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

[Make me your Dream Life 87,898]

lemme just say that it's all her but im so fuckin proud of her. like wtf wth. getting emotional from her progression from watching the ride monologue to now. wow, who knew this woman's monologue about wanting freedom and adventure and finding comfort in the unconventional, it warms the heart in the strangest ways personally relative or maybe not so. 

[Make me your Dream Life 87,898]

so the thread's quiet and thought itd be nice for some kind of tracklist reflection.

no research etc. but intuitively what i sense.

the grants, textbook, an intro to her pack. family heirlooms vibes 
tunnel, topics of identity, communication, change, sex, death transformation. 
sweet, i pray your life is sweet u fucker, damn u, sweet like cinnamon, perhaps sweetness that fizzles into..? 
aw- american whore, love that it's 7 min long. hoping for some kind of spoken vocals at the back. 

judah smith, maybe a conversation? i think it's interesting bc the tunnel single cover kinda gives cult leader vibes already, so maybe that's a hint of the theme of religion, and how it can be like a steering wheel, but it also depends on how u drive. 

candy necklace. gives cinnamon girl vibes don't really wanna guess so much about it now 
jon batiste, still dk, u guys seem to talk good of him so hey, maybe some kind of enlightening moment that pulls her back up. 
kintsugi, hope that she actually doesn't make a chorus of the word so much, or even say it at all. i think it'd be nice if it was subtly infused about the song bc the theme's beautiful, aside from it being japanese. said bc she's known to be very american so the leap feels a bit farther than her perceived atmosphere/ world reach(?)
fingertips, was this rockafella? 

paris texas, already a film, thinking about how the movie's theme's'll meld w her perspective. probably a coming back to herself moment. 

grandfather, sounds like a very caring title. if i were to guess deeper, it might be a song that's dedicated/ reflective of keeping her family/ loved ones safe, and how that might be metaphoric of her own safety bc she finds comfort w him. 

let the light in, right off the bat, light, but also perhaps about clarity, intuition, new life, and being able to move past subconscious patterns of the past. 

really dk about margaret. bbs? 
fishtail gives beautiful vibes. i like it, but i know people find the song dramatic/ like a loose curtain so w/e. hope it feels a little more wondrous. though the placement gives me redemption MPG vibes 
peppers... hope there's a lot of fire. hope it feels like a sting on a wound/ cut. 

taco truck. i'd personally just ROFL if it was venice mixed differently to give off a very present ambiance. or rather a continuation from venice's bridge and outro. it'd be a dream. i wonder if the song'll be some kind of vulgar to be decoded.

Was there ever an era of Lana when she gave us just one single before the album release?

Nope. So this era can’t be it. 

By the way, she had no right to show us the titty cover, hint it was for a boxset and then disappear, without a preorder.

insiders are talking about the tracks

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,109]

So she’s sampling

Two whole piano tracks (by riopy & ak)

serene queen (well, ‘referencing it’?)

a Tommy genesis track lol

and Venice bitch 

 

i fear this album is going to eat and leave no crumbs

[WhitehotOcean 1,073]

a trailer with those visuals would be so wonderful, i’d adore it

[Golden Hour 5,187]

I get so hyped every time I think about this album there really just is no artist like Lana, truly a once in a lifetime artist and definitely the artist of my lifetime.

I know this is not related to Tunnel but she’s referencing SQ so

Spoiler

Her team removed every Serene Queen video on YT. The same thing happened with Architecture and a few years later it was released with Norman  let’s be delusional

might avoid the forum till release, too many spoilers I can’t trust myself to ignore long-term 😭 

[bluechemtrails 26,789]

I think there's also a lot of subtle humor in this album, it's reminiscent of the days of LFL and before.

what if an Ocean Blvd deluxe edition drops & its on it 

[BartenderDeco 19,636]

just saw the jon batiste billboard thing

 candy necklace next single confirmed

Listening to Ultraviolence right now including all the bonus tracks including ITH & Flipside & also the West Coast Radio Mix (put it next to Florida Kilos ), the point is it's 1 hour & 18 minutes long that way, super similar to the lenghth of this album. UV feels so much more complete & it's such a whole & full experience,  it's perfect. I hope & I'm sure Ocean Blvd album will feel the same way, not dragging at all ,  like a gorgeous complete journey,  experience & collapse with gorgeous production,  variety but it still feels like it belongs all into the album 

 

Spoiler

Don't get me wrong standard version of UV serves too & is perfect already ofc but Flipside really is the perfect closer

Unmanifesting deluxe albums in 2023

 

also the record is 1h 30 long, I guess it’s already a “deluxe” album

Why unmanifest new music?

[Crys10 2,883]

I’m actually excited for Margaret. 
Her songs with ‘name’ titles are really great. Salvatore, Carmen and Lolita are some of the best tracks.
