Kintsugi is one of the best songs on the album and could easily be a minute longer :giraffe:

I would literally have an aneurism If another chorus or random verse was added.

Agree. Also her vocals on Grandfather also sounds ethereal and Disney princessy.

I always thought that scene of Shades of Cool was filmed on a green screen

 

Lachlan

Pretty sure they actually shot it there but they definitely upped the vibrancy so it looks ethereal.

 

Also, she has 2 albums in Australia's Top 50 albums this week, BTD just rocketed back up to #50. Anyone know when was the last time or if it was recent?

And my silly ass thought we were getting an "era" like 2019 with the MV and all the festivals being announced

At this point, I wish she’d just give up on video visuals altogether. As long as she serves for the cover art like she did for the variants of DYK, I’m fine with no videos. :ducky:

Why did BTD rise more than usual last week?

 

Edit: Oh apparently it got a boost from RSD :lakitu:

To be honest: I see the gripes with Blue Banisters. Personally, I don't care that she did nothing new to the unreleased songs (aside from Thunder that is) and I think as far as unreleased songs go, they were really good inclusions to an album. Living Legend, Cherry Blossom and Living Legend are a trio of god-tier Lana songs imo. They're all so moving, beautiful and filled with emotion, warmth and regret. They're perfect.

 

I just think the album is lacking something. I don't know what that is. People will say it's not cohesive, but I think it is cohesive. Just looking at the tracklist and thinking about each song, thematically it all makes sense to me. I don't see anything out of place or off balance.

 

I'd also like to say, Black Bathing Suit is really such a beautiful song. Those verses....I can really cry. They sound so heavenly, so delicate, so sure, so pure, they sound like pure bliss. The second verse gets me so emotional especially, because it's so raw and vulnerable.

 

 

Swisher Sweet, magazines, promise you it's not
'Cause of you that I'm mean, it's my afterthoughts
And what I never said, why there's a price on my head
It's nothing to do with them, it's my karmic lineage
So I'm not friends with my mother, but I still love my dad
Untraditional lover, can you handle that?

 

Like? How could she. It makes me so emotional because of her brave and courageous she is. I can tell it's a sensitive topic for her. For any artist to be this transparent, is so beautiful to me. She has such strength and power in her vulnerability and it continues to amaze me. 

 

What can absolutely not to be taken away from Blue Banisters, despite whatever shortcomings, is that it definitely tells a story. It tells Lana's story up until that point, and I get it and I hear it loud and clear. Blue Banisters may feel underwhelming, but it's firmly in place, powerfully so. It's rooted and it's not moving. I really think what she set out to do with this record paid off. It tugs on your heartstrings, and begs you to empathize with each chilling vocal.

 

Blue Banisters is a glass of whiskey, next to the fireplace somewhere in the country, thinking and longing of someone, but still being grateful for where you are in that moment, while holding the memories tight in your mind, and wishing of what could be.

 

I say all that to say, never doubt Lana, her vision. She has such a powerful mind. Always welcome what it wants to give to you. :clap3:
