On the one hand, I see where people are coming from when they say the production seems lackluster and that her new songs are missing something that's really captivating. On the other hand, though, for me Lana's music has always been about lyrics and the mood she's creating with her tunes, and TLY, HBTB and HM are just what I needed this year.
I don't know HOW she does it, but it's like she's secretely watching me and studying my life just to put out a matching soundtrack every year. It's crazy. There are so many of my personal experiences attached to her songs that I re-experience everything as soon as I start playing her music, and it always feels like she's only there to put everything to paper that I'm incapable of expressing myself.
I've always been a Bowie stan because my mom has been, too, so basically I was listening to his music my whole childhood. Earlier this year, my mom had a coronary, and we didn't know if she would make it (she's fine now, though). So when Lana put out TLY, with all its Bowie references (and I truly believe this song's about his step-brother, Terry Burns), I was absolutely devastated. Especially the line "I lost myself when I lost you" and the instrumentalization had me in tears because they are reflecting exactly how I felt back then when I thought my mom was going to die. David Bowie and his music has always influenced the way in which me and my mom were interrelating with each other, so the coincidence of Lana releasing this song has left me speechless.
Long story short, I'm sorry for everyone who's not feeling her new stuff, but for me she created just another soundtrack to my life.
(Sorry for spamming this thread with this long ass story.)
I completely agree! A user had the nerve to criticise my speakers. The bass should be more intense. The beats are so distant and obscure. It needs Dark Horse type beats
You can leave this thread right now with that song .
When do target preorders usually go up? I thought we would have it by now.
Also from what we've heard, I really don't think Backfire fits in with Honeymoon, unless they really changed it and gave it some trap beats or something in which case I'd be super excited
