No and I'm pretty sure none of those NFR/COCC era "demos" that leaked in a past few days are real at all

Don't know much about that song sadly

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.

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

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

California and Crazy for You are from the very first sessions for HM in 2014, IIDY is however from 2015 already I believe

Well yes, Y&B, Dark Paradise, even SYTH among some that got beyond 100. But as you noted, some of those are nearly identical, Rick and his engineers are just very strict and every single slightest change gets noted as new mix. Not all of them even have to be exported.
 

Yes, you are right, sorry!

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

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..
 

Seems like that's a wrap for now! I think I said everything essential that I wanted to say. Hope this brought some closure to those who were seeking it or that at least you learnt something interesting. It was fun and maybe one day I will come back to talk more, maybe in upcoming years more interesting stuff to talk about will surface as well. Thanks for joining and being all nice and respectful. And remember, Lana's word is always above me or any of us, she is the artist and the visionary and none of us other than her will fully know the truth about all those mysterious things.
 
Pre-order and stream the amazing Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, out March 10th!

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

Yeah this surely must be wrong, never heard about it

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

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
 
 

Yeah I have countless sheets of notes that I compiled through the years to have it all somewhat organized

Agree personally, but Lana's artistic integrity should be above all

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

Yes, California, whoever leaked that - fucked up

Some general answers from past pages:
 
Pretty sure that technically nothing is stopping them from releasing Is This Happiness and Flipside on streaming anymore, next time Lana goes on a longer live chat, ask her for that. Speaking of which though, Flipside was never really considered for UV. It was recorded as a rough one day demo at Nightbird and they pretty much just decided to mix it and release like that. Good for us, cool song that would have been lost.

Rock Candy Sweet seems to just be a phrase Lana liked, it seems to be originally stemming from a song called Loved You Then Loved You Now she did with Jack, but later also used it in Watercolor Eyes, but one is not a rework of another or anything. Watercolor Eyes is a song that can be very much considered a BB outtake though, but I'm 99% sure it wasn't made yet when Lana announced the former Rock Candy Sweet album.
 

Is it true that the entire chorus of Your Girl is just sung by Patrick Warren and edited to sound like Lana, cause his acapella was incomplete?

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

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

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
