Barrie James O'Neill to release Riverside feat. Lana Del Rey on Upcoming Album 'Strange Desire' (November 5th, 2021)

[saith 1,185]

This is beautiful. I've been playing the song on repeat today and it gave me right away the feeling that Lana sounded like a ghost on this version while I didn't notice it in the demo. Her vocals are the same but I think Barrie rerecorded his parts witch makes such a contrast. It makes so much sense to keep it that way.

The video is also moving and really confirms this feeling. The song has a whole new meaning now and Lana is clearly haunting him. 

 

To add to the feet discussion, I'de like to mention that Lana's feet are on this video even if she didn't play in it.  It mirrors her bare feets on the Blue Banisters video. There's really something reflecting between their arts. In Lana's live stream she said that the link with someone you loved once is never really gone. It feels deeply true for Barrie and her.

Everything about this is perfect. I almost cried in public to this song today.
Video is so good too. Lana being a ghost again. Shades of Cool, Lust For Life and now Riverside.

I can’t stop listening to this song. I love that we finally have a legit release for it. And it’s so beautiful! They have great musical chemistry. I also like the first track, Angry Man, on his new album; sounds just like a 90s song and it’s throwing me back!

[Veinsineon 76,802]

his album is phenomenal.

The power of those two can bring absolutely anything
Except that one thing…
The thing that washes away the pain

[Ultra Violet 18,976]

Btw who acted as Lana in this video? Was it Lel? Because if it was she is an absolute champ for being able to put up with that knowing Lana's stans are spamming Barrie with comments about her. I mean, even tho she's been bothered by it before, I hope she's handling it okay. Same with Barrie.

OMG. I just listened to his album and it's one of the best albums this year. Please, give him a listen, cause numbers are horrible. Even alt bands from my small country are doing bigger numbers on Spotify. It's so sad that amazing musicians like Barrie flop so badly. If only people knew what they are missing.
The fact that his album doesn't show on Lana's profile under "Appears On" for some reason, doesn't help either.

i have been listening to strange desire nonstop since it came out. i agree, it is one of the best of the year. more than that maybe. angry man is my new personal anthem,  pretending not to breathe is a dream, solid rose, country 33, that's alright. and of course riverside. which riverside was already the perfect damn song but those steel guitars he added well i have been trying to pick myself off the floor since november 4th. i've been streaming on every platform i have and bought the cd as well. this album is beautiful, barrie deserves all the support.
