Dark City

Get Dark is post-Lust For Life

Every song has a demo, so I wonder if anyone who has heard them if there was ever a modern "Lizzy" vibe like we saw with Get Free, A&W. Also the Honeymoon home video was an obvious tribute to her Lizzy era films. It's such a strange and complex period of time it's no wonder many fans dislike it. 

oh thats definitely there are much more demos exist, I can even list the ones weve been told of

someone make a thread like this but for norman
include LFL deluxe, LA who am i, get dark and the interesting post lfl song

The only songs we need are Dead To Me, along Dark City and Paradise 😭😭

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR AGES.

My guesses
 
LEAIFU - Love (Lust?) Even After I Fuck Up 
 
LYBTI - Living Young & Beautiful To Infinity 
 
DWM - Die With Me 
 
TWBTKYN - This is hard omg... To Wish Beauty To Kill You Next. That Second T is troubling... 

Praying for Song to the Siren cover. It's one of my favorite songs ever.

Fight w me in my bed?

Also @Unknown is there a final Beautiful People version made for HM or was it just the 3 rough demos amd then LFL? How far did it go in the sessions? Also, how would you place Come With Me in the final tracklist based on the vibe?

GIVE IT TO ME NOW, though we were talking about the 2015 song, bless your heart 🫶🫶

omg i meant the honeymoon outtake

Not really 😭 other than the fact that Rick Rubin produced a rock version of Body Electric while he was working on Ride 

just make sure you ask for any lizzy grant tea lol  
 
i think if we want to narrow it down, we should ask about trans-am, talking like an answering machine, and melancholia, those titles have been so mysterious for so long, it would be amazing to finally get some clarity on those ones

omg omg may i add a little question to it @The Siren?
how many full-like songs from that time (late 2012-early 2014) are still unleaked?
 
i was wondering because recently we got Dragonslayer which was pretty much unknown until the snippet so maybe there are some others that remain unleaked and we don't know of... 
though to be honest I think we pretty much have the most considering the amount of tracks we've gotten throughout the years

2019? idk why my mind thought LL leaked ages before NFR came out

Yup, totally possible!
Yeah, I remember that it was said Fabrizio Argiolas was in charge of the session (not the producer, more like in engineering and stuff). It was confirmed the songs were recorded there when they leaked back in 2019 iirc.

I'm pretty sure these were recorded for Mike Will Made It's album 'Been Trill' and never completed 
 

then either they were recorded for the sake of finding a new sound or there was another scrapped project starting around this time?

my prediction for a possible recording timeline

*I am editing this as others share new information!!

Yeah I don’t think it was ever posted here but BlackoutZone talked about this, sometime last year I THINK (unfortunately ATRL was reset so I can’t find the post anymore).
 
But he basically talked about how she was hard at work on the follow up to BTD when they decided to put Paradise together as an EP (and we know Lana herself said she wanted it to be an album but was told it was too soon). They basically formed Paradise using songs she already had, and then continued on with that same pool of songs for the next full-length (which would end up being Ultraviolence).
 
Not sure if what I’m saying makes sense but what BOZ was trying to clarify is that Paradise outtakes and Ultraviolence outtakes are essentially the same thing and there’s no real point trying to differentiate them, especially when some songs on UV are “older” than Paradise (Old Money and MPG, for example).
 
He also talked about how Wild One was on an early UV draft titled as ‘Mike’ and that there’s no real “Honeymoon version” - if I’m quoting BOZ correctly here, he said something along the lines of, for some reason, Lana/her team reached out to Justin Parker regarding the song that year and that’s when Parker decide to slightly update the mix, hence the two very similar mixes we have, and the change in title to “Wild One”. He also said that “Lake Placid” was an early title for I Don’t Wanna Go/Tonight/Black Leather Moonlight.
 
Maybe someone has a screenshot of his post in case I’m remembering any details wrong, but this is what I recall.
 
Edit: and I think he also said what was discussed on the previous page, that Tropico was an early working title for the actual album, not an EP
