I would love to hear a now-famous produced version of Elvis.

It's coming Friday!

Any news about it? It's confirmed the 2008 song will be the thing??

[LAman 3,224]

There's going to be a couple Q&A's at this theater starting next Friday. Maybe Lana will make an appearance at one of them

i ll be very very VERY disappointed if they use an old laptop quality demo of a song for an Elvis tribute documentary

Is it confirmed that Elvis is the song featured? I really feel like it's just going to be a cover of an Elvis song...

Yeah, someone posted it in LDR6 Thread

Imagine if she re-recorded Elvis and it's a magneficent version but then only 1 verse is in the movie and we never hear it in full

This is very likely, given the way things always go. 

[LAman 3,224]

I think they are only featuring Lana's song because she makes an appearance in the documentary, probably riding in Elvis's car as seen in the synopsis. So my theory is that Lana will be in a scene talking about her relationship to Elvis and the American Dream, and she'll mention her song that she wrote called "Elvis," which will start playing over the audio. Therefore, the old laptop song will probably be used as reference. Again, this is my theory, so I might be totally wrong. I'd prefer a studio version so we can get something new 

[LAman 3,224]

This is a taste of what we may expect with Lana's part I hope

Pls, just let this be a Methamphetamines/Old Money situation instead of another Life is Ugly mess.

Pretty sure it’s the exact same version. The film was played at a festival before, and they said it was in the movie for less than a minute or something.

Or that’s what I was told by a friend

[Veinsineon 77,840]

If it’s not new I don’t care.

Just like when Burnt Norton was in that TS Elliot documentary and they made it seem to be a new Lana song for views

I'm excited to hear how an updated version of Elvis sounds. Knowing Lana she probably made it sound great and I highly doubt they'd use a bad quality laptop demo. Also the documentary might release a soundtrack some time after the release and could be on Spotify and iTunes. Who knows?

I really don't think you guys should be getting too excited. It's a documentary, it's very possible they would use it for a transition scene before someone else starts talking. They don't have any plans to release a soundtrack either, so I don't know if Lana would contribute and go into the studio if it wasn't being planned to be released. 

[Say Yes to Heaven 27,622]

The fact that some of you refuse to acknowledge that there is little to no chance of it being a new song or full fledged new studio of Elvis. The movie was literally PLAYED at a festival an it’s been said that the SAME demo is in the film for less than a minute. You guys are just setting yourselves up for disappointment which will turn into being mad at Lana

thanks i hate it! wish i heard this earlier jfc

[DinahLee 6,256]

so I don't know if Lana would contribute and go into the studio if it wasn't being planned to be released. 

 

To be honest this was meant to be so real and then I remember it's Lana; the million versions of Young & Beautiful at Gatsby + Life is Beautiful + Big Eyes songs that didn't make the cut and I just cracked

 

However yes there's no reason to do a big deal. Will be cute to have it and I imagine how amazing for Lana but it's unlikely they'd do anything more

Elvis is one of her most poetic tracks lyrically and I’m mad we didn’t get a studio version
