literally the best song in existence

Β 

I cannot get over how Dan changed that song, the radio edit was really nice and chill, but that version? Transcending.Β Β  :legend:

I think she’s kinda lost her spark tbh. Her other albums are so unique and powerful. No one but Lana Del Rey could make an album like Ultraviolence, for example.

Β 

Meanwhile NFR was just so plain, generic. Tbh I find it boring. I understand she’s matured and it would ridiculous to expect her to just do one thing her whole career. She was a troubled young woman during her early career and her music reflected that, now she’s calmed down a lot, and the music reflects that too.

Β 

BUT that doesn’t mean you can never make an exciting song again, Lana. The music used to literally give people goosebumps, it was so raw and lush and out there. Now it just sounds filler on an album made by any other alternative/country artist.

Β 

hopefully her β€œI just want one piano and ukele to make this entire album” phase is over and she can go back to being a musical beast again.

In what world NFR! is generic

I feel like some people confuse maturity, or lyrical maturity, with watering down content and just more generic/tame lyrics. There were cringy lyrics on all her albums, 'NFR!' was not exception to that, but 'NFR!' did lack that spark or oomph. Just kinda plain or beige.

yeah I mean production wise, NFR was missing the heat that her other works provided.

"Swan Song.Β It’s on my album Honeymoon. It’s the antithesis of hopefulness. It’s about trying to find beauty in giving up. If I had my way, I would continue to persist in all areas of my life, but it can be quite challenging because I can be too trusting too soon."

(also Ivanka needs to stop with the green contacts, she looks like one of the lizard people--i'm sure she could afford higher quality contacts)

Hey, i don't know if you've already talked about this around the time Ultraviolence came out. I didn't know about this website yet. I've been listening to The Doors last couple of weeks (knew them by name but never listened), absolutely love them, and been learning a lot about who Jim Morrison was. So, as i was learning about him, Lana kept coming to my mind. I know he is one of her biggest influences, but i'm starting to think he is THE influence. I know and listen to Lana since 2012, and i know she writes a little autobiographically and a little fiction. And i've always, ALWAYS wonder who tf was the one she sings about. When Ultraviolence, the song, came out, i was all like MAN WHO THE FUCK IS JIM. Just drop a surname or whatever. And i know there is a theory about this song being about booze and addiction. But i really think she is fantasizing with Morrison. Or maybe being in Pam's skin and talking about their story. Or maybe about both- Jim and alcohol. Jim was an alcoholic too. But then Freak. I think she chose Father John Misty because he looks just like Jim. So FJM plays Jim in Freak's video. And i think Jim is there aaaall the time, present in her work. I don't know where else he could be. Maybe Heroin. And maybe a lot of the times she sings about love, he is there, even a little. So, since i discovered all of this i feel like i closed something. This all made sense to me. I mean, maybe she doesn't sing about him anymore, but at some point -and maybe in her darkest times- i think he was really a big impossible love of hers, a comfort, and her platonic. And maybe she searched for him in real life too, while dreaming about him in her work. Idk just a theory.

I think that I've read somewhere that in the Ultraviolence video she was portraying Pamela, but can't truly remind where I did... Anyway, yes, the lyrics and the narrative behind that song -and many more of them- could easily relate to Morrison's profile. Nevertheless, I think she's gone through violent and abusive relationships herself, maybe that's why she has shown herself to be so connected to what Jim Morrison represented..

I can't believe how many of you don't like NFR... it's literally her best work lmaoΒ 

Β 

like Ultraviolence was a mood in 2014 when you were 19 and though doing cocaine with a toxic white man was true loveΒ

I would LOVEEE for Lana to cover this track. It’s so heart wrenching and powerful I could hear her voice at this moment singing the lyrics. Also, can we acknowledge Wait For Life as her most underrated track? It evokes so many emotions for me personally and I would enjoy it to be my funeral song.

Β 

You know Frusciante's cover of this (it's a Buckley's song, anyway)? Have always thought that Lana covering the song would be a dream.

i'm excited but she needs to stop talking so much in her songs over boring instrumentations and whiny ad libs and harmonies in every (other) song or else she'll end up making "me i am mariah.. the elusive chanteuse (explanation video) New Album 5/27" on album lengthΒ
