the whole album was already too good, had to let it live

I need them to release a definitive version of IASF (for streaming, at least) with all songs from that era. That album had so many versions, but none with all songs. I need Honesty on streaming.

I tried to break down the making of American Requiem because I think this is one of the clearest examples of her method of creating songs by combining various elements such as lyrics from demos, instrumentals, samples, etc. We can see that just by listening to the song.

In American Requiem, I believe the lyrics come from 4 different pieces made by different people, including herself.

There's also a interpolation of this song in the lyrics and the instrumental:

And a brief sample of this moment @ 3:41

Back to the lyrics, I think these are the four parts:

1. The intro and outro I believe came from Camaron Ochs and Tyler Johnson, who are Nashville songwriters. Especially because this part is reprised on Amen and they are also credited there.

2. We know the "it's a lot talk going on..." part was written by Jon Batiste. I wonder if the "For What It's Worth" interpolation already existed here in the instrumental made by No ID and the lyrics made by Jon Batiste, or if it was added later during the making of the album.

3. The "can we stand for something..." portion, I thought it was originally part of this verse written by Jon Batiste. But now I think it's from a different origin. I just don't know who wrote it? Maybe Atia Boggs, Dixson or Beyoncé herself? But yeah, I think it's a different portion from the "look there" lyrics and that she mixed both together.

4. And finally, the "grandbaby of a moonshine man" verse came from Beyoncé. Probably made during the recording of the song in the studio.

So basically, something like this:

Halloween songs 🎃

• Haunted
• Daughter
• 6 Inch
• All Up In Your Mind
• Sweet Dreams

Haunted is gonna blow up even more this Halloween season thanks to TikTok, it’s always been a standout track not only on the album but from her whole catalog.

oop

one of her best ballads really

it's so over for bey music after act iii jk

#nvr2mch

Who tf?

How I sleep at night knowing that Beyoncé is the last R&B star of this caliber and the music lineage that started decades ago ends with her and that the younger generation can't sing and only makes "vibes music"

Yall don't deserve her so bye bye

now hold on, there's still some vocalists out here... two of them are signed to her, actually

If I speak...

Act III here we go

I wonder what's the overall "theme" of act iii

Renaissance was like a party mixing various styles of dance music

Cowboy Carter was like a road trip through the US south with various genres that originated from this region
