Well she tweeted that she’s thinking of us... super sweet but... it’s over 

I’m just thinking back to that livestream and observing everything
 
When she’s talking about the 16 week delay for COCC’s vinyl process, she says “so in the meantime, I’m gonna give you a digital... (long pause, looks down at food) record of *insert Denny’s coffee cup* American Standards and Classics (looks across table at Clay?) for Christmas.”
 
She didn’t say ON Christmas... but she did say it was a digital, so all she would need is one post saying it’s out on streaming services and boom, done. I’ll wait a couple more days before realizing I’m delusional  
 
 

my favorite song from nfr is definitely bartender! i also really like california and venice bitch  

Bonjour hoes
 
So, a while back I actually bought access to that Mix with the Masters website. Both Kieron Menzies and Jack Antonoff had videos about Lana, in Kieron's case about High By The Beach and for Jack it was about Mariners Apartment Complex and The Greatest.
 
I decided to write down some of the more interesting stuff they said about Lana, since I haven't seen anyone else sharing this before:
 
High By The Beach
HBTB started with the chorus It was made when they were about halfway through the recording process, in the summer of 2015 Lana usually comes in with an idea, and Rick plays the piano trying to find the right chords (as seen in the Change video Lana posted back in 2017) Lana wrote the rest of the lyrics the same day they recorded the song The hip-hop vibes were Lana's idea All of Lana's vocals on the Honeymoon album were recorded with a U87 microphone. It was an extremly old mic Rick found somewhere in a closet of his and they never used it because it always sounded so bad, but they thought the trashy, lo-fi feel of it suited the Honeymoon tracks because it had the right amount of "dirt and brokenness" Lana usually does not record her vocals in the vocal booth, but in the control room with speakers on, which is the reason why there's always so much bleeding from the instrumental on her acapellas No autotune on Lana's vocals They call the outro a "poem". Lana wrote it after they had the idea for the music video and it was specifically written with the MV in mind. During the HM production process, recording, producing and mixing was all pretty much happening at the same time, rather than producing the song and mixing it at a later date. Lana was involved in every step of the album making process, from writing, producing, mixing and mastering it. Lana's mindset is "this is her vision, [...] this is what she wanted to hear". A lot of the mixing choices on Honeymoon were Lana's call Kieron says he thought the beat shouldve been brighter and hotter, but Lana said she doesn't like it, and he thinks they ended up with a more natural sound that way  
The Greatest
Lana and Jack usually write songs by Jack playing on his guitar and Lana singing over it The Greatest started with the chorus chord progression Jack added flutes and horns because the song feels like a "death march" for the culture They were figuring the song out as they were going There's 40 vocal tracks in the final song They wanted it to feel like Lana is singing in a bar Lana's voice was supposed to feel like its the glue holding the entire album together, which is why its so "on top" of the instrumentals  
Mariners Apartment Complex
There was no chorus at first, Lana started with the verses Jack thought it would be called "I'm Your Man" Again, Lana and Jack record in the same room, she's singing, he's playing the guitar The end of the song is a homage to Venice Bitch with the trippy guitars coming in

oh my god, that are exactly mine too! 

Nfr is her best

She updated her bio on Insta : I thought somebody could tell me how - but I found nobody could ?

There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly 
On the wings of a bond
There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in hotly
& it's coming in strong
 
 
 
Lately I've been thinking
It's just someone else's job to care
Who am I to sympathize
When no one gave a damn
I've been thinking
It's just someone else's job to care
Who am I to want to try, but
 
Change is a powerful thing
People are powerful beings
Trying to find the power in me
To be faithful
Change is a powerful thing
I feel it coming in me
Maybe by the time summer's done
I'll be able 
To be honest
Capable
Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall 
When I don't feel beautiful
Or Stable
Maybe it's enough to just be where we are because
 
Every time that we run
We don't know what it's from
Now we finally slowed down
We feel close to it
There's a change gonna come
I don't know where or when
But whenever it does
We'll be here for it
 
 
 
There's something in the wind
I can feel it blowing in
It's coming in softly 
On the wings of a song
There's something in the water
I can taste it turning sour 
It's bitter
I'm coughing
But now it's in my blood

Mmm
Yeah, whenever it does
We'll be here for it
Mmm
Whenever it does
We'll be here for it

Wait she sang 4 songs? Always thought that she only sang Hey Blue Baby & I must be stupid....
And really amazing that you saw her in 2018, performing two new songs!!!
