Is If U lie down with me from 2013 or 2020???

Both! I think Barrie’s involvement and general comments about working with Lana again suggest it was written in 2013, but it must have been heavily reworked or repurposed completely, as Drew Erickson also has credits on it, and Lana and Barrie allegedly had a session together earlier this year. So my guess is written in 2013, but produced in 2021 (the vocals are difficult to tell, they sound very 2013 but also very recent at times. I’m thinking the verses were recorded in 2021, but chorus was recorded in 2013, or something like that)!

If You Lie Down With Me sounds straight from 2013. literally same vocals. Its from Ultra era.

Thank you @IanadeIrey and @Matias182

Do any Nicole Dollanganger songs think the violins (?) in Thunder sound like the ones in Lacrymaria Olor?  Is there actually a name for this type of sound? It's been years since I've played the cello. It sounds like the violins are crying it's so beautiful

oh my god yes, the first time my bf and I listened (we're both ND fans), we both thought of lacrymaria olor. mostly because of the way it plays the same notes as her lead vocal in the chorus. but it was very satisfying to listen to.

The way she said that she tried to sound like a SAXOPHONE on Living Legend. Love it.

The way I decided yesterday to go to bed earlier than usual & she went live like 30 minutes later

I DON'T WANNA LIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEAH

I'm so, so, so happy she decided to choose Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend, and Cherry Blossom over Fine China, Yes to Heaven and I Can Fly. Can't stop thinking about how this was quite possibly the best decision she has ever made. The album would have been a straight up 6.7/10 instead of the 9.5/10 it is. 

[nothinggoldcanstay 396]

Wait. So I’m confused.

 

she said she wasn’t going to tour soon on the livestream? I think I heard that? Not sure. Someone fill me in. Missing that band and her live so badly. 
 

it’s literally church for me

This is accurate AF.

One of my friends is going through a breakup right now and I didn’t know what else to do to help her except for plug Lana’s new album to give her music to cry to LOL. I gave her a playlist consisting of 3 sections to help guide her through it - Blue Banisters, Violets for Roses, If You Lie Down With Me, and Wildflower Wildfire for when she wants to cry about it, Dealer & Black Bathing Suit for when she’s ready to be mad about it, and Beautiful & Sweet Carolina for when she’s ready to move beyond it. (Of course Sweet Carolina makes me sad and cry just bc of how I associate it with my own life, but it’s a happy positive song in spirit)

The writing on this album is truly perfect for guiding someone out of a rough time, through every step of the journey, beginning to end. It almost makes me wish I was sad right now so I could use this album as a guide path as I did with NFR, but I’m gratefully among the happiest times of my life. For now, I’ll be listening to this album & reminiscing of all that I’ve gone through and gained over these past 2 years as I pulled myself out of my own darkness x

I hate Folk-Lana to a god damn passion. I wish she would go back to proper production and leave the moaning over a piano era behind.

Fine China, Yes to Heaven & I Can Fly are straight up better than NOTG, LL & CB. I'm glad she didn’t waste them on this album though. The album is a 3/10 for me. Her second worst after COTCC.

I’m just not 14-16 anymore and don’t relate to her older albums like I used to. I like her evolution and think BB and NFR showcases her strongest singer songwriter capabilities.

 

ALSO Blue Banisters has dealer so instant #1 for me

Very much disagree, both on a lyrical and musical basis. Sorry that you aren't enjoying the folkier sound.
