The Grants

[Elle 121,279]

One, two, ready

I’m gonna take mine/mind with/of you with me

Ah, mine! Say it again!

Mine of you with me

Thank you, one more time

One, two, ready

I’m gonna take mine/mind of you with me

I’m gonna take mine/mind of you with me

I’m gonna take mine/mind of you with me

Like Rocky Mountain High

The way John Denver sings

 

So, you say there’s a chance for us

Should I do a dance for once?

You're a family man, but

But

 

Do you think about heaven?

Ah, ha

Do you think about me?

My pastor told me

When you leave all you take

Ah, ha

Is your memories

& I’m gonna take mine of you with me

I’m gonna take mine of you with me

 

So many mountains too high to climb

So many rivers so low, but I’m

Doing the hard stuff

I’m doing my time

I’m doing it for us

For our family line

 

Do you think about heaven?

Ah, ha

Do you think about me?

My pastor told me

When you leave all you take

Ah, ha

Is your memories

& I wanna take mine of you with me

I’m gonna take mine of you with me

Yeah, I’m gonna take mine of you with me

Like Rocky Mountain High

The way John Denver sings

 

My sister's first-born child

I’m gonna take that too with me

My grandmother’s last smile

I’m gonna take that too with me

It’s a beautiful life

Remember that too for me

Ah, ha ha, ha ha

Ah, ha ha, ha ha

Ahh, ahh…

WHAT THE HELL is the vibe of the album at this point?????? Depressed christian hoe? whatever it is mother's taking us to church tonight

 

[acacia 358]

UGHHHH ITS SO BEAUTIFUL 

[one time beauty queen 18,411]

These John Denver ‘Rocky Mountain High’ lyrics 

 

"He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below

He saw everything as far as you can see

And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun

And he lost a friend but kept the memory"

going so beautifully w The Grants lyrics/theme, no wonder she name dropped, I love that

it's what Harry Nilsson's 'Don't Forget Me' was to the title track

[jaesana 3,605]

Lanaboards is alive again 

The song is sooo beautiful 

[serenequ33n 200]

Sobbing wow

[Lasso 13,197]

About the intro; I talked about this back on the pre-release thread under spoiler tags

 

"In music, call-and-response is a compositional technique that works similarly to a conversation. A “phrase” of music serves as the “call,” and is “answered” by a different phrase of music. These phrases can be either vocal, instrumental, or both [...] If you think of gospel music, for example, you will immediately recognize the technique: it’s when the pastor or song leader calls out or siwelp not her explaining why she kept it right as I was typing this LMAO idk I still think it makes sense ngs a line, and the congregation or choir responds."

 

This is my personal interpretation of why Lana chose to have the choir girls on the intro 

 

welp not her explaining why she kept it right as I was typing this LMAO idk I still think it makes sense though 

[luna de miel 3,212]

she did it again

 

[honeymoonboulevard 323]

While it’s lovely sounding and beautifully written it’s not what I’d have went with to pre-empt the album …  definitely will take a few listens to get into and I don’t think it’s a song I’ll have on repeat - although that is subject to change (I didnt like Terrence when it debuted on the radio but it’s now something I play often)

 

the track list for this album is long so I don’t think we really know what to expect with the overall vibes of the album, and I did like DYKTTATOUB and A&W 

[bluedealer 4,935]

And then she sings Don't forget me 

This album is already huge oh wow 

The fact it's going to be festival set list's outro

I feel like this entire part of the song, the singers are saying "Mind", even the lady correcting the other singers sounds like she's saying Mind.

[Bonita 12,531]

could it be possible that the title isn't only in relation to her family but the literal meaning of "Granting" ?

 

maybe it's intentional idk but i've been thinking about it 

[Yosemite 23,786]

@Elle you should correct the second line, they're mistakenly singing mind, not mine

[prettywhenimhigh 49,329]

gorgeous!!! one of her best openers for sure

[Mer 61,734]

I agree with others, there's a back and forth between "mine" and "mind" going on in the opening. 

[lanasozempicpen 3,486]

lana is saying "mine" not "mind"?

Today is the second anniversary of a friend’s passing and in three weeks, it’ll be the anniversary of my mother’s passing. This one really hit hard today. Gorgeous song.
