2012 lolita perfomance with just a violin, such a good performance. i'd love to have a studio version of this!

I love how simple it is, the violin is beautiful

@daphnedinkley @takeitdoen

These are all fantastic, I miss the live strings so much

I couldn't find a thread for the times that Lana performed versions of her songs that are significantly different from the album versions ("rock" versions, acoustic versions, etc.), so I figured I'd start my own. I don't have much yet bc there are performances I know of, like the "rock" versions of Body Electric and Off to the Races, but I don't know the dates/locations. Here's what I have so far, but it'd be great if anybody wants to help out and try to make a more complete list!

Ride

Born to Die

Cruel World

Kill Kill

Honeymoon

Love

Norman fucking Rockwell

What date was the Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show with Lana recorded?

Could anyone tell me where the Sirens artwork originated from? Did it leak alongside the album? Also, I've seen a few variations on filter/typeface, which is the 'original'?

I know someone else already answered that it's fan made, but the pic they used came from the ford models photoshoot from like 2004 or 2005

I wanna listen to it so bad, but I had to stop halfway through chapter 2 bc it gave me anxiety

Hopefully later I'll be able to finish it

Does anyone know the first time lana performed YCBTB and also the "fuck you hard" version of BTD?

Also is there a thread for live versions of songs that are significantly different from the album versions (like the "rock" ones, stripped back ones, etc.)?

I'm reorganizing my lana collection and trying to figure out all the writing/production credits, so does anyone know which versions of Y&B these are in the gatsby movie credits?

Just boosting

Here's all the Lana playlists I listen to, and I made artwork too if anyone's interested

Just put "spoiler" and "/spoiler" in square brackets before and after whatever you want to post.

Thanks! I never knew how people did that

Can you put spoilers on mobile? Bc I have a bunch of playlists I wanna post but I don't want them taking up too much space

The Killing Moon by Echo & The Bunnymen

Under the Milky Way by The Church

Mother by Danzig

 

I'd literally cry

BTD > UV > P = HM >> LFL > LDR >>>>> NFR

Born To Die -5/5

BTD will probably always be my favorite album of all time, the production is so cinematic and the lyrics are so dramatic, and it's always made me feel things like no other album can.

Ultraviolence -5/5

I love UV with my whole heart, and it's a very close second to BTD. This album is glorious and I doubt there will be an album that compares.

Paradise/Honeymoon -5/5

Sometimes I like Paradise more, and sometimes I like HM more, but the production on both is just so lush, I cant help but to adore both, and I always come back to them

Lust for Life - 4/5

Half the album is great and half is just hugely disappointing. I don't actively dislike any songs on the album, but it had so much unused potential, and what we got doesn't compare to the demos and the original vision lana had in mind when creating LFL

Lana Del Ray - 4/5

LDR is a good album. I absolutely love some of its songs, but David Kahne's weird production quirks make it hard to enjoy as a whole as much as her other albums

Norman Fucking Rockwell - 2 or 3/5

This album is boring as hell. There are definitely good, maybe even great, songs, but overall, the production and lyricism are the most safe, boring, and just least "Lana" of all her albums. I'm hoping this changes in the future. Side note- I've never disliked a song Lana has released until Bartender

derailing from the obvious hot topic but the new unreleased leaks we've been getting are subpar compared to the OG leaks. i dont think lana's post-BTD unreleased are all that good except for BAR demo

I agree. It’s like you can almost tell she was losing a bit of inspiration after BTD (lyrically).

I think the the 2013-2014 leaks were still really good lyrically, and the Honeymoon/Lust for Life eras were pretty good too, but NFR just had such lackluster lyrics. Idk if she actually lost inspiration or if she was just trying to fit into the mainstream and appeal to critics or if her new lyrical direction is just what happens to inspire her now. Her voice is gorgeous, which helps, but I really do hope NFR isn't indicative of her new musical direction. I do love a few of the songs on the songs on the album, but I'm hoping the next album has more cinematic production and more dramatic lyricism (but either way I'll buy and listen lol).

Does anyone know who made this and if there are more like it for the other albums? I want to use them to make demo/instrumental cover art

Does anyone know where I can find scans of the NFR booklet?

Edit: Nevermind got it

Edit 2: I'm actually reorganizing my lana collection and trying to figure out all the writing/production credits, so does anyone know which versions of Y&B these are in the gatsby movie credits?

Yep, thought so! But I more-so meant what NK shoot? She doesn’t wear this color nails in most of the shoots she did with him in 2014

I'm pretty sure it's just an edit bc the only places I've ever seen it are those uncredited tumblr/pinterest type posts

It looks just like the real thing bc I think it's a psf rip from lmdr I didn't made it! I don't know where you can download it but it's called Philfont!

Thanks, found it!

Hey so I've been working on my concept for the Lana Font Directory I've had in mind for over a year. It is largely inspired by Coyote's masterpost design.

 

Basically the concept is a directory of all the fonts used for each era. It features the fonts in ideally an editable fashion, with a few details. I'm still working on the design but if it works I'd like to find a dev for it.

 

I love the BTD font, it looks just like the real thing! Is it gonna be downloadable when it's finished? I'm tired of using Rainbow and having all my album art look a little off lol

Noooo. She speaks about him kindly and describes him as talented and very funny guy.

They hung out after NFR dropped for lives etc. They recorded LFA together and she dragged his ass to the studio.

Nah. She clearly adores him

It wasn't really a serious theory, I'm just not really a fan of the album or his production so I thought it'd be kinda funny if it was about him, but yeah they really do seem to get along great and it's cute seeing them spend time together outside of the studio

My theory is that NFR is about Jack lol, she started working with him bc he's supposed to be this great musical genius or something, and when they met she realized he's a lil pretentious and thinks he's the shit and she was like "I'm gonna have this guy produce a record that he doesn't even know is about him." Her mind

In OTTR I thought she said "you never looked so beautiful as you do in that moment" and was disappointed when I realized it was "as you do now, my man" bc I like the misheard one better

Also I still can only hear "makes me a sad sad girl" so that's what I sing instead of "makes me so sad, girl"

Does anyone know of a good remix or edit of Hollywood's Dead? I like the vocals but the instrumental is so cheesy

Edit: Also Noir bc I like the vocals on that one too but I'm not a fan of the laptop demo sound
