    I've really come to appreciate the Lizzy Grant persona over the past year or so. The AKA album is so good, but so incredibly unique and quirky. There is no other music close to it. Lana also has a shitload of unreleased songs that were written (I'm assuming) when she saw herself more as Lizzy Grant. The songs were so batshit crazy (in lyrics and how she sang them), and they were a lot more pop and rough around the edges, but that's what made them so fun and unique. I love Lana and how she's matured both musically and personally, and I like that we're getting bits of a Lizzy sound in some of her newer songs nowadays, but I really do miss the Lizzy persona. I miss the quirky, wild, crazy, immature, upbeat, badass, arrogant white trash version of Lana. Lana still never fails to impress me musically (I'm absolutely in love with Venice Bitch), but I would love to see what she would come up with channeling Lizzy nowadays. I don't think she's released an upbeat song since AKA, except maybe Florida Kilos.

    I couldn't agree more.

     

    As the world's premier Lizzy Grant stan, I think you summed it up so well :heart:

    That's crazy! I was just reading the first page of the minor questions thread and found your post and I wanted to ask you: did you ever found the redneck guys by the cars footage Lana used? It's kind of like a Moby Dick for Lana stans now

    I deadass think about that footage like every day (':

    norman rockwell was famous for his paintings of americana during wrtime. his work was often used as somewhat propaganda to encourage traditional american lifestyles

     

    yeah some of his art presents this super-wholesome image of America and kind of helped shape that image we have today of the 40s and 50s being such clean-cut, warm years

     

    i'm a huge fan but that's also why it's so funny and bold of lana to slap "fucking" right in the middle of his name :defeated:

    1/2 of me hopes I'm onto something cause it's a genuinely crazy n beautiful thing but fuck the other part of me

     

    i just want more autotuned loons and whale noises it's been 6 fucking years Venice Bitch is easily top10 in her entire discography and i love it but FUCK me i want some more LOONS lana  :defeated:  :defeated:  :defeated:

     

    i already buried the loons they're dead to me :defeated: like it feels like she's been stalled out but now she's taking a big, definitive step, and i don't think it's one she's gonna retreat from tbh 

     

    i said it (-;

     

    ofc you did! icon!!!!!!!!

    I'm not gonna place this with her 'LDR' discography personally, i know it sounds a bit cheesy but it fits better looking at her Lizzy Grant section imho; of course her lifelong discography would be the two "lists" compiled together but I can't deny that the title, while bad sounding for a LDR record- is perfect for something we'd expect from her pre-BtD, pre-blowup, pre-pop altogether. Even the damn cover isn't her in glam with a headshot, like every other LDR record was; it's just her set to a slice of life setting that evokes emotion, much like her AKA cover

     

    jus..idk hear me out n think about it

     

    While I hope to god she doesn't fade her glamorous persona for good I sincerely wouldn't be surprised if "Lana Del Rey" was over; or I'm being a casual fag and reading into things way too much and she'll go back to a LfL/Paradise sounds with more formulaic and boppier beats for LDR7 and completely shatter this theory

     

    GIRL i love this theory so fucking much i'm gonna shed real tears

     

    Norman Fucking Rockwell era already making me feel like the drunk girl @ the party telling everyone she loves them.... i have so many feelings rn and they're all positive

    I'm so in love with these songs, and all the creative decisions she's making -- I've never been so excited for an album, nonetheless one by Lana. 

     

    I have so many thoughts right now :defeated:

     

    Like, as much as I loved LFL, it seems like such an anticlimax compared to this. It's fun enough to listen to, but it really does feel empty compared to what she's given us here, already. I already love this for the same reasons I love AKA so damn much: it's Lana pursuing what she's passionate about, creating extremely unique, layered music. There's thought, soul, and inspiration behind it, and it shows. 

     

    As for how strongly the era is already dividing the fans, I think it's brilliant. I haven't seen such outrage or vitriol directed at Lana for her creative choices since Born to Die, and I think it's absolutely amazing this time around, because she's consciously making provocative decisions. Like, you can't title an album Norman Fucking Rockwell without knowing it's going to give you some hell. This is the same woman, the same provocateur, that once raised eyebrows in the extreme for opening a track with the line "My pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola". She's back.

     

    I love that, especially with Venice Bitch, she's returning to that idea of nostalgia and classic Americana that we haven't seen in years and years, but as someone here said (apologies that I can't remember who), it's matured. She's become the most adept at writing in her own style that she's ever, ever been, successfully combining her starry-eyed view of the past and America (hence the reference to Rockwell, who painted an idealistic, wholesome America) with the reckless abandon and controversial attitude that made her famous in the first place, which leads us to the big ol' "fucking" slapped right in the middle of the name of an American icon.  It's heart without excessive sentimentality, and attitude without bitterness. 

     

    I think these things combined (and things we have yet to see) will propel NFR to classic-level, like Born to Die or moreso -- maybe not in terms of widespread fan adoration, but in terms of being a stylish, smart, thoughtful and timeless record. 

     

    I'm over the moon  :crying5:
