Bambi Lies

I'm so fucking grateful it doesn't need to grow on me. I loved it the first time, I loved it the last time. Her brother?

I was not prepared for this.

Shock of my life...

Is the hardcover preorder only for US??? (Already preordered the vinyl because I'm a clown for her) ETA: Just found the UK link.

I love Lana and I'm obviously going to buy the album and listen to it on repeat a million times but so far the songs and snippets from NFR have been a little disappointing. Specifically the lyrics, (which tbh have been going down in quality since 'Ultraviolence' - well, 'Born to Die' really). And don't come for me if you disagree - we're adults and can have healthy differences in opinion.

I feel that line is just her using having a kid as another way of saying she has roots now. Her older music was all about escaping, being nomadic, young and free. The kid (representing her music/fans/career) and two cats in the yard (an established home in California) are her saying she's finally settled down, after all this time.

I thought she sang, "I was running some errands". The reality is so much better.

After listening to MAC, VB and all the snippets on repeat, NFR feels like it's going to be a happier UV.

This made me laugh.

Her top two albums: 1. Born To Die & 2. Ultraviolence (In that order) are untouchable. NFR will be fighting LFL and Honeymoon for 3rd place.

I hear 'hold me, love me, touch me, know me; be the first whoever did' That could just be wishful thinking though.

Shades of Cool, Off To The Races and Yayo (Original).

LFL is the G-Eazy era (kidding...sort of)

All of her best songs have come from a place of sadness or melancholy. BTD & Ultraviolence being the top two albums. He was bad for her but good for her music. No harm in stating that. It's not like Lana is gonna come on here, see that and make a Barrie booty call.

She needs Barrie again! Just for the length of time it would take to write another masterpiece like one of those songs. Then he can fuck off again.

How come no one ever requests she work with Dan Auerbach again? Ultraviolence was her second best album!

Quote me love.

I've listened to the album several times through now and I actually like it. I don't think it's her best album, (BTD=UV>HM>LFL) but TNC is amazing. I think the songs flow well as a whole, (even Coachella) but most aren't strong individually. I don't know why I always see a connection with Barrie in her music, but I noticed: TNC: I waited for you In the spot you said to wait In the city, on a park bench In the middle of the pouring rain 'Cause I adored you I just wanted things to be the same You said to meet me there tomorrow But tomorrow never came 'See her smiling' Barrie James O'Neill: Out under the stars, I'm waiting for something Something that's new - maybe you? The girl that's in the park, batting her eyelids Waiting for you, this is true There's other signs this song is clearly about Lana (mention of tabloids and paps).

I thought I was the only one going alone

I can't keep up with this thread! Every time I wake up it's jumped way forward. Has anything significant happened since Lana posted the snippet of her song with ASAP?

I'm still reading the 20 pages that popped up, but I didn't get a suicide vibe at all. I thought she was scared to slide off from the sign, and Abel grabbing her made her feel secure and brave.

Has anything new happened since we found out CWIMM isnt going to be on the album?

I like this song infinitely more now that I know it's not going to be on the album. Sort of how there are a bunch of unreleased songs that I love, but would hate to be official releases. It's cute as a random song, but not strong enough (in my opinion) to be part of her official discography. On a side note, if Barrie inspired UV, and Francesco inspired HM - what the hell is G-Eazy going to inspire?!

I'm not a fan of the song, and it does sound really sloppy but I hate the chorus the most. It doesn't fit well with the verses - vocally or lyrically.
