  1. Hm seemingly the album title "Norman Fucking Rockwell" had been approved by the label a while ago considering it was mentioned in a press release from Universal for Hope http://www.umusic.ca/press-releases/84263/

    And I'm pretty sure any problems with marketing a physical release could be solved quite easily by censoring the title.

    I personally think that the delays around this album stem from Lana herself


  2. can someone DM me a link

  3. y'all need to realise Lana literally does not give a fuck anymore. Like she doesn't care if she loses fans because she knows that lanky twink and his possy of rats will still be front row of every show she ever does for the rest of her fucking life. She doesn't care about promo or a proper album rollout because she doesn't care if the album succeeds or not. She's been there, done that, got the t shirt and hated the experience. She'll be financially stable for the rest of her life and just has the freedom to do absolutely nothing. It's clear that music isn't her passion anymore and all she wants to do now is write poetry and suffer a mid life crisis. Maybe it would be better for her to publicly retire instead of half-assing everything she does now- at least then the legacy and artistic image she spent years crafting wouldn't be completely tarnished. 


  4. Fine China is such a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics about a failed engagement to be wed.

    This is how I interpret the lyrics of the song and how I believe it related to Lana’s life at the time of its’ recording.

     

    I think the most revealing part of the whole song are the opening lines:

     

    “I wore diamonds for the birth of your baby, for the birth of your son

    On the same day my husband to be packed his things to run.”

     

    I believe the first line is a reference to Lana being present for the birth of Jaime King’s son James on the 6th of October 2013. Here you can see a picture of Lana with Jaime and her new-born baby in the hospital, wearing a diamond necklace https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/lanadelrey/images/5/57/Newmanbaby.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150716232607

    Jaime has said publicly that Lana stayed with her during her entire labour which was over 26 hours long!

    Additionally, I believe the second line is about Lana’s engagement to her former fiancé Barrie James O’Neill. The two were rumoured to get engaged on July 21st 2013 after Barrie proposed on Lana’s birthday. You can read a Daily Mail article discussing the engagement rumours here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2549794/Lana-Del-Rey-boyfriend-Barrie-James-ONeill-secretly-engaged-June.html

     

    From the lyrics of the song we can assume that while Lana was with Jaime at the hospital, Barrie packed up his things and left Lana (I think this means he packed his stuff up and moved out of the house he was sharing with Lana at the time after a fight). Lana and Barrie were not seen publicly together again until a month later on November 1st 2013 at a Nylon magazine event. So, it seems any fight they had was resolved by this point.

    Fine China was recorded in December 2013 with Rick Nowels in the same sessions as Your Girl, Yes to Heaven, Is this happiness, Sad Girl, Shades of Cool and I Can Fly.

    Considering how Lana has stated multiple times that her lyrics are deeply autobiographical, it is my interpretation that Lana was writing from the viewpoint of the experience she had in October of that year, when she thought her engagement to Barrie was over and the dreams she had of her wedding were crushed.
