So now I can see Fenway intro song being on this album, I think we're not ready for what is coming

 

Haha. Would love that since I loved Fenway so much. But I can't see that.

 

I can see Tough on the record though. 

[Super Movie]

I feel like I've been really distant from Lana and her music lately, so I'm really excited about what everyone who's heard the song has to say. Looking forward to tonight! 

[Beautiful Loser]

It’s not officially out yet in that many countries yet though, is it? It won’t make any noise or buzz until Friday morning or afternoon.

[psycholifeguard]

the insiders are literal liars cause this song is so fcking perfect omg

 

They probably heard an early demo with just the acoustic guitar pluck and Lana's voice.

 

But to be honest the song-writing is so good and the melody is so good that I wouldn't mind that low-key version.

 

Henry beats all of her singles and collabs since Ocean Boulevard and AW. So: Grants, Candy Necklace, Lost at Sea, Tough, The Abyss, etc.

I need to know @barttttender's reaction to Henry 

 

 

Hahahaaha. I posted already, babes. 

 

"Okay, I'm over the fucking Moon. We won.

 

 

- Henry far exceeded my expectations.

- Not All Those Who Wander meets Young & Beautiful. I did not see that coming. 

- Clearly the snippet we heard last year was an early demo with just the guitar and Lana's voice. 

- Full orchestral Lana is my favorite ballad-mode Lana. I am fed. 

- The production is soo Americana, lush, and expansive, I'm gagged.

- The violins, MY GAWD.

- I definitely hear a bit of Ride, a bit of How to Disappear, a bit of Chemtrails, a bit of Ocean Boulevard... But this is also clearly a new era.

- Just the right amount of country, and the right amount of (classic) Lana. 

- Y'all would hate me for saying this, but Tough would fit really well near this track. It's just as dense and country-infused. Kinda like Doin' Time following on from Mariner's. 

- The instrumental before the bridge is gorgeous AF.

- Definitely first single-worthy.

- Henry ---> Blue Banisters, Let Me Love You Like a Woman, and it's not even close.

- And we thought it was going to bomb. Lana really had the last laugh. 

 

What I'm not a fan of:

 

- The annoying sound of vocal reverb sneaking up right before she starts singing. I will never NOT hear it. 

- The first time I listened to the song, I could not understand any of the lyrics in the chorus due to the high register she's singing in. Could be a very obvious sound recording, engineering or mixing issue because my Airpod Max are great. 

- In that sense, I think it's a far cry Young and Beautiful in terms of hook/catchiness. Not that it needed to be, but it's just odd not being able to understand what she's singing in the chorus at all when everything else is clear. It's a first for me with Lana. 

 

8/10. As far as first singles go, personal ranking:

 

Ride

West Coast

Video Games

Henry, Come On / Did You Know that that there's a Tunnel Ocean Boulevard

Mariner's Apartment Complex 

Love

High by the Beach

Let Me Love You Like a Woman / Blue Banisters 

 

(The last two tracks on this list. )"

 

[Three White Butterflies]

I fucking love it

We travelled to New Zealand!! 

[jimmyjimmycocoapuff]

i'm giggling and kicking my feet she made this song for the GIRLIES like her music has always been that but wow she really tapped into something beautifully feminine that the frail male heterosexual mind can't simply comprehend, Emily Dickinson, Sylvia Plath, your crowns are falling I FEAR

[PipeDelRey]

I'm crying! Lana's back!
But if you want, Lana, I'll give you the cover! 

TE AMO MI AMOR! 

 

[The Missing Shade of Blue]

Spoiler

Yesterday, I heard God say "you were born to be the one to hold the hand of the man who flies too close to the sun"

 

No because this line actually has so many layers. Divine femininity, martyrdom, loving the doomed man, the pain of watching brilliance destroy itself, but still choosing to be present and loving through it. We've seen these themes since her Sirens days, and it's just so beautiful to watch as her songwriting continues to bloom and mature
