PARADIXO 33,101 Posted June 22, 2023 1 hour ago, theblackestday111 said: I may sound delusional, but hear me out - Hide contents This is from Radiohead's old website in the scrap book section: I know it comes from A Clockwork Orange but just the fact that the word was significant to both of them is enough for me "If I get old, I will not give in But if I do, remind me of this Remind me that once I was free, once I was cool, once I was me/If I get old, remind me of this The way that we kissed, and I really meant it" from A Reminder reminds me of a reoccurring theme in Lana's music about growing older/the fear of death (Young and Beautiful, Born to Die, Fingertips, etc) and "You're young, you're wild, you're free" from Cruel World. Black Star & Black Beauty - Similar titles and they are basically about the same thing, being with someone who is depressed and trying to help but it doesn't change anything. "Well, what am I to do?"/"Oh, what can I do?" No Surprises & Swan Song - As Lana said, “It’s the antithesis of hopefulness,” about Swan Song, I think that meaning could very well be applied to No Surprises as well. They both seem to be about taking one's life or at least escaping from the world in some manner. "I will never sing again/And you won't work another day"/"I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide" In general, escapism is something both Lana & Radiohead have in common. In Limbo & Honeymoon - "You're living in a fantasy world"/"Dreaming away your life" All I Need & Video Games - "You are all I need"/"It's all for you, everything I do" Anyone Can Play Guitar & Gods and Monsters - "I wanna be, wanna be Jim Morrison"/"I'm livin' like Jim Morrison" Pyramid Song & The Grants - "All my lovers were there with me/All my past and futures/And we all went to heaven in a little row boat/There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt"/"Do you think about Heaven?/Do you think about me?/My pastor told me when you leave, all you take is your memory/And I'm gonna take minе of you with me" Then they both have James Bond songs, Spectre & 24 (supposedly) Then there's the influences that they share, Jeff Buckley, Ennio Morricone, The Beach Boys, The Beatles (and possibly Neil Young & David Bowie?) There's probably more, but anyways to me they really share a lot of similar themes and feelings, if you get it, you get it, if you don't, you don't I guess And there's definitely songs that connect to a bunch of different songs (in my mind) but I didn't wanna look too crazy Thanks for coming to my ted talk Escapism definitely is the biggest aspect they share! Loved your analysis 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taco truck 33,437 Posted June 22, 2023 Ultraviolence is the only Lana album where I prefer the outtakes to the actual album… something about Tropico sessions was so special 6 Quote ❀❀ ˖° ⋆.ೃ࿔ this is my idea of fun °⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think almost every song written for that album is a 10. Even Guns And Roses is actually a fantastic song imo 14 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Secret 30 Posted June 25, 2023 I kind of hope she doesn't release an unreleased collection until she's done with her recording career, as a treat for fans. I think regardless of track list, versions of the tracks we get on the release, the way she promotes and acknowledges the project and even the artwork, not a single person would be happy (as usual, but even moreso). I think the more we ask for this type of release, the more likely she is to pull more Blue Banisters-esque behaviour of throwing things out sloppily because fans won't shut up. The whole releasing a few unreleased here and there as droplets ala Say Yes to Heaven is reasonably okay for me, but it should only be for exceptional circumstances. The only other two I'd be really here for based on their noteriety on social media and amongst non-stans is Queen of Disaster and the demo version of National Anthem. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Embach 45,128 Posted June 27, 2023 The Dan Heath Orchestral Remix of West Coast is her best remix ever released. West Coast is still THAT song, the official version slaps, the radio mix slaps and even this remix slaps I have too many favorite Lana songs but I know that West Coast is the one that stays in the top 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lanaismamom 11,553 Posted June 29, 2023 not a favorite songs of mine off lfl but i think that released version of beautiful people beautiful problems is actually superior, it feels so good on lfl like it finally found its home, demo versions are cool and everything but the song in these forms just felt unfinished and didnt suit right, the lfl version is just how she song should be 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
