i don't hate this song but it's really gonna need quite a few listens.

 

the intro shouldn't've been as long as it was (shoulda stopped after (one, two, ready). and generally i don't like album openers and closers being singles. i wanna experience the start of an album when i'll get context after the first song (if you know what i meaned).

 

gonna try to fall in love with it by march 24th :/

my opinion was STUPID here lmao i love the grants now

your mind 

this song is particularly tricky for me because I instantly think of it as "family" related but when you put it that way it does make sense she's talking to a partner...

at first I thought she was talking to Rob since she keeps bringing this concept of "family line" which correlates to her karmic lineage that she brought up in BBS and well, I'm rambling at this point.

I do find the concept of death all over it. Not as a bad thing tho, literally and metaphorically as both an ending and a new beginning to something better on the other side.

Especially with her saying “you’re a family man, but, but…” it makes me think of Sean possibly stringing her along while he was engaged. He would claim he cares about family and seemed to have at one point promised her a family of their own and yet…

I’m coming back to this to say maybe the “hard stuff” she’s mentioning in the second verse includes her letting go of this relationship because it’s what spurred her to look into her family history and now she’s learned what she needs to. She’s left the relationship in the past for her family line.

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.

 

Yeah. I'm pretty sure that it is mind. When one of the performer is correcting, she's definitely saying Mind and when they all continue, they are definitely saying that as well. 

 

Lana is mumbling so we don't hear the D at the end and that's probably why the backup singers got it wrong at first (The probably learned by listening and not by reading the correct lyrics).

whoops! I actually can't hear lol.

do you think about heaven…

[Creyk 11,699]

This and grandfather build so well to that climax-moment in their respective songs that I just love hearing. Here the song reaches it's high point with the line "my sister's first born child" which is very telling. She must love that baby so much.

The piano f*cking hits and “So you say there’s a chance for us?”

 

… I just love this song so much. It’s the Lana opening I had been waiting for, for years.
