I've officially entered the era of anxiety that the Candy Necklace video will never see the light of day and will join the list of projects she's mentioned and then never spoke of again. It's honestly criminal releasing this masterpiece of an album without a single music video... :crai:

 

while bb, a far lessor album, had 3 videos.

Just wanted to drop this song here because I think in a way, it pertains to a lot of the folk themes recently explored by Lana and definitely belongs alongside the Crosby Stills and Harry Nilsson references.

 


 

Spoiler

Snowqueen of Texas
Left Paris in a cloud of smoke
They say she may be beaten
But I know that she's not broke
She's living in a cool green farmhouse

if you go to Houston , be quiet as a mouse

I listen to 'Taco Truck' and 'LTLI' the most and about equally, and then 'Fishtails,' which I prefer to its fraternal twin, 'Tulsa Jesus Freak.'  

 

'Margaret' isn't a bad song, in my opinion, Lana just tried to do too much with it, with Jack singing (somewhat clumsily; maybe it's the production or the mastering) and then all the talking at the end. Whether it fits on the album is another question--it belongs to the lighter/brighter side of OC, 'Sweet,' 'Grandfather,' 'The Grants,' 'LTLI.'  

 

I like Lana's vocals on 'Candy Necklaces' verses a lot. Classic 'dark' Lana. The 'Rockafella My Umbrella' part I don't really care for; the use of the 'Rockafella' seems completely random. Maybe the song was rushed, especially the chorus.

I think this is the most essential part of the song, my interpretation is: 

rockafella = rich older man, someone who buys her the diamond necklaces 

umbrella = his protection function 

 

but it seems that she's not herself but someone else, or maybe it's a kind of woman she wanted to be when she was younger (maybe inspired by a movie?). Anyway I feel a lot of BTD vibes in this song. :thirst:

Yeah, I get the rich older man and the 'kept girl' or 'sugar baby' aspect, I just wish it was slightly more lyrically cohesive. And that does tie in, lyrically, to some of the BTD/P themes. The 'rockafella' part, musically, sort of jars with the rest of the song for me.

Still hoping that BOZ’s big “surprise” that he was referencing is a visual for every song on the album. And that’s why it’s taking forever to see any videos, because she’ll release them all at once?

My favourite part of this album is from the Grants and up to Taco Truck x VB. That part of the record really slaps :true:

 

That part is so good :trisha:
