    this is a great question!!
     
    i might just dive right in the deep end and ask who exactly the title track is about, or i might ask exactly what the iPad line from hope is about

    I randomly played an NFR playlist that's on Youtube with the Urban Outfitters alternative cover, and came to the conclusion that that cover is the one that truly fits better with the album's soundscape. Stripped back, down to earth, sometimes sketchy, yet beautiful, warm,  full of light and meaning. An adequate cover for a classical piano-rock album. Reinforces the thought that Lana is going through an absolutely new stage on her musical journey, and that all of us should better get used to it, just to not expect her anymore to adjust to the aesthetical canon she used to fit in along her earlier artistic projects.

    Many songs on NFR, to me, has some of her best storytelling. The 3-part story on HTD, MAC’s plea to be heard and understood (while beautifully quoting Leonard Cohen), the metaphors in the verses of TNBAR, the euphemisms of the outro of the Greatest, the Laurel Canyon Story told by the title track, HIaB and Bartender: these are all superb stories she brought on this record. She always had amazing lyrics on all of her projects, but to me, NFR has some of her best stories for an album.

    Friendly reminder that this album is stunning, and those who think otherwise are missing the point.

    Bored and added a few others tonight, per Clampigirl's old request to add some from her 2019 interviews & Neptune's request for a new creepna emoji (also I've been subtly adding a few here & there every now and then, so props if you spotted them):
     
     - "creepna3"
     - "gasp"
     - "eek3"
     - "ahh"
    - "oic3"
    - "oopna2"
     - "coffee"
     
     
    If you have any suggestions, please leave them here!

    preface: i don't think i've ever heretofore used that word on here, and if i have it was definitely not in a derogatory way.  also, this post is NFR related due to the way Lana's churchgoing has highlighted homophobia from a gay music icon.
     
    point: "Faggot" is literally the only word in the English language that means "gay man."  Tho most indigenous societies held esteemed roles and a variety of terms for various sexes / sexualities / genders / etc, queerness is now seen as something degrading and insulting - something to be ashamed of. Terminology to describe queerness has systematically been attacked and erased throughout the spread of patriarchy across the world.  And the very few remaining terms are deemed slurs.  "Fag" means "gay man."  I am that.  The word describes me accurately.  If anyone is allowed to use that term, I believe I should be.  The only reason it would be seen as bad is if people think being what the word describes is something to be insulted by.  It is not.  There is nothing wrong with being queer or gay or trans or whatever.  We need more language to describe these things, not less.  Queerness should not be erased or censored.  We should not be forced to hide, to be ignored, to pretend we are not the reality of what we are.
     
    In Lana's song "Love Song" , she sings "is it safe, is it safe, to just be who we are?" .. I must ask, who can feel this sentiment more than queer individuals?  LGBTQIA+ people are routinely killed around the world just for "who we are."  Literally murdered.  Also violently attacked, legally discriminated against, prevented from securing adequate employment and housing, kept in poverty at disproportionately higher rates than straight people.  This issue is not some offhand comment that can be thrown out and dismissed without a true look at what's really going on.  Particularly on Lanaboards when Lana attends a church that supports conversion therapy, her friends of choice post photos at Hotels owned by world leaders who quite literally legally sanction the murder of gay people, when her fanbase has a huge amount of queer people, and a huge amount of specifically gay men who relate to her music and artistic concepts.  If users here acknowledging the existence of gay men is more offensive than these other things going on in the world that are routinely swept out of sight, like wtf.  if mods censoring users / signing off on personal attacks on users here is just par for the course, like wtf.
     
    My question is this:  can i just get fucking banned already?  thank you.
