I heard! I'm glad Lana posted that snippet on her Tik Tok today then!

I totally agree! Never to Heaven is actually my favourite in the audiobook because I love her meditations on pondering the nature of existence and favouring “the magic of the nowness” instead. As someone who has also studied philosophy, I really do think that oftentimes, as fulfilling as existential consideration is, it can ultimately feel like we are leading ourselves nowhere and that’s what I love about Never to Heaven - she kind of examines this domestic bliss as a turn away from always questioning things. She truly is such a brilliant and independent thinker.

I loved Chuck's videos for the songs on NFR so I hope someday we see this! They really captured Lana's essence in its rawest form and their simplicity is quite beautiful. California is one of my favourite songs of all time so it would be cool to have a visual for it!

This looks like it was filmed with by Chuck in early 2018 for the other NFR videos. She's wearing the same white windbreaker in some scenes in the Venice Bitch video and some of the scenes during the Bartender portion of the triple music video.

Aw, thank you so much! <3 and don’t worry about it! What I did was copy Violet from iBooks to my Mac’s desktop and then I changed the file’s extension from m4b to m4a. Then I had to import it into my iTunes library and adjust the starting and stopping timestamps to sync with each poem’s length. However, because it imports as one long 40 min track and not by each poem individually, I had to adjust the track to LA Who Am I to Love You’s length and starting and stopping timestamps and then go back and add the 40 min track again but this time adjust it to The Land of 1,000 Fires’s length and starting and stopping timestamps, and so on with the other poems. Just remember that each timestamp is relative to the poem that came before it! Let me know if you have any issues and hope this helps!

Violet and NFR truly complement each other so beautifully. After listening to them together a few times in the mixed and rearranged tracklist I posted on the last page, I can really see the synergy between the two - how each poem enhances its sister song and makes for a wholistic understanding of Lana’s headspace and perspective from ages 32-34. The little parallels and lyrical/poetical continuities between both projects make me smile. I am so grateful we have this gift of Lana’s writing and I hope she never stops. I can’t wait to listen to Chemtrails in September and develop further insights into that record’s narrative when Behind the Iron Gates is released in March. I hope she continues to release music and poetry that coincide with each other, as I feel we get to see a side of Lana that we don’t with her music. It takes a great deal of vulnerability to reveal all that much more in another medium and I feel like even though we don’t personally know her, we all probably feel a lot closer to her.

So incredibly put. This is so true and you’re absolutely right - I think this is the perfect bridge between Norman and Chemtrails and I’m hoping Bare Feet on Linoleum’s intensity, urgency, and darkness matched with Paradise is Very Fragile’s commentary and disenchantment with “the culture,” so to speak, is reflected in the upcoming record. I very much foresee it being that way and that makes me so much more excited!

Just thought I'd share the tracklist I made that includes all 14 tracks of both Violet and NFR! I kept NFR's original tracklist in order as I felt it flowed better with each poem as an interlude between each song. Each poem I feel at least generally matches a song on NFR all based on mood and tone, if not perfectly. Each poem prefaces its sister song. Hope you enjoy if you use! <3 1. Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass 2. Norman Fucking Rockwell 3. SportCruiser 4. Mariners Apartment Complex 5. The Land of 1,000 Fires 6. Venice Bitch 7. Salamander 8. Fuck It I Love You 9.

Oh I didn't even think of that but it makes so much sense! It's perfect! I'll actually edit that into my post, thanks! And thank you! I think so too since both of them are about Joe and deal with her contemplations of her emotions affecting her relationship. I love her brilliant mind and ability to put words down so beautifully

I think the most obvious parallels between NFR and Violet are as follows: SportCruiser and Mariners Apartment Complex Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving and How to Disappear Never to Heaven and Cinnamon Girl Paradise Is Very Fragile and The Greatest Bare Feet on Linoleum and Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have - But I Have it More of a reach, but I also think we could match Quiet Waiter-Blue Forever with Love Song and more closely to Bartender for the romantic moods (thanks @@GeminiLanaFan for this <3) and of course the vehicle themes. and The Land of 1000 Fires and Venice Bitch for their textured, layered, and rawer presentation and self-actualizing narratives juxtaposed with love. Maybe Happy and Happiness is a Butterfly for obvious reasons - potentially Lana was exploring the way she both lets happiness alight upon her and chases it, respectively. I love this project so much. <3

I think it's coming in 5 minutes, actually. Midnight EST / 9 PM PST is my guess and if not, then it'll be at Midnight PST.

Mine says it's available for purchase without pre-order already, just that it's processing. I emailed them though, and I think we should all do the same, as it's a case by case thing I think. Sample below for what I wrote: Hi there, I purchased Lana Del Rey's "Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass" with the credits I received upon signing up for Audible, and my order is stuck on processing. I have seen online that this has happened to others due to purchasing with the credits and I was just wondering if I can get anyone to sort that out for me so the title is made available in my library. Thank you so much!

I think we have to email them about it I think we have to email them about it Oh my god same

https://www.reddit.com/r/audible/comments/fbp6sw/stuck_on_order_processing/ It might have to do with the fact that we used the free credits you get when you sign up? Was anybody here already a member on Audible before Violet?

It just says "order processing" for me? Anyone else?

Mine says 2 hours 50 minutes! I guess it's just a set time besides Australia then! How exciting!

The verses in particular really carry more of a weight after her Mother's Day post

"She made special mention of one such individual, Jane Powers. “She’s a real estate agent. I met her seven years ago in New York and I loved her. I really wanted to be a singer. I would say, ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen.’ She’d say, ‘God didn’t save you from drowning just to beat you up on the shore. All you really need is patience when you have persistence.’ She’s just an angel.”" from https://entertainment.inquirer.net/163131/lana-del-rey-i-was-very-wild#ixzz6TQFKRec6 <3

Just a quick question about the release times - since it’s already out in New Zealand I’m assuming for North Americans it’ll be out Midnight EST / 9 pm PST? Like an album release?

That tweet about her looking "racist" with these pictures embedded is really hurtful. The toxic culture of twitter is damaging and at some point, it is going to catch up - especially because consequences aren't necessarily immediate for people who band with whatever prominent hateful rhetoric the culture is spewing. I hope Lana is able to see past all of these rude and uncalled-for comments.

Bullshit Filtered Bartender! The centrepiece of the next record!

Love this!!

She revealed the NFR album cover and tracklist the day before it was made for pre-order - she also announced that Violet would be available for pre-order a day before. I think it's highly plausible that she'll post the COTCC album cover and tracklist on August 4, then - only 12 days!

I think so! August 5th could be the date! @@Diamond Whore @@xxmissdaytonaxx thanks you guys! So sweet <3 I'm hoping this means the pre-order and other info is on its way!
