Summer hail and summer stranger

 

Could this line be "Summer hell and summer stranger"? That's what I've always heard, and it makes more sense to me than hail. Besides, I've always felt "summer hell" was much more evocative of the song's air of desperation 

[Goddess 224]

I know the comment I'm replying to was written in 2015, but 'chantilly lace catching on the chandelier' makes me think someone was taking off her lingerie and throwing it out of the way in their passion.

True that. But when's the last time you've seen a chandelier in a low-ceilinged room, and how hard would it be to throw lace up there? This might reinforce the idea that they were floating; however, I also recognize that she likes to be ambiguous.

I always thought she was saying 'some are' not summer

You look like a Florida native

"Are you?" I said, at the rate of

Slow molasses from the state of

Vermont with a Southern drawl

 

sorry to bump this thread but this line always reminds me of this scene in the office

I AM DYING 

 

 

but also i pray there's a studio version of this song, like 1949 

[Trash Magic 28,437]

I hear white kinda sequin jumpsuit ghost

[Trash Magic 28,437]

omg just had a revelation.

 

Platinum and veil, acrylics skim the paper for the critics 

 

makes sense because veil links back to chantilly lace. Because of the way the sentence was broken I always thought the words platinum and "vale" or whatever was describing the colour of her acrylic nails. But it's her with her platinum hair wearing a veil (like in the yayo video!) skimming through the paper with her acrylic nails 

 

These lyrics are so great, paint such a picture.

 

However I am now hearing "white kind of" to be a pretty big reach in the first chorus especially   but in te last chorus I hear it 

[trayertrash 7,211]

What's an Elvis? 

[Mafiosa 1,090]

sorry but this is so incredibly haunting and one of her best lyrically, compositionally, and yes vocally

[Trash Magic 28,437]

Invented music

Your resurrection is upon us

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,073]

occasionally i get this song on the brain, and every time i really just marvel at it

 

truly one of her best -- i don't know if she ever has or ever will top some of the imagery and mood set here

It's a very unique aesthetic so probably not.

[Alison by Slowdive 26,151]

is it possibly her best song of all time? yeah
