“Terrence Loves You”

“Terrence Loves You” is one of the more peculiar songs on Lana’s fourth album, Honeymoon. Far more melancholy than anything else on the album, this song was also chosen to represent Linda, but in a more loving tone.  The song itself focuses on loving someone so much that you forget about their imperfections, regardless if it is healthy or not to even do so. On the other hand, it shows that true love requires one to giving a helping hand if one half of the relationship begins to fall.  “Terrence Loves You” also plays with the difference between bravery and a lack of care for yourself. The following would play, line by line, during Biff’s conversation with Willy over his potential visit to Bill Oliver. “But you are who you are. I won’t change you for anything. For when you are crazy, I’ll let you be bad. I’ll never dare change thee, To what you are not.” on occasion throughout this conversation, the song will play during pauses as Linda watches through the door frame, and as Linda continues to pick up after her husband. When Linda eventually becomes more involved in the conversation towards the end, one final line will play as she exits; “But I lost myself when I lost you.” This song was one of the more interesting choices, as the instrumental is light enough to even be played throughout the entire conversation, with lyrics coming in eventually. I also would have song of the strings play as the conversation begins between father and son.
