The best closer of an album … and my favorite song of the record ! It’s so special knowing her dad rob is playing the piano in the background while chuck her sister is talking about having the baby blue .. and they wrote it in 20 minutes … legendary… the piano is hypnotic and her voice is gold
@@pookspeak9529 they spoke about it on lanas recent IG live you can find it on RU-vid and on the CD version of the song you can hear lanas dad (rob) say “okay” at the start of the performance
Lana is in a better place in her life, she finally found the real love, maybe not in a boyfriend but definitely in her family, her friends, her people. I’m so happy for her, she deserves all the goodness in her life. ❤️❤️❤️
"Sweet Carolina" (Okay) Don't have to write me a letter 'Cause I'll always be right here Closer to you than your next breath, my dear We love every hair on your head Love you like God loves you And you say that you're scared Might be unprepared for havin' the baby blues Baby blues, baby blues If things ever go wrong Just know this is your song and we love you You name your babe Lilac Heaven After your iPhone 11 "Crypto forever" screams your stupid boyfriend Fuck you, Kevin We love every freckle you have We love you like God loves you If you're ever stressed out, just dance in the night If you get those baby blues Baby blues, baby blues If things ever go wrong Just know this is your song and we love you Pink slippers all on the floor and woven nets over the door It's as close as we'll get to the dream that they had In the one night sixties, and Jason is out in the lawn And he powerwashes every time things go wrong If you're stressed out, just know you can dance to your song 'Cause we got you If you get the blues, baby blues Just know this is your song It'll live on and on, way past me and you If you get the blues, baby blues You've got us, we've got you So there's nothing to lose, and we love you So don't write me a letter I'll always be right here Closer to you than your next breath, my dear
And the best part about that is chuck has mentioned how pawn shop blues is her favorite song of Lana’s. That little fact alone adds another sweet and touching layer to this beautiful melodic piece.
This is probably one of the most beautiful and special songs she has ever made. For her, her sister, her whole family. For me as well... I loved it and I couldn't stop crying while listening to this sweet masterpiece. I feel so thankful she shared it with us 💟
I just gave birth to my first child and motherhood is not being easy, so everytime I get the baby blues or my daughter cries i play this song on repeat. Thanks for this masterpiece, Lana ♡
Even though i can’t stand TikTok i’m super glad it went viral because this beautiful song deserves all the praise in the world, it came out right before my dog passed away and it helped me deal with the grieve
Imagine the family of your pregnant wife writing such a lovely song for her and then, right at the middle of it, they call you a stupid boyfriend ans there's a "Fuck you"? I'd feel honored, like Kevin should and probably is
I dedicate this song to my baby brother. The lyrics are so sweet and something I wish I could say to my brother. Hopefully he can hear this wherever he is. 💙
I need to say this, even if no one reads it. I was very normal listening the album until Sweet Carolina came. It was really shocking, I think it's so nice and so lovely, I really like the kind of love she shows to her sister Chuck (Caroline). I literally cried listening to this because of the caring vibes this song gave me.
my favourite song from this album, so purely beautiful. how beautifully she speaks of the love she has for her sister, makes me tear up every listen and i can't stop listening. you're a true artist lana, straight from the heart, i can tell that's where your art comes from, it's real ♡
This song is for the youngest siblings. All of the family is always ready to protect and support them. Everyone loves them like God loves. Love you my little brother. I witnessed you grow older and this means so much to me.

The first time I heard this song I was sharing earphones with my brother on a plane flying away from home. The sun was setting over the clouds through the windows across the aisle casting a red glow on our faces, but my heart was blue after I had to say a forever goodbye to the dog who had been my companion for the last sixteen years. This song was a soundtrack to that moment and will always hold a sweet spot in my heart, bringing me some peace when those who used to be closest to me can't.
Could this possibly be about postpartum depression? Lana said on insta that she was tracing mental health through her family and it was shocking what she was finding. She said something about how when the women she knew bottled up their anger it caused grief. Is it possible that the women in her family struggle with postpartum depression and she’s accepted that her sister might too?
Such a beautiful song. There is so much love in it, that I just can’t help but cry even though I’ve listened so many times over. It also gives me very motherly vibes, and I guess I can imagine singing something like this to my future baby if I’m lucky enough.
