[BBM Baby 362]

or this

 

[leaked_version 10,498]

that is already a cover. and a bad one on top. 

 

[Stargirl 13,348]

My Neck, My Back

 

No but seriously, Is That All There Is? by Peggy Lee

[theeternalstars 4,576]

A stripped back version of Flesh without Blood by Grimes

[BENTLEY 3,494]

[SuperMegaStan 9,667]

I always look forward to hearing this

 

 

but if it's a cover of a recent song, No1 Party Anthem comes close

[PinUpCartoonBaby 1,017]

Be my Husband by Nina Simone

Honestly I'm even a bit surprised she didn't so this one yet ...

[thatsomason 1,201]

I've been listening to Kamasi Washington's album "The Epic" and there's one song on there that's a jazz standard cover "Cherokee" and from the way the female singer on that song sings it makes me think Lana would do well on the song, provided she had the correct jazz instrumentation (not those baseball stadoum synths)

[slayLANAslay 239]

the entirety of Screaming Tress discography - especially

 

and this one with Josh Homme (King of Fuck Mountain on guitar) please goddess let Lana be invited to the next Desert Sessions if there is one

 

ITT- plenty of Mark Lanegan solo mentions, so i second those for real.

oh wait i forgot cola exists

[AngelHeadedHipster 2,628]

I would really love to hear Lana cover "Don't Cry for me Argentina"

I feel lyrically it really matches her personality.

 

"Don't Cry For Me Argentina"

 

[Eva:]

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange

When I try to explain how I feel

That I still need your love after all that I've done

 

You won't believe me

All you will see is a girl you once knew

Although she's dressed up to the nines

At sixes and sevens with you

 

I had to let it happen, I had to change

Couldn't stay all my life down at heel

Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

 

So I chose freedom

Running around, trying everything new

But nothing impressed me at all

I never expected it to

 

[Chorus:]

 

Don't cry for me Argentina

The truth is I never left you

All through my wild days

My mad existence

I kept my promise

Don't keep your distance

 

And as for fortune, and as for fame

I never invited them in

Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

 

They are illusions

They are not the solutions they promised to be

The answer was here all the time

I love you and hope you love me

 

Don't cry for me Argentina

 

[chorus]

 

Have I said too much?

There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.

But all you have to do is look at me to know

That every word is true

[slang 1,509]

the entirety of Screaming Tress discography - especially

 

What I like about the suggestion that LDR cover an entire album of some other artist is that would put the universe back into kilter, after the unsettling covering of Taylor Swift's 1989 by Ryan Adams. Screaming Trees is an interesting suggestion for an artist, but if it were only one album, would it be Sweet Oblivion (which has Dollar Bill)?

 

Also, as an alternative suggestion, let me suggest Ballet the Boxer 1 from OURS (and Jimmy Gnecco)? She'd have to sing full throttle (both emotionwise and powerwise) through a lot of it, and I wonder if she could do that. TBH, I wonder the same thing about Adele. 

 

[fantascinate 9]

If Lana covered Tell Me What To Swallow, I'd be so happy. It's got the same vulnerability that Lana expresses in many songs. 

This would be fantastic!

yeah i guess i would have to say Sweet Oblivion, but i love so many songs from Last Words - i would love to hear her cover Crawlspace, Ash Gray Sunday and and and- i'll stop. 

 

oh very interesting, i like OURS that would be a challenge for her and her fandom would freak over more Jimmy Gnecco connections. 

 

i would also suggest Mark Lanegan's Bubblegum because Methamphetamine Blues, Hit the City and Wedding Dress would mesh with her aesthetic so well. 

[kik 1,563]

I'd like to hear her version of The Great Gig In The Sky.

[vanillaiceys 221]

[thatsomason 1,201]

 

Hmmm, I would love her to do a Björk song, but idk if Bachelorette is her speed. From Homogenic, I think she'd do Unravel or Joga justice. I was just listening to Biophilia and thought she could do a beautiful cover of Virus, one of my favs from that album.

[Wild One 3,305]

[Thunder Revenant 20,695]

This is the perfect song for Lana, tbh. And oh, no mo Nina covers.

Yeah, I also thought about this. Would be a classic Lana-cover. Maybe in the style of her Y&B live performances.

 

5. Heart Shaped Sunglasses by Marilyn Manson

 

You could do a lot with this one, and she could go full Lolita on it too. I mean, if she ever wants to recreate that style of things. Since he mostly screamsings it, she could honestly go anywhere with the vocals. Also, the word "little girl".

 

"She said: kiss me, it will heal, but it won't forget."

 

 

 

That would be hillarous!
