I don't really know and I have no concrete evidence, but I still think the song NFR is about Jonathan Wilson, and maybe other songs of the album, and also some poems of Violet.

It is a long post, sorry about that.

From L.A. mag :
https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/how-jonathan-wilson-accidentally-rebooted-the-laurel-canyon-music-scene/
"he is first and foremost known for revitalizing the Laurel Canyon music scene, the neighborhood that was home to Joni Mitchell"

I think he is the resident Laurel Canyon who she is talking about, he has a lot of influence there where he lived and set up a studio where he collaborated with many artists as a producer. I could see him throwing parties and organize some jam sessions with friends often.
Maybe Lana felt a little bit forsaken.

In NFR :
"You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you"

In the Bird World demo version of NFR :
"Heard you're back in the bar again
Hangin' out with your stupid friends
Playing with your guitar again
But I don't fucking care"

It reminds me of the white mustang music video where the guy, wearing long hair, was producing music or in a party instead of taking care of her, so she left.

About that, it was said that the video were supposed to be made in first intention for Best American Record. He could be the musician she was talking about, writing his own record with her (she collaborated in his album Rare Birds) :
"He was seventies in spirit, nineties in his frame of mind"
The Laurel Canyon scene was at its peak in the 70s, with CSNY for example, who he collaborated with.
And suddenly in NFR, Lana namedrops the Eagles, CSNY and Joni Mitchell.

"But you were so obsessed with writing
The next best American record
That there was nothing left by the time we got to bed
Baby, that's a shame
You were so obsessed with writing
The next best American record
You did it all for fame"
I know this could stand for Barrie, but I never saw him seeking fame.

I think their albums "Rare Birds" and NFR (what about Bird World ?) talk about each other. About the name "Rare Birds", Jonathan said that it stands for two lovers like two unique individuals who met and fell in love.
There are several songs in Rare Brids that make me feel are about Lana.

Mulholland queen :
"You are perched up on the ridge of town"
"Oh baby, you're so blue and wise"
"With the babies breath in a crown-like shape"
"Through your laugh, I can breathe in a childlike air
With you dear, I'm in awe of a creature rare
With your tender smile and your pretty little dress
With your jazz in your heart, you don't need all the rest"
"From the curves of Bel Air to Topanga Creek
As we hear what the masters have sang us before
All the Billie and the Chet and the Pharaoh of yore"
"Under those big eucalyptus'
Where your grasses are green
Where you sway under the heavens
And your dominion is every...
Star"
This last sentence is almost repeated in the poem "La who I am to love you" :
"With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion"
Furthermore, for those who don't know, Lana loves Billie Holiday and Chet Baker.

Loving you :
"To wake up with you
Thats all I wanna do
Billie she was skipping all night
We didn’t even notice her"
"A match thats made beyond
The barricades of space and of time"
"Oh complex you
I know just what i will do
I’ll simply write another verse of you
A melody to keep you inside"
"Mostly talent
Most mystic
The rest it is magic"
Nota Bene : Lana is credited on this song (although we don't hear her).
Also, this song has a "summertime madness" edit version :

There's a Light :
"There is a garden
In the expanse of your mind
The harvest will speak volumes in due time"
"You are America and you are everyone
You are the miracle of love
With all your children at your feet
You are the ocean from above
So dear so deep"

Sunset Blvd :
"There's a cherry on top tonight
For men who look like jesus tonight
If you play your cards right
You can be the the son of god tonight
You were thin you were undersized for the spring
You entered your name just as "tight blue jeans"
In my phone I guess you do this kind of thing"
I def see her doing this

Living with myself (ft. Lana) :
"The lies, I start to believe them"
Lana in Bare feet on linoleum :
"and the lies, they
started to believe them"

Hard to get over :
"The way you make love
Makes me see my funeral
On my wedding day
The way you’re daddy’s girl
I’ve watched the reel
I still don’t believe it"

Otherwise, I think he is the John in How to disappear :
"John met me down on the boulevard
Cried on his shoulder 'cause life is hard"

For the timeline we know they dated in 2016, and maybe in 2017 (we have pics of Lana attending a Pink Floyd show on june 2017 in which Jonathan Wilson toured as a guitarist).

Maybe all this is too far fetched, but I really thinks he had a big impact on her, and on her art.
This is my interpretation that I had in mind since a long time, and of course I could be totally wrong.
