I will consider this

Could've sworn the date for Sirens from ldr.fm was 2006, and the only thing prior to that was "Money Hunny".

Interesting--I've heard things about Lana's age not being quite exact, but never that she physically looks to be in her 30s. I don't see it.
 
 
I'll keep the opinions going: Her deep voice is forced as hell, she should drop it. I want to hear "Blue Jeans" sung in her natural AKA voice, so she doesn't sound like she's barking in concert.

ednafrau, you're so insightful!
 
 
If I ever forget to listen to anything, it's usually BTD tracks ("Diet Mountain Dew", I literally forgot about it for so long) or demos. My master Lana playlist covers several eras and I listen almost every day.

I don't want them on the release, don't get me wrong. The more I listen to Born to Die, the more I see it's theme as "dark side of the American dream", in Lana's words, than just glamorous, heartbroken woman. Those two would totally fit with this. I think they would have been very appropriate on BTD, in fact, but perhaps they were left off for a reason. Imagine DY and HD alongside Without You or Radio. It's fitting.
 
And the more Lana insists on forcing her voice to go deep, the more autotune we'll see.

"Puppy Love" is the way more engaging title, and if I had no idea that was ever a consideration and knew it as the basic "Marilyn Monroe", I'd think, "Well, why the fuck does she say 'puppy love' so much?" Similiar to "China Doll" shitting on "Without You".

This is some next level National Treasure shit. Only Lana

Oops, opened a can of worms. Y'all are prudes. Why can't you be sexual and pro-female?
 
 
She will never write another song as good as "Get Drunk" or "Disco" as long as she's focused on being this deep-voiced, overproduced retro queen with purty lyrical phrasing

The only one I thirst for is "Santa Baby", but I wouldn't say no to any Elvis covers.

September 19, I believe.

Yes! We know one of the Elvis songs she covered was "Heartbreak Hotel".
 
I also wish I could hear her cover of Brandon Wilde's "Love in Cars".
 
Also, this is completely anachronistic, but I would love to hear a Lizzy Grant and the Phenomena cover of Lana's "Body Electric".

Judging everyone that chose Yayo. :mellow:

Quitting hardly a year into her mainstream career is a really stupid move, though.
 
Even if we don't forget and freak out about a comeback in five years or something, no one else will care. Here and now, she's all the rage.

Looks like there's a lot work to be done in the lyric section.



Like the Summer of Sam back in ‘69
I be heavenly, deadily on the grind
Because to sing this nice has to be a crime
I be murderin’-a-murderin’ ‘em

Like the Summer of Love back in ‘69
You can say that I’m yours but my body is divine
I belong to everybody that I walk by
Like hi, hi…

I’m the master of my destiny
You haven’t seen the best of me
And if you want the rest of me
You have to pay a lovely fee
Hard, to stay far-far away from me
‘Cause I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please, boy, touch
Boy, stay away from me

Baby, I’m a cinnamon girl
Keepin’ it fresh on the far East Side
Baby, I’m a tenement girl
Keepin’ it and cut your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby, I’m a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me

I be murderin’-a-murderin’ ‘em (x2)

Like the Summer of Sam back in ‘69
I be tyin’ ‘em up and hang ‘em out to dry
‘Cause I’m hot like that, when I walk they die
I be murderin’-a-murderin’ ‘em

Like the Summer of Love back in ‘69
When I get on the microphone, my-my
They be lookin’ at each other like “ay ay ay”
Bye-bye

Please excuse m-my vivacity
Capacity for head games is incredible
It’s better if you stay away from me
I know it’s hard-hard, to stay far-far away from me
I am the baddest girl in NYC
You can look but please don’t touch but, boy, step away from me

Baby I’m a cinnamon girl
Keepin’ it fresh on the E-East Side
Baby, I’m a tenement girl
Keepin’ it and cut your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Baby, I’m a dangerous girl
Baby, you should stay away from me

I be murderin’-a-murderin’ ‘em happily
Murderin’-a-murderin’ ‘em, ah-ah
Murderin’-a-murderin’ ‘em

I'm diggable, predicatable
No, everyone knows all my people
I’ll give you a fistful
You know you’ll be in a fight
Unmissable, invincible
Behavior is despicable
If you’re lookin’ for fun you can come out with me tonight
I am the baddest girl in NYC
I am the baddest, you’re likin’ what you see

Baby, I’m a cinnamon girl
Keepin’ it sweet on the far East Side
Baby, I’m a tenement girl
Keepin’ it and cut your cherry pie
B-A-D-D-E-S-T, baddest girl in NYC
Honey, I’m a dangerous girl
You should stay away from me

Not even bothered about ISTBE, but I need to hear "In the Land of Gods and Monsters". If that isn't Dark Lana, I will be livid
