i just need this song to go from the uber minimalism we heard in the snippet into a southern goth / country 10-minute VIBE ala Venice Bitch with 47 instruments working together to create the most beautiful harmony of Lana's career since, well, Venice Bitch, concluding the third part of jack x lana magnum opus trilogy:

 

1. Venice Bitch

2. A&W

3. Henry, Come on

 

Is that too much to ask?

[Sunbather Moonchaser]

Can't believe that tomorrow it's been a year since we heard this masterpiece and it's still not out

[Rock Candy]

 

Last call, hey y'all

Hang his hat up on the wall

Tell him that his cowgirl is gone

Come on and giddy-up

 

[Embach]

Happy 1 year snippet Anniversary! I still remember that day like yesterday, we were so excited then!  I loved it instantly because of the clear vocals and Tropico outtakes like guitar! Henry, please come on! 

[Pico Ocean Boulevard]

Maybe Henry needs some viagra

HENRY COME ON

[BethDufreneOnTheBayouByYou]

So do we think what she posted was just the demo? She’s had a year to mess with it. Some lush strings and whatever instruments that give a lil country twang could be a nice addition to what we have heard so far

I wrote this a couple of pages back:

 

Spoiler

No because you know what really gets to me? The first time you listen to this song and you hear "I heard God say you were born to be the one" right before a slight pause.

 

And the pause is absolutely everything. Because it tricks you for a moment into thinking this is a romantic revelation, like "I was born to be the one for him", the ultimate soulmate narrative, right? And then boom, that next line shatters the illusion: “to hold the hand of the man who flies too close to the sun”

 

Suddenly it’s not about being chosen for love, it’s about being chosen for sorrow. She isn’t the prize, she’s the witness. The supporter. The collateral beauty to someone else’s destruction. And the fact that this is coming from God, not her heart, nor from him, makes it inescapable. It's like she's been cosmically assigned this role of loving the doomed. She's not just unlucky in love, she was born to be it. That’s what makes it so devastating.

 

Perhaps, it’s not even about the romance, it’s about the resignation. The mythology of being the woman who stays, even when she knows he'll leave and it’ll break her. 

 

And I guess that's why the right person will stay...

 

Might write a bit more later on the song as whole

Updated the lyrics! Can't wait to read all of your analyses  

[DrippingPeaches]

i LOVE the lyric "call us into void's dreams" something about it is so evocative 

[helloheaven]

Theories about who the name Henry is inspired by? I was thinking about characters from poetry/film she could have been inspired by… then i thought of henry VIII… just why henry im so curious

can't wait for this bop

i just knew she'd be iconic oop

[American Whore]

Apple Music gives the lyric "Call us into forest dreams". I definitely don't hear 'void's dreams'
