Olivia…so overrated.  I use to think Billie was but Olivia is even worse, you wonder what other girlie is gonna come along and water down Lana’s music and sell it to the masses. 
 
anywy Ocean Blvd 1 year today,  and still sounds great, Lana will remain timeless. 

Im still not over this. I get teary eyed every time 

The problem is the production, Piano just changes the song a bit and vibe. The original guitars and instruments were just gold.   It’s still good, but the original can’t really be touched, John Denver is always going to be superior. I fear Lana won’t be stopped until she’s turned every classic into a Piano lullaby.

true. and if she gets so bothered she should give the log in to a social media manager and send them selfies to post or something. everyone would win, she wouldn’t be on instagram and we’d still see her. that or just use the sparkle jump rope queen website for that

I’m gonna go with the opposite, I think Lana should just learn to log off and stop deactivating off and on, it’s unhinged,  girl needs to learn to just Ignore shit it’s part of the Business and focus on the real fans.

As I see it, there's no use doing a cover of a genuine, certified classic, especially of an American radio classic, if you don't feel it and don't think you can bring something genuine and fresh to it. That's the whole problem with covers. Linda Ronstadt was the classic covers artist of the 70s and she brought it almost all the time, even into the 80s with her immaculate covers of The Moon's A Harsh Mistress and Anyone Who Had a Heart. Even the old 70s semi-schlock classic Wildfire by Michael Murphy, for example. If you're going to cover a song like that, you'd better be ready to bring it, to bring the magical emotion that makes the entire song, because comparisons are going to be immediate. The same is true of movies remakes, with recent failures-at-the-box-office like Ben-Hur and Westside Story. 
 
Simon & Garfunkel are top-drawer Americana, foolhearty  to attempt, as I see it. 
 
I'd like to see Lana cover Lilac Wine, but not if she doesn't relate to it or can't feel it. I find about half her covers flat, lackluster. Even Season of the Witch lacked the punch of the original for me, and there's so much brooding spookiness in that song. I don't think she understood the song. I didn't see much effort put into it, anymore than has gone into CRTMH. The sad thing about her CRTMH is that, with all the touring, Lana no doubt knows that feeling very very well—she as much said so in the new interview. 
 
As always, I'm happy for those who enjoy it and hear something different than I do. 
 
Thanks. 

Just think of all the other songs she could cover, I’m guessing she will cover Simon and Garfunkel?
