sadness is a butterfly 5,795 Posted February 28, 2023 I like Text Book in general, and the BLM line doesn’t bother me but it’s a weak opener for sure. I’m most excited for the Grants, as I feel like we know the least about it. No samples, no lyrics, no snippets. My expectations are high 1 Quote It's a beautiful life, remember that too, for me.

Fingertips 72,034 Posted February 28, 2023 Some of these opinions.. 11 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um Chile Anyways So 7,096 Posted February 28, 2023 3 minutes ago, taco truck said: I hate Textbook just for the fact that it ruined her streak of 10/10 openers also for the god-awful BLM lyric Hopefully The Grants is even slightly better I agree that BLM line wasn't necessary but I guess with this album she really wanted to share everything that'd happened during the pandemic, 2020 and 2021. Things like weight gain/public's perception of women's body, break up stuff, Chuck's baby, etc 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fingertips 72,034 Posted February 28, 2023 No one would have made it through the album if "Arcadia" opened Blue Banisters. Let's get a grip. 10 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too.

I’ll never understand the Arcadia hate (aside from her questionable vocals). A highlight on Blue Banisters which is a mixtape and not an official part of Lana’s discography ✨ Excluding the mixtape, here are my post-2019 Lana singles rankings: White Dress > COTCC > A&W > Tunnel > LMLYLAW 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lanaparadiserey 23,423 Posted February 28, 2023 Wasn’t the BLM line in reference to her meeting her boyfriend at the protest or is that fake news? Just now, lilac heaven said: i really don’t and never understood the hatred of the BLM line in Text Book; i think it’s actually going to be kind of an amazing thing and future generations are going to be really moved by that lyric. kids are going to be learning about the summer 2020 protests in school for the rest of time, and that lyric is going to be so moving considering the context of when it was written during such a historical event. and i am black, nobody argue with me about this That is such a beautiful way of looking at it. I see that general idea a lot throughout Blue Banisters 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
