Songs Lana should cover

[annedauphine 35,923]

She needs to cover Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince (as if she could) but I know I have bad taste don't berate me

[maxthehitman 1,729]

I know, hehe, that’s why I’m curious how she’d make the song to her own. ^^’ But your suggestion is great too! Love that song. The Hands That Built America is another slow song and also filled with New York images, maybe she could pull it off too..?

U2’s songs are so perfect already so it would be hard to top them though.

 

 

 

Oh yeah That sounds cool.  I Love that song "The Hands that Built America", very cinematic and with a catchy melody,

but I wonder how she would pull off that part with the Opera singing ?          " Hooollly Hooollly Heeeee TChiiiii OOooooh OOoohhh Hiiiiii Tchiiiiiii OOoooooh Ooooooh ! "

What a Screamer ! LOL

 

 

Annedauphine, its ALL good. Your taste in music is very cool too.  

We are just posting ideas and talking about it, it does not mean Lana will ACTUALLY sing any of these songs. -- Right now, she is probably laughing her head off

at all of our posts here. 

Its just us talking and fantasizing her doing some cover songs. She actually does not need to cover anyone, she has her own great songs to sing

A Horse With No Name

 

Lots of people are feeling lost and disoriented rn so the theme is relevant, plus she has that soothing tone that would work well with the song. Imagine the "la la laaaaaa lalalala"'s

 

We need. We deserve.

A song that's been on repeat lately.

 

I feel like it has so many Lanaisms

 

Slow down, you crazy child

 

You'd better cool it off before you burn it out

 

But you know that when the truth is told

That you can get what you want or you can just get old

 

You've got your passion, you've got your pride

But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true

 

This would be so good with a kinda drunken depressed and disillusioned vocal performance à la The Good Life. Maybe she could change Vienna to Venice   

 

Or maybe the more obvious Billy Joel cover for the Queen of Saigon

 

 

[Flowerbomb 65,594]

Imagine if she did this with Father John Misty. What's funny is that this song sounds like something that belonged on FJM's album I Love You, Honeybear

 

[PipeDelRey 395]

I need this song, it’s perfect for Lana’s voice. 

 

I put this cover ‘cause it’s beautiful

McArthur Park!

omg also 
 

Where the Wild Roses Grow 

[Trash Magic 28,421]

Just heard this song on Spotify radio and instantly loved it. and it's from an album called Mermaid Avenue!

 

[Lustformoney 41,470]

HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN

[IanadeIrey 62,101]

She needs to do “I Talk to the Wind” by King Crimson. There’s a version with a flute in the intro on Spotify that I love, but this version with the bluesier guitars is just as gorgeous for Lana 

 

 

[past the bushes 30,939]

I really can't remember who mentioned it in another thread, but she should cover Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights, it can be a nice opportunity to show off her vocal range (Cola comes to mind) and also the song kinda talks about a 'reuniting with a lost lover' kinda story (I'd recommend reading Emily Brontë's book that inspires the song if you are into classics!) that might be similar to Bel Air, Dark Paradise and some parts of Young and Beautiful.

[baddisease 17,942]

I so want Lana to cover this, especially if she can do it in her Lolita voice

 

 

 

[daphnedinkley 13,501]

i'm DYING for her to cover Mac Demarco - Let My Baby Stay

[SlowGinFizzzz 15,354]

I've said it before (probably even in this very thread),  but I would die if she covered Frozen. 

 

 

[knives 2,524]

i would love to see her cover any carpenters song. especially these two:
