Released Songs and Their Unreleased Sister Tracks

[The Missing Shade of Blue 2,400]

I love finding unreleased songs that feel like the spiritual successors of Lana's released tracks (or vice versa).

 

These are the A-Side and B-Side duos that I always associate with one another:

 

Body Electric / Serene Queen

Ride / Angels Forever, Forever Angels

Salvatore / Backfire

Ultraviolence / Cult Leader

 

There are definitely more that I can't think of right now, but I'd love to hear everyone else thoughts on it

Because Of You / Sad Girl
Dragonslayer / Nectar Of The Gods 
Wayamaya / Wait For Life
You & Me / Body Electric

 

[ShadesOfFool 20,126]

Heavy Hitter/Go Go Dancer/Hit and Run/Be My Daddy 

 

all feel like prototypes of Off to the Races, like that song condensed all of them into one singular song lol

[Ultra Violet 18,977]

Freak / Cult Leader.

Not as strongly as Ultraviolence, but it's like Cult Leader took one side and became Ultraviolence (dark), and the other side became Freak (light).

Also this counts imo

Tropico theme / Ave Maria

there’s hardly any tbh

the most strongest for me are

• Serial Killer/National Anthem

• Life Is Still Beautiful/Bel Air

• Your Girl/Pretty When You Cry

• Crazy for You/Honeymoon (not really a sister track to Honeymoon, more like underdeveloped concept from which Honeymoon was born)

• Yosemite/Tomorrow Never Came

American / JFK

That’s not-

[Coloringbooks 14,014]

I've said this before, but Butterflies, Pt. 2 / Cult Leader / Ultraviolence are like triplet songs lyrically with all that dark cult imagery

 

Butterflies, Pt. 2 doesn't really fit sonically since it predates both of the others and is synth-pop masterpiece, but all those songs are really good I think

[Embach 42,434]

Gods & Monsters and Freak (demo) are sonically quite similar, so I would call them sisters.

 

Honestly Freak (demo) and Serene Queen were kinda the new Gods & Monsters and Body Electric, we deserved but I still prefer the official Freak over the demo

None really come to mind right now, but I love when she says things in early songs that she uses in later songs. For example, she said "Chateau Marmont" in Elvis, and that was used in ottr
