its obviously fine not to enjoy music about family, we all like different things but i find it highly misogynistic to consider it "lazy" for women to write about family. its like when people say women are "wasting their potential" by getting married and having kids as if women are expected to deny their biological urge to raise a family just because we have more options in the modern world. men and younger women might not understand or relate to music women 30+ write about their families but it doesn't make it lazy or as if they're not trying. women in this age range just often change their priorities.

The problem with songs about kids and family is that to each individual, their own child is adorable almost beyond measure, but other people may find ongoing talk about someone else's child's tiresome before very long. It's the old 'come over and watch our home movies' situation you see in old movies and television shows, where the hosts are boring their neighbors to death with their endless vacation reels and talk about what fascinating action 'little Stevie' or 'little Susie' took today. How many people complained about 'Sweet Carolina' as "interesting to Lana, no doubt, it's about her niece, but not to me" after BB came out? 

I didn't use the word "lazy," you have seen that somewhere else, and I didn't say female artists who write about their family aren't "trying." It's exactly what you just said in your last line: their priorities change in a massive way when people have children, for both women and men. 

Men write about their kids, parents, siblings too, often to equally undramatic or interesting effect, like Jimmy Buffet's 'Little Miss Magic' (groan). Or to good effect, as with Rayland Baxter's song about his relationship with his father, 'Oh My Captain,' which is so broad and archetypal that the themes are expressed in a kind of universal language.  

 

I'm all for women having children and raising families, and men too; I live in NYC and have been here for a while; I've seen what ambition and careerism can do to women especially, who are urged to "rise to their potential' and give up having a family, or having one child only, that they barely see due to 24/7 career and commuting demands. 

 

Lana has every right to explore her family, its history, and her 'karmic lineage,' as she has been doing on some of the BB songs and now on 'The Grants' and others from OC. But whether those songs will have real appeal to even her Stans is another question.

Karmic lineage is my new least favourite word

To the people saying Fingertips doesn’t have a melody, I can literally play it on piano…? 😂

And it's really good too

Spoiler

The inflections she does at the end of the sentences specially on the second half of the song are stunning (and heartbreaking too)

It does to me…

[marryingkind 2,491]

I dont get why they dont do any promo in latin america. Like, we love Lana in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia etc (just watch her shows here).

They prefer to make things for her in a country that cancels her for the most ridiculous thing instead of strengthening her image in the countries that love her🙄🙄🙄

i think it's so special that they decided to keep the part where one of the backup singers sings the lyrics incorrectly and then they just start again and sing it beautifully, it really encapsulates the vibe of this album, just stream of consciousness and letting it all flow without forcing anything to sound fabricated and perfect 

WAIT IM JUST LEARNING THERE'S AN ACTUAL BBC INTERVIEW I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE SONG PREMIERE WTF AND LANA SAID THIS SAME THING THIS IS

@prv_dan is as reliable as DragonWhore and missdaytona 

[Fingertips 72,097]

I have a feeling that Candy Necklace will be a very instrumental guided track. Massive and pleasing to the ears makes me think that a lot of the song will be production as opposed to vocals

[paradiso 1,623]

all the writing and arguing over a song about her family... okay
