grants as a choice of single. 
 

Spoiler

It sets the tone/mood for the next song, which is the title track, and they mesh well together.

No lukewarm reaction from me 
it’s gorgeous! And I think a nice single choice. People are only disappointed because they’ve heard it which is entirely their fault.

I prefer it to Sweet and Fingertips.   It has one of the most beautiful melodies she has ever written
