Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread
Make me your Dream Life replied to Elle's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
This might warrant a fucking halt on thinking for some, but does anyone actually kinda like this period? Of waiting for the record? Idk but for me, I kinda like how we're sorta just anticipating that music's gonna come, not even bitter. Lana's trolling the fuck out of us w a present of a poetry book, that ofc we never asked for, but that can easily b flipped to our favor as the coming months pass by. We'll have, hopefully (lol) interviews from magazines, radio or w/e. Single rollouts, rapid announcements, and then. Boom, he'll b here, we'll blackout for a good week/ month or two about it, then silence, while we start anticipating what's next. Performances? Music videos? Who tf knows? I think it's kinda strange how we've sorta gotten this time to let our imaginations run wild, til we get the actual record. That's like some fucking mental gymnastics there, but it's still something we're allowed to authentically do. Life goes on, and we've got things to do, accomplish and thrive thru, and idk for me, these dead periods, leave me (ofc) wanting more, and it really guides me a bit more to do shit. Like, inspiration bc of a dead zone? It's pretty restful when u think about it. I mean obviously, it's gonna dip back to tension and violent impatience thru one medium to another, needing HiaB and wanting to know what the cover'll be like, what new information we'll get and what to wonder about it from, how she'll take my money thru w/e valuable product I deem myself buying, but like damn. It's gonna fucking suck when we've got all answers to the questions we've had. I mean it'll b a matter of perspective, but still. Anyone fast forwarding too? TO fucking prevent myself from overlooping overthink, we've got. - a poetry book to read and view. - an album cover to love or despise. - a tracklist w the remaining songs we haven't even heard. - social media posts to usher in all that new info - Lana getting happy at what she's releasing thru however she chooses to express her emotional state during nfr's release - MAC having that beautiful, majestic, redeeming quality to it as a song, w the lowkey groovy hints to it. - VB sounding like a beautiful washed out disney end credit song in vibes, distant but still apparent from how Bel Air's piano sounds. - Hope, though muchhh depleted, helps facilitate all the muck within urself through an expression of tears, anger, laughter dk exactly. and I'm strangely at peace w that? lol tchyeah Stream Venice Bitch. -

Lust For Life - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll
Make me your Dream Life replied to Elle's topic in Post-Release Threads
I've been going thru such an emotionally turbulent time, n usually I do well w these things, but something got mucky and actually affected me pretty bad, and it all just accumulated after me trying harder to get over things, searching for some kind of zest of life, and breaking down a little. Never underestimate a true good cry, and never, ever give up. Ended up listening to Troye Sivan and the title track during the drive back, and it all felt ok again. .. cheers to the magic and the endorphins n neurotransimitters and the music that made things a lot smoother. This record is pretty thoughtful when u need it to be -

I like this idea gahaaaa sucks how it doesn't really mean anything tho :/ The more I think about it, sure I'm so open to the poetry book, and no animosity bc i mean, to hate an inanimate object? Is a bit much, but I hope we get them separately. We've waited all this time, might as well, her milk the promo. and, from an artist's standpoint, I'd appreciate and admire her more if she kept the two separate, even if they complimented each other, bc I'd like for the record and the book to stand on their own -

I think, no definitely that Hope and VB are two entirely differently composed songs. Former's got a more solid intent and delivery, a lot more solemn and direct, while VB is more abstract, and leaves a lot more for interpretation. Personally think both are beautiful, but repeating Hope over and over again can get incredibly taxing and fast, while VB at least imo is a lot easier to drown yourself in with its sound, not just bc of the diff track lengths, but bc of how loose and more scattered it is. Bc Hope is a lot more fixed as a song, there's less to dissect, whereas VB is more sporadic in song space, making it a lot easier to connect with, and thru various tunnels w/in its long 9-10 minute mark -

I honestly, whole heartedly doubt that. After all the mini betrayals we've gone through, it just doesn't make sense. She couldn't back down n go down that route bc a true baddie wouldn't do that. -

I think Cinnamon might be a hoe in training, receiving mentor-ship from Maha Maha but I'm not exactly sure. I do hope we get something legendary like Cola/Freak tho -

@@LanaFlowers Well I mean I didn't really say I was so, that point might be off. I did attend Hillsong one time bc my sister, dont u fucking persecute her she accepts me being gay, she's amazing, even past the sibling bias, wanted to go during the holidays. (I s2g no one messes with her, she probably doesn't even know about the extensive history of the place, no sarcasm DO NOT GO THERE.) The music was uplifting, and there was a younger generation attending, which was refreshing, from the past older peeps I used to go sing choir with when I was younger. Do I still go? Definitely not. But have I cultivated my own beliefs and my own faith on certain things? Yes. Point 2, hate to break it to ya, and u probably are already aware of this thru one stream of consciousness or another, but people don't like being forced into doing things, add into the equation too that it's not for others to decided on where others go to worship. Sure they might've been somehow born into the religion, like me, or might've found points they wanted to bring into their lives on their own, We're all different and our circumstances too reflect that in detail. How they go, where they go, why they go and to which boundaries are all theirs to figure out, and I hope they come out better for everyone. It's an idea, but it's not in your domain to decide for others. If directed towards me specifically? Definitely I'd find a place that included everyone, a few years ago that would've been amazing, but the truth is, no matter how others see it is, I no longer don't. Do I still believe there's a higher power governing us somehow? Yes, but it really just includes me and him, it's a personal set of values and beliefs that I've cultivated for myself. I'm still pretty young, early 20's, and I've had so much fucking done to me, aside from one thing but I digress. Because I was one thing, or the other, if there's anything I've learned in life, I've learned that being in the middle doesn't always get you any applause or admiration as easily from either side, gay, believing in god, which spectrum of ethnicity I'm in, how I might seem like a bitch, but that's just my resting face, masculine/feminine yada yada. You really just learn to live life your way, and no one else is going to live it but you, so stand alone and be firm in who you are. Being a little bit of everything however that may be, means that I've this weird opportunity to be able to look at things, or be reminded to look at how we all are, from these different sides, and accept them and try to find a common ground. We're all fucking people here, we all have shit we go through, no matter how veiled or how different the smell might even seem. We all love what/who we love, and dislike what we do. We all have needs, dreams, emotions, thoughts of our own, and we're all connected somehow, and what disappoints me so greatly, is when others decide to combat themselves instead of trying to understanding how we're the same first, minus all the differences through details, It tears me up from time to time when there's injustices because of that. How do I combat it? I try to be accepting towards everyone. Legit might sound so naive and all that, but I do my best to be kind first, bc most of the time, the hurt others are feeling aren't even about you as a person, it's just a reflection of the pain they're carrying, and no pity, but it makes me sad at how others might have to carry it alone, bc they feel they can't let it out to someone, bc of fear of being ridiculed. I've biases that I've recognized and am learning to recognize in myself still, I'm not perfect. But I'm building myself how I see fit, and if others want to shape me in one way or another because of a lack of understanding, well then they've already got the process wrong. I think for a lot of others too, tryna make sense of it all, at least for me, is all that we can do. So this post doesn't dry people of fucking boredom (I really am sorry skip the rant) that's another thing keeping me glued to my seat when it comes to this next album. Lana's perspective, and what she's writing about: her emotions, her experiences and how she dissects and relays them through sound and word. Is it disappointing that she's going to that particular church? For me, yes. Do we have any fucking right to box her in one way or another? No. Sad but true. If as an individual, myself at least, I've the liberty to be who I am, as I am, do I have the right to take that same liberty away from others? Sure it's a fucking mess, but it's so much wiser to let others be themselves. We can only guide them into hopefully being better versions of and for themselves and society as a whole, but it's up to them on whether or not they want to grow in that or any direction. -

For me, I like taking the moral lessons from it and try applying it practically as a kind of human decency check. To ur first question, I think the main thing might be pride. Like, to be so consumed in ur ego, that u forget everyone else, brings greed, and separation and all that shit. I found it real puzzling and interesting on how Lana sorta mimicked some of those themes in Paradise, bc imo, there's always gonna be ups and downs in life, and how u make ur life makes u, and that's what I attribute to the whole good vs evil thing, at least when it touches up on morality. There are people who aren't as strong as you, in mind, in heart, some people just wanna die sometimes, and if they find comfort in a higher power, let em. Do I support people who take it too far bc of impatience and lack of understanding before acting in imbalanced impulses? Nope. But if there's something to be taken out of anything, you owe it to yourself to be a better person to at least see things through and decide whether or not it fits to who you want to be in life -

Oh gooooood lemme tell ya something. Like I honestly dk her friend choice, and I'm not gonna go further into that bc to each their own, but coming from a Catholic to Christian family, singling myself out here and having been in different types of churches, Hillsong actually has a bit more patience and understanding when it comes to homosexuals, personal experience. Do they fucking scare me, these places? Fucking hell yes. But do I understand the renewal and inner strength they seem to foster when others need it? Apparently so.. It depends on how the person takes these things and makes the world a better, kinder place imo. I don't wanna shit on anyone else's religious beliefs, but I understand and KNOW the pain that comes from being pigeonholed into several categories, and like seeing both sides, and try to add the good into my personal life. Is it messy af? Hell yes. Can we learn from it? Hopefully we all can. Stream hope is a homo.mp3 -

I'm gonna b hopeful for a sec and assume she's hanging out w them bc she misses her old days when she just had fun hanging w her old friends doing who knows what, referenced from TIWMUG, as if it's any of our business tho and if that's especially true, then at least we have another kinda facet on how she's trying to retain her basic humanity in tact. -

Roses Bloom For You coulda had potential for the last record, or leaked round that time then, it woulda been perfect, but this time around, it feels outdated to even have as a bonus track imo (judging from the snippet, it again, sounds like a drunken (yet still beautiful) saloon track), along w the Coalition country song, that could've been an old western country show intro, which is ok, but might be too tangy for this record 1. Mariners Apartment Complex 2. Norman Fucking Rockwell 3. Venice Bitch 4. Happiness is a Butterfly 5. In Your Car 6. Cinnamon 7. 8. Hope is a Dangerous Thing 9. 10. How To Disappear 11. -
Mm, true.. it might’ve been that then, it seems like Sam def had a vested interest or motive on how he told Jon.. and ohmygod don’t judge me but u know what I thought of? I thought of the battle between Voldemort n Harry when they were flying ‘round Hogwarts in the deathly hallows with a mix of that flying nun gif ahhh ahahahahahahaha

My god this might b really stupid, but I really loved Esmerelda in the disney movie and always thought the cathedral/strcture was real beautiful. Hope u French peeps are doing ok, my heart breaks for u, not to b a sap, but my god it’s fucking devastating.. I hope they can salvage what they can ( -
I think, for me, the episode moved too slow, and I mean I appreciate the dragon flying scene, but honestly really, it feels a bit misplaced. The flow of the episode was a bit off imo. Also,
