i don't think he had much to do with that song, it leaked from a random melanie martinez discord server

in before melanie martinez made the dragon slayer - stem edit (melanie’s version) 

[Yes To Heaven 3,706]

@BlackoutZone are these lyrics related to an upcoming song?

Dark City is from HM times, unfinished song, never worked on more

Is there a chance for it to leak

[Crazy Husband Thief 3,904]

@BlackoutZone you don’t happen to know what the Spanish lyric in Dragonslayer is, do you?

Just to clarify on the inclusion of the two Warren versions - my understanding is that they were legitimately created by one of the musicians working on the track. While they were created under false pretences, they are genuine (in the sense of "not fanmade") versions of the track. Please correct me if I'm wrong! That being said, where fanmade creations are particularly notable, for example where they precede the official version and are rightly or wrongly treated as official by the fandom, they will usually get at least a cursory mention for clarity for people who may have those versions in their collection. 

This debatable, it's whatever perspective you want to take on this. Patrick Warren is someone who gets commissioned by Rick to record - let's say Keys and Strings that gonna sound like this and that. Patrick records them and puts them in a form of stems, then sends back to Rick who is doing with those parts whatever he wants without Patrick's further involvement. Patrick producing these demos is nearly an equivalent of you right now DMing random producer who advertises themselves online, sending them acapella/unfinished demo and paying them for laying new production however they imagine.

The redeeming part of this is that Patrick seemingly had partial stems of the real Rick Nowels produced track so these pieces of sounds are real. I won't dwell into that further, take that as you want. For now these are the only leaked versions anyway so it's not like there is any other option than appreciating them as they are.

 

But yes, what Patrick himself created that can be acceptable is this:

 

This however is just straight up fake made by some Lana fan based on what leaked/was shared:

I didn’t think that leakers actually had to EDIT songs before leaking them  No wonder it takes sometimes so much time to get a decent leak. 

[Future Jazz 9,194]

it's a bit unpuzzling to see so many things get debunked... i can't remember who told us dark city was from the uv sessions, but that's erroneous too, it's hard to know what's true anymore. but at the end of the day, what matters is not the information, it is the music we got and get to hear, and we did get three excellent leaks 10 days ago, and warren's mixes are still really good and i'm actually satisfied with them. rough though they are, they are also subtle and graceful, and i love elements like the bagpipes or the synths even though they might not have been there on the actual mix

 

[Crazy Husband Thief 3,904]

Oh and are there possibly more studio versions from her other tours? 👀

I'm 100% sure that the sound we can hear at the beginning of Carmen (BTD Studio Version) is the outro of Heart-Shaped Box. Is that correct?

and specially the GP seems to love the Warren mix of syth over the other ones so…

@BlackoutZone do you know anything about this version of "Flipside" from Blake's instagram? LINK

[Beautiful Loser 48,829]

Has anyone asked about Ave Maria? I'm 100% convinced a version with Lana's singing exists somewhere out there, that track is too beautiful and haunting for her to not sing on it!

I'm not an insider but I think this is something he did for possible inclusion on tour.

@BlackoutZone

theres most definitely studio quality versions of basically all live performances she's done (Including some aka ones) but me personally idk about the studio acapella versions, my theory is the paradise tour studio versions might've been meant for a 10th anniversary thing that somehow got into the hands of fans
