Hi everyone, thank you so much for collective effort to get my account back! Before I answer anything, I just wanted to say that at the end of the day I am not Lana, I am not in her head, I was not in the room when these songs were made and there is always a tiny bit of chance that I am wrong. Everything I'm revealing is based on (sometimes years of researching) things I listened to, read about or heard from people who worked with her directly. I do find timeliness, demos, drafts etc very fascinating as it gives you some additional cool insight of what was happening behind the scenes so I'll happily join the discussions here

Honeymouns remains the reason you got all the Dan UV demos so let's not do too much on him

I'm gonna do a whole post on Yes To Heaven, Fine China and Your Girl, but it's gonna be an essay, cause there is a lot to say, especially in relation to the Eclipse leaked files... I need some time to put it together It was the pre-chorus

Whatever that means What I'll say tho... if you are to manifest some amazing outtakes. Manifest LFL outtakes.

I am preparing a massive post on YTH / FC / YG that I hope I will finish tomorrow

I don't know Also any claims that Lana made 100+ songs for any album are just wrong

Someone asked about The xx and I forgot to reply, that was a very good question! Jamie xx did a demo of Old Money as well as Black Beauty in 2013. Sadly it doesn't seem like they worked on original material together

What I see here and what seems to make sense by what existed in January 2013 already: 1. Old Money? 2. Black Beauty? 3. ?? 4. Lake Placid 5. Summertime 6. Melancholia 7. Jesus (ITTJ) 8. Pink Champagne - this is the original name of Let Me Love You Like A Woman demo 9. Elvis 10. Earthquakes and further I can't read, but it Guns n Roses, Money Power Glory and maybe Cherry Blossom I'd expect to be on such draft from that time as well

BZ AMA is a bit of a stretch as there are some questions that I just don't want to answer and I hope you will respect that

Wow there is so much disappointed coming for some of you it seems, Dan Auerbach never produced SYTH or Fine China

Lana did record Ave Maria, it was considered for UV even "after Tropico" Talking like an Answering Machine is a bit of a mystery to me as well, but there seems to be a higher chance that it's real rather than that it's not Melancholia uses seemingly the same instrumentation as UV and some parts of the melody, but outside of that it's pretty much a very different song, very rough though. It's just an unreleased song, all I'll say

I don't know if it's ok to just continue it all in this thread, but I guess everything related to unreleased material from UV does count as "Scrapped 3rd album" discussion. Starting with the name, I personally never heard of "Trans-Am" being referenced, whether as a song title, album title or some project. Maybe it was a code name Lana used, maybe something insignificant. I did however see Tropico being used interchangeably as LP2/Second studio album form late 2012. I suspect that Lana had a visual idea for it from the start and already was in talks to make a movie for it in early stages. Maybe it went as far as her signing some agreements or label scheduling some timelines that had to be met in order to make the visual happen, but when it approached Lana might have decided she is not ready with the record at all and needs more time to finish it so they made ultimate decision to use the visual for Paradise edition instead. Since the name Tropico was more attached to the visual theme than the album she was making, she changed the album name and kept Tropico for the movie

I'm not sure about YTH, but Fine China went as far as being mixed by Rob Orton and it's a Rick Nowels version. Same with Your Girl But as soon as she came back to work on Honeymoon the first person to touch SYTH again was Rick so you could say the last version of YTH for UV was Rick's (per leaked files though - James Ford version is the latest, from April 2014 I think) What you are missing is the fact that Dan did demos of Pretty When You Cry and Guns & Roses as well, they just never leaked

There was a period of time when Lana and Barrie would just... travel, everywhere. I think they would visit random studios writing/recording songs there with whoever was available. It's hard to pinpoint what was made by who beyond them 2. I think they would sometimes just leave the songs in the studio even. UFB was never planned to be included on UV, they just made it for fun, they were in love. Whoever was the working engineer in the NightBird studios the day they recorded it is probably the song's only co-producer.

