Squidward getting her moment!! 

[Dark Angel 202,360]

isn’t that the 5-year anniversary of lust for life? if so, that’s pretty cool!

[bluechemtrails 26,768]

The song fits so well

[Fingertips 72,042]

Should have used the demo 

[star Iux 5,983]

Love this, LFL getting the recognition it deserves

[5adboy 5,015]

Love this and love Stevie Nicks, but I will never forgive Lana for changing the song production... The other 3 demos are clearly superior to the final version, which is so basic...

[CoochieSwirlC 2,065]

I hate this f*cking song

[GeminiLanaFan 49,044]

Awww Paul, Ethan, Lana all together?!? Sold!

In the demos, yes, but the lfl version? 

[Blue Ink 5,906]

A (1) LFL song on (2) something I won't watch is so anti-climactic 

Like WCE tbh

 

When is she going to get her bond song? Or in general do the song for a big movie again, not a series or a documentary? They can never blow up the way a movie soundtrack would.

Hell na.

i hate the demo of that song: it’s just sheer pain and desperate. The final version has its flaws for sure, but at least it’s not contemplating ending someone’s life 

[Trash Magic 28,388]

well deserved moment for a classic song

You missing the whole point of the song-

 

But I don't think the demo would have fit this series anyways since their lives did not seem that dramatic... and the final version IS good (one of my favs of lfl in fact  )

You’re probably right that the demo wouldn’t have fitted the documentary. 
as for the demo, I listened to it only twice : When I heard she said “she wants to die and she should fucking try”, I said to myself: “Thank God she changed the lyrics on that one: the backlash she would have received if that had been the final version  would have been insane”. Plus I really like the lyrics of the final version, and she sang with Legend Stevie Nicks, it really adds to the song.

Lemme make a whole analysis of the song real quick...

 

The song itself is more of a response to critics and just that whole "If she wants to die so bad why doesn't she just kill herself already" saying people were tweeting at Lana back then. It's not necessarily Lana saying she wants to kill herself but her addressing that normal people can casually talk about depression and being sad in general, but when Lana or any other celebrity were to speak out about it they would get the "beautiful people beautiful problems" treatment where they would get mocked for feeling a certain way because of their status in wealth/fame or whatever. 

 

When you mentioned " it’s just sheer pain and desperate" that's EXACTLY what Lana was singing about where she could literally say she wants to die and won't be taken seriously due to her status. The song is actually quite close to Lana's QFTC statement where she mentioned there is a certain image based on feminism and she doesn't have it; therefore treated different. It's the same thing with BPBP / publicizing depression in the public eye. The times have changed a lot since 2014 & it's more accepted and noted now but in 2014 you would have been  (and were) laughed at!

 

Also why the demo would not fit the documentary because the demo lyrics don't really relate to their story...
