Finally listening to hq FIILY in my car feeling that fucking bass and honestly? Hook me up to a hose & call me a sprinkler because I’m squirting

If this is it, I'm signing off
Miss doing nothing the most of all
Hawaii just missed a fireball
L.A.'s in flames, it's getting hot
Kanye West is blind and gone
"Life on Mars" ain't just a song
Oh, the livestream's almost on
 
These lines are among the best she's ever written, and with the soft piano at the end... It's heartbreaking.     
AND it will transition to the last three piano tracks...   

You're right that it fits after FIILY. It's the transition to Love Song that I'm curious though. 

I started binge watching Mindhunter yesterday w my sister (watch it on Netflix it's freaking amazing and apparently season 2 is even better) and I was watching mindlessly videos about the serial killers they talk about in the show and I stumbled upon a video where they use a screenshot of Lana's rape scene from Marilyn Manson's video to illustrate a murderer raping his victims and I don't know why but that actually really troubles me. It's completely out of context and her image makes no sense being used here. I'm even more shocked that I instantly recognized her seing the picture is processed with filters.

Here's the video, at 12:27.

The colors. THE COLORS

People asking for the Cassette recordings? On my Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread??

We have 10 days to get to 4000 pages 

I see Lana’s Albums as her varying degrees of depression
 
BTD: She’s happy & sad but overall happy with life
Paradise: shit hit the fan but she’s still ok
UV: Worst place emotionally you can be at
HM: She’s come far but still has her bad moments
LFL: She’s faking being ultra happy trying to make it
& is going up & down emotionally.
NFR: She’s finally got it under control & finally feels happy, but she also knows she will never be 100%.
This album feels like another look back at her life. Her most honest album with the truest reflection. She’s confronting what makes her sad. So she ends the album basically saying. Her hope may bring her so very low again, but she has to have hope for the future. If we include pre BTD we can see she achieved the happiness we wanted. Yet SNL derailed it, she had a different HOPE for her career. She wanted the praise & as we all know that’s not what she got.

Maybe she's avoiding social media. Must hurt to have the album leak. I'd avoid social media as well if I was her. So much hurtful stuff has been said by fans this era who somehow think they're owed something. 

Did she reaaaally leak it tho? I know she recorded it for some rabid lanaboards users, but I doubt she was cunning enough to know to upload the audio on the sites it got posted on. Unless someone specifically directed her to upload them there...
What I’m tryna say is the users who bombarded her DMs begging for it are responsible for the leak, not the child who got her cassette early.
And all of y’all who came for her, saying such horrible things about a kid, y’all need to give yourselves a good look in the mirror and grow tf up

NFR should not be judged on the way the album rollout was handled. Could it have been handled differently? Absolutely. Lana should have never released singles so early, and should have never shared so many snippets so far in advance of the release. But we do not know what went on behind the scenes. The album could have been planned for an earlier release but something could have happened outside of Lana’s control. Communication should have been better, but it is what it is.
 
I have not listened to the leak, but I know better than to judge an album in a negative way just because I don’t like how the album rollout took place. Quality music speaks for itself, and I think NFR will speak for itself in the end.
 
Lana will always win in the end, and her work should be respected. She had put out 6 albums in a 7 years time. That is almost unheard of. She works hard and her work deserves respect. It seems to be that Lana fans have become very spoiled and feel entitled. It shouldn’t be that way.

You're so brave. Thanks for sharing your story.

****NFR SPOILERS****
 
Not too much detail, but the album is just what she said it is. It's low key, sleepy, piano-based and meandering. Clearly this is the kind of record she wanted to make right now. There's a shout-out to Joni Mitchell and Mitchel's early LA era. Maybe LDR's gotten to the point like (the admittedly much older) Kate Bush did in 2011, where she no longer feels obligated or interested in turning out 3-minute-ish pop songs.
 
Tori Amos has been producing NFR-like, piano-based gems like 'Indian Summer,' 'Garlands' and 'Oscar's Theme' for a decade, but then tacking them onto 'banger' albums as b-sides or as video bonuses, where few can find them. By doing this, she's shooting herself in the foot and almost condemning some of her best work to obscurity. Songs aren't ever going to make 'the Great American Song book' if few ever hear them.  
 
So I'm glad LDR did just what she wanted here. I especially like Bartender. 

What in the actual fuck her team is doing? People already have the song saved or uploaded unofficially and illegally on different services. Lana is losing streams. And there's still no offficial date for this release and FIILY release. Why did Lana get the most unprofessional managers out there? MESSINESS is getting DEEPER AND DEEPER, HARDER AND HARDER 

safekept in jack's bussy for the time being

This is such a mess LMAO

by how much are they gonna delay the singles? the albums out in 2 weeks
