Blade of Grass but only the bridge 

There's a bridge? Hmm never made it that far

Why not just put it against an actual song?

“… often the most reasonable person in the room,” printing and framing this performance review.

Ah, to be fair, this one wasn’t in blind disdain or empty antagonism or anything … it’s kind of weird probably, but, melodrama aside, and I don’t know why, but listening to Blade of Grass, there’s a deep visceral pang or melancholy … I know music evokes emotion, and the composition or design of chords, progressions, cadences, frequencies, etc. directly influences how we feel (physically and emotionally), but, yeah, at an intrinsic/endemic level, Blade of Grass feels like post-glamorous cruelty maybe (in context of the album … somewhere in the vein of how she described the album as a night out and each song being a gothic dream in the overall sequence … it’s the abyss beneath the kaleidoscopic chaos) … kind of like the intro to the G.U.Y. music video when she’s in that field during the ARTPOP intro, the desolation, and, yeah … or Dope but even more descended … the instrumental evoked some sense of Air’s work with The Virgin Suicides soundtrack … or like Requiem for a Dream, it feels like its meant to be learned from, not necessarily lived in—Requiem is a riveting film, but I don’t want that rivet on steady rotation (if that makes any sense) … so, when I thought about it in context of silence, it’s sort of aligned in its own way, because I was like … wow, that’s kind of it, after listening to Blade of Grass, silence is literally so soothing … if nothing else, in direct context of the song itself, I’m like … silence feels like the dawn after this Stygian dirge … or as a listener, in the audience of the song, it’s wanting her or this character to not have to be in that space anymore, like the song as a chapter conveyed exactly what it needed to, and so let’s move toward resolution … but, all of this is to say … thus is why “often” is not “always” the most reasonable in the room of record reflections … and I’ve only listened to it twice so, there’s that footnote

Also … I just vibed with the Five Foot Two frame, and it made me chuckle, a lil’ levity in synonymous context … but, I hadn’t actually delved into why it vibed in context of the comparison until you called me out so, obrigado 

I love your trains of thoughts   btw do you have a letterboxd?

Why the disdain for BOG lol 

[Hydrangea 6,756]

Wrap that gapin ass around my finger like a cast

 

but for real, nothing sweeps  

[LateToCult 41,320]

How you up against nothing and only have a little over half the vote. 

[HermesG 1,708]

In terms of "dark" n "goth" is the gothiest track of the album tho..

 

[TheSine 6,444]

Blade of Grass isn't farting out synths, and it lowkey sounds like an Imagine Dragons/Coldplay song so that's probably why people don't like it.
