Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Pre-Release Thread: OUT March 24th, 2023

I just feel like Lana has ALWAYS been able to create vulnerable and personal songs. Hope is a dangerous thing is a prime example of that. And it didn’t require her to take this thought-flowing freestyling vocals and melodies route like she did on Fingertips. She has the ability to blend her poetry and music into one beautiful melodic entity so Fingertips to me’s just unusual in that aspect. Again, it’s a lovely song but i prefer the Hope is a dangerous thing, Wildfire Wildflower, A&W structure. Appreciate it for what it is tho.

Exactly, the way you just get it

The way that sweet was overlooked by the insiders, and it’s stellar

 

all the untagged tracks are upper echelon.

 

I personally think this album is as rich as HM, the production is giving musical Disney cinematic tragic romance the way we were vibes.

 

i can’t wait to hear the rest.

Thinking about the use of “drive-by” in Fingertips. In fact, so much of her discography can be re-interpreted through the lyrics to that song. If Patti separated Aaron and Lana back when they were teenagers, and then Aaron later died, that could basically be the building block of the entire Lana mythology.

 

In the Born to Die music video, she dies in a car crash while he survives. Or Dark Paradise lyrics: I wish I was dead, dead like you.

 

So much to think about, really. This is gonna be the greatest album by the greatest American songwriter, count on it!

The Grants is rly flooring me & my dads first concert was a John Denver one actually so that has made the name drop, especially in a song about holding onto your memories of loved ones, so much more special 2 me,,,, like it's dumb but

my fathers first concert being a John Denver one... I'm gonna take that too with me  i think i should play him this song , he'd probably like it

 

[blackpalmtrees 2,466]

Spoiler

The Grants is beautiful too and a fitting album opener. I saw someone earlier say it didn’t fit as the opening track but it literally starts off with “1,2, ready”  the lush melody, vocals and instruments >

I really think Aaron is K, and his death was the inspiration for that "character". I don't believe she ever had a boyfriend that was on death row.

added more of my rambling analysis/thoughts on the fingertips lyrics.. i really do think these are some of the most personal and devastating lyrics of her career..  i think i'm sort of getting somewhere with my analysis of it even though the song is very dense and there's so much more to unpack  

 

  Reveal hidden contents

and i still haven't even mentioned the huge motif of death that is present throughout the song    

 

You’re a genius and I did wonder if the 

Spoiler

“When I was 15, naked / next door neighbours did a drive by” lyric was a reference to what you said. I haven’t seen anyone else mention it yet so I thought I must be overanalysing 

And also

Spoiler

The fact that Patricia is called out so many times. Also in fingertips “will you be there with me? Father, sister, brother”
I wonder if she feels awkward lmao

because then it adds a whole layer to the btd mv.. at the end of the video lana dies in the crash and the guy survives, and in fingertips, lana sort of insinuates that she doesn't get why he died and she didn't.. i wonder if that was why lana chose to do the car crash scene as well as close the btd vid w her death.. it also ties into other btd lyrics like he said, "i wish i was dead, dead like u", etc

 

fingertips rly does explain everything "from the start" like she said
