For me it was more the case on Blue Banisters, especially on the songs Beautiful and Arcadia, her high notes really annoy me on those ones. I have no issue with the ones on Ocean Blvd though, the last "God if you're near me..." on Grandfather is one of my favorite moments on the record. 

But, on both the '3 white butterflies...', why does her voice sound so thin and strained? To me it sounds as if she either can't find the note or can't hit it, or it's just a very bad choice of notes, period, for her voice.

because butterflies are thin and fine, she can't use a heavy voice here ... I think her choices are all well thought out and serve a purpose

But it's not a matter of a 'heavy' voice, just one without strain. To me, it sounds very awkward and it jumps out at me every time. I can hit that note better than she does.

Completely opposite, to me it sounds relaxed and calming

For the first time on any LDR album, I hear a shrill quality in Lana's voice, especially on 'Grandfather,' 'The Grants,' and 'A&W,' but also a little on 'Fingertips.'

 

Does anyone else hear this? We're all such audiophiles here, I'm constantly amazed at the number of things different members are able to pick out, from annoying sounds to clicks and different instruments in the arrangements. 

 

Classic female vocalists like Laura Nyro and Kate Bush also occasionally had a shrill quality to their vocals--but Nyro sang in the loose, 'live' Amy Winehouse style, which made it tolerable, but when Bush goes shrill, as she does on several of her later albums ('The Sensual World' and 'The Red Shoes'), to me it's unlistenable. 

I don’t think I’d call it shrill but it’s what I would describe as “thin” where in the songs up until around 2017 (for the most part) showed more depth in her voice.

Did anyone else think of put the radio on when they heard let the light in? “I’m waiting by your back door, let me come in” 

“at your back door yelling cos i wanna come in”

I think Nikki Lane already confirmed that Lana is a pegger in her recent interview.

After hearing all these Lana ai songs of Melanie- I would like her next album to explore her childhood using toy sounds, 60s harmonies and revelations
