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

[Crazy Husband Thief 3,900]

Spoiler

I take off all my clothes

Dance naked for neighbors

I'm like "fuck it, gonna give a show"

I open up the blindfolds

i feel like people should make their opinions on the album after a month of hearing it. opinions change so much in such a short amount of time, and after a few weeks i feel like people and critiques would have a different view on them, yk? like, i loved born to die but now it’s not my favorite. songs i didn’t like on the first listen, i usually ended up loving them in a week or so.

I was scared to say it, I like Fingertips lyrics, but I wouldn't mind if it had never been included in the tracklist.

I love how in Paris Texas it's when you know you know it's time to go, and then in Margaret it's when you know you know it's time to stay 

 

Spoiler

another good example of song siblings on this album (@burthday kake found another one today), we need to investigate this more, it seems to be some kind of Easter-Egg

 

[evalionisameme 13,888]

The way Lana would probably disagree with most fans taste-

coachella is one of her favourite songs, Violet is her favourite piece of work, she hates fingertips

the official release or the original version? because i think i read somewhere that lana said video games was originally a piano ballad (lol to haters). idk i feel like some of the lyrics on some songs on btd fare better with the more involved production

official release, if i'm not mistaken, video games was released before she was signed to interscope and actually produced btd as a whole record. video games is still a piano ballad, it's just not bare piano.

Fishtail and Peppers both have lines about skinny dipping in someone's mind and braiding hair

I get this opinion bc it’s a very divisive track and I could never change that unfortunately because those who don’t get it are missing out i feel. But I want to just note that it’s perhaps Lana’s most heartbreaking and personal track and it belongs in ocean blvd

I love it because its one of her most honest tracks, but I don't care for the instrumental. It makes me think of a poem she had recorded for behind the iron gates but the rest got stolen and that's the one she had still leftover

I didn't say it wasn't a good track. I like it, but I just can't feel anything else for that song.

i reallyyyyy wish it had been a poem, honestly it could've been one of my favorite poems because its so revealing, but it doesn't work as a song and even lana knows it lol.

Yeah, but Kintsugi works the same way... and I really love that song. Just Fingertips doesn't do much for me.

I won't, everyone here has different opinions about the songs on this album, and I can say what I think too.

Spoiler

Kintsugi is gorg and works because it has a great melody... the "automatic singing" doesn't work because for one her vocals just sound bad lol, and there is no melody. it's basically her half-singing half-speaking a poem... honestly could've been really cool as an interlude like burnt norton instead of the interludes we got

 

[Fingertips 72,034]

I personally find Kintsugi much less accessible than Fingertips in almost every way, so I'm surprised by the reactions, but to each their own!
