anyway i don’t have any more questions right now that are on topic for this mystery of 2013-early 2014 that so much has been unknown to us about for so long, thank you for coming in here and telling us so much 😭 your presence is actually very appreciated, please don’t feel pressured or anything to set up a whole AMA lmfao, it just feels very nice to be able to put the puzzle pieces together for this timeline

THEYRE VIEWING HIS PROFILE RN

absolutely terrified for the impending scat attack on this thread from that new ominous LanaBana user during BoZ’s first lanaboards visit 😭😭😭😭

i kind of can rest easier now though knowing that the other 3 songs out of the 13 Dan did do are just demos likely to the same par as the MPG demo which i just mentioned not liking very much. was bittersweet to say the least RIP Fine China “final”, YTH “final”, and ITTJ “final”

honeymouns you are stinky i’m coming for ur ass!!!!!

i’m so confused now because one of the guys in the band that recorded during the Dan sessions said they did 13 songs in 2 weeks, I thought that meant 1. Cruel World 2. Ultraviolence 3. Shades of Cool 4. Brooklyn Baby 5. West Coast 6. Sad Girl 7. Fucked My Way Up to the Top 8. The Other Woman 9. Florida Kilos 10. Money Power Glory Auerbach version 11. Fine China Auerbach version 12. Yes to Heaven Auerbach version 13. I Talk to Jesus Auerbach version does this mean there are 3 other Dan songs we don’t know about oh brother

WTF???????????

when i’m pushing 70 in the nursing home and see “Interscope Records announces 50th anniversary edition of Lana Del Rey’s cult classic 2014 album Ultraviolence” and just flatline then and there

i thought she was 100% going to drop 10 year anniversary editions of all her albums with the best of the leaked/unreleased material, especially considering the unreleased album she was planning never happened, but after we got nothing even for BTD 10 i’m scared it’s never gonna happen or is only gonna happen for the like 50 year anniversary editions like Joni Mitchell just did lmfaoooo

i am so scared Fine China, SYTH, and ITTJ Dan versions are gonna leak eventually and end up sounding like his awful Money Power Glory version 😭😭 in my head i’ve been worshipping them

Fine China DA Version will always be my #1 most anticipated leak but Pink Champagne might just have to be put in spot 2

although the fact that the song was originally called Pink Champagne makes a lot of sense for UV era considering it’s slang for molly lmfao, i wonder if the bridge was originally the chorus or something

it’s so crazy to me how LMLYLAW is so old, the lyrics scream 2019-2021 lana. which is probably why she brought it back lol, but that’s still just so surprising. i can’t imagine her writing “I come from a small town, how 'bout you? / I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave LA and I want you to come / Eighty miles north or south will do / I don't care where as long as you're with me” before she wrote like Shades of Cool and Sad Girl lol, unless the lyrics have changed a lot over the years as well

@BlackoutZone thank you for being so transparent and answering questions that have been a mystery to us for so long. i just wanted to ask if there is a recorded version of Cruel World out there from that Electric Lady session it was written during?

The legend is here

depending on its context in the song i’m still upset she retitled it A&W 😭😭

To this day I still think ‘Music to Watch Boys To’ would’ve been an ICONIC album title, ‘Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have, but I have it’ would’ve ended careers if it was the NFR title, and BB should’ve been called ‘Wildflower Wildfire’. i wonder what other title track-worthy songs on the Ocean Blvd track list we’ll get

checking iTunes every day waiting for the track lengths to show up

track list coming soon confirmed

it’s really interesting noticing the direct parallels between what she said in interviews almost a decade ago and lyrics now. like, “I definitely presented myself well, and that’s all I’ve ever done,” she says, walking me downstairs. “And that’s never really gotten me anywhere. I’m just uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with you.” from that 2014 Rolling Stone profile, and then Swisher Sweet magazines, promise you it's not ‘cause of you that I'm mean, it's my afterthoughts And what I never said, why there's a price on my head It's nothing to do with them, it's my karmic lineage in Black Bathing Suit. it actually kinda sounds like that lyric is specifically referencing the Rolling Stone interview

it’s her Rolling Stone cover story from 2014. the first thing the journalist asked her was “on a scale of 1-10, how much do you wish you were dead right now” https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/lana-del-rey-the-saddest-baddest-diva-in-rock-179412/amp/

i think a lot of it is that the negative attention she received wasn’t just tabloid stuff; it was unfair and irrelevant and not about the music at all. it was attacking her own sense of self. going back and re-reading things journalists would ask her early in her career today, it’s fucking gross and it was never about the music, and other artists, especially men, weren’t asked the kinds of questions she was. i didn’t think much of it when i was younger but it’s so weird and disgusting looking back on, Lana has every right to be pissed about how they treated her. nobody ever asks for that, no matter what kind of career they want

got 13 Beaches oh brother

oh brother… i’m seated

not saying every single song on the album will be a piano song but considering every song we know about so far is (Title track, Candy Necklace, Fingertips, SYML interpolation song, RIOPY song; nearly half of the album already when you don’t count the interludes) i have a feeling a lot of fans are gonna be disappointed regardless if their expectation is the opposite of that lol, I kinda think American Whore is gonna channel Black Bathing Suit. piano songs don’t have to be boring
