Swim Deep 0 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 This tumblr seems to have it and is leaking little snippets + descriptions of the song: http://lanashadesofcool.tumblr.com/ 'My baby lives in shades of blue Blue eyes and jazz and attitude He lives in California too He drives a Chevy Malibu' 'Shades Of Cool starts off with lonely sounding guitars that builds up an eerie and intense atmosphere. Lana’s voice breaks through the mist with a fragile “My baby lives in… shades of blue.†The song is written with a 6/8 time signature so just like Million Dollar Man there’s jazz/waltz influences, however much slower and stripped back with only guitars and her one layer of vocals during the verses. The song slowly builds up during the pre-chorus. The guitar picking is then replaced with slow shimmering chords as Lana sings “he lives for love, he loves his d--gs.†The pre-chorus flows slowly until she ends the section with “his strange weather….†and then a moment of silence. The song breaks into a beautiful flowery 70s-inspired indie rock merry-go-round-esque chorus. The drums come in and the iconic Born To Die strings make a triumphant return. It’s hard not to imagine Lana spinning Stevie Nicks-style in a flower garden or on the beach when listening to this chorus. Piano notes twinkle in the background layers as Lana sings over the live instruments: “but you are invincible. I can’t break through your world.†The music carries on into the second verse and pre-chorus. The electric guitars are even more present in the second chorus. The old school ‘wub wub wub’ of the guitar strings embellish the already beautiful vintage sounding chorus. The song intensifies even further during the bridge. The song turns into a thunderous mass of electric guitar and loud drums. The chaotic bridge is wild enough to transport anyone back to the live rock concerts of the 70s. The fantastic guitar solo is s-xy enough to have Lana grinding during her performance. The music dies down at the end as Lana songs ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ as it fades into silence, presumably the solemn conclusion to the calm, wild, calm narrative of the song. This song is a great choice as a promotional single and is arguably many times better than West Coast. This track is what you would expect Cruel World to sound like. There are many more surprises waiting on the album, we will just have to wait until June to experience all of them.' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropico 4,145 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 LANA GIRL NO! I mean first the UV cover and WC cover and now this one which looks like it was taken with an iPhone? Noooo gurl And I hope it doesn't sound as stripped down as WC did I love Lana's theatrical/orchestra sound which just sounds so grand and now we get simple guitar stroke production But I'm excited because I'm clinging on to the hope we get more btd sound :excited2: ♢ Social Justice Enthusiast ♢ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
