I know early in this thread there were lists of unreleased songs, but has anyone ever put together a mega library of her unreleased works? I've already got her Bandcamp albums and if she doesn't want us listening beyond that then ignore this message

You know i wonder if the guitar intro that fades into Cola in her live performances (from 2013-2016) was also a blake x lana interlude. The guitar chords doesnt (sound) aligned to Cola’s chords.

Blake Lee has a LENGTHY interview and in one small part (30 minute mark) he speaks about his time working on Ultraviolence and his first time meeting Lana!
Blake says he first met Lana and he was simply himself, no expectations. Byron helped him get the audition.
He says the First show they played together was secret and under an alias name in NYC.
He says working with Lana is "spontaneous, electric, thrilling" and he remembered looking up Video Games for the first time and his mother overheard and they both fell in love with the sound of the song and the video. and he knew he wanted to be part of her band.
Blake says he is blown away with how fast she writes songs and it is unlike anyone else he has worked with.
He says he has no idea how many songs she has written BUT Ultraviolence was originally a double album (40 songs were written for Ultraviolence that he remembers and said they were all worthy of being on the album. He said a few of the interludes that didn't make the album have been worked into some of the live shows they do)
Blake says he respects her so much and calls her "the real deal" and admires her ethos of "not trying hard or pretending to be something, and just saying NO when you don't want to do something or if something does not feel right knowing to say no, and then eventually the right thing will come along "
says it was Lana's idea to get Chriss Isaak to perform at the Hollywood Bowl,
Spoke about Sean Lennon and how magical it was

his new album is a dreamy, cinematic, avant-garde album and quite mesmerizing.

I see this song as nothing more then a semi Interlude in the context of the album
I dont think it was a good choice for a single besides the amount of internet attention it was getting

