Henry, Come On vs Bluebird [Poll]

Make your selection and explain how you arrived at your answer. Show all working.

And you can't choose both; if you like both equally then pick the one you would pick if Lana told you you could only keep one and had to throw the other one in the bin

My recency bias makes me say Blue Bird, but in 3 months time, that may change

[Honeymoonwitch]

Bluebird feels like a two minute interlude. Something short and sweet. While Henry feels like a full thought with a hook and good production.

Bluebird is a song I would only listen to if it came up in my playlist, and Henry I would put on just for that song

[Enco]

Team Henry. It just sounds so anthem like and pretty. Bluebird is not something I would listen to. 

[love deluxe]

Bluebird but only because I think lyrically it may be stronger. (This could totally just be my recency bias). Also, the harmonica and guitar are just gorgeous.

[domandapiano]

It’s gotta be Bluebird, at least right now. It made me cry. 

[Sunbather Moonchaser]

I'm on Bluebird's side. I can already feel that I will be crying to it a lot. I'm not even overexaggerating when I say that after a few more listens it'll probably end up in my top 5 amongt Black bathing suit, God knows I tried, Bel Air and Yosemite

but which one goes in the bin if she tells you you can only keep one, dear Azure Water Vapour?

I definitely need to quit my job asap so I'll make more use of Bluebird than Henry in the future.
I really like them both honestly, but Bluebird has a little something so comforting.

[Liz Taylor Blues]

I balled my eyes out to Bluebird……its just so beautiful and hraling

[Embach]

Don't kill me but I think that Henry Come On is lyrically better than Bluebird. Both are lyrically good (and sad!) but I think that Henry is better written.

[honeyslow]

Bluebird hands down. It just keeps getting better with every listen, the clarity of her voice, the melody, the EMOTION... just shoot for the sun till I can finally run find a way to flyyy

I agree with you, lyrically Bluebird seems way more simple, not sure it really is, but Henry is so poetic it's crazy

[Poor Stacy]

Genuinely love both, but Bluebird hit me even harder than Henry and I was not expecting that.

oh no, please don't let me make such a choice

I picked bluebird, I think the strings sound better than in Henry, and it feels slightly less country to me. I’ve never really liked the genre that much, so hearing “cowgirl” is just… eeehhhh I don’t know. :B I’ve never pictured Lana as a cowgirl, she’s more urban to me.
I also like the meaning of the song. Freedom, a longing for an escape, leaving things in the past and start fresh again. There’s a pain in there I think is better written than in Henry, something you might have to read in between the lines to catch, maybe.

[cherrytropico]

Bluebird is cute but Henry Come On is a BOP  AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF YOU THAT I TURNED OUT SO DANGEROUS-

[Rorman Nockwell]

60 voters and it's almost even

I voted for Bluebird. Henry just doesn't do it for me - idk if it's because we got the snippet soooooo long ago that I was just over it by the time she gave it to us, but there you go

Bluebird has better production, better vocal clarity, better subject matter (imo)

I also like the cover better because she looks happier
