Tomorrow Never Came (ft. Sean Ono Lennon)

[bigspender 8,368]

i hope this isnt a weird song where they basically just talk to eachother the whole time

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

Having trouble with the snippet lyrics

[Flowerbomb 65,593]

Btw it's "tropic of cancer" after the book by Henry Miller

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

ok after relistening to the snippet over and over finally got the right lyrics

 

"Why?

Don't ask me why, why, why, why, why, why

Lay lady lay

And inside of paradise

In the tropic of cancer

'Cause if I had my way

You would always stay

and I"

[Make me your Dream Life 87,775]

I'm so excited for this track. It just oozes the 70s. Make me groovy psychedelic queen

[Sagrad 670]

I can already tell this is gonna be one of her most underrated songs

I think it might be 'on/and This Side of Paradise' after the book by F Scott Fitzgerald, which would keep with the theme of literary references with Tropic of Cancer coming after it?

 

It does sound a bit like a 'd' sound but I wonder if that's maybe just Lana's turn of phrase like she's saying 'dis side of paradise' more than pronouncing the 'th' sound. I'm sure she's done that before

The snippet is such a tease. This is going to be so good.

[cherryblossoms 10,415]

This song is gonna be Hawaiian Tropic 2.0

The snippet gives me so much Beatles vibes

[YesAlen 117]

OMFG??!! The melody and the guitar are so heavenly.

Psychedelic folk I'm soooo digging it

[KillForLove 13,361]

[SwayTokyo 867]

I cried the first time, I cried this second time. Fuck! Brilliance.

[La Dolce Vita 228]

Such a fucking tearjerker. I love how evocative it is- it reads like a sepia tinted film. Look after the person you love.

I visualized Tittenhurst Park when she mentioned a country house & the chorus brought this photo session of John & Yoko to mind:





This is the second time Lana has mentioned Lay Lady Lay- the first being Religion. It's so interesting how many references may be/are in this song:

"Tiny Dancer" - Elton John
"Lay Lady Lay" - Bob Dylan

"Ask Me Why" - The Beatles

Even the title could be a love letter to "Tomorrow Never Comes" by Elvis, "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles, or "Tomorrow May Never Come" by Yoko.

[Masochism 15,400]

Brilliant

[Mind Melt 10,095]

may or may not have cried multiple times

[DCooper 36,914]

This song is truly heartbreakingly beautiful. One of her best ever.

[cherriesandwine 700]

I have found my people

 

it was the song that affected me most on first listen like as soon as lana sang 'but tomorrow never came' the first time I burst into tears and cried the whole rest of the song and it's my fucking favourite of life and i am going to force my boyfriend to adore it so when we get married 1 day it can be our first dance and i will die and be buried in my wedding dress but then some1 will play it at my funeral and i will Rise

[KillForLove 13,361]

Tbh I don't know why but the line "You said you'd love me like no tomorrow, I guess tomorrow never came" at the end KILLS me
