Elle Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 @@BENTLEY You drive up in a summer sky, blue bentley Death reflect-tec-tecting in his eyes Thought about all the women who loved me I said, "oh no!" He said, "get inside" I said, "oh no!" He said, "get inside" I got into his summer sky, blue bentley Sun reflect-tec-tecting in my eyes Thought about all the fun I had lately I said, "Uh huh" I said "I want to drive" I said, "Uh huh I want, I want to drive" We drive, We drive You say you wanna go swimming in my ring It's green and shimmering Like my lipstick, the colour of dawn Like my lipstick, the colour of dawn We got out of his summer sky, blue bentley Death reflect-tec-tecting in the sky Held my hand to the ocean he lead me I said, "uh huh, I want, I want to die" "Uh huh, I want, I want to die." WOW! I absolutely adore this. I can't stop replaying it - it has that jazz sound of hers I love. I also always adore her layered harmonies. So haunting and beautiful. 8 Quote • 4.18.14 • 5.1.14 • 9.20.14 • 5.28.15 • 6.14.15 • 7.28.16 • 7.24.17 • 10.23.17 • 10.24.17 • 1.25.18 • 2.5.18 • 12.5.18 • 10.3.19 • 10.11.19 • 11.16.19 • 8.6.23 • 9.21.23 • 10.1.23 • 5.17.24 • 5.19.24 • 6.30.25 • SF • ATL • ATL • IND • ATL • CHI • LDN • NYC • NYC • DC • ATL • NYC • PDX • SAN • KS • CHI • AL • MD • AL • AL • DUB

evilentity Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I thought it was reflec-tecting in my eyes like a stutterIt's not so much a stutter as her saying the same thing intentionally out of synch in two different vocal harmonies. Also, I love how the second time she says "Sun reflecting in his eyes" in one harmony and "Death reflecting in his eyes" in the other. dont let The Guardian hear about this Anyone still want to try to tell me she's not fixated on death? OUT WITH A BANGYes, "Bentley" is yet another example of a specific type of death that is prevalent enough in her work to be discussed as a recurring theme separate from the theme of death generally-- death by drowning, or at least the association of death and water. 3 Quote Stalking you has sorta become like my occupation.
InTheSummer Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 the second half of this song is so beautiful, and the way she ends it is really nice, lyrically. I like this one a lot, wow! 1 Quote

longtimeman Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Before it leaked, were there rumours that this was the type of song we should expect, or was everyone as stunned as I was? 1 Quote
