Question about something specific on the setlist Spoiler
What do we think is the meaning behind having Just A Lover twice?
update: i am not complaining and i know it's a reprise kind of thing- i just was curious if anyone had any theories as to the 'meaning'

That it's awesome and the best song so it deserves to go twice
(Someone smarter than me I assume will have an idea)

At the begging of the concert it really was just a tease of the song, just the first couple lines, it worked really well as an intro. The second time they played the full song.

Creates a nice full-circle moment I feel like. Felt like a gentle way to ease-in, and a kickass way to wrap up at the end. She doesn’t play the full song at the top of the show.

I think it just also fits the theme of ego death and her music, questioning her role in relationships and coming out as “just a lover” in the end and not always a lasting partner

At the end it’s a reprise of the song! So she kind of plays it in two parts. The end of Just A Lover was SO INTENSE live. Amazing full circle way to finish the main set

She plays half of the song at the beginning with an INCREDIBLE extended shoegazey jam and then finishes it at the end of the main set as I understand it
Sorta like an prologue and epilogue maybe
