Yup. It needed more contrast in terms of the music and vocals, even if low key. ‘Hope’ was low key, but also full of musical contrasts. And the production was crisper and clearer. 

Cut the cameras to Lana saying she doesn't make song for her fans but for herself

Do you want children?

Do you wanna marry me?

 

Hi, it’s pouring. Lana has a new song out today. She hopes you like it. It’s called “The Grants”.

This thread the most calm and peaceful it's been in two weeks..see what happens when you don't pepper your opinions about music with ad hominem attacks like "people who like these piano ballads are in a cult" or "people who don't like this style are negative cows" or "I don't know what's wrong with you if you like/dislike x, y, z" or "3 piano ballad fans on here" to rile people up and just stick to the music?

absolutely agree but the examples are taking me out

The Grants has such a touching message, that's what makes the song so special 

[West Coast 45,897]

I find The Grants to have a beautiful and meticulous instrumentation, and the lyrics are beautiful, yet very personal as well, I wouldn't have changed anything about it honestly--but as an opener it's not quite hitting the note for me. It's a great song, but a whelming opener.

 

I find that it flows very well knowing the title track follows, so in that sense, the song's order is logical, but I like it when albums start with a bang. Knowing Lana has the habit of putting the title track on the first or second spot, makes things difficult cause the two tracks are a pair.
 

On a different note, I think the intro is cute and quirky.

I don’t know 

Maybe I’m just like this

Only nine more days until we hear Taco Truck x VB, Fishtail, and Paris, Texas… AKA the holy trinity of her discography 

[ivory almond 16,382]

no way i come back to LanaBoards after dinner and it is in perfect harmony??
The Grants really just needed a bit of time to settle down the universe ig 

[DCooper 37,180]

I can see why some people wish the song was grander but I think the album will be big enough that it will make sense why she started it this way, she's going to be all over the map on this album and exploring some really heavy topics so it's really interesting that she starts things off in such a soothing and affirming way. I can't wait to hear how it all comes together

I just listened to Sweet for the first time and i’m not mad i listened to it! I  loved the Wait For Life reference! It was cute!!! This song prob won’t stick out to me from the rest of the album …

telomeres

I totally agree and I think it was a perfect transition from her last era into this new one 

[Carmen Del Rey 2,076]

What do you all think the first music video is gonna be? Shocked she hasn't dropped one yet. What if she doesn't do any music videos 😭

 

Also, since she's been getting booked for all these festivals aka returning to the stage, I really hope that means she's gonna drop a headlining tour shortly after the album release! I have yet to see her live, the only time I almost got to see her was The Endless Summer tour with Courtney Love, Courtney was over an hour late to her set, then Lana NEVER came on stage. Biggest heartbreak of my life. Some man announced on the speakers that Lana would not be performing due to dangerous weather and the weather was FINE, not even cloudy. Then immediately, security and venue staff rushed everyone out of the stadium. It was very sus and chaotic...

 

[imaginist 2,019]

I love how a lot of people are doing the 1 album a day thing until release but I literally just now listened to all of BTD and COCC while crying over a boy lmao 

 

I praise the lordt every day for this woman’s discography ❤️

[Enco 2,799]

The Grants is 100% a grower on anyone who doubts it. Once you give the track it’s deserved time you can appreciate how beautiful it is. Kintsugi was right Weddings! Funerals!
