that is what a lot of you are failing to understand 

 

fingertips is a poem. and it’s easily the most raw she’s ever been. putting out this track must’ve felt like therapy to her - being able to finally just let things be put out there and take a giant exhale

 

the girls that get it, get it 

 

 

Spoiler

I don’t think anyone is failing to understand that. The song definitely carries a lot of meaning but it shouldn’t have been a song on an album imo. At least not in this shape or form. It easily could have been restructured into a wonderful piece of music but the way it is right now? Easily interlude material…

It changes all the time but today I would say:

 

1. Ultraviolence

2. Paradise

3. Born to Die

4. Lust for Life

5. Norman Fucking Rockwell

6. Honeymoon

7. Ocean Blvd

8. Chemtrails

9. Blue Banisters

 

I mean I definitely appreciate it from a lyrical standpoint but when I listen to music, I always pay attention to melody and production first and then lyrics. The song's production and the "non-existent" melody are what throw me off cause it isn’t particularly intriguing imo. But that really just boils down to subjectivity. Some people care more about lyrics…

 

My ranking on the bottom is the same. Ob is better than cocc/bb but worster than the Rest of her albums

its not simple its trigonometry on We Heart It

Singing over a piece of music with seemingly no rhythmic or melodic connection. Stream of consciousness/thoughts type of songs…

 

Oh you were talking about Fingertips. I haven't heard it.

 is it going to be a track that gets played frequently? probably not because it is more like a spoken word. but i just hate to see the comments of people shitting on fingertips completely especially given the material covered within the song

 

sure, say that you’re not a fan of the track. but to say it “doesn’t belong on the record” is just tasteless

I see where you’re coming from and I agree to a certain extent but this discussion is totally subjective.

In my opinion, the song wouldn’t get nearly as much shit if she scrapped it from the tracklist and saved it for a second poetry project.

2. Kintsugi

3. Let the Light In

4. Fishtail

5. Grandfather...

6. Taco Truck x VB

7. Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd?

8. A&W

9. Sweet

12. Margaret

13. Paris, Texas

14. JB Interlude

15. Judah Interlude

I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating.
