String instrumental doing the “hey ya last call” melody after the chorus

Gives me such a riding into the distance vibe

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

[BethDufreneOnTheBayouByYou]

this album is going to be a fresh breeze on a hot summer day omggggg henry the way you have accelerated my hype for this album beyond words 

[American Whore]

Spoiler

so if this is the lead and not a promo single which i can't tell which it is, what does the album sound like? because this isn't giving country to me really. maybe im wrong? but its pleasantly listenable without being hillbilly music about beer, trucks, mudding, and tits or whatever with the cheesy acoustic guitars mixed with loud pop drum beats that country music does now

 

[Sierra]

This song is so,so good! Been listening to it on a loop.

[The Missing Shade of Blue]

Spoiler

I'm not familiar with country music at all, but I'm just gonna pretend that Lana has pioneered a country subgenre with this track by mixing twang with lush strings ugh HER MIND

Do you by chance identify as some kind of tree nut?

[West Coast]

Spoiler

The vocal progression leading to the chorus reminds me of Wrecking Ball. The Brooklyn Baby comparison is inch resting... 

 

[Beautiful Loser]

Reading what you all compare the song to makes me HYPED, but also worried that my below zero expectations will rise and still not met. If that makes any sense lol.

[cashcomesquick]

Lanita reinventing herself with each album. When will your fave?

[Lanaparadiserey]

Spoiler

This is giving exactly what I wanted a Lana Del Rey country song to give…I definitely wasn’t expecting this song to be so major for me.
