honey dew 11,795 Posted June 23, 2023 Perhaps the most divisive topic amongst Lipsters...amongst the world even...Lana's "piano ballads". Some love them, some tolerate them, and some wish to never hear them again. So, what are Lana's best piano songs? What are her worst? I have chosen songs that are unequivocally true piano songs, but im sure some of you will take liberties and that's OK. These are my favourites and what I believe to be her best, where the piano really makes the song: • Kintsugi: The definitive Lana piano ballad • Candy Necklace: Never has a piano sounded better in a Lana song than on Candy Necklace • Is This Happiness • Paris, Texas • How to disappear (piano version): The superior version • Cherry Blossom: Honourable Mention: • Beautiful People (demo): I think that this song would also sound great with other instrumentation instead of piano, but I needed to shout her out because she is still one of the best piano songs Finally, I don't believe Lana has any bad piano songs, so I won't be doing a "worst" list 💋 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fingertips 72,051 Posted June 23, 2023 Kintsugi Change Old Money Hope is a Dangerous Thing White Dress Sweet Carolina Violets for Roses Bel Air 3 Quote "You can't be a muse and be happy, too. You can't blacken the pages with Russian poetry and be happy." - Blue Banisters Quote I asked Asmodeus (the demon of lust) to make Miley Cyrus suffer. I am not happy with these new developments. After Miley rips off Lana's aesthetic, she bullies Lana into changing her release date. It is infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strangelove 1,845 Posted June 24, 2023 She could release ballads for the rest of her life and I would be satisfied. French Restaurant and Change are my favorite. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
