Big Bad Wolf Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 She said it’s a wordy album and a wordy album is what we got. Kintsugi and Fingertips are pretty long, but if you have the patience to listen all the way through the pay off is there in the lyrical content. She’s brilliant.

EdgeofTeeth Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Fishtail haters are not seeing heaven I fear, the unexpected beat drop combined with the computerized vocals is one of the album's most breathtaking moments I said what I said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniceBeach Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 When I started writing it was very esoteric, but the people I was writing with were really straight edge so it became more poppy. Then when I met Justin Parker I got to sink back into thinking about each day and the minutia [she says this slowly to a back-and-forth rhythm] swinging in the backyard / pull up in your fast car / whistling my name. Stuff that wasn’t esoteric but it was certainly more a ‘day in the life’ motif. And then now where I’m at, it’s just all the thoughts I’ve ever had in my head from the beginning that I can remember until now, like in a song called ‘Fingertips’. That would be my song that would be my least favourite song I’d ever want to talk about… Where I’m at now, if I’m lucky enough to get the impulse where a song comes at all, it might be once a year, in its entirety, I’ll just sing it into my voice-notes and I’ll send it to Drew Erickson who’s an absolute living legend in Echo Park. He does the orchestration for Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, Jonathan Wilson, a couple of other people and he sent me back my own voice-note with all of my pauses and breaths taken out. Every now and then when that happens, you’ll think to yourself, ‘I got it.’ I got it! ‘Fingertips’ is not a good song or a big song but it definitely explains everything. I felt like that was important because everyone was always like [whispers] explain yourself. And I was like, ‘Okay, let me do this really quickly, I’ll tell you everything I’m thinking in two minutes in a seven minute song and just rip through it and edit it.’ That song kind of says it all. Between that song and ‘Wildflower Wildfire’ on Blue Banisters, you can get a lot [whispers and laughs] of everything. https://hannahewens.substack.com/p/lana-del-rey-interview-2023-to-have-met-myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kh-Loud Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) Well FingerTiips is kinda the worst song on the album along with those two Interludes; it has absolutely zero replay value. She knew putting that song on the album would get the album panned, but she didn't care Edited March 21, 2023 by Kh-Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
