    A Star for Nick leaked in 96 and then in 128, and then all of Sirens leaked in 128, and then later Young like me/From the end EPs leaked in 192, so for the songs that are on the album and the EPs exist in both 128 & 192 and the songs on just Sirens are just 128

    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!

    It's not a question of 'controversy' and/or LDR writing about controversial subjects for the sake of controversy, it's a question of approaching the topic, whatever it is, in an interesting, dramatic and dynamic way.

    She does this on 'The Greatest,' I agree, on NFR, but not, for me, on most of the rest of NFR, with the exception of 'Hope.' There's a lot of uninspired writing and some lazy retreads on NFR, and it's usually not a good sign when an artist starts repeating her- or himself. Tori Amos, for example, started turning out retreads of her own songs between her six and seventh album ('Carbon' and 'Barons of Suburbia,' for example, or 'Gold Dust' and 'Toast'), and Joni Mitchell's 'Don Juan's Reckless Daughter' is a rewrite of her own 'Coyote' from the previous album; the music for both is almost identical. 
     
    For me, there's barely a good LDR song that does not have some kind dynamic tension inherent in it*, even if the song is still performed in a breezy manner, as the great 'Thunder' recently was. 
     
    So regardless of the subject or topic of the song, regardless of whether it's broadly masochistic in approach or domineering or somewhere in the middle, sad or happy, deeply personal and intimate or simply a subject she wanted to essay, I'd like the songs on COCC to be passionate, genuinely inspired, dramatically presented, and inherently dynamic. All of her best music you can listen to over and over for years and never tire of. 

    She also used to produce clever, humorous 'little' songs like 'Radio,' 'National Anthem,' 'Hollywood's Dead,' 'Making Out' and 'Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight' which were like satires or parodies of contemporary pop songs, and which she was very good at. I wish she had continued writing these, as they were a good offset to her more serious songs. 
     
    * 'Video Games,' 'Blue Jeans,' 'Summertime Sadness,' 'Radio,' 'Cola,' 'American,' 'Gods & Monsters,' 'Yayo,' 'Wait For Life,' 'West Coast,' 'Old Money,' 'Black Beauty,' 'Swan Song,' 'Salvatore,' 'Religion,' 'Terrence Loves You,' 'Music To Watch Boys To,' '13 Beaches,' 'When the World Was At War,' 'Heroin' and, from her unreleased catalog, 'Angels Forever,' 'Hollywood,' 'Hollywood's Dead,' 'Making Out,' 'Meet Me in the Pale Moonlight,' 'Live Or Die' 'Fine China,' 'Color Blue' and others.

    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).
