house of balloons 12,770 Posted July 24, 2020 and music isn’t always about the range Exactly! Ariana has an impressive range and we all know what her music's like.. anyways the vinyl is white you heard it here first 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yosemite 23,678 Posted July 24, 2020 everyone has cringe lyrics but does miss lanz have a "you can plan for a change in weather and time but I never planned on you changing your mind" Dude, she has better. Even miss Sssnake has better lyrics than that. Gosh, even when I goof around on that "Bette-google voice" project have better play on words than that 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lemonade Tears 1,574 Posted July 24, 2020 Exactly!

xxmissdaytonaxx 29,979 Posted July 24, 2020 i’m all for discussions but idk how comparing taylor to lana really relates to this thread. i’m no means a taylor fan. i used to be during her RED/1984 era and then her music turned meh. ok now y’all got me adding my opinion. lmao. this ain’t the right thread. bye. 0 Quote miss born to lose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Whore 47,966 Posted July 24, 2020 sing it for my babies on the tour life...you're so ghetto...makes me wanna party...piiiink flamingoOOoooOs always fascinated me...it hurts to love you but i still love you...i just wanna dance with you (this is in every song basically)...it all seems stranger than a stranger... we all love and appreciate lana's art but let's not be delulu The thing is Lana uses better wordplay and has a better way of writing generally “The night keeper carelessly dropping the keys on my nights off” “life rocked me, ultra softly, like the heavy medal that you wear” “hello heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights on a dark night” “I’m your national anthem, boy put your hands up, give me a standing ovation” “Boy you’re so dope, your love is deadly” Also, one of my favorite lines from BTD “Let’s go get high, the road is long” so she’s talking heights and lengths, which in the literal sense, let’s go smoke and get stoned or whatever, and the destination seems far, but shes metaphorically talking about heights and lengths theyll go which gives that song even more meaning when you listen to it again. those are such iconic lyrics 7 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CinnamonGay 10,513 Posted July 24, 2020 No one ever said that. I did agree that both are amazing songwriters where Taylor has a more direct simpler approach with catchier lyrics. And Lana is more about you have to sit down and understand. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CinnamonGay 10,513 Posted July 24, 2020 ? 2021 grammy for spoken word will go to Violet for sure. James Taylor is eligible only for 2022. I assume Behind the Iron Gates will win that year too 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CinnamonGay 10,513 Posted July 24, 2020 Each track was a gem... There was no big production blasting off into your ears. That's why I love Folklore. Reputation,Lover were too big and overproduced and killed my ears..such a headache to listen to. cocc better be like sufjan 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lustformoney 40,461 Posted July 24, 2020 Why is everyone excited for it to be folk or country.. Hey blue baby, that second song and TNC are literally her worst songs. Wish she would some day go back to psychedelic rock or jazz 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence Loves Me 71,839 Posted July 24, 2020 TNC is bad because its so far from Lana, she was basically just covering a beatles song, like that is not her music at all, the same thing with BPBP is just a fleetwood mac song 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lustformoney 40,461 Posted July 24, 2020 so you're trolling? got itNo. I just pay a lot of attention to the production. Nfr had none 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingertips 72,117 Posted July 24, 2020 TNC is bad because its so far from Lana, she was basically just covering a beatles song, like that is not her music at all, the same thing with BPBP I think that if we've learned one thing from Lana, is that she doesn't have a singular identity, and that she orients her albums towards one era of American culture. I feel like TNC is the most representative of the 60's and 70's that the album cover draws inspiration from? 7 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

Lemonade Tears 1,574 Posted July 24, 2020 I honestly think Hey Blue Baby/TNC are cute, but I don't want an album of songs like that. As a standalone single, ok, but 40-60min. of it?? 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
