The way I opened this thread to the last page and saw all these descriptions about the album and had a near heart attack...

It was "There's no stopping now, green lights forever"
The album came out during a really tumultuous time in my life so it meant a lot to me. Probably would have put something from NFR! had it been released then

A lot of fans seem to put LFL at the bottom when it comes to ranking her title tracks... Meanwhile I used one of the lines from the song as my college yearbook quote

Full disclosure: I am a full-blown Barrie shipper so feel free to take this post with however many grains of salt you deem necessary.
I'd actually kinda forgotten I'd written these thoughts out. But re-reading them and then comparing the "demo" lyrics side-by-side with the album is both striking and eerie. Gone are all the lyrics that I said I thought sounded harsh or unfair, replaced by more complimentary lyrics expressing regret, acknowledgment of her own role in things, and wanting him back. (Incidentally, I agree with the consensus that the new lyrics are inferior despite probably being more fair and true to how she feels now.)
Now consider the first verse, pre-chorus, and chorus of the very next track, "The Greatest":
H/t to @@annedauphine for helping me remember the name of a bar a profile/interview talked about her going to with Barrie. From Nylon in 2013:
Now I haven't been able to confirm that Neptune's Net was specifically a "bar where the Beach Boys would go" (where's @@Monicker when we need him!), but it's a bar popular with surfers next to Ventura County Line Beach, a location referenced in the Beach Boys hit "Surfin' USA" so this seems the likely referent, which would make this a Barrie song.
If so, it's pretty significant that she's effectively describing the loss of Barrie in apocalyptic terms, placing it on the same scale as the civilizational decay of this shitty timeline we're all living through right now in which the world is on fire literally and metaphorically. The greatest loss of them all. This conflation is reminiscent of her cover of Skeeter Davis' "The End of the World":
Taken together, "California", as unsubtle of a let's-get-back-together-at-least-to-hook-up-if-nothing-else song as it gets, followed by "The Next Best American Record" and "The Greatest", this three-song block of Barrie songs on NFR (and there may be others) is quite a statement some five years after their break-up.
Two points in conclusion:
Between the Barrie songs and possible FJM references I wouldn't sleep easy if I was that Chase Stogel guy. Barrie, shoot your shot. Even if only for a booty call. -

Is there a known reason why Lana never tours Asia? I've been a fan of her for 6 years and I've never seen her live Is it dangerous to hope that the NFR tour might have an Asian leg...

I simply guess her team isn't sure about getting her to Asia, but I am absolutely sure she would sell out a few venues... it's all about risking. They weren't sure about South America 5 years ago and she's extremely successful here.
She's also very successful in Australia and she toured very little there. I don't know. I do hope she tours Asia! That time will eventually come x
