this was so hard! I actually really love every single track of BTD

Uhm. Emile Haynie had a q&a on insta and someone’s asked him about his fav BTD song and Emile replied: „Without You is slept on. Unless you’re Taylor Swift.” We have to stan this man and wish he worked with Lana again.

He did! That's why Love is the best song on Lust for Life But yeah I would love him to come back for another album. High as Hope was such an amazing album and showcased a completely different side of him and I'd love Lana's mature lyrics and melodies be visited by him!

Not even Lana likes it, sorry.

So lana uploaded a special version of the paradise edition. Anyone know what it means?

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,450]

Burning Desire is now on Spotify!!

 

Honeymouns said on Insta that this are all remastered versions of the songs and yeah like I said above Burning Desire is on the special version

 

Here a Screenshot:

I'll give it a listen!

[takeitdoen 10,629]

Burning Desire finally available for the first time on Australian Spotify. I hope we get a 'Special' edition for Ultraviolence that includes Flipside. 

 

I'll give it a proper listen to later, but it sounds like they didn't fix the audio fuck up in Lucky Ones which was the only thing I noticed that was a mistake on the album. AH WELL.

 

I wish it had some alternative artwork but awesome! 

 

[TheBoss 13,517]

Maybe they're trying to give Dark Paradise a push since it's getting viral on Tik Tok

Is this Special Version available in any DSP where lossless quality is available?

@@Pico Boulevard said Burning Desire is finally on Spotify and they’re right!! I’ve been waiting for this sooo long! https://open.spotify.com/track/2Za7Yhteh4XcUXnNYxTIHH?si=HRqz-iTWT5uRGzw-gOTLwQ

@@Elle Can this be moved to the post-release BTD thread? I feel like it’ll fit in there. :3

[mrborntolose 9,992]

i’m confused this isn’t a thing in the US?

 

edit: it is oops. why tho

[TrashMagiq 58,949]

I wish they added Burning Desire to Paradise aswell, I like to keep it seperate from BTD

[Roll With me 5,667]

I've seen people around saying the whole album has been remastered. Has it really?

[Thunder Revenant 20,977]

Burning Desire is on Amazon now too. Yas! Fuck those exclusive-track-deals!

It's one of the most memory-charged-tracks from Paradise for me and I was only sad that it was rarely overlooked due to the stupid Itunes exclusiveness.

 

 

Seems like they renewed the licence-deals for Paradise, as it wasn't on Spotify in multiple european countries for a while now. Nice!

[Pico Ocean Boulevard 41,450]

This was so out of nowhere..so typical for Lana...

Now we need an Ultraviolence Special edition so that Is this Happiness and Flipside would be finally on Spotify

[Beat Poetry 289]

What do they mean by "remastered".....? I mean it's 8 years old lol, I don't think it needs to be remastered (?)

Anyway, I'm happy they finally put Burning Desire! I hope Ultraviolence is next so we can finally stream Is This Happiness. I would have loved a Born To Die "special version" with BTD outtakes as Kinda Outta Luck or You Can Be The Boss tho

[sjatib 5,174]

This seems like a label's move to keep making money from BTD, and would make sense as Lana hasn't said a thing about it. May it help her to release the poetry album and the next music one without problem, at least.

[delreyfreak 5,342]

Does anyone think the actual music sounds any different? Like it's supposed to be remastered which means they've like edited the sounds and stuff? It sounds kinda the same to me but I do feel like the strings are kinda louder in "Born to Die" but I could just be imagining this?
