You people are freaking Mr Robots here wth -
maybe Lana changed the lyrics because the song was about Barry and it was pretty harsh because he's not doing great and he is not very successful and maybe it made her uncomfortable to rub it in his face singing "you did it all for fame - tell me how's life treating you now" ? / On the other hand I agree with those of you who say the new lyrics are really bad - BAR was one of my favourite unreleased too but like someone else said before I too feel like there is something missing in the NFR version, whether it is the lyrics in the chorus or the instrumentals not fitting NFR

Thank you. Yes it is better quality. Well, just like everyone else seems to have noticed, I too agree that the a cappella part goes on a bit too long before the orchestra kicks in and there’s little cohesion with the choir but there might be a reason for that (of course it’s just speculation on my part). I think that the instrumentals were entirely built around the documentary and the si bf was intended to be heard with it - not on its own like, say, young and beautiful. For example it doesn’t make any sense for the piano chords at the beginning to suddenly drop if not to fit in with the bit of the documentary we saw on IG.

It's the witchery for me ... Lana has managed to get football fans (generally homophobic or uncomfortable with homosexuality more or less openly / more or less unaware) to ask to have her sing this at the stadium when covid is over like they have no idea what they are getting themselves into - if this happens, there will be literally NO SEATS available for the straights to watch the game because all of us will have bought tickets and will be queuing outside the stadium for three days lol - they better rethink this

You know, I said before how the song didn't really do much for me as opposed to other versions (Ella's or Billie's for instance - which I still feel like are above Lana's) but I've been finding it more and more pleasing to listen to Lana's version lately. What I think they did with the song is they tried to give it a Lana imprint and made it hypnotic and sultry - perhaps a little too sultry for a lullaby. That's what took me off guard at first. Also parts of the video feel a little bit over-acted and this kinda clashed with the vibe of the song for me, whereas the bits where they're road tripping in the car and it all feels slowed down and like they're on some weird shrum trip or something it's cool and matches the vibe more (again, the vibe I think they were going for with the song). Listening to the song without watching the mv is way different and it's making me appreciate the song more and it's now definitely grown on me and yes, like you said, totally blows lmlylaw out of the water.

wait , is Norman hated here? Anyway I too wasn’t too blown away by the song. The instrumentals are so gorgeous though and very detailed, the backup singers are fierce. Lana’s tone in comparison is somewhat flat and I think her voice has been mixed way too loud - It’s so hard to sing jazz properly, I think it takes a lot of actual training and a specific technique and you shouldn’t attempt unless you know what you’re doing, like it’s really hard. Even Amy had her issues when singing standards or standard-sounding songs, and Amy was literally brought up on jazz. I’m happy Lana’s happy that she’s helping though, this is important.
