Just wondering, would anyone mind making an "official name" column? Only because it took me this long to find out I Don't Wanna Go is actually named Tonight and earlier on with Ooh Baby being Are You Ready?

The desperate "Ray, Ray, Ray, raise me up!" in the final chorus of Raise Me Up.

That's what I'm afraid of the most because, to me, the production in AKALG is perfect in the way it is now and so versatile compared to BTD. It's my favorite Lana album, so of course, I'd love it to receive the attention it deserves, but not at the cost of ruining my favorite songs.

Personally, I started listening to her late 2011, but I realized (when AKALG leaked) that I had seen her name before cus Gramma was featured on Amazon as the free track of the week or day or something like that. But I never gave it a listen, so technically, still late 2011.

I took the time to read the entire original post and I think I got the gist of the imagery of each boyfriend in a song, so I've been speculating about AKA Lizzy Grant, because at the moment, it's my favorite Lana album, and I also think it's the most telling. I'm gonna try to categorize each song with a man previously in her life and if my little bits of evidence are wrong, please try to help so I can better understand it!

I feel like this song is kind of like the theme of Brite Lites. It's Lana wanting a bit of the spotlight as well. Add in the her preference to older men, she now seems desperate to have her fame, which I guess includes making her boyfriend at the time/whoever can make her famous her "daddy". Ex: "He didn't know he'd have this much fun." "Lights, camera, action. You know I can't make it on my own." the desperate "Put me in a movie."

Four way tie between Gramma, Brite Lites, Back to tha Basics, and Never Let Me Go.

As much as I love Yayo (it's one of the first I've heard from her), my favs would definitely have to be: Mermaid Motel Jump Kill Kill Brite Lites/Oh Say Can You See Kill Kill/Raise Me Up in that order!

I REALLY didn't like the Paradise version. But I've really grown to it! The original Yayo will be one of my favorite because it was one of the first songs I've ever heard from her, but I truly think the Paradise edition one is just as good.

Sorry, I didn't really think about that! But I'll be completely honest and say that I'd actually pay for the CD if it was actually released.. Idk what happened to the rerelease, but that's another discussion for another thread, I guess.

Does this website only do vinyls? Using the fanmade/speculated real back cover and a release cover I found (it's virtually the same thing as the original), I'd really love to have AKA Lizzy Grant in physical CD form.

Can anyone explain to me what exactly Brite Lites is about? EDIT: If anyone would be willing to, the entire AKA Lizzy Grant album. It's too interesting. I know what some songs are about, but I like another's opinion/beliefs.

Me, tbh. It was much better live, like at the Hackney concert with the strings and ghostly vocals.

It's really not the same though.

I can't say I love it more than the original, but I absolutely love the new Yayo. The piano, the burlesque/jazzy vocals. The only thing missing to make it perfect is the "lined with yellow lights on a dark night (niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight)".
