Video games 5:05

[williamprb 1,975]

I’m sorry if a thread for this already exists but I NEED ANSWERS!

 

 

So on lana’s 2011 MySpace 2 songs are featured. Video games and Kinda outta luck. The strange part is that video games is listed as being 5 minutes and 5 seconds long. This is much longer than any versions of the song that we have. It seems like too long to just be seconds of silence but had too many streams to not have leaked/been uploaded to yt so I just came to ask if there is any more info on this.

Image is gone but I'd think it could have been a remix or if it was a video it could have been a montage of clips amoung other things outside of video games?

So you’re telling me there may be an alternative final version of Video Games?

Yeah but it’s very strange how it can’t seem to be available anywhere from how many plays it has on her MySpace 

[rosemead ramada 6,715]

Hmmm she calls Video Games a 5-minute long song in this interview too

She could just be rounding up from 4:42 in this video, though there must've been a 5 minute version at some point

SOMEONE FIND IT. It's probably just extra instrumental tbh

I really doubt its a version we dont already have but this lore on the timestamp differences is interesting tbh ..

When I click play it pops up with the music video on youtube and it changes the length in the status bar to 4:46 which is the youtube length. the 5:05 remains a mystery

dw same i keep seeing it everywhere just for it not to work

like this is the most likely link to work and it doesnt.

 

also the fact that we have 2 mystery versions now bc of that one lana interview from 2011

[Embach 42,552]

Do you know about this 5 minutes and 5 seconds long version of Video Games, @111 or @Unknown or any other insider?

 

I have a feeling that it's just a longer instrumental, like longer intro or most likely outro because I don't think the song has any extra lyrics.

 

But interesting thing I noticed was that the song has another unleaked demo which was technically "released".

 

The Video Games demo we know, is 3 minutes and 55 seconds long but apparently there was a Video Games CD Sampler released in the UK by Stranger Records and the CD includes a Video Games demo with a duration of 4 minutes and 32 seconds.

Also the cover art ate, the beautiful simplicity :

 

Or is this something we have known for a very long time? Did you know about that though, @lanaismamom? You seem to have all the information about the known demos and alternative versions.
