Lyrically, yes but sonically? I don't think so. However, what you did point out correctly is how Lana tends to pick up stories and further elaborate on them. Like on UV she was grieving the end of the relationship and in BAR she's much more confident and has this F You attitude. I remember her saying that CW represented her mental state when UV dropped. So basically her being on her way to forget about the guy that fucked her over but being crazy and mad as fuck. Then, throughout the album she explains how it got to that point. On Honeymoon she has a very melancholic, dreamy view on their relationship. I'd even go as far to say that Honeymoon is mirroring UV but from a very different perspective. She dreams about their relationship and how it could have went had fame not gotten into the way (Honeymoon, Swan Song, God Knows I Tried, 24). On Lust for Life she has fully recovered and is ready to face the world and instead of looking back, she's looking forward (which could explain the futuristic themes she's been playing with). Her music and her persona is still vintage but she's singing about the present and the future, not the past. It's interesting how she's constantly playing with the concept of time and juxtaposing the future with the past and etc. I think that's why she put Burnt Norton on HM. It's supposed to explain what she does and how she plays with the concept of time and how the past influences the future which is shaped by our actions in the present, etc.

Hard to tell, tbh. Born to Die really hasn't too many "actual" outtakes. She considered a lot of the material she recorded back when she didn't have a record deal for the album. I think the only one we know for sure was among the ones strongly considered for inclusion is "You Can Be the Boss". It was most likely replaced by Diet Mountain Dew. It would be interesting to know whether Emile Haynie also reworked YCBTB and the other songs that are speculated to be outtakes (Driving in Cars with Boys, Roses, Damn You and Hollywood's Dead). I think his remix of You Can Be the Boss would sound very similar to his version of Diet Mountain Dew, if not almost exactly the same (the beat at least). Note these are all speculations though... Another possibility is, that she started recording stuff with Chris Braide after Video games blew up and then picked songs that could match the songs they recorded together before going into a completely different direction with Emile Haynie. Now, Paradise had two outtakes: - Hollywood - JFK - Because of You was recorded in 2012 but we don't know if it was recorded for Paradise in particular. I listed the ones for Ultraviolence in my previous post. Honeymoon...I don't think has any outtakes...at least not any that we know of.

No. It only leaked alongside Hollywood and JFK which were Paradise outtakes. The UV outtakes are: Fine China Yes to Heaven Melancholia Angels Forever Trans Am? Black Beauty (Demo) Sad Girl (Demo) Shades of Cool (Demo) West Coast (Radio Mix) Guns and Roses & Is This Happiness also came from the sessions above but weren't reworked by Dan A. as far as I know.

I don't get why you hate all of her best songs. Anyway, Fine China without a doubt but I'mm very glad that the entire session for this album was abandoned at first and then picked up with Dan A. again. They truly chose the best songs for the album. Your Girl remains the worst out of the four, though.

Hardly. Honeymoon has some of her worst and unimaginative lyrics ever.

JULY 21st????????????

A non-event. Some beautiful photoshoots and some okay-good songs. Nothing outstanding. It was nice to see what could have become the Ultraviolence video.

Which ones do you want exactly? Album bonus tracks? B-Sides? Album outtakes?

Everything.

I can't believe we are gonna get this as an extra on the DVD! I am more hyped for this than that shitty tour!

Hey, guys. I've been working really hard and have spent a lot of money on completing my Madonna collection. A while ago I started uploading a megapost of all her singles (every commercially released version of every song, including all those rare promo edits) with all the b-sides and shit for the media section of another forum. I thought some of you might be interested in obtaining some of those versions. Madonna has some AMAZING remixes for her singles. Unfortunately almost all of her singles are not available digitally or as remix EPs on iTunes for example. Therefore, I decided to create something like that for my personal iTunes collection and I wanna share it with you guys! I know there are two fans of her on here @@Hundred Dollar Bill @@trayertrash. To everyone else, if you want to be updated please quote me. I will add you to my taglist. As of now, I have all her singles from Everybody-Love Profusion uploaded. The rest will follow once I've managed to obtain all versions of those songs. Some tracklists have been slightly modified to avoid b-side repetition or add something that was not available anywhere else or only available as promo single. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByGWA1FoMxaITXBZZFA1RVhLVEE

Yup. That's what I thought! It's weird that they are both related to instrumental music though (a piano theme and the Lolita score). It only seems to further support the theory that they are instrumental compositions she has done with Skarbeck.

Why do you have to be like this?

