I've not seen anyone here talking about it so I thought I'd post. A really heartbreaking story. She was so young.
 
I have no sympathy for the two children who murdered her, they were responsible for their actions and deserve to be put away for a long, long time, but it's horrible to see 3 young people's lives completely fucked thanks to the unending hate and vitriol spread by the UK media and scum like Joanne Rowling.
 
It's been disgusting seeing the media coverage of the story as well. The UK media, both left and right wing, has a heavy transphobic bias and rumor has it, several newspapers interviewed her dentist so they could find her deadname to use in their articles - only changing it after backlash. They made a conscious effort to deadname a 16 year old murder victim. One publication edited their article from 'teenage girl' to 'transgender teen' and edited out all reference to her being a girl when they found out she was trans. On the flip side, some newspapers didn't even mention she was trans, or at least emphasised that there was no clear motive, because god forbid they be held accountable for the results of their hate campaigns. They should really be celebrating to see their efforts finally come to fruition. Not to mention that if a trans person was a suspect for murder, you'd never hear the end of it... but when a trans person is a victim of a violent crime it's suddenly not an important fact. It makes me so fucking furious and what's worse is that it isn't even being treated as a hate crime by the police, which it clearly is. As a trans person living in the UK I'm honestly terrified.

so... long time no see huh  thank you everyone for the support  
 
here's some A&W covers i made using the promo shot, i tried to edit the photo to have an neil-esque polaroid effect but i'm not totally sold on the blur so i made 2 versions of each cover. hope you like it! 
 

 

 
and some color variants bc why not!


 
blurred variants:
 

Happy release day sistrens! 
 

 
Made this last week, inspired by king @kallumlavigne's LMLYLAM cover and ofc Neil Krug alt. cover. I wanted to post it with a vinyl mockup but i didn't finish that yet and i wanted to celebrate the cummin of COCC with y'all  So here it is, hope you like it!

Hey there! From time to time I like to play with Photoshop and do some fanart (not frequently tho, design school really sucks me dry). It's been a while since I done some Lana but today i had this idea while listening to Heroin so wanted to share with you this LFL-inspired COTCC cover:
 

 
Some alternative covers with minor differences:
 
I wanted to do it in a higher res and use some stills from the MV but we don't have those  so i had to use screencaps instead, sorry in advance for the photos not being in the best quality. 
 
Anyway, hope y'all like it!  More might come, idk, i'm lacking motivation lately lol

Woohoo!  Finally  a couple weeks to go. Can't wait for the full album  and the artwork? genius  

Don't give her ideas sis 

Ngl I'd love her to actually pull a Lana and take the unused songs from the 24 hr album, finish them, add 4 or 5 new ones and make it a new album. That would be so fucking good  

Just an additional note - iirc we've had other Lana songs with copyright claims by YouTube with incorrect titles - "Best American Record (Demo)" was labeled Architecture (still superior title to me but), and also when "Nectar of the Gods" leaked back in 2019, and we didn't have a confirmed title (Wild on You, Color Blue), it was removed claiming its title was "Wild One - Fusion Mix" when the actual Wild One was still unleaked and they ended up being two completely different songs in the end, and we still don't know what the Fusion mix is  
So yeah, not all copyright claims are accurate. Not even registration entries in sites like BMI or ASCAP, some have mistakes in there as well (can't recall an exact example but I'm sure I've seen some errors).

She’s already back to subtly dragging crash 
 
her streak of trashing her albums upon release continues 

yup.. her ass is definitely still signed 

Not that I necessarily want it because I don’t think it’d be…good…but seeing as he’s made his rounds with certain pop girlies I wonder what a Jack Antonoff x Charli album would sound like lmao 

Lana shared Junky Pride, A Star for Nick, Out with a Bang, and Bad Disease on Myspace with those titles attached. That’s 4/15 titles confirmed. Sirens, Young Like Me, and From the End were all rips from CDs. When Sirens leaked, the metadata listed the tracks as Track 1, Track 2, etc. When Young Like Me and From the End leaked, the titles were actually attached to the metadata. Since there was a lot of overlapping songs between the three projects, 7 more titles on Sirens were confirmed. That’s 11/15 titles confirmed. The only titles that remain unconfirmed are Birds of a Feather, Pretty Baby, My Momma, and Next to Me. They’re all educated guesses, and the “alternate” titles are just what the songs were referred to as before we got official titles.
 
YouTube claims the song as copyrighted material under that (incorrect) name because that’s what it was uploaded and got popular as way back in 2012. Doesn’t mean you can’t use those titles; some people do! 
 
Also indebited is not a word 
 
Edit: Stoned out of my mind and didn’t realize this had already all been said. Embarrassing bye!

another thing to add on the the yet-to-be-created “things to ask lana whenever any of us see her in person” thread 

The more interesting part for me was the fact it was copyrighted as Interscope since... I'm not sure she sold the rights of these songs? Didn't she buy AKA rights to get it out of circulation and owns it herself\not Interscope?  How\Why would interscope buy something even older that was never really released.
 
 

i'd read this article
https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/6/22820318/youtube-copyright-claims-transparency-report
so the titles are probably from youtube's system and not actually UMG
and also "i'm indebted to you" is spelt "i'm indebIted to you" in youtube's system so that's just straight up incorrect even if that was the actual title

when sirens originally leaked in 2012 none of the titles leaked with the album and all we had was track 1, track 2, etc. - we did figure out a star for nick & junky pride through website screenshots but all of the other titles were fan guesses
all of the titles that you showed were those fanmade titles
in 2014 the "young like me" & "from the end" EP's leaked and they were registered with the US copyright office so we know that the titles that came with those 2 leaks are legitimate (since sirens shares many songs with those 2 EP's)
there's only 4 songs on sirens we still don't know the official name of - "next to me", "my momma", "pretty baby" & "birds of a feather"
however since those were also fanmade titles from 2012 we have reason to doubt that the youtube copyright titles are not actually from UMG and probably just an auto-flag

A sirens thread in 2023 

This is actually quite interesting but I have to agree with Coloringbooks. The Siren song titles are probably going to be forever debated unless Lana herself confirms them 

Unfortunately, copyright strikes sometimes show false/incorrect titles after being uploaded under that title multiple times. A more recent example of this is Like That by Ariana Grande, which everyone called "Jada"— she only says that once in the full song, and we know it's not the actual title, fans made it up when only a snippet was available online.
 
Something similar also happened with a few Melanie Martinez songs several years back, being detected under fake (but frequently used) names.

None of the Sirens artwork out there is official because the album never got an official release. As far as I know, some CDs of it were made that people have that Lana gave to them and that's about it

yep this is true
