The title track gets to me every time. I do have a fear of being forgotten and I do want someone to love me until I love myself. 

[PARADIXO 33,123]

if you get it you get it if you dont you dont when you know you know and if you don't know maybe tomorrow you'll know

In the end, it's a great album with a lot of effort put into it, I can actually see it getting at least a grammy nomination. 

[Pink Flamingo 17,169]

she's gonna earn her first two grammys with this album 

[Prettywhenyoudye 1,539]

anyone else in SF to see Lana at Outsidelands? 🥹💘

[daphnedinkley 13,773]

random list of moments from this album that i love:

• when kintsugi starts playing and you hear that initial “there’s a certain point, the booooody can’t come back from…..” chills every single time

• the sheer chaos of the interludes

• the outro of grandfather

• when candy necklace’s tempo picks up in its second chorus and goes a little jazzy

• the added vocals during “down in florence alabaaaaaama” in paris texas

• the bass intro of peppers !! so cool

• additionally in peppers, when it breaks down into a surf rock style for like 10 seconds!!! soooooooo rad

• “skippin rope in the bayou / slip softly into rain” from fishtail, just such a gorgeous lyric - oh and “wearing nothing but the summer bruises on my knees” UGH gorgeous

• the random swooshing noise in fingertips that i assume is meant to obscure the word “mother”

 

honestly, i just love this record so much  

[Cult Leader 5,661]

I love the whistle in Kintsugi, reminds me of Lemony Snicket and his brother in the netflix adaptation of ASOUE

Help, tittie picture is going viral on Twitter again

I strongly disliked the sparkle sound effect in Fingertips the first 100 times I heard it, but for some reason listening to the song last night the sparkle kind of clicked and almost made me cry. It makes it seem like her mother is some Disney-esque villain that can't even be spoken about by the princess because the thought it just too scary, the pain too real. It's like some fairy godmother is taking the word out of the song to protect her

I still hate the effect but I can accept it now after this thought process

When someone says they love BB and rank it high, I mentally blacklist them and never read anything they say again. And not just on the topic of LDR lmao

Love this ranking! Pretty similar to mine, especially the bottom slate.

What about your thoughts on the rest of the tracks she dropped this year? Hollywood Bowl?
