SissyReed 578 Posted November 11, 2016 this is the best song on AKA, one of my faves... i can imagine her singing it in some bar in NYC, mourning after the lover she let go.... 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elle 121,280 Posted December 19, 2017 This song was written on Friday - June 16, 2006. The original line was "I pawned the earrings that you gave me. Gold & silver flowers hanging." (so it's safe to say the official new line is "metal flowers" rather than "made of flowers" since that's been up for debate.) 18 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13bitches 6,176 Posted May 18, 2020 Just wanted to stop by and pay my respects to this absolute gem that sis pays dust :') To this day one of her best imo 6 Quote If by not 'up to par' you mean distilling the worst elements that only kind of work in songs, sure. I could put a dictionary audiobook on shuffle and put it to an instrumental of old money and some of y'all would still be saying it's 50/50 lmfao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dark Angel 202,174 Posted May 18, 2020 "i can't do this once more, no man can keep me together, been broken since i was born" i feel this lyric on a spiritual level, this is one of the best songs she's ever written honestly. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

American Whore 51,313 Posted January 22 In the name of higher consciousness I let the best man I knew go 'Cause it's nice to love and be loved But it's better to know all you can know This part makes me wonder if she's talking about that Aaron Green guy she mentioned in Fingertips - it could be a stretch but I'm just thinking. Like, "it's better to know all you can know" makes me think of education and how she was sent away to a school, and the rest she had to let go of her life back at Lake Placid with the guy she liked 4 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
