Norman Fucking Rockwell - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[daphnedinkley 13,489]

Idk what it’d change it to but I kinda hate that the first song on the fucking album opens with the line “goddamn manchild, you fucked me so good that I almost said I love you.” As a whole NFR (the song) is fine enough but that line has made me cringe since she first teased it on insta. I’d also change TNBAR’s lyrics to the original lyrics from the older version

 

 

well it is Norman FUCKING Rockwell after all   but agreed on TNBAR ugh i find the new lyrics so awkward

[redsangrias 652]

i hear "lu lu lu lu lu lu lu, beautiful, blue" there aint no beautiful losers there 

 

Same! I don't hear "beautiful losers" at all

 

I hear "la la la la la la blue, beautiful blue"?

 

and she's saying "chyeah" in the background so it sounds like she's saying losers?

actually i do hear beautiful losers a bit, in that part that we were talking about "la la la la la la blue, beautiful, blue", instead of blue she says looooooo(sers). the 'sers' part is really buried behind the instrumental, you need to pay close attention to hear it but its definitely there

She played bits of the album for her baddie friends to see their reaction.

"[On this album], I would play them stuff and seeing how much they liked it made me feel really confident that it was good"

Thank God they came thru with taste, surprisingly

Anyway, 

 

Bird. World.

We really need to set up a poll to see how many people hear “losers, beautiful losers” or “beautiful” x3.... I used to hear it too but I suppose it’s so muffled under the instrumental it’s hard to tell.

I’m still sure it’s “losers” tho

Birdworld is a fucking awful title.

birdworld is such a bad idea for album title

like WTF?!

[bartenders 1,206]

bird world > norman fucking rockwell, any day!

 

both titles are a turn off but id prefer bird world over a name of a random artist from a century ago with "fucking" in the middle.

A few days ago while listening to MAC and then VB, I thought, wow, those songs really hit differently in September. Maybe I'm nostalgic because they came out in September last year, but I had never felt that before with any other artists or songs. It's kinda hard to explain but it's almost as if they were two different songs between the last day of August and the first day of September

 

When the album was first released and I was listening to it all the way through I heard MAC for the first time in weeks and started crying because of the nostalgia for last year too    I think one of the special things about Lana's music is how deeply you can connect to it. Some of my favourite songs from other artists are really special for me, but in a 'oh I used to this when I was sad' way, not a specific memory with a thousand emotions tied up into it that's triggered by hearing the song
