Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[living legend]

Kintsugi might take the #1 spot as my favourite lana song ever. 

 

I cry every single time I listen to the track. It says all the things I could never put into words and the meaning behind it is just so beautiful. Our hearts will break but that’s how the light gets in to make us full again.

Kintsugi  isn't in my top 5 and it's not the catchiest song on the album but for some reason it's on repeat in my head for 2nd day now.

oh i interpreted the song to be about depression or something, travelling around trying to find fulfillment but unable to find it, and the time to go being literally and metaphorically

My interpretation of paris texas is that it works on two levels. One is about feeling out of place geographically. But the last verse turns it into a song that's also about feeling out of place in a relationship. When u reach that point where u know it's over and time to leave. Works rly well with the reference to the movie which also touches on those themes.

I think I’d prefer the grants a lot more without the Melodye, Pattie, & Shikena intro. 
 

Does anyone have any strong opinions about this portion of the track?

The more I listen to the album front to back, and picture the tunnel metaphor, the more that the last 3 tracks do already kind of feel like bonus tracks. I, unexpectedly, agree with Fantano that "Margaret" sort of feels like a closer track--and I think both "Sweet" and "Margaret" are the lights at the respective end of each tunnel.

 

But I do agree that the last 3 tracks may be a hint of the direction that LDRX is heading, and I'm incredibly excited for that

Honestly harmony of their voices is the best for me too.
