THIS IS the version of GIRLS that I know. I used to love it until I started taking it personally LOL. I also remember getting in a argument on ONTD like a decade ago when I said that this song was anti-girl.
the new lyrics for "best american record" ruin the song imo. i'll also never forgive jack for what he did to "how to disappear," if the album version sounded like the first performance of it it'd be in my top five lana songs.
same! she changed the meaing of the song by doing that. i mean, i know it's her song to change but i was still bummed when i heard it on nfr after listening to the demo for so many years. at least i still have the demo to listen to. i need someone in lana's circle to tell her that her demos are a lot better than she realizes. maybe that'd cut back on external influences and drastic changes.
i agree. i think in a lot of cases, i can make peace with the changes she makes, but that was one where i was like... we heard the song. we know what it meant at the time, let it be what it is.
