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!

it has been confirmed before

ok I'll leave this thread before I look like a newbie who knows nothing and I have unfinished uni assignments waiting *sobs*

@BlackoutZone are all of the Honeymoon demos produced by STINT from late 2014? (God Knows I Tried, Freak Like Me, The Blackest Day, Say Yes to Heaven “legit version 2” and likely more that are unleaked). I assume these were earlier than later in the process. Thanks!

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.

 

Thank you for the points you've made here. I think just to counter your point vis a vis your hypothetical of me DMing a random producer with a demo, I do personally see there being a distinction between that situation and the one surrounding PW's SYTH edit. The edit was done by a notable producer who has worked with Lana in the past, and in my mind that does affect whether or not it's seen as a real demo. In the mind of PW, from what I understand, he genuinely produced it under the impression that it would be under LDR's (or her team's) consideration as a legitimate demo. The inclusion of elements of Rick's original production I think also bolster it's status as official as you say.

 

All that being said, if the LDR fandom decide the inclusion of PW's edit as an official version is not correct, it'll be removed. A difficult grey area and (hopefully) one we won't have to traverse again!

Yes, I don't remember exact dates, but all the HM demos that leaked around the same time can be considered STINT demos

Speaking of which, are the "Pink Flamingos" / "Ice Cream" demos actually produced by STINT?

[ImenaOphelia 9,663]

Yes I can agree with that, I'm just showing that he remains someone who isn't actively involved with these songs. Notice how I mentioned the Something Real fiasco happening later on, this very much means he was not even talking to Rick outside of his invoiced requests to even know what they were actually working on if he didn't realize the email was fake and they actually aren't working on YTH/YG/FC at all.

 

They are still notable versions until real Rick demos leak at least

Fair point and interesting to think about, thanks for your help.

No, all HM songs first begun as Rick x Lana sessions, everything that has any involvement from other people is them joining as the song progresses in production

 

Also keep in mind that certain titles are not really attached to any particular versions. Throughout Lana's career most "demo" titles are used interchangeably till the very last minute when she decides on one.

would this suggest that there's an unleaked early rick nowels demo of freak? also, do you know anything about the "phil spector" version?

the last page i read before this one was page 67… if anyone has a roundup of info please send it my way. i’m begging. as long as we didn’t find out True Love On The Side was fake, im happy. 

[IanadeIrey 62,020]

So if the first version we have of I Talk to Jesus is from 2012, is the second one (produced by Tim Larcombe) from 2012, 2013, or 2014?
