Velvet Crowbar vs. Us Against the World

The entirety of Hope is a Dangerous Thing. “You lose your way, just take my hand you’re lost at sea then I’ll command your boat to me again Don’t look too far Right where you are - that’s where I am I’m your man” - Mariners Apartment Complex (I love the presence of these lyrics and the sailing imagery!) ”There’s no more chasing rainbows And hoping for an end to them Their arches are illusions solid at first glance” - Get Free (A very poignant and profound sentiment!) “We both know that it’s not fashionable to love me but you don’t go ‘cause truly there’s nobody for you but me” - Honeymoon (It is stark but that’s the beauty of it - the dramatic in the simple is classic Lana).

Cruel World vs. Shades of Cool

Hope is a Dangerous Thing vs. Change

I love her outfit! <3

Let Me Love You Like a Woman vs. Hope is a Dangerous Thing For a Woman Like Me to Have - But I Have It

Cinnamon Girl vs. How to Disappear

You stole every scene you were in

I knew you were in Blockers but not the others! Wow. Acting queen

Honeymoon vs. Fine China

I love all her covers tbh! But if I had to pick the most “iconic” one, I’d probably go with Chelsea Hotel #2. She embodies that one so well and you can hear the ache and melancholy in her voice when she sings that one both live and in the studio version. I think she’s pretty discerning of what songs to cover because lyrically they are always in line with her writing style and she truly feels the emotions of the original artist. The Other Woman sums up UV perfectly and her vocal delivery is not only extremely pleasing to the ear but also does a good job of “word-painting” - it enhances the lyrical content perfectly. Some Things Last a Long Time is also gorgeous and there’s a roughness and innocence to it that some of her other covers don’t have that make it feel super authentic (although Lana is always that!) <3

I think this might end up getting the Violet treatment. I feel like it’s going to come a few months after COTCC with a proper vinyl/cassette/CD/digital release (that is, if it still doesn’t come before COTCC). I don’t think anyone was expecting Violet to be pushed as a major release until she launched the pre-order in July, so I expect the delay of this record to result in something similar!

Freak Like Me vs. Thunder

This is so cool. Thank you so much for sharing!

I agree. We can for once afford to believe it’s coming!

Same Our delusion swings to fleeting happiness though so we’re still good

We still have until tomorrow afternoon! Summertime the Gershwin Version was released at around 3 PM PST so I have hope!

I would love that!

That’s true, Summertime the Gershwin Version was released in the middle of the day and it’s most likely from this project so I could see it coming out sometime in the middle of the day tomorrow as well!

3 hours!

5 hours and 40 minutes until it’s here!

I was in class! It was my first class ever in law school but best believe, I DID open the notification where were you when the Honeymoon sampler dropped?

Edit: double post by accident!

I was at home sitting in my living room and already on IG when I got the notif! I saw the thumbnail of the notif with “LANA DEL REY” in the pink font and knew it was the COTCC teaser! Where were you when Lana posted the NFR announcement on July 31, 2019?
