[kitsunegari101 1,463]

for some reason out with a bang really reminds me of slow like honey by fiona apple?? can't explain it

[Kandidate 247]

 

[Thunder Revenant 20,943]

Norman F*king Rockwell (the song) and Fiona Apple's "Love Ridden" have quite a lot of sonical parallels and they also kind of represent two sides of the same coin thematically.
On NFR Lana is settling for someone she may not actually really feel that much for, but she seemingly talks herself into it. On Love Ridden Fiona lets go of a relationship that has lost its thrill, she talks herself out of holding on to someone.

 

This one might seem a bit wird, but I often associate 13 Beaches with the Gorillaz song "Fireflies". The track could have been so easily sung by Lana, especially the lines "Cause all my fear's invaded, all the crazies put on busses and sent up here to find you- living on the limits" feels so close to 13 Beaches' pre-chorus. The atmosphere, and the thematic of someone feeling like they fade away really flows similarly in those two tracks.

Gonna include some Lana and Taylor lyrical parallels

 

Tomorrow Never Came

 

I waited for you
In the spot you said to wait
In the city, on the park bench
In the middle of the pouring rain

 

Coney Island

 

And I'm sitting on a bench in Coney Island
Wondering where did my baby go?
The fast times, the bright lights, the merry go
Sorry for not making you my centerfold

 

--

 

California

 

I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter
You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better
I wanted to reach out, but I never said a thing

 

Closure

 

Yes, I got your letter

Yes, I'm doing better

It cut deep to know ya, right to the bone

 

--

 

Happiness is a butterfly

 

I said, "Don't be a jerk, don't call me a taxi"
Sitting in your sweatshirt, crying in the backseat

 

Illicit Affairs 

 

And you wanna scream
Don't call me "kid"
Don't call me "baby"
Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me

 

--

 

Groupie Love

 

You're in the bar, playing guitar
I'm trying not to let the crowd next to me
It's so hard sometimes with a star
When you have to share him with everybody

 

Superstar

 

You played in bars, you play guitar
I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
