Yosemite

[saith 1,185]

So did anyone else notice that in the pre-chorus she used the melody from the scraped verse from the Lust for life Demo ? 

 

The song is beautiful and fit so much in Chemtrails, lyric wise (I love how "We did it for free" mirror the For Free Cover), production wise, but also in term of vocal delivery. 

 

She was right when she said she wasn't there yet.  She is there now ! 

[Roll With me 5,667]

Just realised how much sense it makes to open the album with White Dress and finish with For Free

 

Edit: Just realised this is not the topic I thought it was, so to keep it on topic... Great song!! 

[Barry 5,934]

It was worth the wait, I really like it. Sounds like it should play at the end of a movie, kind of reminds me of this

What is compromising? Compromise for what? Compromising for what reason? A man comes into my life and I have to compromise? For what? For what? A relationship is a relationship that has to be earned!

...

I think there is nothing more beautiful in the world than falling in love. But falling in love for the right reasons, falling in love for the right purpose

 

 

 

Didn't Lana tweet this interview before?

To answer my own question: Yes, she did. She tweeted a video with the same extract of the interview on June 7th (or June 8th, according to your timezone), 2013. The tweet however is no longer available (she deleted it, yikes haha). Since she was dating Barrie during the time she tweeted the interview, and Yosemite is supposed to be a sister track to The Next Best American Record, I suppose it's ok to say Yosemite is another Barrie track

[TheBoss 13,507]

I just can't get over the fact that I feel like she sounds like a granny in the bridge, it gives me witchy vibes, but not the good kind, like she literally sounds like an old hag. 

 

I love the track though!

This week I dreamt about Yosemite - yes, i'm getting THAT crazy - and it sounded like GBA and it had a verse like the fire went out or something about the candle being blown out.

However, I think Yosemite sounds like a mix of BAR and Love and it has like a really good orchestration and before it hits the chorus there's like a climax moment. 

What was I thinking back then? 

[Off To The Races 2010 demo pls 19,336]

So... Does anyone know what "Burning at both ends" lyric mean? 

 

Excellent track btw

what i got from that is: imagine a rope and you set fire to the start of it and the end of it. it burns until there is nothing left. 
i also just checked out now and here the meaning of "to burn the candle at the both ends": If you burn the candle at both ends, you try to do too many things in too short a period of time so that you have to stay up very late at night and get up very early in the morning to get them done.

 

i think 2nd ones fits the song but i like my interpretation too, idc

Burning at both ends is like doing too much. You burn yourself out, you overdo it.

[BluebirdXO 7,679]

I can see why she thinks that this song is happy. She's finally putting a stone in her relationship with Barrie and is doing this without resentment.

 

It was good while it lasted vibes

[Hannus 1,618]

i really love how it just fits so well with her other art, we heard change and get free and then mac, which was about being stable enough for being there to other people and then her poetry and now we have finally arrived with her in yosemite and it is just so fucking beautiful.

Guys, please tell me I'm not the only one hearing what it sounds like the auto-tuned loon sound effect from Emile Haynie in some parts of the song? I know he's not involved but it sounds very similar. I hear it at 1:47 and 2:18. Mostly always after the lyric "the right reasons".

ive said it in a different tweet but imma put it here as well - its a sound effect rick used on several other songs off lfl like White Mustang etc, but its not the autotuned loon.

 

OT

this song is so beautiful and its just getting better with each listen... it feels like its only 2 mins long  way too short

Ikr? It sounds almost as if they wanted to emulate the autotuned loon. It's a very Lana sounding effect, at the end of the day.

Ikr! But it’s actually a 5 min long ass song and I just LOVE IT! The way it flows and also it’s so impeccably authentic 

[Moon River 2,365]

I don't know why but the juxtaposition of "You did it all for fame" versus "We did it for fun, we did it for free / I did it for you, you did it for me / We did it for the right reasons" got me like 

[strange weather 1,953]

I want to dance to this with my future wife at our wedding. So beautiful.

[lmdr 10,698]

but what if... “we did iT for fun, we iT for free...”

[Lindsay Lohan 10,458]

I really do think this is one of her all time worst written songs next to Let Me L*ve You Like A Woman

 

It's not as bad as LMLYLAW but it's so empty compared to her other songs
