it will be at midnight local time. you can listen to it on youtube using new zeleand, and I'm guessing couple other countries now vpn.

Thanks--I assume others are hearing it complete via New Zealand. Certainly it will leak sometime today, for better or worse?

Based on the UMG catalog ID this song was prepared for release around June to July 2023. That's also when BoZ said we are getting more unreleased 

That makes no sense to release it at that time but it’s also very interesting

What covers do we predict ? I'm guessing the album is gonna be country/folk covers only so Heart Shaped Box is ruled out.

 

Country roads, Stand By Your Man, Unchained Melody, Chelsea hotel.

I would love End of The World too..

End of the World seems like a really good choice.
Chelsea Hotel No 2 might happen, but idk if it's considered an American Classic and Standard, since Leonard was Canadian? But it's talking about the Chelsea Hotel in NY so who knows

Maybe we'll finally get a studio version of Why Don't You Do Right

Is it just me or she is actually singing this  with her 2012- 2015 voice?

Maybe a Beach Boys cover, "In my room", "The warmth of the Sun" possibly...

[Vertimus 8,963]

I'd love a good studio version of The Good Life. Being older than Lana, I when I think of American classics, I tend to think of music from the 1930s-1950s with jazz/blues overtones, like Skylark, My Funny Valentine, Last Night When We Were Young, and Lover Man, and Unchained Melody does come from the late 50s. 

 

I can't see Chelsea Hotel No. 2 fitting in with CRTMH and UM, but it depends what the album is called and what its focus is, especially as it was written by Leonard Cohen, a Canadian, making it not literally Americana. Though some might consider it a standard, but Cohen has so many songs that could be considered standards in the broad sense. I don't consider CHN2 a standard. 

 

It would be wonderful to have a double album of covers, maybe each disc having a different focus, one Americana and the other covers of all kinds. Imagine Lana doing Lilac Wine.

That would be awesome. Or The Warmth of the Sun. In My Room, like Caroline No, is certainly a post-50s standard.

I haven’t listened to it yet (still got 7 hours til midnight) but that would make sense since she mentioned she’s recorded covers for about ten years!

Yeah, there's nothing heinous about the song, especially from a singer who wrote 'American' and 'God Bless America.'

I’ve been thinking about this almost daily since that first snipped leaked last year  The fact that Fingertips, Tunnel, and Country Roads ended up getting released after the leaks gives me hope for Zodiac 

Tunnel leaked??????

[brandon 12,375]

was thinking about what covers might be possible and i think i just realized i need her to cover a carpenters song soooooo bad 😭

Compare “Doin’ Time” original to the hit cover. You can see why her cover was a hit and the original wasn’t. Lana cover has additional beats and it’s actually even faster and groovier than the original. Andrew Watt is a great producer.

 

This is a boring flop. It’s the reverse of “Doin’ Time”. She took a hit and made a flop out of it.

 

um?!?!?  oh sweetie no... i think you need to learn some music history and expand your listening horizon

a snippet of both tunnel and fingertips leaked way before the album was announced! Neither leaked in full

Here’s the snippet, first leaked in Sept 2022. I think this is the leak that prompted Lana to post that video about her backpack being stolen from her car and how she lost Behind the Iron Gates.

 

[Orville Peck 23,171]

if you told me this was recorded in the Tropico sessions I would believe it. Her singing is very similar on songs like Lake Placid.

[Vertimus 8,963]

There's a hilariously bad cover of CRTMH on Youtube purporting to be Lana. I found it very funny.

OMGGGGGG YAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
