Unpopular Lana Opinions

freak studio version > freak demo

My dream Freak version would be the final one with the demo bridge after the final version bridge (kinda like the two part bridge of Salvatore) with similar production/instrumental to Religion's eerie outro/final chorus followed by the Freak chorus

Bel Air slaps. A cinematic sounding masterpiece

i kno i just recently said it but i need to say it again: the lyrics for the chorus on 'not all those who wander are lost' PERTURBS me. is anyone able to explain the pinterest lyrics to me in a way that will make me appreciate them? like... is it on purpose? is it irony? "not all those who wander are lost... it's just wanderlust" seems SO incongruent w everything else she's ever written lol 

 

and on that note. i hate jack

All i can think of is gandalf, the eye of sauron, and dating profiles of those people who say they love to travel and create cheesy shit like this:

I feel like this is really an unpopular opinion, given that the cover is heavily edited (and perhaps criticized for that). But I do think that 'Paradise' is her best cover. It's giving exotic, warm, late summer afternoon vibes and she looks bomb. 

 

i don't care if the paradise cover is edited, it's still my favorite cover of her's, it's luscious & summery, the perfect lana del rey vibe

UFB sounds messy sometimes, but I still love it. Same with Dealer.

[Florida Dark 1,222]

Guys im sorry i know its not her best song at all but no matter how much people slander it i love Guns and Roses

To the exception of LFL, I always prefer the final version to all the demos she made. LB gets carried away way too much when a demo leaks and is called « better than the final version » or « better than half of the LFL album » (the LFL slander is old, get over it. If she had released another album like HM - which was the OG version of it, based on the demos - I’m sure many would have found it boring and too much « one note », just like what is said of Chemtrails).

Go Go Dancer (v1) is one of her  best songs

I agree to a certain point. I do think that most of the time the final versions fit their respective albums much better (with the exception of the BAR lyric change). However, while I love the final version of this album to death I think it would be really cool to hear an alternative version of HM. Listening to the demos for God Knows I Tried, The Blackest Day and Freak Like Me (which kind of relates a lot to the live version of Honeymoon) I think it would be an interesting experience. Imagine songs like Religion and Salvatore in this kind of style ...

I know she'll never do that but an anniversary release of HM with two discs, one containing the final album and one having the original concept would be wonderful. Kinda like the "No More Sweet Music" album by Hooverphonic, which featured a "remixed", more experimental version of the songs.

do you think she'll do an anniversary release for BTD?

NFR is lowkey overrated

I really don't think so. In case she reactivated her instagram until then she will do a sloppy posts featuring random selfies and throwback-pictures 4 days after the anniversary. But nothing else.

Maybe the label will try to push something, but that will most likely not contain outtakes/demos but instead consist of  a special vinyl-issue or a bundle with some of those terrible, random remixes.

[bluechemtrails 26,726]

Lana is the queen of movie soundtracks (Great Gatsby, Maleficent, Big Eyes, Age of Adaline), she should do more in this direction.

I know the question isn't directed at me but I'm 100% sure she will release an exclusive vinyl copy, probably a different color but I don't think the difference will be significant. It would be awesome if she replaced the three bonus songs with some completely different from that era that were never released. 

[GrenadineGrass 4,118]

I dont think yes to heaven should be released in a record anymore, she already tried with sooo many projects like, uv, honey, chem, blue bannisters, give it a break to the song lol. The only solution I can think of is releasing as a promo single randomly like looking for america and stuff

UFB sounds like Dealer x Flipside x Hey Blue Baby

 

It's such a vibe...

Post your unpopular opinions on Lana Del Rey here! I will of course start:

 

 

The No Kung Fu "Yayo" shits all over the album version.

No Kung Fu > AKA > Paradise.

[Dark Angel 202,176]

big eyes is one of my favorite lana songs

 

although, i will say, the lyrics are kinda bad...
