I feel like the picture she first announced Blue Banisters is from the album cover/ is the album cover 

Hoping it’s that photo of her with a pretty font . She looks beautiful and so contemplative .
Or a professional shoot but i don’t see it happening

what are the intro's and outro's like? i find these are really important parts of a song

blue banisters goes straight into the vocals and ends with piano and the synth fading out

text book starts with crickets and guitar and ends with white noise

wildflower wildfire starts with piano and ends with an organ (i think) that stops suddenly 

[Lustformoney]

Mike i thought u were supposed to be the synth goat

ugh yes i love fade outs, i hope it's a slow one, is it an acoustic guitar or electric?

I wonder if Mike will bring more synth into the others songs he's working on w Lana, WW doesn't seem too have too much of it

Listening to TB on headphones for the first time, I'm in the dark it's midnight and the choir in the second verse has me physically weeping. SO beautiful. A church-like experience. Finding God in this woman's voice. This is A Song. It lowkey annoys me the title is so nondescript cause it's soooo special I wish it had a name that, idk, was to the level of the music if that makes sense haha. Also her voice sounds so low compared to the instruments idk if that's my headphones

I thought the title fell a bit flat at first, too, but it actually fits the song really well. Not only in that it references her quest in finding fatherly love in a partner only to see it fail - so text-book Freudian daddy issues - but also in that it is the quintessential “text book” Lana song. Then again, it is interesting it hits me as such since she has never been so explicit before to open a song with such lyrics, but you can still tell as a fan that this song is purely uniquely her.

what a beautiful day  still hoping for Dealer on the album tho!!

[ItsACruelWorld]

Wildflower Wildfire  is themmaticaly so close to Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass and she really did that and I love it.

[thelastgirlonearth]

I'm so excited to see the tracklist, I wonder when she'll announce it 

[Terrence Loves Me]

Yeah you're totally right. I realised when I wrote my post that it was lowkey childish of me and there must be a very valid reason to have called it Text Book and I love it actually. It just kind of confuses me cause (pls don't drag me) I ADORE Notebook by Melanie Martinez my mind mixes them up

[KafkaOnTheBeach]

she posted the artworks without even putting up the links to the songs, she really is *unbothered* -qween

yeah not gonna lie I was expecting bomb ass synths I'm praying he saved those for other tracks 

[annedauphine]

Nah fuck me I'm having an actual breakdown. 2:48 to 3:16 of Text Book is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard from Lana, period. I know I say that every release but every time I mean it and this time is no exception. I don't even remember what BB and WW sound like, I've had TB on repeat since it it got out. This is extremely beautiful and I'm extremely moved
