There are many classics on Lungs but I don't really like Girl With One Eye (the demo - Filthy Fingers - is much stronger imo). Also, My Boy Builds Coffins and Kiss With a Fist (likewise, I think Happy Slap is better) are okay but not really incredible, and really show that they're being pulled in different directions on the debut. 

 

My ranking would probably go . . 

HAH = HBHBHB 

Ceremonials = Lungs

Unplugged

 

I don't think there are any week numbers on HAH or HBHBHB (except dorky Caught. It's so plonky. OOO-oo-oo-ooo-oo-oo-ooo-ooooooo). Ceremonials has just as many iconic anthems but Leave My Body is a kitchen sink and Seven Devils gives me anxiety. Also I don't really care for Never Let Me Go - it's always overshadowing Lover to Lover which is tons better. Ceremonials was the best era aesthetically, vocally and for live performances however.

A few favourites:

 

When our queen invented dancing 

 

and looked into the gates of heaven

 

and when I photobombed her and got made into a fandom meme

 

Impossible to pick favourite songs when we have Hunger, Third Eye, HBHBHB, Shake It Out . . . so I will be celebrating while streaming TOO MUCH IS NEVER ENOUGH for its incredible bridge. 

"AND WHO CARES ABOUT THE THING I DID THAT NIGHT??
SO WHAT?! MAYBE LUNA HAD IT RIGHT! 
AND WHO CAAAAAAARES IF I'M COMING BACK ALIVE?!
SO WHAAAAAAAT? AT LEAST I HAD THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT!!"

Okay so I found Honey, WTF, Baptize, and Tantalus, are there any other leaks of theirs from the last couple of years? I haven’t kept up on my unreleased stuff within the last year or two and am trying to catch up

Not in the last couple years, no.

 

There was the Lungs 10 year anniversary edition last year, which included a few tracks that had not been officially released before (Postcards from Italy, My Best Dress, Donkey Kosh), but all of those had been leaked for many years prior to being released.

Oh okay thanks, I’ve had those for a while and I’ve got the 10th anniversary on Apple Music. I’ve seen a lot of titles floating around but couldn’t find if they’d leaked, so that’s good to know. Thanks!! I’ve been fleshing out my vinyl collection and have completely forgot to keep up with unreleased so when I saw those 4 had leaked, I had to find out if there were any other leaks recently

tantalus, baptize (Dua's electricity demo), honey (it has some similar lyrics from sky full of song), WTF (covered in blood).

 

 

[partymonster 4,722]

i’ve been listening to HBHBHB so much recently and i have 2 things to say

1) make up your mind is genuinely one of her best songs, i didn’t realise until now how good it was 

2) as far as i could get deserved to be on the standard album version, but it could’ve at least made the deluxe version. vinyl exclusive? an insult. she really added that snoozefest caught but not this... ok miss welch

is any from ceremonials?

[Ghost Town 307]

i hope we get at least a new single this year :/

 

3 years between HBHBHB and HAH, now it's getting close to 3 years since HAH so hopefully something is in the works and getting closer to release... but would be understandable if there is a delay due to all the chaos over the last year.

 

(also no Caught slander will be accepted here, it's so good)

[Rorman Nockwell 56,991]

Over the Love is finally on Spotify. Thanks to @takeitdoen for the heads up!

[Rorman Nockwell 56,991]

Also she has a handful of other unreleased songs. I forgot the names. I think they're mostly HBHBHB era

She usually releases most of her own demos 'n' stuff anyway and that is why there aren't many
