Songs Lana should cover

Recommended Posts

Somewhere Only We Know was actually written and preformed by a band called Keane :toofunny: but nvm I'd love to see Lana cover it tbh

Oops, my memory was a bit hazy. Must have thought it was a Lily Allen song at the time because that cover version was just on my playlist, lol.

It's okay we're all human and make mistakes at the end of the day lol :)

I can't remember if I've posted this on this thread before but

 

 

I always thought Lana could do a nice rendition of Fiona Apple's Criminal (or almost anything else from the Tidal album, in fact). The lyrics are so her.

 

Omg Cool and Criminal would be fantastic.

 

Another one I'd like is - September Song

A hauntingly/slow version of this would be heavenly. 

 

Perhaps a bit too unique for a Lana cover, but its still one of my fave "weathers".

 

The things she could do with the "gazing at you" part omg.

I think she could make her own cool version of "Bloody Creature Poster Girl" by In This Moment. Though it's nu-metal, the song has an vintage old movie type sound to it and the lyrics of "Marilyn kisses" and "poster girls" are like Lana's Marilyn and beauty queen references.

Can't really explain why for this one but I thought this could be Lanaesque. Probably because of the theme of being in a bad relationship but not really wanting to let go and at the same time the song sounds more soothing rather than sad.

I want her to cover Somewhere Over the Rainbow for some reason.

That's such a great idea

She could turn it into a slow, depressing anthem, a total transformation sort of like she did with OUAD :cumming2:

I found this very interesting, she covering the nasal voice of genius Lynch or collaborating with him (so hypnotic):

Oh, I forgot Velvet Underground, dark, experimental and subversive in the midst of glee sixties, singing about pain, fetishes, perversity and addiction in a way Lana could carry it out perfectly.

Not to mention her icon status can almost already be compared to the one of Nico, but although Lana often shows her vulnerable side and Nico was aloof ice queen (tropical vs. teutonic), Lana can also act as detached femme fatale on her frosty throne.

Nico, My Funny Valentine (or anybody else's):

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvE9WRM86Hs

(comments section: "my tranny valentine" :D ) - her voice is strange and even repulsive and eerie to many, but she was deaf to one ear and had that unique grave german accent and masculine austerity of vocals :) Lana, in contrast, sounds like summer zephyr and her interpretation would probably be angelic

 

 

 

And Portishead:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoI08LdWQwQ (has a touch of Bond themes)

 

 

This is magical and mesmerizing (This Mortal Coil: Song to the Siren):

I'm not even kidding.

Not Lana, but this is a great cover of that. (Just try not to think of the fact that her dad is Deuce Bigalow.)

Roy Orbison's "A love so beautiful" and to do an official Christmas release with Leonard Cohen (perhaps doing the bing/bowie song)

Also Lana should do Bing Crosby's and Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark (note-they are two different songs, Bing's song was heard in the movie "The Shining" at the bar

scene with Jack Nicholson, and somehow make it into a medley

 

Also would love to hear Lana doing a Harry Chapin song and championing Harry into the Rock hall of fame. Two unique people. Perhaps twist Harry's "Mail order Annie" around,

and be Annie, or perhaps, twist Harry's Corey's coming, and be Corey herself. (so perhaps splice a duet with Harry into it).


Lana is our modern day Edith Piaf. Totally unique. a mixture of Brian WIlson Roy Orbison, Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons, Elton & Bernie. Born to Die/Paradise is comparable to Elton's Captain Fantastic. All the records need to be listened whole. Waiting for a box set vinyl of all 400 songs not on any lp
