maysparkle 2,285 Posted May 19 Does anybody know why I can’t seem to find this song for purchase on the iTunes Store? Is it under a different name? 2 Quote The Log Lady [to Laura]: “When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out.

tulsa jesus freaks 9,348 Posted May 19 also i feel like the new production makes the song fall flat in the James Ford version the guitar loops drops for the second verse and then comes back for the second chorus, and after the second chorus we get a bridge/instrumental break with new chords, also the drum pattern changes throughout the song, all of these things make the song interesting and like a journey, but all of these things were removed from the released version, and it makes it feel like a loop almost 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmdr 9,609 Posted May 19 if I was James Ford, I would be fuming over the fact that 20 million people illegally streamed my song a year ago, did not see a penny from it, and now the official release is not even my version 12 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaesana 2,648 Posted May 19 Although I prefer the released version to the unreleased version, I still don't love the song, I lowkey never have (pretty mid for a Lana song imo), but I'm glad it will get the attention on TikTok and hopefully chart on radio. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Architecture1116 524 Posted May 19 18 minutes ago, mlittle11 said: listening to this version for the first time and its actually so pretty. a lot of dreamy elements were added n it has even more atmosphere than other versions. i hope lana enjoyed making this version n continues to add more atmosphere to future songs. i do miss the heavier drums but the bass line drums are enough to make the song interesting. similar situation with thunder demo and bb version! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MamaDelGhey 645 Posted May 19 It might not be my favorite version, but it’s still cute af. I slept with it on repeat last night just to get her a bunch of streams and send a message that we need more of this. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revadece 1,375 Posted May 19 i don’t think lana was pressured to release the song, but the fact that she didn’t say a word about it when it’s released (or at least that’s for now) makes me feel like it was more of a commercial move than the song meaning so much to her she had to release it as a single. i don’t think it was 100% commercial move because lana wanted to include this song in many albums and now maybe she can finally feels like she ‘freed’ herself from the song but i don’t think she would release it like that if it wasn’t for popularity 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yourolllikethunder 4,709 Posted May 19 the way my last.fm is ecstatic this is finally released so it can rank where it should !! call me a simpleton, but it’s always been my favorite unreleased track, so dreamy 😭 I’d love to get more from her in this space. I hope it charts well for her and makes that 💸💸💸 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honeymoon is alive 8,806 Posted May 19 1 hour ago, Xenoblade 2 said: Well, good luck with that. The original demo (James Ford slightly sped up version not the Honeymoon version) went viral because it’s the version people loved and everything about it was the reason it became so mainstream and popular. It wasn’t the smartest business move to tweak and alter it as much as Lana and her team did. People expected that specific version with the drums and all to be released, not a watered down version that clearly lacks in comparison. It’ll smash as hard as BAR and Thunder. you always underestimate lana's performance on streaming and sells. people love the song and are impacted by the official release and it WILL be a hit, just get over it. only lana stans care and know about this version thing 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
