i think a&w , candy necklace and taco track are the most surprising songs on the album. i could imagine that she will further develop this sound on ldr 10.

kintsugi is already the most underrated song on the album.

[Cake Bush]

Eartha was right

[how the light shines in]

kintsugi has really touched something inside my heart. not just one of my favourite Lana songs.. but one of my favourite songs ever written. I get more emotional every time I listen to it.

that's how the light gets in ladies, she's very very happy, she did it 

[evalionisameme]

Fishtails fits so randomly on the album- I’m not still not convinced it isn’t a LFL reject 

 

Peppers is catchy 

[Rachel97]

So glad we're finally in the post release!

 

I'm on my second listen of the album at work, and I'm glad people can't see me because I'm having emotions about the album

My dogs and guinea pigs are fed. I’m eating breakfast and then it’s time 

[Delete NOW]

After several listens:

1. A&W
2. Paris, Texas
3. Fishtail
4. Peppers 
5. Candy Necklace
6. Taco Truck (alone)
7. Taco Truck x VB
8. Jon Batiste Interlude
9. Sweet
10. Kintsugi
11. The Grants
12. Ocean Blvd
13. Let The Light In
14. Grandfather

15. Margaret
16. Judah Smith Interlude
17. Fingertips

 
 

Grandfather would have been so much higher but I just can’t stand her voice during the chorus? Climax? The whispery airy high voice is horrible but she keeps using it. The hissing hurts my ears . Text Book is the same way. Candy Necklace too tbh but somehow it works in that song and it definitely does not sound as hissy. Anyway, it’s so hard to rank songs. Things shift every other listens .

Put fishtails and peppers are soooo powerful and lfl.

The ballads of this album are a serve, they sound like poetry in the best possible way, they are so classy, emotional, real, the melodies are so beautiful and I say that being a BB hater (I don't hate it but yk). Honestly I didn't expect that at all, I've only listened until "Fingertips" so far and I can't wait to listen more later

spilled for once. 

[Southern GOTHIC]

Fingertips broke my heart

Some people were like "Oh maybe she needed to dial back on the mom shade," which tbh just sounds silly.

But I just had a thought - because they just took out the main vocal (which is why you can still hear "mother" in the underlying harmony beneath the instrumental,) there's honestly a chance that the "censoring" of the word is rather...how do I explain this.

Basically the question answers itself because Lana's saying, no, that wasn't a mother at all. Why even humor the idea that a mother would be the person Lana's mother was to her? Why call her a mother in any way?

I don't know. It's 4 A.M., I'm high. I wish we had the original, BUT for some reason, thinking of it like that... I get it?

 

She basically said “to me mother is a slur “