It was properly reworked yes

Yes and it's not only that, it's kinda a pattern throughout her career! Each time Lana wrote a song with Rick, but it was released with/alongside someone else's production, but she still liked the demo, she would finish it with Rick and release as radio mix. Radio mixes of Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness are both finished Rick demos

Ugh well yes there are a few, but some would literally collapse on the thought that she reworked that so I'd rather you just be surprised if something leaks one day

This is low key my most wanted Lana thing of all time and it might be lost

vote BOZ for 2023 lipster of the year

He is a bit confused yeah dd, 129 tracks refers to amount of audio tracks in the song's session as someone explained. But while we are on the topic - LFL, the song, has 323 mixes which i think is the most for any Lana song ever..

I know nothing about this, same with that St. Petersburg soundcheck song. I tried to find out what this was all about, but never reached anything. What I did learn however is that Lana happens to improvise random things during soundchecks as a form of warm up and I think these might be those cases. But I really don't know

The Industrial Revolution had a number of significant impacts, both positive and negative. On the positive side, it led to a significant increase in economic productivity and wealth, as well as a corresponding increase in population and life expectancy. It also facilitated the spread of ideas and information, as well as the development of new technologies and industries. On the other hand, the Industrial Revolution had a number of negative impacts on society and the environment. It led to the exploitation of labor, particularly of children and women, and contributed to the rise of pollution and other environmental degradation. It also led to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few, and contributed to social and economic inequality. That's how I see it

Whoever was mixing LFL being told they needed to start working on mix 212

BoZ, every time he will be on LB:

Yeah I Don't Wanna Go / Tonight / Black Leather Moonlight (as annoying as it sounds, all 3 titles are equally correct, you can use whichever one you want) that leaked is from mid 2012, then it was rewritten and re-produced as Lake Placid for Tropico/UV ITTJ is another essay-type post I don't have energy for right now. Not gonna lie I hate that song, never put full effort to piece its timeline together The simple answer to this is that Rob Orton, UV's mixing engineer, was still mixing the tracks at the time of WC release and they just attached earlier mix to it. Pretty sure it was even released on streaming later as Rob Orton mix or something

LMFAOOOO Honeymouns running to the border rn

Thoughts on the industrial revolution? @BlackoutZone

no cause this is history for the lipsters like this is so serious and big for all of us

Now this doesn't sound like Lana He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love is correct

323 mixes only for the final version to suck ass

honeymouns expose today

I don't recall Get High, but yes the other 2 are definitely real OG titles of the songs so Get High might as well be

lanapedia editors will have a lot of work to do.

Leak Lust For Life Mix 218 (snippet) !

this is lana del rey's universe and we're just living in it

Wait, a cinematic/psychedelic production?

You are almost right, but please wait for tomorrow I will explain it more as well

22) LFL OUTTAKES "would you be able to spill about witchy lfl outtakes?" BOZ: What I'll say tho... if you are to manifestsome amazing outtakes. Manifest LFL outtakes. I’ve BEEN saying this so let’s get our asses up and work we need more lfl outtakes

This is exactly how it reached those 300+ numbers But yeah that song went through a LOT and we have like.. close to none of it

Sobbing at how we ended up being Snow White tryna process these insane backstories all at once Boz did not have to spill this hard

I need pink champagne/LMLY demo so bad I don’t see how a cinematic psychedelic song becomes THAT

can i have dark city pls pls pls

While on the topic of LFL, is there anything to be said about Roses Bloom For You? Some people were saying it was just an intro, suggesting it wasn’t a full-length song. I believe she also said at some point it may find a home somewhere else, but that has yet to happen. Either way, that will always be my most “thirsted” over Lana song. The day that surfaces either from a proper release or a leak will feel like every holiday combined into one for me xx

Working harder than the marines also, ya the soundcheck songs to me always seemed like just random improvisation given that her and her band don’t know how to do half the songs on the set list live and just wing it 99% of the time anyways it seems pretty random for them to fully practice unreleased songs

Pretty sure that what she said was "I have an idea for this record called Music to Watch Boys to", but I don't know in what context she meant that, I would say it was about the song, but please note that first actual recording sessions for HM with Rick started in September 2014, so everything prior was just ideas

This thread feels like early (or late) Christmas

I honestly wish there were a whole ass documentary on how this album came to be.

Cut the cameras. Dead ass.

NOT OG LMLYLAW having CINEMATIC PSYCHEDELIC PRODUCTION this is PUNISHMENT from the GODS
