I think it should've been called Happiness is a Firefly. 
 
"Try to catch it like every night
It escapes from my hands into moonlight"
 
Would've made more sense because they come out at night. When have you ever seen a butterfly fluttering about at night? NEVER, that's when. 
 
Plus I feel like fireflies are very underrated whilst butterflies are overrated. 
 
I like being insane, it's fun. 

Well, I think that part is actually quite clever. I ranted about this somewhere else, but I forget where.
 
I think the stutter represents relapsing into alcoholism. Most alcoholics don't just get sober and stay sober ... it's a shaky road to sobriety, and they "stutter". And I think the "ha ha ha ha" is similar in that it represents a kind of ... amused resignation that she'll never, truly be 100% "cured".
 
I stan Bar-t-t-tender.

I love how she was asked if the album is referred to as NFR and she was like, "no", as if it was news to her ... yet it's on the censored cover, on her pop-up merch, on this banner .... 
 
Silly sis. 

I thought I might as well be really unpopular:
 
I do not like that she's mentioned this new album the same day as she dropped NFR. It makes me very uneasy and I really wish it was all a lie.
 
1. She's definitely working with Jack again, so we can expect more of all of the stuff I just bitched about.
2. She seems almost manic, and of course it's her prerogative, but doing two albums back-to-back + touring + 341232 soundtracks seems like a really great way to burn out.
3. The title, "White Hot Forever" is quite alarming ... I don't even know what to think. I am scared of the unknown.
4. I am downright TERRIFIED of what she's writing about, given her current influences, which include Beverly Hills social climbers and Churchome.

There's going to be fightin', but I'm going to say it:
 
Jack Antonoff simply isn't the genius that most of the people here think he is. I'm not saying he's untalented, and he's obvious good at playing a range of instruments, but imo, he tries to be ... pun intended ... Jack of all trades and as a result, I think the production of NFR suffered.
 
There are some very obvious flaws. For example, the vocals in HTD increase in volume noticeably at 1:25 when the jingle bells come in, and that mic change in Cinnamon near the start.
 
There's just a lot of "rookie error" type o' shit, yet these people get paid shitloads and they had plenty of time to fix all of this up.
 
They definitely remastered VB and MAC between their release and the album release. It just seems sketchy as fuck to be remastering two tracks that are less than a year old. The fact that they found stuff they could improve in that amount of time tells me that they didn't do it properly the first time. You remaster 10 years later when the technology has improved; not 12 fucking months later. It screams "mess".
 
I always got the impression that Lanz was very pedantic when it came to mixing and mastering, so I'm surprised she let this shit fly.
 
Jack, I do not love this chord production

I think it's supposed to be uncomfortable, though. That's the whole reason it's there.
 
I think it embodies her struggle with alcoholism ... it's a literal stutter, and people struggling with addiction generally "stutter" in the sense that they have relapses. It could also indicate that she's actually still drinking despite all of her attempts to stop (as drunk people stutter and slur).
 
And as for the "ha ha ha haaa" ... to tie in with the above, again, I think that is an expression of sarcastic amusement because it will ALWAYS be a struggle and she knows she's deluding herself to think otherwise. It could also be her laughing at the fact that she has to play all of these games to hide her relationship/s from the paparazzi.
 
Anyway, she said in her interviews yesterday that Bartender reflects her life right now, which I found interesting.  I wonder if that's also why she moved to San Diego, so that she has some privacy and is away from the toxic LA culture.

Seriously, what the fuck is this discussion?
 
There is no such thing as women being sexist against men (ie: "reverse" sexism - or the reverse form of any oppression). Women can be prejudiced, but they cannot be sexist, because they do not hold political, economic, and institutional power. Men do.

I thought this song was soooo boring with the LQ leak that I didn't listen to it even to the chorus until the official release, and fell in love immediately hearing the chorus. Someone in the pre-release pointed out that the t-t sound sounds like a camera shutter, but I'm really loving the other interpretations too. Such a great song- it feels halfway between LFL and NFR, but in a good way. Very refreshing when you're listening to the album

love the chorus' melody overridden the lyrics, making it sounds flawless and pretty, only lana del rey can do that tbh. "I bought me a truck in the middle of the night"

Even though the production is sparse I find it so cinematic. It’s absolutely stunning.

genius.

Bartender

hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but i have it
 
I shall put mine in a spoiler so as to not accidentally influence anyone else before they do theirs:
 
 
 

She's too attached to the dancers to get rid of them, plus she will only add a couple of songs to the tour playlist. Those will be NFR and Cinnamon because one has a long intro, one has a long outro, and both have a good amount of repetitive lyrics.
 
I can't see her doing most of the other songs on this tour, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
 
I'd also love it if she re-did her stage like the stage in that bar in the FIILY/TG video. Obviously the show stage is much bigger, but she could have neon signs and replicate the lighting 'n' shit.

The record starts in all blues for me, then it gets warmer and is ending with blacks

Sissss you gotta commit ... tell us 'bout the NFR video (when it's coming out, what the other song is) ... if you don't want to, then DM me and then I'll tell everyone and then you don't have to take responsibility.
 
But if she told you then she mustn't mind people knowing.
