I think that is a VERY broad understanding of that genre andit's sound - which, although diverse, is actually pretty profilic. Yeah, dreamy andmelancholic vibes with strings, reverb and slow beats are a huge part of it, but I woul never think of HM as trip hop. I also listened to it "for all of mylife", so when I think about it, I envision Portishead, Massive Attack, Bowery Electric, Archive's Londinium, Tricky's Maxinquaye, Laika, Flying Lotus, Bonobo, DJ Cam, Lamb, early Moloko etc. And HM is really not close to any of this.

 

Speaking of Tricky, Lana needs to cover this on LDR8

This one too (imagine her singing Elizabeth Fraser's part)

I think "Dissolved Girl" or "Black Melt/ Black Milk" would be a great song for her to do IF she would ever cover a Massive Attack song.

let me manifest it again

with ALL THE REASONS WHY LANA DEL REY SHOULD HAVE COVERED "MY MELANCHOLY BLUES" BY QUEEN.

• lana has referenced and praised every rock band in the world except queen (the only thing i saw of them in lana's work was the brian may footage in the axl rose "gramma" music video);
• the song's got everything she likes: a legendary glamorous musician, piano and "blue" tone;
• the lyrics are TBD's distant cousin ("my baby left me") with a flavor of what lana showed us about the new album

- "let me get in that sinking feeling" "don't expect me to behave perfectly and wear that sunny smile" "don't try and stop me" = the way people never let lana show any darn kind of gloom in her lyrics without saying she's romanticizing sadness

- "i'm in the news, i'm just getting used to my new exposure, so come into my enclosure and meet my blues"... i think it's a perfect match with the response she gave to those articles in the early "rock candy sweet" ig stories.

• MMB is pure jazz, just like summertime the gershwin version. so i think lana would do queen's song gorgeously;
• also, check the 1977 live version of MMB, all the drama freddie put into it. if lana was to sing it the same way, we'd have million dollar man 2.0.

YES, OMG! One of my favourite songs in the world 

Let's pray and manifesting this together sis

my DREAM lana del rey cover, somebody brought this up in the pre-release thread for as&c and now i've discovered the doors  also, we need a studio version of "roadhouse blues", a cover of "light my fire" or "the crystal ship" would be a delight, if she's feeling experimental, she could cover "the end"!   

[Mer 61,735]

Probably been mentioned but “Wild Horses”

Omg yes!!! I’ve always thought her voice would suit this so well—probably would have fit COCC pretty decently, too 

[daphnedinkley 13,475]

this is so random and probably seems strange since i know lana isn't exactly suited to the reggae genre lol, but i feel like she'd be able to cover the song My Willow Tree by Alton Ellis really beautifully for some reason??

Hotel Carlifornia by Eagles and Heroin by The Velvet Underground

[bff 2,462]

idk if anyone else said it, but i would kill to hear lana cover an amy winehouse song.

[IanadeIrey 62,020]

Lilac Wine by Nina Simone/Jeff Buckley (I’ll take a cover from Lana based on either interpretation because both are amazing)!

 

So Far Away by Carole King

 

I Talk to the Wind by King Crimson

Any Amy Winehouse song (maybe Valerie or Wake Up Alone or You Know I’m No Good)

[13beachess 7,614]

Chick Habbit by April March ! (I don't get how the fuck to embed a video apparently lmao)

Thissss!!! I’ve always wondered what Amy song would suit lana because I can’t imagine what song she would cover or even how it would sound. As much as I love Lana I have no idea how she would pull an Amy song off I’ve yet to find someone who can fully do Amy justice hahaha

I would love Lana to cover the Star Spangled Banner, like have her do a faithful rendition of the anthem without all those unnecessary trills and runs and vocal gymnastics all these “vocalists” do every time they sing it
