soty is based on song writing

roty is based on production

Damn that makes me so sad. He was really great, so genuine and calming, and appreciated tons of small details in the music. I loved him I hope all is okay

Aaron's okay. It is temporary. I get it, because sometimes I have to walk away from my laptop and twitter accounts to get stuff done . . .

I think Kintsugi is a much better contender for SOTY compared to A&W.

 

 

A&W- best alternative performance ?

[Make me your Dream Life 87,789]

there's a reluctance in me to listen to Sweet but not in the way that you might think. personally, past it's hymn-like sound, there's a genuine gem of a song. the subject matter, 

the refs of finding a basic woman at the beverly center's a jab, and ref's chemtrails title track (wealth, opulence but for nothing day gazing)

do you wanna run marathons? is so so much better from malt-liquor on your breath my my my/ old man's a bad man = a man that's a bit more leveled to her own place in life. 

magic in my hands/ stars in my eyes, I'm a different kind of woman, ...(find me) refs Arcadia (as well as it's musical/theater sound)

do you want children, do u wanna marry me? whatcha doin with your life, where we come from? 
do you wanna do all these things w me? 

it's a soft response away from her lover's perspective, distanced away but she still leaves the door open, not from a place of desperation/ need, but from a place of self-assurance and poise. 

how the piano rolls and cascades to keep the tempo. the chorus sounding like the tracing of her dress as she might be twirling in it in sunlight

Best song on the album period. Definitely a highlight in her career. Or maybe I just think that because I can heavily relate to the whole song

Song of the year, or record of the year nominee, will be Candy Necklace. A&W is critic fav, but not mainstream enough for that award. The subject matter is too edgy . . . Also, does anyone on here agree it is telling mainly about white girl problems? Not that they are not universal . . . Black child abuse is incestuous rape by an uncle . . . or, being prostituted out by family members. What was Oprah's deal? From wikipedia:

Quote

Winfrey has stated she was molested by her cousin, uncle, and a family friend, starting when she was nine years old . . . Winfrey once commented that she had chosen not to be a mother because she had not been mothered well.[42] At 13, after suffering what she described as years of abuse, Winfrey ran away from home.[24] When she was 14, she became pregnant, but her son was born prematurely and died shortly after birth.[43] Winfrey later stated she felt betrayed by the family member who had sold the story of her son to the National Enquirer in 1990.

Oprah went on to graduate college and become a successful journalist, parlay that into a hit show, and touched lives, mine included! That is before the time of most of the Lanaboards members. Oprah had everybody on the show, even kleptomaniacs, survivors of abuse, and Southerners who used the "n" word! Besides celebs. The reviewers who read A&W as chaotic have it right, imo. But some are saying in Part II, Lana is claiming her freedom and living it up. Because it sends mixed messages that Lana has historically had pinned on her, which are not true, I think it shouldn't be a contender.

Candy Necklace, a collab with John Batiste, already a Grammy fav, might be a suitable nominee. I think all the songs on Ocean Boulevard album could be, except Judah interlude, which I never heard. I love them, except the last two are a bit too gritty for me . . . Candy Necklace is just as worthy as any of them.

A&W I agree with the commenter who said, "A&W is a masterpiece for feminine pain." Across cultures, adults sticking children with adult accountability and shame is real.

Kintsugi would make half the voters jump out a window from sadness, that song is 6 minutes of pure depression. Title Track, A&W or CN or Paris, Texas all have better chances ( maybe not PT cus it's technically a sample?) I dunno I don't know the rules and I'm not sure Lana cares anymore.

I will give that Fingertips is some her best lyrics on the album!!!! but what does the song itself, a cinematic ballad, "do for the album" after literally all the songs before it (minus A&W) are all cinematic ballads lol, especially since it's JUST after Kintsugi which was already a slow piano ballad about family/loss/etc. It just feels unnecessary

Fingertips is the heart of this album for me, where she is at her most vulnerable and makes her most shocking confessions. It's the climax, everything before is a kind of preparation, and everything after is relaxation.

btw I like the title very much, because it's the most touching song
