Songs Lana should cover

[thatsomason 1,202]

It'd be interesting to see Lana cover "It's Oh So Quiet". She could do it softly instead of yelling with the "wow bam!"

[CriesMarmalade 178]

 

 

For some reason I get a very Lanaesque vibe from this song:

 

 

 

Je Reviendrai Toujours Vers Toi by Brigitte Bardot:

Since some people have mentioned the Velvets, I think this would be their most fitting song for Lana:

 

 

I would also like to hear her do Heart of Glass.

 

[FragileLamplight 62]

A medley of this and Video Games please.

I'd really like to hear Lana cover Fleetwood Mac's Dreams.

MY TOP 3 SONGS FOR LANA TO COVER ARE :

 

1. "Wonderful Life"
 

On a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night,
Susie meets the man of her dreams.
He says that he'd got in trouble and if she doesn't mind
He doesn't want the company.

But there's something in the air
They share a look in silence
And everything is understood.
Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand
As the rain puts a tear in his eye.

She says:
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life. [x2]

Driving through the city to the Temple station,
Cries into the leather seat
And Susie knows her baby was a family man,
But the world has got him down on his knees.

So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire,
And suddenly he starts to believe
He takes her in his arms and he doesn't know why,
But he thinks that he begins to see.

She says:
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life. [x4]

She says:
Don't let go
Never give up.
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life.

Wonderful life, wonderful life,
wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life. [x2]
Don't let go. [x2]

 

 

2."Feel"
 

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
I sit and talk to God
And he just laughs at my plans
My head speaks a language
I don't understand

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
I don't wanna die
But I ain't keen on living either
Before I fall in love
I'm preparing to leave her

Scare myself to death
That's why I keep on running
Before I've arrived
I can see myself coming
I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
Cos I got too much life
Running through my veins
Going to waste
And I need to feel
Real love and the love ever after
I can not get enough

I just wanna feel
Real love feel the home that I live in
I got too much love
Running through my veins
To go to waste

I just wanna feel
Real love and the love ever after
There's a hole in my soul
You can see it in my face
It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand
I wanna contact the living
Not sure I understand
This role I've been given
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand
Not sure I understand

 

 

 

3."Careless Whisper"
 

I Feel So Unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all it's sad goodbyes

[Chorus:]
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whisper of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

[Chorus]

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say
We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But now who's gonna dance with me
Please stay

[Chorus]

Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Now that you've gone
Was what I did so wrong
So wrong that you had to leave me alone

 

 

 

I would die to hear Lana's spin on these songs....It wud b really interesting and sonically appetizing....The lyrics r amazing too!!!

[OFFTOTHERACES. 280]

 

Call me crazy, but I would LOVE to hear her cover this song, especially this version (Confessions Tour version).

 

 

"Paradise (Not For Me)"

 

I can't remember

When I was young

I can't explain

If it was wrong

My life goes on

But not the same

Into your eyes

My face remains

 

(I've been so high)

I've been so down

(Up to the skies)

Down to the ground

 

I was so blind

I could not see

Your paradise

Is not for me

 

Autour de moi (translation: All around me)

Je ne vois pas (I could not see)

Qui sont les anges (Who are the angels)

Surement pas moi (Surely not me)

Encore une fois (Once more again)

Je suis cassee (I am broken)

Encore une fois (Once more again)

Je n'y crois pas (I don't believe it)

 

[Chorus:]

I've been so high

I've been so down

Up to the skies

Down to the ground

 

There is a light

Above my head

Into your eyes

My face remains

 

[chorus]

 

I can't remember

When I was young

Into your eyes

My face remains

 

Into your eyes

My face remains

 

[chorus, repeat]

[toshi 948]

I'd love to hear a full cover of I Love Paris.

[Lily 120]

I've been REALLY wanting to hear her cover "The End Of The World."  With her voice and her general "vintage sad girl" attitude, it would be so damn beautiful. I'd be so thrilled if she covered it.

Joni Mitchell's the Circle Game. Such a beautiful song. My mother used to sing it to me when I was a little boy before I went to sleep. She reminds me of Joni Mitchell in style so very much a good idea. I hope she sings this song!

[Tommi 813]

Since Lana apparently stopped drinking I'd love for her to cover 'Twist In My Sobriety', one of my fave 80's songs. Has anyone heard it before? The mood and guitars would be perfect tbh

[leaked_version 10,499]

I am currently quite intrigued by the idea of Lana covering ABBA, tbh.

 

Songs like "Lay All Your Love On Me" or "One Of Us". I think it would perfectly suit her.

[boywonder 252]

I'd die if she covered There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths, Lovesong by The Cure, Unravel by Björk, and I agree SO HARD with whomever suggested Winter Now by Broadcast earlier on this page. Also, not sure if she'd ever be down to do a French song, but she could absolutely kill Voilà by Françoise Hardy.

[Trash Magic 28,422]

Songs like "Lay All Your Love On Me" or "One Of Us". I think it would perfectly suit her.

One of Us is a great song

 

 

Ideally I would love Lana to completely plagiarise Try and Love Again by Eagles. Would be so perfect thematically on Honeymoon

[thatsomason 1,202]

I'd die if she covered There Is a Light That Never Goes Out by The Smiths, Lovesong by The Cure, Unravel by Björk,

Omg her doing a björk cover would be very interesting, unravel is such a beautiful song too

[leaked_version 10,499]

One of Us is a great song

It really is. ABBA were really capable of delivering some great pop songs. 

 

I also hope that one day somebody gives Lana a Kate Bush record. Not that she has to sound or write like Kate (won't happen anyway), but just in terms of conceptualising a record. The Hounds Of Love with its two sides is brilliant.

[Titan 867]

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE for her to cover House of the Rising Sun
