This right here says it all. Old Money, Honeymoon, Yayo, all of these songs of which I’d consider her best, would be shit on. And the thing is people say she needs to “go back to her old sound” when those quite literally are her old sound and are just as slow and sparse as anything today. 
 

I agree so strongly with your entire comment. I think the younger fans of media, which you do see the majority of on tik tok, are obsessed with the perceived aesthetic of things and couldn’t care less about the ideas presented when they don’t align exactly with their own. Which is a scary place to be for art. White Lotus and Lana are great examples but it goes way beyond them.

"same song since 2014" Do they even hear themselves ? I’m honestly speechless at how clueless these people are 

 

I mean, who cares about other people's opinions, especially when they have terrible taste lol . If you like it then that's enough

I couldn’t care less about their tasteless opinions  it’s honestly hilarious how clueless they are. I’m just glad Lana boards are full of great reviews and good energy.  Im gonna stop with twitter ive seen enough

Yeah! Usually stuff that appeals to the lowest common denominator is never that intriguing or interesting so they can stick to their REDACTED

 

The song is still on a  loop HELP, this is hyping me up so much for the album. I hope we have more strings in other songs

[Rita Hayworth]

I haven't said anything until now because I wanted to let the song sit with me for a day. 

I agree in part with those who say the mixing is a bit shoddy, however Lana's emotional delivery outweighs all its 'flaws' etc. I also wish that the song was a little longer to round off the ending a little better, the strings had way more potential. Howeverrr, these are my only quarrels so to speak. I love it so much and can't WAIT for the album omg.

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

[NikoGo]

Those strings playing the “last call hey yall” melody after the second chorus is so satisfying 

[Platinum Greenwich]

I don't exactly understand the response I have to this song tbh

 

it's probably not one of my favorites but I also feel like it's one of the best she's ever put out??????

 

maybe it's just a clarity of artistic vision that's getting to me idfk

[All Around the Moon]

Also, am I the only *one who expected her to say "Henry is gone" after that "hey" at the end of the song? It would just fit so naturally and I fill it in every time.

Typo

I like Henry but do not love it yet. Lyrically, it seems a little clumsy.

 

Maybe all of a sudden it will click, I'll hear it in a new way, the way I did Arcadia, and it will seem like magic.

Yes!!! By the nature of modern media consumption you have to flatten music/art to discuss it. A long-form video interpreting the lyrics of Henry wouldn't go viral, but a short-form video about the picsart cover or the "republican country" sound will. With White Lotus too, only the more dramatic storylines like the gay incest get discussed, or absurd theories. I do think there's room to critique artists, don't get me wrong, but I feel like fandoms nowadays are mostly people who don't even particularly enjoy the things they're consuming, so it all leads to a cycle of frustration and misinterpretation. If you didn't like the last four albums, just give up at this point. She's probably not gonna make a avant garde trap post-punk Williamsburg record at this point in her life.

Yes, happened to me too the first time I listened to it.
