Norman Fucking Rockwell - Post-Release Discussion Thread + Poll

[IanadeIrey 61,924]

Just thought I'd share the tracklist I made that includes all 14 tracks of both Violet and NFR! I kept NFR's original tracklist in order as I felt it flowed better with each poem as an interlude between each song. Each poem I feel at least generally matches a song on NFR all based on mood and tone, if not perfectly. Each poem prefaces its sister song.

Hope you enjoy if you use! <3

Bumped in to this searching for some clips from the poetry book.Well done!!!

 

 

 

Loved that Taylor Swift is there. She's going to be the one going on stage at the next Grammy's for folklore, for sure.

it’s boring that’s what it is

[Nobody 21,470]

Apparently this is from the Cali video

my eclipse era omg

This looks like it was filmed with by Chuck in early 2018 for the other NFR videos.

She's wearing the same white windbreaker in some scenes in the Venice Bitch video and some of the scenes during the Bartender portion of the triple music video.

[GeminiLanaFan 48,880]

If the video is a reharsh of the MAC and VB videos, which were already reharshes of the triple MV, I don’t want to see it.

[Ebola 2,334]

yes, it was filmed by chuck and is (apparently) incredibly boring. i haven’t seen it myself but it’s really just her sitting under a tree and lip syncing.

omg where did u get this? well, i thought it was more interesting than that

[Dark Angel 201,167]

i really do raise my own expectations sometimes because i imagined the california video to be similar to her old homemade videos (ex. video games, carmen, million dollar man demo, etc.) or maybe something like the honeymoon video of her frolicking around in something pretty but i guess not. 

 

however, lana and chuck probably made it for fun while filming other videos, so it probably was never meant to be anything extravagent.

i also hoped it to be more of that type of video, i miss those.

[IanadeIrey 61,924]

I loved Chuck's videos for the songs on NFR so I hope someday we see this! They really captured Lana's essence in its rawest form and their simplicity is quite beautiful.

California is one of my favourite songs of all time so it would be cool to have a visual for it!

Doin' Time nominated for best alt at the VMAs

[Rorman Nockwell 56,510]

No but I've been told it's literally her just sitting under a tree singing it

Is Hope is a keyboard smash starting to go viral on TikTok?

track that grew on me the most: how to disappear

track that grew on me the least: title track probably because i listened it to death

 

doin time is a good song but i wish she put LFA or something that fit the vibe more on the album instead

Same California is my fave NFR song and I also enjoy Chuck's videos no matter how simple they are. I definitely want to see it!
