In your car in your car in the backseat

I'm your prisoner

We go fast wo go so fast

Shoot this thug

 

Fear fun fear love

Fresh out of hand-cuffs forever

 

Yeah you just a cop it's just what you do

My hands in hand-cuffs as you beating me blueee

 

And I'm areeeeeested

Don't run I just need a warning shot

I'm faaacing the greatest

The greatest cop of them all

 

Nightmare. Literally a nightmare.

 

 

Sticks met me down at the cop station

cuts on his face cause he caused an altercation

The power went all to his head

 

Who you been beating up baby?

Abusing your authority lately?

Picking on guys, they got their rights

but you don't care

you just pretend not to hear

and incite hatred and fear

 

And this is how to disappear

I don't know how the bich does it... but once again, her latest album resonates so fucking much with what I'm living and been through the last year. 
Cinnamon Girl was how I was feeling last year, with my BF: I love you but be careful with me, I've been hurt. 
How to Disappear is the perfect «Sunday blues» song.
I'm not super into my work since September and when The Greatest come on, I when she sings «I miss dancing with you the most of all... Guess that I'm burned out after all»:  :defeated:  :defeated:  :defeated: 
And Fuck It, I love You summarizes how I would like my life to be, to see everything very brightly but it's not possible. And Bartender,  a «Swan Song 2.0» with the piano like a fall rain  :defeated:  :defeated:  :defeated: 
I fucking luv ha

It would be a huge cop-out for a live album of past songs to win AOTY but I wouldn't be mad because it would compensate for BEYONCÉ and Lemonade losing AOTY when they were clearly the albums of the respective years. For Lana to even be nominated would be huge. It is just indisputable that NFR should be universally considered one of the albums of the year it's just whether or not they will recognise her.

I can definitely hear the similarities here! Also find it interesting that the song sampled is called “Wild Heart” which is also the name of the Stevie Nicks album I find to have a similar vibe as NFR. Freaky...

Did we ever discuss the talking that was put at the end of Hope is a dangerous thing album version?

Like...what is the point of it being there?

Does it add anything to the message of the song?

I find it random.

I always assumed it was part of the original take and most likely Jack and Lana thought it was a nice closing thought for the album.

Side note but has anyone noticed Jack talking is a lot louder on the UO vinyl? I always have to turn it up high on the standard vinyl if I wanna hear it and I never have to turn it up at all on the UO one. I usually don’t even listen to it on the standard, too much effort.

I used to listen to Lana pretty much every day.  But my apathy for this new record unfortunately has given me apathy for her in general.  Whenever I listen to the older stuff, I still like it, but now I only listen to her maybe once a week.  Really hoping I dig her next album, coz Honeymoon was the last record I really loved, and after L4L and NFR, I don't think my fandom could take another let down.

Completely and utterly correct! NFR is her second worst album behind LFL!! :flutter:
