Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Terrence Loves Me 72,695]

its so boring and anticlimactic its hard to listen to

Not everything has to have a climax though, it's beauty on a different level

[Flowerbomb 65,594]

I just want the glamorous, bouffant haired, thick eyeliner Lana back.

Drag me.

[Macintosh Manhattan 6,511]

Girl where? MAC has some of Lana's least clear vocals.

Maybe on the instruments but definitely not on her vocals. It's still a great track ethier way that's what counts really

[Tristesse 1,765]

Yes babygirl. Anyone with functioning ears can hear the filter (or the piece of paper she's singing through).

 

Ofc there's a filter (paper most likely). But it's really fucking far from being her least clear vocals 

[UltraviolenceBaby 5,014]

can someone answer me please im not an english speaker

what did lana mean when she say " I'm the board"? please

[Formation 4,192]

I love the non-reverbed vocals, but I don't love how during the chorus her voice seems get loud during "don't look too far". It worked for Get Free because it felt purposeful, but in MAC it sounds likes bad mixing. Also I realize it's a tiny detail in a beautiful song, but I noticed it on the first listen and can't ignore it now.

taken from Urban Dictionary: 

A board is a female who is overwhelmingly attractive that you can't take your eyes off of them and that you have no chances of hooking up.

Change is one of her worst songs fight me

 

I wouldn't say Change is her worst, I think it could be better, but it was very last minute and didn't have time to be developed to it's fullest (you would all be begging for it if she had teased it and not included it on LFL ahaha).

 

But I do think she has weaker songs on LFL and throughout her discography... In My Feelings, Coachella, 24, Blue Velvet and The Other Woman (even though they're covers).

[fl0ridakil0s 3,959]

i'm telling you, sis left miss Lana behind in Swan Song!

conspiracy/theory under the belt

 

 

"Why work so hard when you could just be free? You've got your money, now you've got your legacy, let's leave the world for the ones who change everything." Pop stardom ---> Legend status, to the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. It can only be reached if naive themes and lyrics are left behind for personal growth and awareness.

Let's say Lana and Liz are two different entities in this song. Liz tells Lana it's time to move forward, guiding her towards the light that is LFL (a more universal, thoughtful record).

"And I will never sing again, and you won't work (to keep up appearances/fake it) another day" - Lana to Lizzy

"You've been gone so long, you missed everything. The world can change in a day if you go away." Could be Lana to Lizzy, saying "I've been keeping up the appearances, where are you?" "Do you like where you've been and where you're going to?" Or, it could be Lizzy to Lana, saying she's been trapped in her own cinematic universe, completely unaware of the real world happenings.

"Say goodnight to the life and the world you knew," - Lizzy to Lana

and Lana back to Liz: "I'm gonna follow you."

Do you like where [we've] been and where [we're] going to? 

Swan Song is not about a lover to me at all. it's like lana warned us that there was a great change in the discography to come, that "lana"- the bad girl, sad girl, glamorous beauty queen coney island lolita, would soon be no more. the past freezes over and they rise from the water where the ice meets

 

that's so sad, but so true 

[bored 7,938]

She also returned to Lizzy in HBTB... "lights, camera, accion".

[rumandrit 292]

I apologize for this more off-topic post but does anyone have a link to the images this cute like younger guy made of himself imitating Lana’s album covers. I think I saw them on Tumblr and I wanna find them again but it’s been a long time and I have no clue where they went. They were like really lowkey but cute and funny. BTD UV and HM I think.

[Macintosh Manhattan 6,511]

I'm not sure how relevant or important it is but V magazine has liked Lana's latest selfie and Florence Welch did aswell. Flo also liked Lana's MAC announcement too.

 

It could mean something or nothing at all

If Lana collabs with Florence i will be so annoyed, i cant stand that Womans scratchy loud voice. eUGHHhhdk

[bored 7,938]

I know that the Lust For Life era is officially over but it's crazy to me that there's another version of the album out there, like the 13 Beaches, Summer Bummer, Beautiful People and Tomorrow Never Came demos (all of which have different lyrics and different styles to the final versions)...

I wonder if there's anyone here who heard about her back in 2008-2010, when AKA was released, and then suddenly saw her again with the release of Born To Die

[bored 7,938]

I hope the resurrection of Lizzy Grant means A.K.A. will finally be released (even just digitally). I just want to have a HQ final album on my iTunes / Spotify

[Wynwood 19,967]

can't wait to hear the bop they made on this day
