Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[BluVelvUnderground 1,754]

Oooh. I'ma do this. 

 

I'm predicting 12 tracks, with another song - somewhere in the middle (like track 5 or 6) - being about 7-8 minutes long. With that in mind, swap that unknown prediction with VB's placement at the end. 

 

01. Mariners Apartment Complex

02. Norman Fucking Rockwell

03. Cinnamon

04. In Your Car

05. 

06. 

07. Happiness is a Butterfly

08. 

09. 

10. Hope is a Dangerous Thing-- (is it Sylvia? Idfk, I'm gonna assume it is.)

11. How to Disappear

12. Venice Bitch

 

I can imagine it being Lana-ish to have a ballad like Sylvia - then work back up into a more laidback wall-of-sound beat like HtD (which is still melancholic), and then finish on a note of "lightness" that she started the album with by finishing on VB. 

 

Or not.

 

Goddamn, this is the first era where I'm getting desperate. 

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,266]

She already said it’s 11 tracks

lol of course she did

[salvatore 21,764]

Imagine having a brain that would actually think this.

 

can your one and a half braincells even imagine anything anymore given how you've obliterated any taste or common sense left in your feeble little closed mind that you let your inner conscience sulk in every hour of every day cause you can't bare to admit Yosemite might actually be a decent song you wretched little malnourished newt

She makes me question myself if I’m really a Gemini too.

SAME MY CHART IS GEMINI DOMINANT YET LANA IS STILL MORE OF A GEM THAN ME

[Beautiful Loser 47,311]

SAME MY CHART IS GEMINI DOMINANT YET LANA IS STILL MORE OF A GEM THAN ME

I don't believe in astrology and don't really get it either, but our gurl is being so random these past twelve months and makes me look like a bleak Gemini copy or something.

[Peachycream 3,582]

Ummmm amazing.

I was drunk and only skimmed through it but i just listened to the whole thing and Im thinking lana needs to hire fans to produce her next album

[LanaRayDelMar 2,699]

After killing my last brain cell listening to all the snippets we have for the 1000th time today i have an open mind and can say I'm really excited for the new era and music! 

[Anita Malfatti 2,978]

Do y’all remember when she said she wanted “young and beautiful” to be called “will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful”? I think she’s always loved long ass titles but now she has more power of decision

[Flowerbomb 65,562]

This is just a personal opinion, but I find one word titles to be more powerful? Kinda like how The Smashing Pumpkins album Siamese Dream had song titles like 'Today', 'Silverfuck', 'Luna', 'Soma', 'Disarm' and so on.

I find it sticks in my brain more. Also on here, lots of people will now have to use acronyms for her titles and it literally takes me more than 5 minutes to figure out which song some of ya'll are talking about

I just hope she doesn't always have long ass titles in the future...

we remember "there's nothing more gorgeous than a hundred dollar bill" or something like that

Me making a full circle everyday

[Anita Malfatti 2,978]

In an interview with Catalunya Ràdio; Del Rey said she had three new songs for her third extended play, Paradise: "I Sing the Body Electric", "In the Land of Gods and Monsters" and "Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young and Beautiful."

[WildMustang 14,734]

Yet she cut Young And In Love to just "Love"

[Life 3,858]

Yet she cut Young And In Love to just "Love"

 

she made a good choice

[TrashMagiq 56,491]

Yet she cut Young And In Love to just "Love"

That’s because the message wasn’t really about being young and in love, but more about just being in love. (even tho she literally sings “to be young and in love”)

[sweetie 6,616]

I'm impressed at this level of mental gymnastics you did to come to that conclusion

 

 

The song is definitely about being young and in love, but perhaps she cut the title so that it is a bit more distinct from Young & Beautiful.

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,326]

She's been prepping us for the cotton candy skies concept for a while. #vapeinfluencer, shoulda known smh 

Just quoting this because the combination of your comment + that GIF is genius. Your mind etc., we stan!

 

On another note, I've always found it rather pointless to speculate about the order of the tracklist based on just snippets and song titles, but I definitely agree that MAC should be the opening track and Venice Bitch feels like it'll be in the second half, but not the closing track. I'm guessing second- or third-to-last. Then again, Lana had the perfect opening track for Lust For Life with 13 Beaches, yet she made it song number three...

didn't she changed it just bc the leak?
