I’m actually excited for the track. I just think it’s perfectly understandable if some people don’t vibe with it and if religious content is something that triggers them, then that’s perfectly valid   idk about anyone else but I never said Lana shouldn’t do this or that or that people should question her decision to include a sermon in her album - I don’t understand where these combative answers are coming from lol.

 

no offence dude but you're literally the only one being combative.

I wrote that art should be challenging, you said "thats all fine and dandy that you dont care but other people might" so I said "then don't listen."
and then you called me a horn tooter coming out of the woodwork???? lol

 

ANYWAY - I dont want to argue with strangers on the internet, lets agree to disagree, and not name call while we're at it.

Fingertips may be one of the greatest songs I've ever heard  The way it pierces through the heart is so intense, I started crying in the car this evening when it came on

I don't love the intro to The Grants, but it's something new and I respect it

 

Spoiler

It was interesting and unique at first but honestly I set my file to start playing from 51 seconds

The intro of The Grants is something new in Lana's discography. It deserves more appreciation.

 so true, I've never heard a long like it before and there are different moments in the track that will make me start crying out of nowhere. Today it was the twisting limes lyric

For me, Judah Smith - Candy Necklace - Jon Batiste are the most intriguing songs on the record, because like, how is that supposed to work?? But, at the same time, Lana has an artistic vision and we'll only understand it when we listen to the album in full. I don't think it's neither fundamentalist christian nor making fun of the pastor (I assume he listened to the track or at least knows he's being featured on the album), and I'm sure it will make sense eventually.

Oh, and I'm not a religious person myself. Not totally an atheist but def not a religious person, let me make myself clear!

On topic: I can't wait to listen to Peppers

Absolutely! I adore that creative decision.

The Grants

 

Spoiler

I wasn't sure about the intro at first though I did appreciate that it was unique, but it's definitely growing on me. It's fun to sing along with them before the song begins 

 

Does anyone have any interesting theories or interpretations for why Lana chose to include it, or do you think she just thought it was cute?

 

 

[Fingertips 72,034]

Spoiler

My pastor told me when you leave all you take is your memories, and I'm gonna take mine of you with me

 

This album truly contains some of Lana's most touching lyricism to date, I feel this music in my soul

Listened to peppers LQ and although the quality is shit….oh my fucking god. it’s crazy.

I generally like them, but The Grants is just next level for me. The way she pronounces certain words in the song is just 

Solid 9/10 for me personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’ll be one of my highlights from the record

I really like the intro but title track is stronger so 8.5/10

 

[Eugene 26,663]

That's why they said that Lana should not release any single for this album.

I think it really sets up the album. She talks about her boyfriends in the first verse, reminds me of how to disappear, and second verse is about her mental health, which she told us is improving, then the part about her family, a big theme of the record… and then the chorus tied back into the theme of “don’t forget me”, she’s taking her memories of these things and using them to grow as  person.
