Norman Fucking Rockwell - Pre-Release Thread

[Wynwood 19,967]

where was jack when lust for life needed him?

[American Bottom 16,228]

I said it once and I'll say it again... the background vocals on Season Of The Witch really make the song. Sooo good.

 

The "When I look over my shoulder (What happens then??) " part gave me STRONG Shangri-Las teas. Like wow...just wow. Whenever she does 60's/70's stuff shes truly in her element!

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

Yes.. this WILL be my tracklist

 

i really really hear strong similarities between Doin Time and SOTW. Like SOTW is the more mature older sister who's more chilled out and less upbeat but still giving everyone what we need. The vocals and bgv are like legit the same. I wouldn't be surprised if they were recorded around the same time as each other

[KingJay 3,018]

Omg, I love both of the new songs. Lana really is coming through and feeding us huh,

[American Bottom 16,228]

You've got to pick up every stitch

 

 

Beatniks are out to make it rich

 

 

Oh noooooo

 

 

Must be the season of the witch

Do you guys even realize how amazing this song will sound in October?

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

LDR is in her prime

[KingJay 3,018]

Is it just me, or does the second verse on SOTW sound a bit lower? Is it meant to sound that way?

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,514]

Just realized Looking for America cover has a painted sky.

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,107]

Wow so she really gave us an iconic cover today, and also put Looking for America (with some really good production!) up for streaming....... we really are so lucky

Lana del Rey covering The ballad of Lucy Jordan... A concept

[poetic jess 2,340]

And yet some ungrateful fuckers think we should unstan her cuz she doesn’t do anything

That’s not what they were saying and they weren’t telling people to stop being fans of her? LOL

I’m so glad I snatched marianne_faithfull as a username years ago

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

LFA is actually pretty nice and well written (unlike all of the so called political songs on LFL) and I'm happy and impressed about the way she made and released it.

However, the track that will keep me busy until NFR/ the next NFR single is definitly SOTW

[bluefiona 8,050]

Looking for America is actually very beautiful. The guitar sound reminds me of Leonard Cohen Hallelujah. 

 

However (unpopular opinion) I don't like her cover of Season of The Witch. I thought it was going to be different then what it turned out. 

[TrashMagiq 58,573]

Honestly I think a song would be better than a manifesto from Lana - but if it rings as vapid as her lyricism or poetry, i don't think the world needs it fr. Like Lana's profiting off of people's misplaced emotions around society crumbling and it all just seems so shallow

 

"We used to only worry about the children at night " -- who's kids? Just the rich white debutantes in pink dresses? Not homeless gay kids on the street, not immigrant children ripped from parents and kept in state custody under armed guard (oh my, guns!), not child laborers abroad sewing shitty merch!

Does Lana "believe in the country America used to be" as in like MAGA or before white Invaders committed genocide against the indigenous people there? (With guns!!)

If only we could all jus sit straight christian white rich and pretty in our Norman fucking Rockwell painting lives and fly the American flag at the 4th of July barbeque and watch fireworks and ignore the bloodshed (from guns!) that vacated the land so the concrete patio could get poured.

Lana can playfully run from cops in Venice Bitch video with no worry, it's just fun with the neighborhood kids! Just be privileged enough and you don't have to worry ab the cops shooting you (with guns!)

Let's just fly the flag and shoot fireworks and ignore all this, and ignore anything that might actually help America confront its culture of violence. It's just a dream I had in mind!

 

If Lana wants to make a statement so blatantly vapid and ignorant, honestly she should keep it to herself. She's not helping anyone do anything but center her own first world issues and ignore reality.

 

 

i'm not surprised that the fake wokeness would jump out when she released that song. people truly always find a way to spin a situation so they can get offended. it ain't that deep. she's doing more than any of these celebrities with their "sending prayers to the families" tweets are doing. she made a beautiful song about her personal feelings during this time and y'all spin it around to make it seem like she's the devil.

[sirensXsilence 462]

I'm still pretty 'eh' about SOTW, but I can definitely hear the Lizzy/Kill Kill quality to it that people were mentioning.

 

LFA is beautiful. The second half hits more with me.

[TrashMagiq 58,573]

Imagine using very real issues like police brutality, deportation and gay kids getting kicked out of their homes as a way to twist a situation so you can get offended over nothing and make posts so you can express your fake wokeness. That's so fucking disgusting. You might think you're calling out ignorance but truly you're the ignorant one. Get it together.
