[Make me your Dream Life]

it's different, listening to The greatest when you think about a dream instead of thinking about a person while it plays.

The sun was brighter when this dropped

[Vertimus]

The Greatest is the greatest, one of her best, and the vocal passages on the refrain—I'm waaayyysted—are brilliant, stunning but not too too much.

i don't think it's a ranking cuz i wouldn't accept NFR! at number 79 myself

[Super Movie]

The fact that this album is about to be 5 years old  It still feels like a "new" Lana album to me, but at the same time, every song feels so nostalgic and brings me back to summer 2019

There is so much recency bias on this list already(not talking about NFR) but at least it’s on there. 

[love deluxe]

was listening to california yesterday and i had almost forgot how much i adore that song and this whole album. its just perfect.

 

i shouldn’t have done it but i read it in your letter. you said to a friend that you wished you were doing better. i wanted to reach out but i didn’t say a thing…

The greatest is lowkey underrated imo. It should be considered a classic in her discography Also the FIILY/The Greatest music video , the aesthetic and the vibes are gorgeous and so beautiful. I really wish it had a monologue, that would have been the Cherry on top

Also this song has such a closer energy, I really love Hope as the album closer but I think The Greatest - Hope Is Dangerous A Thing would have been so powerful as the last two songs on the album

The Greatest introduces us to the last part of the album and I like the closing trio so I am not mad though

 

Also it's such a bummer that she never played The Greatest live except one time acapella. I just know a live performance would have been so stunning

And imo she really should have added The Greatest, Fuck it I love you, California and Cinnamon Girl to the NFR! Tour setlist but anyways

I would prefer the greatest as an official closer. So much energy

Full agree— The Greatest is up there with Yayo, Cola, Ride, Video Games, Old Money, 13 Beaches, Heroin, Yosemite, and If You Lie Down With Me in my book—among the best of her [released] songs to my ear. It would have made a perfect album closer, just as 13 Beaches should have opened LFL. 

[PARADIXO]

The greatest guitar solo live would be amazing
