    Cause you were so much closer to some cheap dream you chased
    And I was just a shadow that you learned to replace

    I'm trying to answer this but its going to have to be a very deep search, maybe for this weekend.
    The only things I'm thinking right now are:
    "Cruel World" intro to Cola, which she started playing 2014 even before Ultraviolence was released.

    Maybe less likely (?) But this intro to Body Electric always sounded very Serene Queen to me. Was SQ perhaps reworked from the UV sessions? SQ is very body-electric-coded, so it makes sense to me that some of it was developed right after, or even during the Paradise sessions.

    Something that always confused me about the UV era is that she was doing 2 very different sounds at the same time...
    One was rock and the other was more acoustic based...

    Guys I just watched this video of Lana doing Off To The Races as a live performance in a restaurant right before it was actually released. I started to scroll through some of the comments, and one person said that since she became famous, the media have scared her a lot and she’s lost the majority of her self assurance. Do y’all agree? And can you explain it to me, because I’m a new fan and I’d love to hear the real story from true fans like y’all rather than whatever nonsense outsiders have to say.

    I do think her stage fright has gotten worse, but I wouldn’t say it’s due to any one thing in particular!
     
    When she was just starting out she sang her songs very weirdly and with pride (think 2012 million dollar man) and she did a lot of shows with smaller crowds and sounded fantastic! I think the bigger her crowds get the more nervous she gets. For La to the moon she incorporated the dances into her set so she wouldn’t be on stage alone, and since then she’s added A LOT more dancers and background singers. Even this year at Coachella, you could tell she was nervous, but I don’t blame her! I’m pretty sure this year she’s performed in front of more people than she ever has, and I think that would make anyone nervous 
  7. Ultra Violet liked a post in a topic by Quincy in Donald Trump & JD Vance Win 2024 US Presidential Election   
    It’s the media bubble. While a small percentage of voters might be shocked, I think most don’t care. The average Trump voting American doesn’t follow politics that closely. If anything, they want Trump to shake things up and tear down the establishment, so they are probably neutral on or even like his policy proposals and nominees 
     
    It’s like the media making a huge deal about the “large number” of republicans supporting Harris in the election. In the end, it was a really small number. Probably smaller than the amount of republicans who voted for Clinton in 2016. Minority, but vocal.

    Does he mean a few of the songs that didn't make the album were reworked into interludes for the live shows?
    He doesn't mean there were interludes that didn't make the cut, right?
    I need to know all her show interludes now.

    Blake Lee has a LENGTHY interview and in one small part (30 minute mark) he speaks about his time working on Ultraviolence and his first time meeting Lana!
     
    Blake says he first met Lana and he was simply himself, no expectations. Byron helped him get the audition. 
    He says the First show they played together was secret and under an alias name in NYC.
     
    He says working with Lana is "spontaneous, electric, thrilling" and he remembered looking up Video Games for the first time and his mother overheard and they both fell in love with the sound of the song and the video. and he knew he wanted to be part of her band. 
     
    Blake says he is blown away with how fast she writes songs and it is unlike anyone else he has worked with. 
    He says he has no idea how many songs she has written BUT Ultraviolence was originally a double album (40 songs were written for Ultraviolence that he remembers and said they were all worthy of being on the album. He said a few of the interludes that didn't make the album have been worked into some of the live shows they do) 
     
    Blake says he respects her so much and calls her "the real deal" and admires her ethos of "not trying hard or pretending to be something, and just saying NO when you don't want to do something or if something does not feel right knowing to say no, and then eventually the right thing will come along "
    says it was Lana's idea to get Chriss Isaak to perform at the Hollywood Bowl, 
    Spoke about Sean Lennon and how magical it was

    his new album is a dreamy, cinematic, avant-garde album and quite mesmerizing.

    most times it makes me want to listen to the song less (if i didn’t already know the song) and at times it starts feeling background sound and when I listen to the trending part in a song it sticks out like a sore thumb

    I hate TikTok so much but I'm glad that it gave some popularity to her and some of her underrated songs and perhaps made the general public understand what an artistic genius she actually is and what a big impact she has on the music industry. 
     
    The most annoying thing about this are those new fans who spread misinformation though.

    I honestly believe that TikTok changed Lana's career. She's always been popular, she's had several #1 albums, but I think that the way TikTok has pushed her music has made her a staple artist in a sense. I feel like she used to get categorized more with Marina, Lorde, and other female indie artists. Now, I often see her grouped in with Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, all the big pop stars. It's actually kind of fascinating to see how much power sped-up 15 second clips of songs can have

    I think it’s interesting a lot of her unreleased music has become so popular on tiktok it’s kinda random lol. Before tiktok, it was more niche and only really known by fans. I don’t really care if her music becomes viral, but I hope the rise in popularity of some unreleased tracks pushes her to release a few   Some of the released tracks that got popular are super random too, I wouldn’t have expected some of them to go viral over others

    i don't understand the modern phenomena with using a clip of a song for a trend and BEATING the trend to absolute death... but if anyone was gonna get certified cult classic status pon di  unreleased catalogue it should definitely be lana
