the greatest bitch

idk i feel like they tie in with the jimmy universe and also show the light at the end of the tunnel

If you want a basic bitch, go to the beverly centre and find her 

does anyone else think fishtail sounds like a demo, especially during the second verse.
 
the more i adjust to this record the more i think the last 3 songs just shouldn't be there.. they're bonus tracks in my mind 
 
or maybe they should have been european exlusives like flipside and is this happiness (is that what they were?)

My thoughts on this are that this album is the rawest, the most sincere, the most personal thing she has ever put out. There’s so much to relate to or to think about, whether it be family themes, trauma, love, loss, friendship, observing the world, evolving, building one’s life. It’s just so heartfelt and this is why the vast majority of us love it. In 2021, literally none of those 80 minutes existed and she managed to craft them all. It’s incredible because of how much emotion there is in every single minute of that record, it’s incredible to think all of this could have never been created and it still was. I think it’s not moving in the exact same way as her older work was, because I think what she used to do was simpler and maybe more directly impactful so it got more to the point: I think the structures were more clearly delineated, the melodies too, the lyrics were less enigmatic, there was definitely more world-building, and I miss this older style too sometimes. It’s hard to explain, but I think we can all agree she doesn’t make songs like Old Money or Dragonslayer anymore, without being able to pin down what it is exactly there used to be and there can’t be anymore. But her new music has a lot of qualities and I think more of us will be glad she took that path when the undeserved Chemtrails / Blue Banisters hate fades away. I personally hope she’s going to continue to explore whatever she feels like exploring because I’ve been satisfied with and deeply moved by all of her albums. I would also love for her to go back to her lower register, to starting electric guitars again, or to do songs that have bridges with a different chord progression than the verses (an element that used to really enrich the songs up until the Honeymoon era), but I think it’s important to realize the worth of what we got and to be thankful for it and for the unique path she has taken. There’s so much we got (including her unreleased work) and so much that we’re going to get and we can not even imagine yet.

Beautiful (even though it's not on NFR) is also a surf rock song , don't forget that besties 

i really think that fake insider thought the instrumental from her tiktok that was captioned "its beautiful" was from the song beautiful and thought it'd be an easy way to be right and look like a real insider but it was really from the poem quiet waiter blue forever so they were wrong

yeah actually i would consider all of the songs you listed at least a little bit surf influenced. i'd also add mariners apartment complex, how to disappear, & happiness is a butterfly. afterall, she very specifically said she didn't mean surf like dick dale which ironically is what everyone seems to think she means by surf.

I have no idea what “surf rock” means but based off vibes alone of those 2 words Fuck it I love you, Doin Time, Venice Bitch, The Greatest and California give “surf rock” vibes
 
I feel like this surf rock discourse has discussed to death since 2018. Maybe it’s time to move on

a great deal of songs from all her albums have folk influence. at heart, she is a folk writer and a folk singer. but if we're full on calling nfr a folk album, lets do the same with all her other albums 

?
 
I don’t see how it’s really debatable tbh- even mac and Venice have some folk influence in there- BAR is definitely folk mixed tropical pop 

I’m in loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 

What do you mean with Peppers because you qouted her talking about NFR!

i'm pretty sure its referring to
 

A&W to Judah to Candy Necklace is some of the most Lynchian work she's ever done. She channeled him so hard with this run. Blue Velvet indeed, the seediness of what's below a pristine surface. A young girl cartwheeling, the preacher preaching, and the Candy man himself. But the girl is in danger, the preacher is shouting, and the the Candy necklaces don't taste right.

i know there's lots of talk of old lana vs new lana and whwre we're going from dykttatuob so this is my two cents on the matter. sorry if this gets a littlw off topic, but i think it ties in. tbh i don't see a clear line between new and old lana, even lots of fans can't decide whether old lana ended with uv, hm, lfl, or nfr, etc. personally i see less of an old vs new line and more like multiple stages. stage 1 would be aka-btd-uv, stage 2 hm-lfl-nfr, and stage 3 cotcc-bb-dykttatuob, which would mean with the next album we'd be heading into stage 4. i could go into what i think ties each stage togethwr but i don't wanna get too off topic and i'm sure most of you can kind of see the shared themes and mindsets of the album within each stage (but i can go further into it in another thread if anyone is interested). not that these albums are all the same, they are  quite different, but they do seem to exist in the same sort of frame of mind or seasons of life. that being said, i feel like dykttatuob closed the stage that began with cotcc and we'll be onto something new with the next record. i'm not sure where we're going from here, but i feel like there once again will be a shift.

confirmed foot fetish!

I dont know anyone left to know the songs that I sing,
 
and that's how the light gets in."
 
Peak lyricism. This song gets more and more beautiful everytime I listen to it.
