Imagine seing Lana sitting on the row before/behind you at a concert ... Which way to look, which way to look ??

Springsteen is the best, hell yes...

She kicked off her European Tour and basically the world is becoming a better place : - she looks incredible - she sang Loverboy - Apparently she sounds good (I'm not listening, and actually I should avoid anything related to the tour, since I'm seing her on the 27th .. I'm being so spoiled by everything... But it feels like a kiss)

Well ... PWIC .. Sorta ... Yeah, I abandoned the idea after Freak. It's cool that she did one more video for the era, at least..

Same. Except if she wants to film a mv for "Salvatore", which she'll never do. So we're back to square one. So same.

I'm surprised not a lot of people chose Yayo. I mean, all or the other songs listed make sense, too, don't get me wrong..

"buttfucked"

Oh my !!! THIS IS PRICELESS I mean, I'm sure that a lot of water went under many bridges but still, the fact that So Legit exists ... I can so picture this moment, Gaga grabbing Lana for a hug and Lanz saying "Oh boy, so we're hugging, okay" And Jamie .. What an evening

They're all great, the way that Lana sort of built her own universe with its own recurring themes. But what I was planning to do was to collect musical bits that are re-used in other songs (some of what you wrote about fits that !). So yeah, but let's talk about those, too, I mean who's willing to do a count for "red dress" and "daddy"

2:43 : "Yo soy la princesa"

I'm gonna love this ! I'm very bad at remembering things like that but this video (while being more focused on "funny" moments) has a couple of very endearing stuff :

React (You can put a "vocal" watermark if you want)

So when do we get instrumentals for covers ?

I did it ! Hope it's structured enough.. Also, I made little banners but as you can see, I'm no graphic designer, so if you come up with something better, by all means ...

Oh sure ! I'll do that when I get back from classes ( eeek, caught luring around LB during class ) Any tip on the way I could include them, cause I suck at layout ?

Honeymoon is wonderful. I mean, that intro ...

Thank you, I knew I was missing something from Honeymoon. And all the rest is accurate as well !

I wasn't that much into this one. I liked it for its "James Bond" vibe, but nothing more. But man from 3:30 on ... It's so explosive ! And the rest is good too, I mean the melody on parts like "To lie like you lie, or love like you love" is really beautiful !

"You've got your money now, You've got your legacy" I'm slowly getting into this one. The intro, her voice on the first verse... I'm still not a big big fan of the chorus although the bridge is sort of nice, but "Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me" and the quote I mentioned here above really satisfy me.

And the instrumental on that part is divine ! The strings

My bad, I'll correct it now ! ^^

In this thread, I'd like to study the way that Lana sometimes incorporates bits of a melody that she wrote for a song into another. Here are a few examples : Blue Jeans samples bits of Making Out : Blue Jeans : "I will love you 'til the end of time" Making Out : "It doesn't really matter what you say" (AngelHeadedHipster) * Video Games also samples Making Out : Video Games : "I'm in his favorite sun dress Watching me get undressed" Making Out : "I'm the New York City queen queen, You should hear me sing sing" (AngelHeadedHipster) * Afraid is sampled in Video Games, too : Video Games : "I'm in his favorite sun dress Watching me get undressed Take that body downtown" Afraid : "You should never come between a woman and her dream And a man who never knew his place" (AngelHeadedHipster) * In "Ultraviolence", around 3:31, you can sort of make out in the background "Lay me down tonight, in my linen and curls" which is taken straight out of "Fucked My Way up to the Top". (BlueJeans) * Sad Girl and Pretty When You Cry both share a similar melody in the following lines : "Bonnie on the side" "Pretty when you cry" (Anthem) * Old Money echoes to Methamphetamines (which itself samples What is a Youth from "Romeo and Juliet") "Where have you been? Where did you go? Those summer nights seem long ago" "What's happening? Where did we go? The Jersey Shore was long ago" (May) * Music to Watch Boys To heavily samples Sad Girl's verses melody (May) (I'm actually making a mashup cover of both, with me singing Sad Girl over MTWBT's instrumental - BlueJeans) * Freak alludes to Angels Forever "Is the sun in your eyes, easy rider?" - Angels Forever "Sun reflecting in your eyes, like an easy rider" - Freak (HBHBHB) * High By the Beach surprised us by alluding to Put Me in a Movie "Lights camera accion, you know I can't make it on my own" "Lights camera accion, I'll do it on my own" (May) * In "Swan Song", during the introduction around 0:10, you can hear some slowed-down outro vocals of "High By the Beach" (which you'd find around 3:16 and later on in the latter). (BlueJeans) * The melody of Hit & Run was sampled in the bridge of Big Eyes : Hit and Run : "Hollywood and New York, Mister Major. Then there's me, Little queen of the stage, yeah." Big Eyes : "Is it me was I wrong to have trusted you Did I see what I wanted, what wasn't true?" (AngelHeadedHipster) * A couple of melodies from Every man gets his wish are declined in various unreleased tracks. (titles and references needed) (May) * There are probably some more, especially in the field of her unreleased songs, but since I know very little about the year those were written and such, I prefer not to say "Oh that one references that one", when it could be the other way around. Do you have examples ?

Just checked it out, nice !

Okay... I remember reading that it was Jackie's own work and never digging any deeper. What's your fan page ? ^^
