i can picture it!! almost jazzy, like the live version of MDM or sad girl without all the production?? me too

what kinda vibes do y'all get from "let me love you like a woman"?? it sounds like a sexy, soulful, rock-meets-r&b track to me, but knowing lana it may well be a dry, folky song haha

Born To Die "minimalist" OIJSJFSDFJSOEA

Prom Song (Gone Wrong) vs Get Free

idk if this is unpopular but i really do miss lana's dark fucked up lyrics

every day i worry more and more that there will be no MAC, CG or even SOC at my show

RIGHT LMAOOOOOO like i'm not even against covers but..... the same cover every single night???? i like For Free, but it's really not an exciting song that i'd be particularly thrilled to hear live. yaaaaawwwwnnnnnnn i also don't think that cover is gonna translate well at all when she comes to the UK for example - we don't do american folk music much over here so i think people will be very confused don't burn yourself on that tea you spilled

as an alc*holic (ewww gross) myself who started drinking at 15, age limits didn't matter to me either but it's still an exciting thing to go and order your first legal drink like a real adult lmao! as for the rest idk about that X

AAAAHHHH STOP THIS IS AMAZING

how tf did i find this thread??? either way it's super interesting

you can be the boss rorman you can be the boss

have fun guys soooo jealous of yall seeing lana in these 2000 capacity places!! my show is 21000 capacity

now i'm willing to crowdfund to see you fist fight lana

no but we can crowdfund this????

true also!!! i mean, of course, she might just be lazy... which is typical lana

this is such a tough one. not saying our feelings are lana's responsibility bc, of course, they're not!! but even if she feels differently now to how she felt when she wrote and recorded those songs, a lot of us love those songs so much because we connect to them on a deep, personal and emotional level. even if we no longer feel how we did when we first connected to them in the same way lana probably doesn't (i mean many of us were just babiesssss when born to die was released!) it's still cathartic to relive or even bury those emotions thru the music. that's why live shows are so awesome when you have a deep connection to the artist. i can sing "I HAVE NOOOOTTTHHHIIIIIINNNGGGG WITHOUT YOUUUUU" while actually laughing at the fact that i once felt that way towards someone, now that my mentality's changed. lana clearly has a very different mindset. she seems SO determined to distance herself HARD from her past work, as if she's embarrassed she ever felt or wrote those things. i get it, in a way, but i also find it to be such a shame. we love the music, we connect to it, why won't she embrace that? let us have our melodramatic i looooooost myself when iiiii loooost yooooooou moment while singing along to TLY lana, dammit!!

it's a gorgeous song!! agreed on TNBAR, very shallow song [insert "why not both?" gif here] i'm with you! if people are enjoying the discussion then who cares. it's what the thread is for, surely?

i feel the same

i'd be fine with an ariana collab, so long as she doesn't compromise her lana del rey sound for the sake of her feature. i actually think their voices would work pretty well together.

so... which songs have aged the best and worst for you?? which songs do you guys feel differently about now??? for me personally, cinnamon girl aged terribly. looking at the above poll i can't believe i voted it as one of my NFR favs now i usually forget it exists. i think once the initial gut-punch of those lyrics (which personally i relate to so deeply) and the surprise of the outro has worn off, it's very very very forgettable and just repeats itself. needed something a little more to it to give it longevity. the greatest has aged like fine wine, i can't get bored of it. bartender has really grown on me too, because the initial jarringness of "bar-t-t-tender" isn't as bad for me anymore. fuck it i love you i still really like but i find the chorus really annoying lmao her vocals and lack of enunciation really bug me

update: she watched jojo rabbit according to reddit!

Children of the Bad Revolution vs Driving in Cars with Boys

i wonder which film she went to watch?

any way of reviving this as a kind of general NFR tour discussion/speculation thread?? there's things i want to talk about but better not to give but i don't want to clutter up the individual show threads, y'know?? what was really on my mind wassssss.... do we think there'll be any special guests for the UK leg of the tour?? lana doesn't seem massively close to many UK musicians, however i know she's on good terms with alex turner and miles kane and i don't wanna get myself excited but frankly i'd fucking DIE