Let's imagine she would actually do 1 1/2 - 2 h long shows with sections, interludes, costume changes etc. How do you think they would look at? Let's make fantasy setlists, tour posters, stage design ideas, etc. There are no limits for your creativity! Okay, so imma start with the... BORN TO DIE TOUR Instead of being a small promo tour like the one she did before the album dropped, this would instead be an actual concert tour starting after the release of National Anthem featuring songs from the album and some popular unreleased tracks. ACT I: Queen of NYC - Lana would wear a white baby doll dress or a floral dress for this section. She would also appear on stage wearing heartshaped sunglasses. Intro A video of Lana doing her makeup and getting ready, shot on 8mm and set to Ennio Morricon's "Quilty" from the Lolita movie soundtrack with vocal excerpts and samples from "This Is What Makes Us Girls" 1. Lolita 2. Serial Killer 3. Carmen 4. Diet Mountain Dew 5. Us Against the World Interlude A video of Lana and her lover riding in the car and scenes of them at the beach set to "Lucky Ones" ACT II: On the Run - Lana's look for this section would be more "Americana"/Rockabilly 50's but with a modern twist. Kind of "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra"! 6. Kinda Outta Luck 7. You Can Be the Boss 8. Blue Jeans 9. Video Games 10. Radio ACT III: Opulence - Lana would wear a beautiful long red gown for this section. She would rise on the stage sitting on a big black piano performing Million Dollar Man. Interlude An 8mm video of Lana performing "Why Don't You Do Right?" 11. Million Dollar Man 12. Off to the Races 13. Born to Die 14. Summertime Sadness 15. Without You ACT IV: Encore Interlude Re-edit of Lana's National Anthem video set to the Jackie Kennedy monologue. 16. National Anthem

Does she ever sound consistently good live though? Good riddance!

If only she did her best song, Brooklyn Baby! No thx. That song has been done more than enough. Time for the new stuff!

I wish she would drop BTD or VG for once. I'm glad she's switching it up though. Now give me Brooklyn Baby followed by Love and I'll be satisfied.

Got nothing else to say to support your argument? Cool.

Shades of Cool was not a single, honey. It was released as part of the album countdown as pre-order track, just like BrB and UV. UV got picked as second single and BrB was gonna be third. Both got cancelled and we ended up getting a regional (third) second single for BBt. The only singles from UV were: West Coast Black Beauty If we count promo singles: West Coast Shades of Cool (Promo Single) Brooklyn Baby (Promo Single) Ultraviolence (Promo Single) Ultraviolence (Single - Cancelled) Brooklyn Baby was scheduled as follow-up single to UV. Black Beauty (Single - Regional) The same goes for Honeymoon: High By the Beach Terrence Loves You (Promo Single) Music to Watch Boys to Honeymoon (Promo Single) Freak (Video only, no official single release)

Then why did Shades of Cool, a promo single, get one? Brooklyn Baby was going to be the next single after Ultraviolence. Remixes had already been comissioned. A few of them have been released to Soundcloud and YouTube by the producers. They use official stems.

It indicates your posting level. With 1k posts you have reached a 3 dot level.

Look at Gaga and Madonna. They have literally been forced to release all kinds of shit ass safe singles. They also destroyed Sky Ferreira and defended her album and then stole her entire aesthetics and video concepts and gave them to Halsey. I think the Freak video was going to be the video for Ultraviolence and Brooklyn Baby. Those were the two singles that were left. BrB also had some official remixes that were commissioned but not released when Lana decided to cancel all promo. The Freak video is split into two parts: Life (the parts in the desert + their suicide) / Death (the white fog scenes and the water scenes) The part of them dancing and swimming in the video was meant to symbolize their ascent to heaven and actually matches Brooklyn Baby quite perfectly. (Someone should check the length of both parts)

This shit has been going on ever since they wouldn't let her release the single for Cola. That's literally when she stopped giving a fuck. They also wanted Black Beauty as a single but she prevented that from happening by making it a bonus track. It was released later anyway without Lana's consent most likely.

Absolutely not, especially the latter. I think Freak has much more commercial appeal than HBTB which is also one of Lana's worst songs.

SCREAMING.This is so smart and hilarious at the same time. Anyway, y'all really have got to grow the fvck up. God, I'm glad I'm never greedy in the pre-album phase... Like why are y'all giving a shlt? You know NOTHING about this album. All you know is that it's coming soon. In the meantime, how about spending some time listening to her old stuff and rediscovering gems y'all have forgotten about. That's what I do.