Messing with ChatGPT - 1o Preview, I asked AI to write a movie summary based on the lyrics of Heroin:
Title: Soft Decay
Genre: Drama, Psychological Thriller
Logline:
In the glamorous yet decaying city of Topanga, a grieving musician grapples with the haunting legacy of her brother's death, battling her own demons as she seeks escape and redemption.
Synopsis:
Act 1: The City of Contrasts
Maya, a talented but struggling musician in her late 20s, navigates life in Topanga—a coastal city shimmering with movie stars but hiding beneath a veneer of soft decay. The city's allure is tainted by its liquor stores, forgotten corners, and the lingering whispers of its dark past. Maya is haunted by the death of her brother, Alex, a charismatic guitarist who succumbed to a heroin overdose.
Visual Montage: Glimpses of Maya performing in dimly lit bars, the city's glittering skyline juxtaposed with its shadowy alleys, and flashbacks of Alex teaching her guitar chords.
Act 2: Haunted Memories and Present Ghosts
The unseasonably hot winter intensifies the city's eerie atmosphere. Rumors circulate about strange happenings reminiscent of Charles Manson's terror, fueling paranoia among the residents. Maya's friends, including her closest confidante Lena, unable to cope with the city's oppressive aura and their own fears, start to leave one by one.
Maya begins experiencing vivid dreams of Alex, where he speaks of heroin as both a gift and a curse—something that "gave him everything and took his life away." The truth about Alex's death unfolds: Maya was 18 when Alex first overdosed. Too young and focused on her own aspirations for music and fame, she felt sending Alex to rehab abroad was the only way to save him and herself. However, after Alex's departure, he ran away from rehab and was later found dead from another overdose. She channels her turmoil into writing music, but the lines between reality and hallucination blur.
Key Scene: Maya wakes to find cryptic messages scrawled in red on her apartment walls. Unsure if she's responsible, she becomes increasingly unsettled.
Act 3: Descent and Desire for Escape
The city's madness escalates—a body of a fifteen-year-old girl is found, sparking public outrage and protests against the police's inability to catch the perpetrator. Public disturbances become commonplace. Maya witnesses a group of teenagers engaging in reckless stunts, reminiscent of "jumping off from the walls into the docks." The chaos mirrors her internal disarray.
Simultaneously, Maya hallucinates seeing Alex stabbing another man. She begins to hear voices telling her that Alex has returned to Topanga as a vengeful spirit, causing the turmoil as payback for the city's role in his downfall and, ultimately, for Maya not saving him. Feeling trapped and fearing for her sanity, Maya contemplates leaving Topanga. She recalls sending Alex away ("I put you on an aeroplane, destined for a foreign land"), hoping it would save him. Now, she considers if a similar journey might save her.
Emotional Beat: Maya visits Alex's grave, confessing her guilt and expressing her longing for a sign that "everything's okay." She pleads for forgiveness, grappling with the weight of her past decisions.
Act 4: Flight Towards Redemption
Determined to break free, Maya books a flight to a remote destination, symbolically aiming to "fly to the moon." As she prepares to leave, she discards remnants of her old life—lyrics, photographs, and the medications numbing her pain.
On the airplane, she reflects on her past and envisions a future where she overcomes her "evil ways." She dreams not of escape through substances but of genuine healing. As the plane ascends, unique camera angles and techniques create the illusion of Maya flying toward the moon, symbolizing her journey toward enlightenment and peace.
Climactic Moment: Maya pens a new song titled "Soft Decay" during the flight, embracing both the beauty and deterioration she's witnessed, acknowledging that healing comes from confronting, not avoiding, her inner demons.
Act 5: A New Beginning
Maya arrives in a tranquil foreign town, the antithesis of Topanga's chaos. The serene environment offers her a fresh start and the space to heal. The open ending suggests a glimmer of hope; while her struggles aren't over, she's taken a definitive step toward confronting her past and finding peace.
Final Scene: Maya sits on a quiet beach at sunset, guitar in hand, playing "Soft Decay." The camera pans out to show the vast, calm ocean, symbolizing the possibilities that lie ahead.
Characters:
Maya: A gifted musician haunted by her brother's death, teetering between reality and delusion. Alex: Maya's deceased brother, whose battle with heroin and untimely death profoundly influence Maya's journey. Lena: Maya's closest friend, who eventually leaves the city, symbolizing the loss of support and increasing Maya's isolation. The City (Topanga): Almost a character itself, embodying glamour, decay, and the weight of past atrocities. Themes:
Duality of Glamour and Decay: Exploring how beauty and rot coexist within the city and within individuals. Grief and Loss: Maya's journey through mourning, guilt, and the search for closure. Impact of Addiction: The ripple effects of Alex's heroin use on those left behind, and the guilt carried by loved ones. Escape and Confinement: The struggle between the desire to flee from pain and the need to face it to achieve healing. Reality vs. Illusion: The thin line between Maya's perceptions and the world around her, highlighting her mental and emotional instability. Visual and Musical Elements:
Cinematic Style: A blend of surreal imagery and gritty realism to mirror Maya's mental state. Hallucinatory sequences depict her internal struggles, while stark contrasts in lighting reflect the city's dual nature. Music: A haunting soundtrack featuring heavy metal influences (nods to Mötley Crüe) and original songs penned by Maya, reflecting her inner turmoil and journey toward healing. Potential Tagline:
"In a city where dreams and nightmares collide, one woman seeks the path between escape and redemption."
"Soft Decay" is a poignant exploration of personal demons set against the backdrop of a city that mirrors the protagonist's inner conflict. It delves deeper into the complexities of grief, the seductive allure of escapism, and the challenging road toward healing. The added layers of Maya's guilt over her brother's death and the city's escalating chaos intensify her struggle between reality and illusion, ultimately leading her toward a path of self-discovery and redemption.

Topanga is hot tonight, the city by the bay
Has movie stars and liquor stores and soft decay
The rumbling from distant shores sends me to sleep
But the facts of life can sometimes make it hard to dream

judging by what ppl have said there's 3 ambient tracks and 1 with a long ambient outro, pulldrone 100% feels like one of those
because ambient is a genre like any other. i understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea, i also prefer her tracks with lyrics, but i think dismissing it like this is worse than anyone being pretentious

Housofpsychoticwomn- ambient, spoken lyrics
Pulldrone - pretty sure it’s ambient, drone is an ambient genre, and she described the word on her tumblr
Amber Waves - vocals and lyrics, very slowcore and atmospheric
And off we alr have Punish, which does have lyrics, a slow burn but still feels like a song
I feel like there may be another ambient track in the 5 we don’t know about, but there’ll probably be another song that isn’t completely instrumental.
