lanaboards ghost

that's me! only a few days ago i managed to reactivate my account..

It was properly reworked yes

Yes and it's not only that, it's kinda a pattern throughout her career!
Each time Lana wrote a song with Rick, but it was released with/alongside someone else's production, but she still liked the demo, she would finish it with Rick and release as radio mix.
Radio mixes of Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness are both finished Rick demos  

OMG leak Guns and Roses Dan Auerbach demo

Pretty sure that what she said was "I have an idea for this record called Music to Watch Boys to", but I don't know in what context she meant that, I would say it was about the song, but please note that first actual recording sessions for HM with Rick started in September 2014, so everything prior was just ideas

it seems like they already are  
 

I don't recall Get High, but yes the other 2 are definitely real OG titles of the songs so Get High might as well be

Yeah I Don't Wanna Go / Tonight / Black Leather Moonlight (as annoying as it sounds, all 3 titles are equally correct, you can use whichever one you want) that leaked is from mid 2012, then it was rewritten and re-produced as Lake Placid for Tropico/UV
 
ITTJ is another essay-type post I don't have energy for right now. Not gonna lie I hate that song, never put full effort to piece its timeline together
 
The simple answer to this is that Rob Orton, UV's mixing engineer, was still mixing the tracks at the time of WC release and they just attached earlier mix to it. Pretty sure it was even released on streaming later as Rob Orton mix or something

I don't mind LMLYLAW getting simpler production, the biggest loss for me is the fact that she picked the best part of the song and relegated it to the bridge 
 
That melody deserves to be played at least twice on the track not once (even though it has so much bridge energy that I can't imagine it as a prechorus unless it was rerecorded and the delivery was different ofc)

This thread feels like early (or late) Christmas

I'm not sure about YTH, but Fine China went as far as being mixed by Rob Orton and it's a Rick Nowels version. Same with Your Girl
But as soon as she came back to work on Honeymoon the first person to touch SYTH again was Rick so you could say the last version of YTH for UV was Rick's (per leaked files though - James Ford version is the latest, from April 2014 I think)
What you are missing is the fact that Dan did demos of Pretty When You Cry and Guns & Roses as well, they just never leaked

I honestly wish there were a whole ass documentary on how this album came to be. 

LMFAOOOO Honeymouns running to the border rn 

i can’t stop giggling.. those two songs really are cursed 

Someone needs to write a full length encyclopedia about this woman’s career  
 
I mean, maybe other artists are like this but I don’t pay attention to anyone else so I have no clue but like…the lore in her career is just wild

Cut the cameras. Dead ass.

Wow there is so much disappointed coming for some of you it seems, Dan Auerbach never produced SYTH or Fine China

@BlackoutZone thank you for being so transparent and answering questions that have been a mystery to us for so long. i just wanted to ask if there is a recorded version of Cruel World out there from that Electric Lady session it was written during?

manifesting melancholia, ave maria, and dark city to leak this year 
my UV b side album is going to go AWFFFF

so i'm guessing that people out there must have melancholia if we're getting a description of it?  

Lana did record Ave Maria, it was considered for UV even "after Tropico"
 
Talking like an Answering Machine is a bit of a mystery to me as well, but there seems to be a higher chance that it's real rather than that it's not 
 
Melancholia uses seemingly the same instrumentation as UV and some parts of the melody, but outside of that it's pretty much a very different song, very rough though.
 
 
It's just an unreleased song, all I'll say 
 

we have a confirmed snippet of the vocals version of ave maria 

Never heard about Elvis being actually reworked, but it's a song Lana remembered if that makes sense. Also wasn't it used for some movie a few years ago, that Lana acknowledged as well? They surely used the "final" existing version there

Because it was not planned. She wanted the visual to be made for songs only from the new record. I guess she wanted to launch the album alongside, but when she realized the album was not ready they just decided to use it for Paradise era and create different visuals for LP2 when it's all done.

What I see here and what seems to make sense by what existed in January 2013 already:
1. Old Money?
2. Black Beauty?
3.  ??
4. Lake Placid
5. Summertime
6. Melancholia
7. Jesus (ITTJ)
8. Pink Champagne - this is the original name of Let Me Love You Like A Woman demo
9. Elvis
10. Earthquakes
and further I can't read, but it Guns n Roses, Money Power Glory and maybe Cherry Blossom I'd expect to be on such draft from that time as well
