plush 656 Posted May 25, 2014 One of my favorites actually, the vocals are just perfection, and I love the instrumental too. The layering of her high voices make it truly soothing and sensual. I can't. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ultraviolenced 64 Posted July 16, 2014 Her vocals here are striking. This is a song I listen to when I just need to rest. 0 Quote YOU CALL ME LAVENDER, YOU CALL ME SUNSHINE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lernerderrey 2,415 Posted May 20, 2016 is she talking about labor day in the beginning (i think she is)http://womens-fashion.lovetoknow.com/Why_Is_It_Bad_to_Wear_White_After_Labor_Day i know it's one line, but if she is referencing labor day, then it's the most poetic way of stating it. god bless this song.does anyone know what the "mermaid video" line is referencing? it cant be about the video for this song becuz she's writing about something she did in the past? i want more lana music to be written like this plz(with better production quality) 0 Quote i am the queen of the universe. the waves part, and they engulf me, and the water is warm. https://onlineparades.bandcamp.com/album/sure-jan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
