Additional Things You Would've Liked To Add To A Lana Song

[Embach 40,910]

The title is very long but worth understanding - which additional things you would've liked to add to a Lana song? It can be something instrumentally, lyrically or vocally.

 

Let's share our thoughts!

I have always envisioned additional dramatical orchestral strings in the background of Coachella - Woodstock In My Mind's chorus. Like something similar to National Anthem's or Bittersweet Symohony's intro strings 🎻🎶 But it would have made the song more dramatic than it already is...

i absolutely love pin up galore, but i do wish the quality was better and that you could hear the guitar work more clearly, when you filter the song you can really hear how beautiful they are

[Mer 61,198]

A proper electric guitar literally to any part of the last 3 albums 

Spoiler

Kidding

Kinda

The Next Best American Record, i like the new chorus but I heavily miss the "honey how's it feeling now, i.... told ya" outro

[never2heaven 6,725]

i would love if interlude the trio was incorporated more into blue banisters because it EATS and i need to see what she would do with that lyrically

[Lanaparadiserey 23,422]

Love this thread🙏

 

For me, I would make the production of American a lot darker, it is way too lively and pop-ish in my opinion. I would make the production more electric guitar focused and make the Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh lower pitch. 
 

I would also make the vocals in Fishtail a lot clearer and not so muffled 

 

Oh and I would make the vocals and flow of Arcadia more similar to the soundcheck in Quebec and make it more a acoustic guitar based song with a build up to The Trio at the end, just like A&W

Another verse to Cherry. Great song that always felt incomplete.

I agree, same with White Mustang 

[Veinsineon 76,228]

I would add intros to Arcadia,  Violets For Roses, Sweet, and Watercolor Eyes because what reason did she have to make them begin so abruptly? Like. Half of the intro sounds like it’s missing. Especially Arcadia!

I would add more unique lyrics to some songs where the lyrics are just repeated.

Imagine Sad Girl with more powerful, less repetitive lyrics

Agreed that CWIMM should have been made more impactful with something else in the production! The strings in Bittersweet Symphony are so unique. They're very bright and uplifting. Something like that would be so interesting.

I also wish Cherry had louder strings in it. The ending could have been more cinematic. I attempted putting more strings on it from an orchestral cover, and it sounds better, but not like what i really imagine. They wouldnt even need to be long strings, just more of what was already in the song, but more emphasised.

just make Off to the Races 15 minutes longer idk 

[honeymooncd 3,744]

I just need to know if we have the full version of 1949 or not....

[honeymooncd 3,744]

Oh- also fix the glitch in white dress bc every time I hear it it makes me want to die.

[Lana Del Dufrene 10,125]

Angels forever with more live drum and a rougher electric guitar

[oldandugly 1,625]

zodiac with it being released on the album 

[Rorman Nockwell 56,493]

I think TJF could've been top 5 with an extra verse and I would've added some harp

Harp in everything

Does Jack play the harp? Can you buy Fisher-Price harps?

[Embach 40,910]

Let The Light In is perfect as it is but I have always envisioned or like when I'm singing it own my own, I always add this weird little thing:

 

'Cause I love to love, to love, to love you (LOVE YOU!)
I hate to hate, to hate, to hate you (HATE YOU!)

 

Like those little things in the brackets are like faint background shouts, similarly to The Blackest Day's post-chorus:

 

Because I'm going deeper and deeper (DEEPER!)

Harder and harder (HARDER!)

 

And this part in the chorus of Let The Light In has always reminded me of that part in the post-chorus of The Blackest Day. Has anyone felt that way too?
