A masterpiece

She looks annoyed

Listening through this is my favorite so far. I find the simpleness of the theme so beautiful, and as a fan I'm happy Lana's found herself. We've come a long road leading to this, I felt as if it wasn't only her having this epiphany, but also me who was been by her side by listening to her music and her interviews since 2012. I think you could say at least five things about the details and subject of this poem, but what I loved the most is the feeling of becoming a bigger person, someone strong to rely on to. This is poem is a twin sister to Mariner's Apartment Complex for sure, and I've said this before but I'm glad Lana's feeling more emotionally mature and confident about herself. I’m not a captain, I’m not a pilot. I write! I write! Yes, queen! I cried tears of joy again, there's a million things to say but if you've been a true fan there's really no need to dissect this poem. Everything is so crystal clear in my heart

Has it been confirmed if the printed version will have more poems than the audiobook?

The audio be hitting a whole different way. I broke down with the hastiness in her voice, I feel as if I'm LA and she's asking me for things I cannot give her

I completely forgot we were getting the audiobook today!

I know I'm late but I just came up with a little interpreation for the lyrics. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought about a club night gone wrong Anyways, this songs always hits me different when I remember what never was with someone I loved. It's the way she pleads -I just wanna dance with you- that really makes me cry. As some of you said, the vocals hit weird the first time around but I think it helps to portray the feeling of the song, it's a raw cry between what may seem anger and the confusion of being rejected, but as the song comes down at the end and the melodies soften up, they come to show to what the singer really wants from this relationship, what she is really asking for. It's not just about dancing. She wants to be here with him, enjoy the fleeding happiness of being here at that moment for as long as she can. Why doesn't he understand something that she already realized it really is as simple as that? It doesn't matter what anyone else says about him or what he's been trough, although she can tell he's not completely fine. It's enough to be there and with him, but he just wants to call the night off. He won't drive her to her house, or ask her to end it as his, and he won't try to make to it all last a bit more by just walking down the streets. He's done with tonight and that's why she lashes. Don't be a jerk, don't call her a taxi, do you really want her as you said before? It's not about dancing but at the same time it is, yet is more complex than that and at the same time it really is more simple. She's asking him to stay, she wants him to stay, she's pleading him to stay. That would be enough but it is just not, at least not for him. That's why he'll leave like that. That's what makes me sad.

Girl, you never had uncles with wrong political views, did you? I mean, Lana's not this homophobic racist character but she's made a lot of mistakes lately and people just want to point out she either hasn't realized or just thinks everyone else is wrong.

The Lizzy Grant jumped out!

This aged so good mwa

One of the most interesting new artists since Billie. Beyonce's really pushing for them and you can definitely see the inspiration behind both of them too. The visuals are Amazing, and the songs are pretty good as well

I think the lack of bass is a whole vibe, even tho NFR doesn't have the deepness in sound records like UV and BTD had, I think Lana still managed to make the songs immersive and cinematic like in previous albums. She and Jack created more layback tracks yes, but unlike Honeymoon the richness in the composition, I mean to say, the use of the instruments in NFR was what made NFR a standout record. I think that if you listen with good headphones or speakers you can notice the work that was put in production this time, to add bass to the songs would have been to drawn out all the beatiful notes Jack gave to Lana's amazing melodies. Not to say the producers in her previous albums are bad, but I think this last record comes to show the magic Jack can bring to the Lana Del Rey world. I would love to hear more rich instrumentations from the both of them. With NFR I didn't knew what to expect since Jack has worked with so many artist and yet he always knows how to make different and interesting tracks. I think Mariner's and Venice Bitch really expressed what Norman was a whole, so I'm excited to see what the first single will sound like.

Well, Beyonce doesn't put her name anywhere unless she's directly profiting from it, I mean she's Beyonce and Lana's just not that appealing to the big general public... Ariana's promoting her single with Lady Gaga so she's not going to deviate her online profile from that till they go #1 on Billboard Nicki's pretty much the same only coming out of her social media breaks to secure her bag And I think Doja commented something? I saw something like that on my timeline, someone posted a screenshot of her commenting "gang sunk that dunker" or smth like dat, I don't have proof that it is real, I didn't really care about it

Go awfffff sis, let it out But.. If she goes live on Instagram I will report it

If she keeps this energy for the album I don't what would happen... omg

This was an interesting poem, but I don't feel as much as poetry as it is storytelling. I think the writing is beautiful, it completly made me feel as her... I completly drifted away in thought like her, only to come back down to earth to keep on doing the simple things of the day. That is the most typical things we as humans do, or at least what I tend to do. When there are so many things holding you back from the past and you just don't wanna be where you are you think about all the possible things you could do to get away, but without being able ignore the things that haunt your mind. I feel like the poetry book is still Lana Del Rey landscaped, you can see all the touches of failed fame, death and love but through a more realistic side, no as much fantasy added. In this one I believe she is yet again referencing the way she was treated in the press in 2012 with the whole SNL perfomance and her authenticity "Would standing in front of Mount Rushmore feel like the Great American homecoming I never had? Would the magnitude of the scale of the sculpture take the place of the warm embrace I've never known." (Is she saying she is deserving of a monument such as Mount Rushmore in her honor? I also think Grammy's are not enough Lana haha) Photoshoots for magazines or Paparazzi chasing her (once again)? Tiny beads of sweat dot my forehead Could be mistaken for dew drops if this were photo season. ... Leave me in peace I cry The thought about retiring yet again (Do you guys ever wonder how many times Lana will make another statement about retiring from music? She's been going about that since 2012 before Paradise, came back to it after the Paradise outtakes leaked, she wrote Swan Song, and has since the Honeymoon era made claims about touring just enough, and releasing just enough albums, and not promoting that much to be left alone little by little... (I think she's just waiting to start a family so she can retire) And now that I've gone scorched earth I'm left wondering where to go from here. What is surprising is that I believe she's touching on suicide(Stay on your path, don't fall away like the others) for the first time since her "I wish I was dead already" thing haha, ever since Get Free, Change and Heroin she proclaimed to be wanting to be a better different version of herself. In NFR (album) we see her claiming to be stronger than ever (see Mariner's Apartment Complex) and she concludes in Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman Like Me To Have to not being happy and yet not being sad either, just as in this poem "Bored - but not unhappy" And she is once more relating herself to Sylvia Plath "24/7 Sylvia Plath" - "Stay on your path Sylvia Plath" I'm glad she's doing better now, I wished she didn't identify herself as a tragic poet tho (Also, what do you guys think are the lies she's referencing to here "But alas this is a real life - and it's been a real fight just to Keep my mind from committing treason. Why you ask? Because she told the towns people I was crazy and the lies they Started to believe them" And when Lana says it's being hard to not commit treason isn't killing someone (the she that spread the lies) or herself, committing treason would have been to accept the lies that were spread about her, and giving up on music and disappearing from the spotlight. She chose to keep releasing songs, to prove she was a real artist and that her creations were art. And yet after all that, there's nothing left to do, where to go from here? I think it's really the theme of the poem

That is so sad she still has people getting inside her house I don't blame her for getting angry, imaging someone getting inside your house and the next thing is a fucker taking pics of your license plate... that would be so scary for me

A kii

It's going down.

This is the thought I have been holding onto all night

No, Dua has met Lana since 2014 when she signed management with Lana's managers and she's stated many times that she's a Lana fan. I think that Dua was actually paying tribute to many female artist that work in the music industry which never get the recognition they deserve, such as Lana.

Lana looked so fucking sad, I feel so sorry for her

Has Lana had any screentime besides her nomination?
