I wonder what the closing song will be like 

 

I feel she's going to close the album on a very high feminine energy, like celebrating her femininity  idk why, just a wild guess or wishful thinking

Probably a ballad 

 

I want something like Get Free 

[PatentLeatherDoOver 25,783]

It hadn’t even crossed my mind that Sweet Carolina will transition into The Grants. Your mind @bluechemtrails !!! I absolutely love when she does this (such as with LFL to NFR). 

 

Like @salvatorelovesyou mentioned, I’m really curious what the closer will sound like, particularly with Lana deliberately mentioning to W Magazine that she gives an “Old Hollywood style” goodbye and thank-you at the end of her records. 
 

Also, it’s interesting thinking about her “goodbye” comment in the context of Sweet Carolina considering that the last line was, “Closer to you than your next breath, my dear.”
 

I definitely will be paying attention to the closer for TUOB

this is a great point and her finale to opener transitions are some of my favorites…HIADT to White Dress is absolutely lethal. Considering that Sweet Carolina (probably my favorite song on BB and one of my fav piano songs from her) and The Grants are both about her family, she’s obviously given it some thought and I just know it’ll blow us away.

you need to hear Beautiful it’s a big slay 

Spoiler

I honestly wouldn’t mind if she did something like it again (only the string version tho)

I don't think that there was a goodbye song on Blue Banisters, but I associate Cherry Blossom more as a goodbye track than SC

[Eugene 26,672]

I perceive a strong gospel vibe in this album... The backing singers on the title track and the presence of Jon Batiste make it even better.

I wonder if there will be a FIILY/Groupie Love/Summer Bummer situation with this record, where the vinyl has a demo version and streaming has the final

i’ve been thinking, i wonder if the vinyl is going to have the 5 1/2 minute version of the title track. i actually think whatever was omitted from the song was omitted because BOZ said the album was just under 80 minutes, and the maximum amount a CD can hold is 79:30, so whatever was cut probably had to be. but even considering A&W is “well over 7 minutes”, we have 15-16 minutes on side A of the vinyl to spare still, she could probably stick the extra minute of the song on if she wanted to

w/ Sweet Carolina transitioning into The Grants, are you guys expecting something scathing or more just lovey dovey?

Im down for either...

Maybe she doesn't even associate Patty as part of The Grants anymore as it is the family name on her fathers side anyway, thats pretty scathing in itself, to ignore her as if she doesn't exist

[Fingertips 72,051]

This album is going to smash. Ocean Blvd outshining both Arcadia and LMLYLAW three weeks out combined. Despite having zero promo.

[rancidgirl 5,695]

oop this is lanas comeback i fear

i’m kind of thinking a mix of both like Wildflower Wildfire, WW is technically a love song but she still drags miss Patty in it too

the thing though is that why wouldn't they put the 5 and a half version on streaming if it was for space reasons

not saying that she won't put that version on the vinyl but i feel like if she did it would probably be due to: a. her sending that version to the vinyl pressing plant but then editing the song further or b. artistic choice to have that version on the vinyl

I thought BoZ confirmed that there isn't a longer edition of Ocean Blvd

 

I predict for side A:

The Grants: 5:45-6:20

Sweet: 2:45-3:01

Ocean Blvd: 4:45

A&W: 7:40~

[Eugene 26,672]

I am now intrigued by the collaboration with Jon Batiste.

Maybe she doesn't even associate her mother as part of The Grants anymore as it is the family name on her fathers side anyway, thats pretty scathing in itself

Personally, I expect it to be loving, maybe even a little quirky. I could be wrong, but during Lana’s award speech where she mentioned WFWF, it seemed as though she had (in a way) finalized what she wanted to say about her father and mother in that aspect. 
 

However, The Grants is followed up by what seems to be long breaths from Lana, almost as if she’s calming herself down. Then again, maybe it’s just supposed to mimic the wind and usher in the next track! I’m excited to see!
