LDR songs that belong on another album?

[barttttender 4,979]

That's right, boys and girls (and non-binaries) of the Lanaverse, it's time to re-arrange! 

 

I'll begin.

 

The Blackest Day Honeymoon >> Ultraviolence. With its rock sound and dark themes, this track woulda fit perfectly in the second half of UV. Even more perfect when you remember the mention of a gun right off the bat in Cruel World ("You got your bible and your gun"), and Blackest Day is, in a way, a revenge song ("Carry me home, got my new car and my gun... I got you, I got you where I want you now"). As a die-hard fan of Blackest Day, this would have made UV a much stronger record (not that it's not strong anyway)

Margaret Ocean Boulevard >> Chemtrails. Folksy sound, Lana and Antonoff singing together, the super languid pace, the Midwest vibe... This would have made the short second half of Chemtrails feel hell of a lot more substantial

Florida Kilos Ultraviolence >> Born to Die. Need I explain?

Ridin' Unreleased >> Born to Die. Need I explain?

Serial Killer Unreleased >> Born to Die. Need I explain? It's certainly better than the overproduced mess that is Lolita

Hollywood Unreleased >> Honeymoon. With lyrics like "In Hollywood, I'm alive again" and the sunny LA production), it'll always be a mystery why Lana didn't add this banger to the southern gothic melodrama that is Honeymoon. Especially when you think track 1 mentions Wilshire Boulevard and this could have fit right after or just after Music to Watch Boys to. It would have done wonders to speed up the pace of this record, and made a delightful prelude to High by the Beach.

 

Maybe a re-issue one day, Lanita.

 

Any other ideas, boys and girls?

I mean, even with how eclectic Lust for Life is as a record, I still think both Yosemite and Best American Record really fit with their sound. Both in the second half, they sound cohesive around tracks like BPBP or TNC, with that folk essence to them. I'm still glad both got released, and Yosemite blends greatly in Chemtrails, but I will always feel them closer to Lust for Life than to the albums they got released in.

No wonder that LFL, Chemtrails and Norman are my favourite albums of hers though, I think that sound is where she shines the most.

Let The Light In should be on Chemtrails imo

Very true. Although, LFL (conceptually) couldn't have handled another dreary song like Yosemite, not after Change and Heroin, it would have been to much imo.

 

The Next Best American record could have replaced Coachella, which I still think is the lowest point of LFL.

I was thinking about that too! It could have added some panache.With that track and Margaret, Chemtrails would have been an incredible record.

If You Lie Down With Me - Chemtrails 

Yosemite/TNBAR - LFL

Thunder - NFR

Hollywood Bowl - Ocean Blvd

California/Say Yes To Heaven/Hollywood/Life is Beautiful/Big Eyes/I Can Fly - Honeymoon 

 

 

[shadesofloveduthenandnow 20,610]

I’ve said it before but Miss Bartender feels more at home on COCC than NFR. The stripped arrangement and themes of avoiding fame/the paparazzi put it right at home imo

[Veinsineon 76,854]

I think all the grandma songs on BB should’ve been on Tunnel and all the deep cuts + dealer, A&W, Paris Texas, & Watercolour eyes  should’ve been on Rock Candy Sweet  

[Mer 61,772]

Let The Light In -> LFL

Wildflower Wildfire -> OB
The Grants -> BB

Kintsugi -> BB

Wild At Heart -> NFR

[Ultra Violet 18,979]

Yosemite belonged on LFL no matter what her reservations were! To me, it didn't make sense on chemtrails at all. It might have even been better on NFR than chemtrails.

[shadesofloveduthenandnow 20,610]

Also Y&B on Paradise and YNWA on Blue Banisters

Agree on Hollywood Bowl, would have made the album even better. Fucking love that song! What a melody (and lyrics). It's a jewel

ahahah. Well, it's a pop song, about drugs, and it's got a dope beat. And it just doesn't go well with uv's rock sound even as a bonus track. 
 

I reckon it belongs on BTD more than any other record.

omg yes! Why didn't she add Y&B to Paradise??? Imagine the streams!

 

this for me is the best point on this thread so far

 

what's ynwa?

[The Siren 30,521]

For this type of rearranging I'd need to think logically. I can't have a song written/recorded in 2020 moved to an album released in 2012.

And ultraviolence as a whole doesn't mention drugs??

Lolita Born to Die (Deluxe) > Unreleased - she should unrelease this hell mess and switch it with TV in Black & White final

 

Paradise tracks belong to it 100%

 

All Ultraviolence tracks fit really perfect

 

Honeymoon tracks flow is perfect

 

List for Life tracks perfectly belong to it

 

Best American Record Norman Fucking Rockwell! > Lust for Life - should’ve been saved from that atrocious rework, the song would’ve shined so bright on Lust for Life

 

Yosemite Chemtrails Over the Country Club > Lust for Life - obviously

 

Cherry Blossom, Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend, Dealer Blue Banisters > Unreleased - makes 0 sense on it pls unrelease them!

Jimmy, x VB Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd > Unreleased - mess

 

Unreleased

 

Born to Die

Serial Killer Unreleased > Born to Die

TV in Black & White Unreleased > Born to Die (Deluxe)

 

Ultraviolence

Yes to Heaven (James Ford), Fine China (Rick Nowels) and Your Girl (Mastered) Unreleased > Ultraviolence (Deluxe) - should’ve been released no matter what

Ewwwwwwww no

 

Literally the worst song of lana's career. God-awful vocals, terrible melody, mega lazy production. In fact, there is no production on that song. Why on earth would anyone want that song on any album? It's a football club hymn and not even a good one at that

agree with a lot of these points. Lolita is a mess and serial killer, driving in cars with boys or ridin' shoulda taken its place. Even backfire

 

Your Girl being on UV is my second fav point to come out of this thread. It would have fit perfectly! It's crazy how she scrapped that and added guns and roses instead
 

And diddo on the Bb tracks. But then, for me, that whole album should have been scrapped
