Lana Del Rey - Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd (24 March 2023) (1 Viewer)

I think the mystique about her personal life is an absolute plus in today’s grotty world of every detail being gynaecologically paraded. I bet she sits at home playing Snap every day (the card game rather than Rhythm Is A Dancer exclamation mark Snap!), wears a beige fleece and goes to bed by ten :disco:
 
Olivia Rodrigo:

"I'm invisible, look how you hold me
I'm invisible, I'm invisible
I'm a ghost now, look how you hold me now" :(
 
Morning my little Blvdians. I would like please a definitive list of references of songs on the album to other songs on the album, and to other songs in her ouevre.

I'll start

1. "When you know you know" repeated repeatedly in Paris, Texas and in Margaret

2. Venice Bitch literally being in Taco Truck v VB

3. the melody of part of Peppers directly references Happiness is a Butterfly
4. on Let the Light In she references putting the Beatles on, which echoes Tomorrow Never Came (also a duet) where she references "our favourite song, Lennon and Yoko"
 
5. In Fishtail: "You're so funny, I wish I could skinny-dip inside your mind"

"Don't you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe"


In Peppers: "Take a minute to yourself, skinny-dip in my mind."

"Lemme put my hands on your knees, you can braid my hair"
 
it's pleasing to see she's not gone for some trash cop or private security guy this time. that's growth!
 
Don’t like this album much

in other news, Let the Light In, Tomorrow Never Came and Dance Till We Die make a lovely trilogy of breezy, vaguely '60s-ish guitar midtempos. Let the Light In has to be easily her most structured (verse-chorus-bridge) song since NFR! I can see it doing quite well over time.
 
Can't remember the song but she says "Lately I've been thinking" in exactly the same way as she does in Change.

Also Cinnamon Girl VIBES throughout Margaret (I think)
 
Considering the streaming figures, the streaming "sales" look small!
Can't stream an album while you're playing your way through 8 different coloured vinyl editions to see if any of them don't sound like they've been skimmed over a cheesegrater...
 
Judah Smith Interlude intro has had me fainting more than once in preparation for a devastatingly sad emotional Lana track, only for the ramble to start and me to realise OH it's THAT track :bruised:

She also teased lyrics to the first song she recorded for the upcoming album: "The songs are very conversational. For the first song, I pressed record and sang, “When I look back, tracing fingertips over plastic bags, I think I wish I could extrapolate some small intention or maybe get your attention for a minute or two.”

Going back to the first post, interesting that Fingertips was the first song recorded.
 
I’ve only listened once but I don’t like all the spoken word crap. Why is there a man giving a 5 minute sermon plonked in the middle of the album? Is that her giggling over it?
 
Am I still the only one that loves "Kintsugi"? She really sounds like Stevie near the end, and the lyrics are some of the best on the album.

It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
But I've had to let it break a little more

Cause they say that's what it's for

That's how the light gets in
Then you're golden
OHH OOOOOOOOOHHH OOOOOHHHHH :cry:

New leaks:

"Earthquakes" (Ultraviolence era)


"Lake Placid" (Ultraviolence era)


"Pink Champagne" ("Let Me Love You Like a Woman" demo)


"Madly" (also sounds like an early version of LMLYLAW melodically)
