That’s true I guess. Still hope it’s scrapped though

HIAB says otherwise

I hope they’re working on ballads honestly. I can’t imagine her trying to incorporate Jack’s style into her songs without it becoming too “pop” Why didn’t the Mark Ronson sessions ever work out ugh

I just like the fact that she was able to transform a dark song like this into something a lot more hopeful/optimistic. It shows how much she’s changed since then and I find it really showcases the whole theme of Lust for Life beautifully. Not to mention, the opening lines of the final version are some of her best lyrics.And also maybe because I still feel sincerity and meaning in her “happier” lyrics (excluding HIAB) instead of some of y’all who want her to be stuck in a timeloop of 2014

Also glad we have these lyrics because it just makes the final version of BPBP a lot more meaningful/powerful.

To be honest, I’m not sure This is an old tracklist idea that’s similar to the official one though. Love Lust for Life (feat. The Weeknd) 13 Beaches White Mustang / In My Feelings Summer Bummer (feat. A$AP Rocky) Groupie Love (feat. A$AP Rocky) Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems (feat. Stevie Nicks) Coachella - Woodstock in My Mind When the World Was at War, We Kept Dancing God Bless America Tomorrow Never Came (feat. Sean Ono Lennon) Yosemite Heroin Change Get Free Edit: Maybe I’d place it right after WM/IMF and put GL after it like the original tracklist. Love Architecture 13 Beaches White Mustang / In My Feelings Summer Bummer (feat. A$AP Rocky) Groupie Love (feat. A$AP Rocky) Lust for Life (feat. The Weeknd) Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems (feat. Stevie Nicks) or Love Architecture 13 Beaches White Mustang / In My Feelings Lust for Life (feat. The Weeknd) Summer Bummer (feat. A$AP Rocky) Groupie Love (feat. A$AP Rocky) Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems (feat. Stevie Nicks)

Ugh I love reading your posts! A LanaBoards scholar!Your tracklist is actually what my tracklist looked like before I switched things around a second time. I think BPBP sounds really good after LFL too. I used to stay up so late trying to figure out the “perfect” tracklist. At one point I had Get Free as the intro Makes me wonder how Lana is even able to make a single tracklist from 50 or even 100+ songs But yeah, I’m surprised Lana never arranged for Heroin to be Track 13. That’s so something she would do. Ugh and let’s hope Yosemite is released/leaked soon so we can finally add it to our versions of LFL

Gonna get hate for this but this is just what works for me after months of trying to find the perfect tracklist. 1. Love I originally had 13 Beaches as the intro but I don’t think it accurately reflects the tone/message of the entire album as much as Love. 2. Architecture I find that Love flows into BAR nicely sound-wise and the narrative/storytelling of the record begins to shift back to Lana’s relationships here. 3. 13 Beaches 13 Beaches kind of serves as an extension of what she was feeling in BAR. “That there was nothing left by the time we got to bed, baby that’s a shame” - BAR “I’ve been dying for something real” / “It hurts to love you, but I still love you” - 13 Beaches 4. White Mustang / In My Feelings Really wanted Cherry here but having 3 darker songs back to back was a bit much Also too short. White Mustang is a bit lighter in that sense but it’s just as short so I paired it with IMF to make it into a medley. I also find that the lyrics give off the impression that she’s moving on from the person in BAR/SR. “I was such a fool for believing that you could change all the ways you’ve been living but you just couldn’t stop” I know 98% of the fanbase hates IMF but I personally never had an issue with it so. Also marks the introduction of more modern-sounding production and transitions to LFL nicely (IMO). 5. Lust for Life Not much to say. Turning point for the record thematically. 6. Groupie Love I honestly find the transition from LFL to Groupie Love kind of awkward sonically (on certain days) but it serves an extension of LFL like how 13B is an extension of BAR. 7. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems I placed BPBP here because it sounds like Lana is reflecting on all the events that took place between BAR and GL. BPBP reminds me of Change in the sense that it’s not entirely about finding happiness but rather acknowledging hardships (in this case, BAR and SR) in order to move forward (“We gotta walk through fire”). So yeah, it kind of wraps up the segment of the album that pertains to her relationships and introduces the start of political themes for me with the line (“green is the color of the planet from the eyes of a turtle dove ‘till it turns red, runs red with blood”) 8. Coachella - Woodstock in My Mind Never expected to put this back on my tracklist but I’ve warmed up to it. Still wish it had a more laidback/acoustic production but I think its inclusion is necessary because it provides context as to why the other political tracks (WTWWAWWKD/GBA) are on the album. 9. When the World Was at War, We Kept Dancing Transitions from Coachella nicely and adds a bit of tension. 10. God Bless America I wanted GBA to wrap up the political segment because it’s the most optimistic and and triumphant sounding of them all and especially because of the line “God bless America and all the beautiful people in it”. 11. Tomorrow Never Came Transitions nicely and is a good follow up to the acoustic elements we heard in GBA. Marks another change in direction for the album. I see it as Lana getting away from all the chaos in the previous tracks. 12. Yosemite Obviously, I have never heard this track before but Lana described Yosemite as an “idealistic return to nature” so I think having it next to a track like TNC (which is based more in fantasy as well) is only natural. Not to mention it supposedly has a folk-like sound too. 13. Heroin I’m honestly surprised Lana didn’t put Heroin as the 13th track on the official tracklist considering who it’s about. 13 was supposedly Rob’s favorite number so this is a tribute to him. 14. Change 15. Get Free - I wouldn’t change anything about Heroin -> Change -> Get Free - Part of the reason I disliked LFL’s first half was because none of the songs following Love/LFL had the big feeling those two tracks had. Especially considering Cherry/WM aren’t even full length songs. Idk, it really left a weak impression which is why I added BAR to strengthen it a bit more and moved LFL to the middle.

I have my own tracklisting for LFL and that makes every song much more listenable/enjoyable for me. I really dislike how disjointed the official tracklist is thematically. Turns me off from the entire album tbh.

SoC video is literal art

‘Undoubtedly, that will for certain Take the dead out of the sea And the darkness from the arts’ Seriously one of her best lyrics

Tbh LDR6 will kind of make or break my stan card Really hope she comes back with something fresh and worthwhile in all sectors (melodies, lyrics, production, etc.) Especially no more cheap production please @@god

I wonder if she sang this using her upper register. I bet she sounds absolutely angelic singing “oh the good life” at the beginning of the song

Wouldn’t doubt it. Multiple insider accounts have stated it was a cover and I remember Eclipse tweeting “oh the good life” once.

Don’t even care about Masochism anymore, just want these two songs.

Ugh Take Me As I Am reminds me of early K-pop/J-pop sm She should cover this song tbh

Well, there’s no denying that part

That song is actually about someone she knew who overdosed on heroin though

Can’t Do Better is such a damn bop. The ending is serving Dance Dance Revolution

Happiness Is a Butterfly

Coachella’s instrumental sounds like the background music of an Instagram ad for a local music festival lbr

@@HoneymoonDaddy always spilling the tea

She’s a cute girl but a SoundCloud release would’ve been more fitting for her
