for me, i always feel like Venice Bitch should be a closure track, it just has that ending credit vibes

Lana’s vocals on the second chorus of FIILY >>>> especially the way it sounds on the physical version god it’s sounds so heavenly

I just made "Bird World Edition" for NFR from Lanita's latest ig photo.

With new tracklist arrangement x

 

This is stunning! I immediately thought of NFR when I saw that photo.

I haven't listened to the title track in a while, and I listened today. When I tell you I got goosebumps  I've always loved this album and it's been my favorite since it was released, but I'm feeling so connected to it right now in a way I haven't in a while

Everytime I listen to this album it makes me miss the sea & the beach so so much it's unreal I think my favourite aspect about this album are the sea , summer/end of summer vibes & the "surfy" influences on some songs

[clementines 9,908]

The greatest remains the best song on this album...truly a god tier song 

[Venice Jesus Whore 4,471]

Venice Bitch might just be the best song of all time.

because it is

[bored 7,938]

Thinking about how she said the album was complete at the time she recorded Doin Time and was 11 tracks. Later became 14 tracks with the additions of California, Doin Time and The Next Best American Record.

 

Do we think it was just the same tracklist order and these 3 songs were weaved in towards the end? Or do you think there would have been an alternate sequence prior to these additions?

 

This is my guess at a potential original tracklist:

Spoiler

 

01. Norman Fucking Rockwell!

02. Love Song

03. Cinnamon Girl

04. Fuck It, I Love You (alt. mix)

05. Mariners Apartment Complex

06. Venice Bitch

07. The Greatest

08. How To Disappear

09. Bartender

10. Happiness Is A Butterfly

11. Hope Is A Dangerous Thing...

Listening to Venice Bitch live, with all of LB, will probably be my favourite memory of all time as a Lana Stan. That era started so strong… shame it dragged for so long though. 
Big hug to you. 

yess how we didn't know it was 10 min long till seconds before the DJ played it and the interview right after where she announced the NFR title unghhhhh  god take me back I remember getting out of class right as the song started and being in line at 7/11 when she name dropped Norman and just being like D: wtffff who's Norman?

i don't think enough people recognize that Love Song reused lyrics from Is It Wrong

[Liz Taylor Blues 18,829]

The way the Rick songs are the best on this album......

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,411]

I think the title track is finally clicking with me ( again after like two and a half years)

It didn't sounded so beautiful since the release week as it did today for me  the intro & outro are stunningly beautiful. And I swear I heard today for the first time a flute & a saxophone in the intro

Such a beautiful song

how to disappear is her mazzy star alike lo-fi magnum opus 

and album version is better than the piano version, although i like both
