Just noticed the ‘twisting all my bones like screws’ line in TC is similar to the line about turning screws in Needle and Thread. So many lyrical connections with the scrapped songs. 

Also the “look at the mess I’ve done” lyric in Void reminds me a lot of the “look at the mess you’ve done” in WDBCF, but I could be reaching

He's a HUGE country star who's album blocked Melanie's from #1 (he also blocked Miley and Lana). If Melanie released a month earlier she would have gotten #1. He's also racist and a MAGA, got exposed for yelling racial slurs while drunk. 

I hate country and also hate the fact that he also doesn’t see an issue at all with these actions. 
 

anyway, happy to see Mel and Ashnikko in the same playlist for Best New Songs. Queens.

Do we have any portals official instrumental yet?

[CoochieSwirlC 2,066]

Yea.. I still think the mixing on this album is really off. It’s definitely apparent while listening to the vinyl, her vocals are kind of all over the place in volume?

I'll probably get banned from the site for this, but am I the only one who would've rather had Fingers Crossed + Needle & Thread over this version of Sirens? I like it a lot, but I'm not going to lie, some of it just isn't for me.

 

Like the "let them drown" part? I don't know why but it just sounds grating to my ears, and I usually love songs like that. I think it could've been perfect with a little more work, and maybe taking bits and pieces from each demo to make the superior studio version.

 

EDIT: Speaking of which, I really prefer the first demo of Sirens to the final version used at the end of the song. The way she sings "they covered their ears, my love. When you sound the alarm, they plan for a storm" is just perfect for me. Hope it comes back around somehow!

Here’s 10 reasons why Garden should have made it into the album:

 

1. It would be the track that the album cover would be based on. It’s literally a garden portal. 
2. “When you aren’t around I sink into the ground.” - Death

3. “Honeysuckle and Fresh Meat” - Tunnel Vision

4. “Mushrooms Everywhere I’m Turning” - Faerie Soiree

5. “Covered in muck from the earth (Garden) and the sea (Sirens)” - Venus

6. “You cleansed me like a waterfall” - Light Shower in response to “hey where’d the water go?” 
7. The entire song Spider Web is meant to go into Garden. Garden is suppose to be between leeches and Spider Web.

8. “They flocked to my garden” - Leeches

9. The seeds have been sprouting” - Pluto

10. “Dug out a hole, and sow, that’s where your body goes” - Garden connects well with Death.

 

In conclusion, Garden connects in theme and lyrics to over half the album and deserved to be included. 
 

While The Contortionist and Powder don’t connect thematically at all to any of the album (Though both of those songs are AMAZING).

I love Sirens and it’s a career highlight, but for me it’s not one that I can repeat and repeat and repeat, just sort of a loud jarring song. I love it a lot but I would have taken those two over this one. I wonder why she limits herself to 3 deluxe tracks anyway when there’s so much material (same for CB but that was her debut album).

I keep on seeing people saying void is about Timothy 

Actually curious what that was about for her because it definitely seems personal

I was thinking Pluto was more aimed at her. But, could be.

doesn't a record label decide how many songs are on an album? i always thought that atleast

Any of the leaks would have fit the theme much better than Powder and Pluto, they both sound very out of place sonically and thematically, but I am glad we have both because they are great. We already have the leaks, so I guess it’s a win? I dunno. I would have picked N&T and Garden for the Deluxe tracks personally.

I wonder how different the album would have been without the leaks
