Norman Fucking Rockwell - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[Venice]

They've just uploaded it to Youtube.

I like Break Up with your Gf but I'm gonna pretend this performance of Doin Time never happened.

 

Lmao I was like what is everyone going on about but damn, that mixing for DT needs help. At 1:03 even the drummer looks a bit wacked out from it. 

 

Anyway, Break Up With Your Gf was adorable, and I live for her yeah yeah. 

[Trash Magic]

Not an instagram livestream literally being better than a professionally recorded performance

 

 

This was excellent so it's okay

[love deluxe]

GOD i need a job so i can get this nfr vinyl my collection is so lonely without her

if someone wants to be a dear  haha im totally half joking 

[FallingCherry]

She seemed so angry in the Doin' Time performance that she gave all she had and went higher and hit an easy A5 instead of the normal G5 at the end of the bridge lol

I.......actually really enjoy BUWYGIB. Sounds like an old Lana/Lizzy unreleased.

[Venice]

Also I wanna add in that I can't believe some of you are genuinely bothered that she covered Ari's song "cause Lana is pushing 40" lmao not only did she just turn 34 this summer but jeez, let her live her life bruh. Just cause everyone gets older it doesn't mean you're no longer able to connect with the music of someone who is younger, or can't enjoy the same things anymore. Music is music.

I wish this song had been on NFR. The ‘Carefree Lana’ persona is the best Lana to me.

Does that apply for the deceased as well?

I can’t hear her voice. And I like the BUWYG cover, but omg does someone hate her at BBC? Or maybe someone on her team? Does it sound like this live in the room because idk how this got a pass. I remember when the band drowned out her voice, she used to scold the sound engineers on stage, like especially back in 2014. Idg why she lets it slide since 2017.

Finally!! I've been waiting to post specific stories just for that

[gatadelrey]

I raise some monarch butterflies and I named one of them Norman a few weeks ago. He hatched today and I played him Happiness is a Butterfly before he flew away.

[triangles19]

I liked this Doin Dime performance, I admit the sound mixing is bad but I like the way they play the song. But I don't like Break Up With Your Girlfriend, it sounds too clean to me

[Macintosh Manhattan]

Ngl that made me extremely angry. It’s plain disrespectful that she couldn’t be arsed to learn a song that’s lyrics repeats itself a lot and is very simple to learn/remember.

 

Jesus Christ Lana where’s the professionalism?

100%

I was on a walk the other afternoon back to my apartment from class, and five of the most beautiful butterflies I've ever seen landed on me while I was playing that song. It's easily my favorite song on the album because of a special moment like that I have attached to it now.
