honestly we need some more lizzy grant tea in general, i'm sure it's a lot more elusive compared to tea/information about more recent eras when lana was already famous, but i know that there's things we still don't know

according to @Be Free who has shared a lot of lizzy grant stuff with us, it's likely that there isn't a concrete second version of the album produced by steven mertens, it's most likely just a way to describe the demos they did together, and we do have a few AKA demos produced by him, such as the ocean, the queen of the gas station demos, jump, mermaid motel, ruby, and brite lites, but, who knows, maybe there's other steven merten demos for other tracks, since we don't have steven mertens demos for oh say can you see, for k, pt. 2, yayo, etc.

yeah, there was even a comment on her myspace page saying that they liked the song, i'm pretty sure there's a screenshot of it

wtf are you talking about? she's a singer, music is her job, it takes work for artists to write music, record vocals, work with producers to get the exact sound they want, and decide what gets released, she also does the occasional photoshoot or interview, also, not to mention the fact that it can take hours, days, or even months just to do one song, she shouldn't have to do anything she doesn't want to do, her job can be difficult, being famous isn't easy, but even if her job was easy or more like a hobby, she still doesn't owe anybody anything

TV in black and white vs. never let me go

children of the bad revolution vs. backfire

it it kinda like how trash magic was also called "miss america" by lana and both titles are technically correct?

so, that laptop demo version of hundred dollar bill that leaked in 2020 isn't actually ruby tuesday...? i guess the elusive ruby tuesday remains a mystery... at least we know the truth now

i believe it was the same article that had that 18-track album sampler tracklist

ome i've never seen this before, it almost seems like something she would write herself! very interesting... what's also interesting is that this letter is referring to the earlier iterations of the video games music videos which features video game footage ("war animations")

i don't believe i really hear of "god bless america" being an early/alt. title for AKA, only nevada, which, if i had to guess, was the title of the album when it was first completed in early 2008 and later changed when she changed her stage name to lana del ray/lana del rey

i wouldn't consider fordham road to be from sirens era, neither would i consider money hunny or pawn shop blues, the earliest known evidence of these songs existing online is from the summer months of 2006, i've always considered sirens to be from the earlier months of 2006, but that's just my speculation, fordham road has been commonly believed to be from 2005, but there's really no evidence to suggest that honestly, i'm not sure why the lengths of some sirens tracks are different when featured on from the end, it could just be that they have some extra seconds of silence at the beginning/end? or maybe they just leaked that way? but i wouldn't consider any of them to be "remastered" especially considering the fact that sirens only seems to exist in 128kbps

ALSO, smoke and mirrors is a known fake title also, although they're likely not real, lanaswildflowers also claimed that several demos of music to watch boys to exist, one having the lyric "lies can buy a wedding ring" or something like that didn't floridakilos claim that the concept demo of love existed, or am i getting mixed up?

i would put the alternate version of a star for nick in the "others" section because it's very likely that it was recorded before 2007, so long before AKA was being conceptualized talking like an answering machine was actually registered in 2012, i believe i wouldn't say that vacation was supposedly never recorded, it's way more likely that it was, the fact that she sang a part of it in run motorcycle, also the fact that it's clearly referenced in the bridge of freak like me i'm pretty sure "dance man" was confirmed to be the same song as "let my hair down" by an old band member of hers who uploaded the song to youtube

mary (scared of me) is a fake title made up as a joke!

if it seems like you can't find definitive leak dates for these tracks, it may be because they were always "around" even during the earliest days of lana's mainstream career, likewise with AKA which i don't think ever really got "leaked" it just always happened to be around to listen to starting at some point in 2011 when lana was starting to become more of a known figure, if it helps, i believe axl rose husband and elvis (alongside with gramma) were first uploaded to the internet on one of lana's myspace accounts on january 1, 2009 i don't know when exactly kinda outta luck was first uploaded to the internet, but i'd guess sometime in 2010 through one of lana's soundcloud accounts

a&w vs. yayo (aka)

when this first leaked i wasn't crazy about it, but i really enjoy it now! i love her deep, husky voice, the lyrics, and the chorus just hits the spot

not to mention the references to the ocean... i'm lying in the ocean, singing your song pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beachside i wanted to go out like you swim with the fishes that he caught on rhode island beaches she also mentions the ocean similarily in kill kill/the ocean the ocean makes me cry i'm in love with a dying man, i'm in love, lying in the sand

oh my god how did i not make this connection? this is my favorite band and i just KNOW she's intentionally referencing "summer's almost gone" in white dress
