Prince Tommy Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Am I the only person sad we'll probably never get Behind the Iron Gates based on that interview and who actually liked Violet... ? OT: Let the light in still hasn't grown on me, I kind of hate the melody but IDM FJM's voice with hers at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottageHore Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Are there any bigger instrumental breaks on this album (excluding the dreaded two interlewds). Like is there space for the songs to breathe, maybe a guitar solo or just a break from singing with just instruments and vocalization? I love and need more proper outros and intros from Lana (aka Venice *****, MAC, and Shades) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The random deference to Taylor Swift as arbiter of "the future of music" Any reviewer calling music like this "Tuneless" discredits themselves.

CottageHore Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I can’t with the switch up when Fingertips leaked, everyone who listened to the leak was lauding it, calling it a career highlight and now everybody is saying it’s a clunker and impossible to get through, even Lana herself This just tells me that once everybody hears every other song on the album, they realized every other song is EVEN better. Downsides of being this consistent, I fear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsides of being this consistent, I fear! Fingertips is very beautiful and moving and one of her best songs in my opinion, but if you prefer something with structure - verse, pre, chorus, bridge, etc. then it would be a turn off. I could also see it being criticized as being kind of self-indulgent but tbh some of the best music is like that to me so... It's like a line of her poetry meets a voice note with beautiful accompaniment. It really makes you listen to the words the way its arranged too, so if you're not the type to listen really attentively it might come across like a bunch of words with little motion.

helpthomas Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) you guys are reading into her words way too much. she probably said ”good” song in the sense of it not being a song of structure, or a song with any melodic drive or hook. not that it’s a bad song. she’d never intentionally put out a bad song, especially not on a record like this which seems to be VERY personal to her. the part before she said it’s not a good song she also said Fingertips is probably her least favourite song to be asked to talk about, which obviously means she finds it too personal to explain and that the meaning of the song and its purpose is just that; it says what it says and there’s nothing more to it. it’s not a banger. it’s just a song she wrote Edited March 21, 2023 by helpthomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kh-Loud Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) My top 3 would be 1. A&W 2. SWEET Everything from the second verse onward is literal the best thing she has ever done TO ME. it reminds me of my one and only real love, my college roommate, my bestfriend, my **** buddy, the person who i always go for emotional support, the ying to my yang (do you want children, do you want to marry me, do you want to run maraton on long beach by the sea i got things to do, like nothing else i want to do them with you do you want to do them with me ) 3. The Grant/Let the lite in/Kungtufi (whatever that japanese word is ) Edited March 21, 2023 by Kh-Loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
