omg exactly like.... what else are they here for sis i'm sure she could say "jump" and they'd say "palm trees in black and white" "how high"

It'll be sick to hear PWYC, Cherry and Shades of Cool live (SoC especially!!) since I never have before but this makes me very very nervous that she's not gonna switch up the setlist much     
 
imagine having a discography as deep, exciting, varied and - above all - BELOVED as Lana's yet sticking to the same like 15 songs in every show lmao

is anyone else strangely obsessed with looking at pre-fame pics and videos of lana/lizzy?? feels like peering thru the looking glass

holy.... shit..... you're actually right wtf like zero sarcasm this has actually changed everything in my brain towards this song?? you know when people say "thanks I hate it" wellll THANKS I LOVE IT wtf omg

I love threads like these!! 
 
So I may or may not have thought about this a little too much... I personally like a setlist that flows well so I tried to think about it like that, but full disclaimer I haven't listened to any NFR songs aside from the snippets and the older singles so idk. I'm imagining this to be a tour that's promoting no album in particular, sort of like the Endless Summer tour! So just a little fun tour for the fans featuring a mixture of eras/albums.
 
Intro
1) Intro Medley: Lust For Life / Get Free / Love
2) Cruel World (short snippet, transitioning into...)
3) Brooklyn Baby
4) Blue Jeans
5) Salvatore
6) Doin' Time
7) You Can Be The Boss
8) Boarding School (shortened version)
9) Sad Girl
 
Intermission: Ride video intro
10) Ride
11) Yayo (with full band)
12) Terrence Loves You
13) Born To Die
14) The Next Best American Record

19) West Coast
20) Off To The Races
21) Heroin
22) The Blackest Day
23) Summertime Sadness

I know this will never happen because Lana would never perform for this long, buuuut... a girl can dream right? 

holy.... shit..... you're actually right wtf like zero sarcasm this has actually changed everything in my brain towards this song?? you know when people say "thanks I hate it" wellll THANKS I LOVE IT wtf omg

looking for love in all the wroooong PLAAAAACEEESSS ohhhmyGAAAWWWDD!! 

does anybody else have a few odd lyrics they wish they could alter on NFR??? i mean i know lana is the artist and i'm merely the listener    but there's a few little things i really wish i could alter
 
like in HTD: "you just crack another beer and pretend that you're still here" - the song is all about escapism and disappearing, so wouldn't it make more sense for the lyrics to be "you just crack another beer and pretend that you're not here"?
 
and in FIILY, i know it's super picky but: "i used to shoot up my veins in the arm, and shit's even brighter you're gone" i'd prefer if it was worded as "i used to shoot up my veins in the arm, it's brighter now that you're gone" idk it's not important lmao
 
oh and Bartender: "but sometimes girls just want to have fun"; in the verse prior she's already talking about girls having fun, there's nothing to dispute, so why the "but"??? surely it would make more sense as "cause sometimes girls just want to have fun" idk i'm being mad extra hahaha 

Why did I think it was gonna be translucent pink lol I love this! It’s like perfect bubblegum/hot pink
Is the green solid or translucent?

Norman Fucking Rockwell is the best intro song to any of her albums. Born to Die is one of my favorite songs of her's and all of the other albums have pretty good intro songs, but nothing compares to NFR. 
 
Strings come in, get you curious, then here comes a kind of cheery, pretty piano. Then finally, "God damn, man child..." And then you're kinda just sitting there giggling or at least smirking. Next comes, "You fucked me so good that I almost said 'I love you.'" DAAAAMNNN okay!
 
The melodies are beautiful, the lyrics are funny, the piano is perfect for setting the mood. Definitely one of my new favorite songs of her. I'm still blown away. 

sometimes i wonder if they’re the same...like maybe they’re not vape clouds, her lungs just do that

a full year of emotional cock and ball torture, and I thought we had finally reached the end of the road, but Mistress Del Rey said no, Sad Gays, it never ends, and laughed wickedly as she brought out the paddle, it never ends, it's White Hot Forever 

It's...not all that. I've found my people. I've lost my people. In the end, you realize how fulfilling solitude can be. What you describe, what you want, it's fun at first but it just leaves you empty. It's overrated.

I don't know if she has found her people. I certainly hope the Cha Cha Matchas aren't her people, because uh ...

Blue jeans (bitch!)
White shirt (bitch!)
Walk into the room (bitch!) you know you made my eyes burn (fuck!)

ohhh thanks! he reminds me of john krasinski for some reason

Im an MMA fan and know of him, the whole part about him fits him. Even the "getting high as they fight" it's really common for MMA fighters to get high before training particularly when doing jiu-jitsu, Joe Schilling and people he trains with are big into smoking weed.
 
The parts "moves mountains and" was I think a sneaky way of Lana putting MMA into the song and the part about "pounds them to ground", Ground & Pound is a big part of MMA - something Joe is actually bad at as he was a kickboxer used to stand up fighting and was quite poor on the ground and at jiu-jitsu.

When LFL first came out I hated White Mustang, but now it's one of my fav songs on there! Although it is a simple song it takes a while to realise how subtly it builds and layers and how her voice has this gorgeous sense of almost desperation at the "and you're revving, and revving...." part. I really sink into that song now.

feels funny that this is an unpopular opinion, but 'video games' is still my favourite ever lana song
