Could your first 5 shuffled Lana songs convert a newbie to a fan?

[daphnedinkley]

okay guys so lets imagine you have to convert a non-fan into being a lana fan, BUT you can only use the first five songs that come up when you shuffle your library of lana's music to convince them.... how screwed/successful are you?

 

for me it's:

1. Coachella - Woodstock in my Mind     
2. Beautiful People Beautiful Problems
3. The Greatest
4. Lolita
5. Cruel World

i mean.... it's not TERRIBLE but it's not looking too great

OOOooooh, That is just so cruel  

Everytime I put on my music-shuffle, it NEVER picks out my favorite song, or any cool playlist.

Those A.I. (artificial intelligence) computers still have along way to feel human emotions and what human beings really feel.

 

To "convert" someone to Lana Del Rey music, I suggest you to first select 10 of your favorite songs (or her top 10 best songs) and

tell the listener to close their eyes.

NO distractions.

Just close their eyes and feel the music and feel the words. Let the music take you on a journey.

That is how I would convert someone to liking a certain song or a singer, or any band.

Music is invisible, nothing you can touch, but it is a grand emotion you MUST feel inside yourself.... Let it take you on a journey of emotions

and thoughts.

 

If the music , or a particular song, doesn´t do it for you, then you were not meant to like this type of music. Everyone has their own journey in life.

hmmm some certified bops in there but nothing too attention-grabbing for a non-fan, though salvatore is quite close to the classic lana sound!

Would you mind if I moved this post & everyone's replies into a new thread? I think this is such a fun idea and deserves it's own thread

 

Anyway, mine were:

Bartender

Guns & Roses

Making Out

Scarface

High by the Beach

 

Well this is... interesting to say the least I think any newbie who heard this mix would be pretty confused and terrified of Lana after this (esp after Scarface)

[Barry]

Mines were Money Power Glory, Doin' Time, Diet Mountain Dew, Brooklyn Baby and Born To Die. I don't think I would need to say anything if they weren't converted they must be tasteless

Alright, I've gone ahead and made a new thread! I'm excited to see anyone else's shuffles.

As for the title, I wasn't sure either, so I just picked the first thing that made sense to me but if anyone has a better title idea just let me know lol

 

& ikr they'd probably just be ultra confused and probably a H8r

[Neon Palmmm]

1. Summertime Sadness

2. I Love Paris (Live)

3. Back to tha Basics

4. Butterflies, Pt. 2

5. Kinda Out of Luck

 

Not bad! I’m curious, though, as to what it’d be if I limited it just to released stuff:

 

1. Religion

2. Heroin

3. Happiness is a Butterfly

4. Gods & Monsters

5. Venice Bitch

 

This one, I’m not so sure What are your thoughts, girls

[AngelHeadedHipster]

FREEDOM LAND OF THE SEVENTIES

 

1. BROOKLYN BABY

2. MUSIC TO WATCH BOYS TO

3. CHERRY

4. RELIGION

5. WHEN THE WORLD WAS AT WAR WE KEPT DANCING

 

These songs are very warm and velvety in tone like an ultra soft blanket wrapped around you, sitting by the fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows on a cold winter night.

Its a dificult decision since she has soo many great songs. She is a talented lady.

 

OK , Here is my 10 song list to "convert" someone to Lana´s music for those people that NEVER heard anything from this singer.

 

--- Notice = DO NOT Make the person look at the videos with the songs. Videos often don´t have much to do with what the song is about.

Let the listener make a visual image inside their mind while listening to the song. That is how its supposed to work - Every person has their

own thoughts when they listen to a song. Let them decide in the end if this music is their style.

 

 

1 - Young and Beautiful

2 - Get Free 

3 - COLA

4 - West Coast 

5 - Burning Desire

6 - Love

7 - Doin’ Time

8 - Video Games

9 - Body Electric

10 - Once Upon A Dream

 

 

TIP - if you have a music DJ program like Traktor (or some other) mix the songs into each other as they end - just about 5 to 7 seconds before

the song ends , the new song begins.   These songs mix very well.

[Ultra Violet]

1. Television Heaven
2. TV in Black & White
3. For K, Pt. 2
4. I Don't Wanna Go
5. You're Gonna Love Me

If they could get past the first 2 without too much judgement, I think they could 'like' her music, or appreciate it but not be a stan. 

 

But if i only include released songs:

1. Terrence Loves You
2. Cherry
3. Chelsea Hotel No. 2
4. WTWWAW
5. Big Eyes

I think they could, but it would take someone who really appreciates softer music or cinematic music. Like, they would have to be in the right mood and then I'm sure they would check out her other songs. 

[WillUServeMeLemonade]

1. How To Disappear

2. Video Games

3. Coachella

4. Queen Of Disaster

5. West Coast

 

Overall not bad lol. But idk

That´s a cool song-list.

Yeah, your right, a person has to be in the mood to enjoy these songs, They all have a cinematic feel to them.

I am a Rock fan which also listens to Metallica but even I apreciate a great song with a cinematic feel and a cool lady´s voice such as Lana Del Rey.

But if someone is into their music style and refuses to listen to any other type of music other than their Blink-182 hits ...  then there is no hope. 

[ArtDecoDelRey]

1. fuck it i love you

2. venice bitch

3. the other woman

4. old money

5. pretty when you cry
