Fingertips

 

  Hide contents

is literally the emotional climax of the album and perhaps her whole career lol, it is the essential track of the record.

 

Spoiler

This!

 

and not to mention Neil’s pictures and emoticons of the waves. I see them as a direct reference to Fingertips’ lyrics about the “waves in the sea” and “call me Aphrodite as they bow down to me”.

imo she should have put the more upbeat tracks after A&W and then used fingertips as the closer, imagine “i just needed two seconds to breathe” being the album closer

It would be a powerful ending for sure but I think an equally important theme of the album is the looseness that she achieves after exorcising her demons in the first half.

I just tried to say it doesn't do much for me as a song. The lyrics are touching. 

 

Spoiler

it can also work as a song, I know I had the same difficulties at first, but after some listening it finally "clicked" with me

💐💐💐 since we are on the subject  i just want to give Fingertips her flowers💐💐💐

the production is giving ethereal rococo nymph painting meanwhile the words are so dark & heartbreaking! SHE IS JUST VERY IMPRESSIVE TO ME

Literally! Candy Necklace and Fingertips have this dark atmosphere I love so much.

Ehm, in the end, what was the surprise BOZ was talking about? Because everything we got didn't really feel like a surprise at all.

candy necklace kind of reminds me of the Love Demo due to the spooky & mysterious instrumentals  

hoping for more tracks like this in the future!!

I literally have not seen a single person hating on Fingertips at all lol. It's just not going to be everyone's favorite, and that's all good too. In fact, even the people who don't particularly love Fingertips are praising its lyrics and the importance of it lol. 

[Orville Peck 22,377]

I realized that I have been using the word "being" wrong. I'm sorry if sometimes I write weird things, English is not my first language.

candy necklace is one of my faves, to me it's very much aka x honeymoon, if next album doesn't follow the last third of the album i hope it's similar to candy necklace

I wasn't being serious  Ofc I know that everyone has different opinions, I'm just kidding around lol. I never said it needs to be everyone's favorite I don't think it needs to be. It's not even my favorite on the album
