this is a very late reply, most of these we don’t know for sure but i’ve made some predictions

 

Born to Die

I believe the first song written was Diet Mountain Dew because we have demos of that song dating back to 2009–I don’t think there are demos that old for any of the other tracks. That also relates to me believing that the last song written was Summertime Sadness, because it’s the only Nowels song on the album that we don’t have a demo by a different producer for, and iirc Lana started working with Nowels pretty late during the making of Born to Die. The other songs he did for that album have earlier versions that were made with other producers, so those are likely older.

 

Paradise

First is Yayo obviously. Last, we really have no idea, but I think Bel Air. Cola was written in 2011, American was worked on with Haynie who worked on all of Born to Die but doesn’t appear on any other tracks on Paradise besides the cover of Blue Velvet so I believe that one is probably older as well, Ride was written with Justin Parker during the Born to Die sessions, and Body Electric + Gods and Monsters were announced in July 2012 when Lana talked about new songs she had been working on. There was no mention of the existence of Bel Air until Paradise was announced.

 

Ultraviolence

First one written for this album could be considered Old Money because it samples a demo Lana made all the way back in 2006, but technically I think it’s Black Beauty (but it could be Money Power Glory as well, Greg Kurstin mentioned that one was written very early in the album process and Lana didn’t know what direction she wanted to go with the album yet). Last one, again we have no idea, but it was probably Cruel World or Pretty When You Cry, they were likely only written a few days apart. All of the songs that were brought to Dan in January 2014 were written in fall 2013 besides Cruel World and Florida Kilos, which was written in 2012 with Harmony Korine for the Spring Breakers soundtrack. Pretty When You Cry was written in January 2014, but separate from the sessions with Dan (it was recorded at Electric Lady instead of Easy Eye). Cruel World was written once the sessions with Auerbach had already started that same month. I don’t believe we know which part of the month she was in New York, so it’s hard to tell which one came first.

 

Honeymoon

Music to Watch Boys To was mentioned in June 2014, so that one was probably written first. We have absolutely no idea what the final song written was, but I think it was either Swan Song or Salvatore because they were both recorded at a different studio than the rest of the album, so they were probably later additions.

 

Lust for Life

First one written was Beautiful People, Beautiful problems—the first demo of that song is from June 2014. Last one was Change, written and recorded the night before the album was due to the label in early June 2017.

 

Norman Fucking Rockwell

Bartender came first, Love Song was next, written in January 2018. Last song written was Fuck It I Love You in May-June 2019.

[EDIT] I completely forgot The Next Best American Record existed lmfao, that song is the oldest actually, from 2016 originally for Lust for Life.

 

Chemtrails

Let Me Love You Like a Woman is believed to have been written for Ultraviolence in 2013-2014, I have no idea where that came from and I’m not sure of the source but it’s pretty much accepted as truth. Last song written we don’t know, but I think it was Breaking Up Slowly because it’s the only song besides Yosemite (from 2016) and Not All Who Wander Are Lost that didn’t appear on the scratch tracklist from during the recording of the album. It seems like Not All Who Wander Are Lost is a love song about Sean, and Breaking Up Slowly is about her separation from him, so I have a hard time believing it came before anything else.

 

Blue Banisters

Cherry Blossom and Nectar of the Gods came first, but I’m not sure which one of those two is older. They were both recorded during the same session in May 2013. Living Legend and If You Lie Down with Me are from this time too, but If You Lie Down with Me was re-recorded in 2020/2021 unlike the other songs. Dealer + Thunder are from 2016. Beautiful was recorded February 2020 so that one is older, Black Bathing Suit was written in March 2020, and Arcadia was written in 2020 as well. Sweet Carolina was written and recorded in June 2021 after Text Book, the title track, and Wildflower Wildfire were already released so it’s newer than those three. We really don’t know anything about Violets for Roses but the lyric about the masks definitely seems like it’s from summer 2021 as well. So either Sweet Carolina or Violets for Roses was last.

 

this was so much longer than i intended it to be but i kind of had a blast piecing it all together lol

does anybody know anything about this supposed “second” version of the on our way music video? it’s been on lanapedia for years but i never hear anybody talking about it

it seems like some of the lana clips are unique to this video only, meaning they aren’t featured in the other on our way video or the diet mountain dew videos, but all of the other clips are clips she used in other music videos, such as diet mountain dew, gramma, and even kill kill, it’s really odd and even the structure/pacing of the clips seems different compared to all of her other videos, not to mention the fact that towards the end the audio switches to the end of the song but the video still flows as usual

 

 

maybe @HeadBitch would know?
