I wanted to re-visit this thread because I have so many favorite Lana moments in her released songs, all of which I've picked out carefully.

Literally whenever the organ comes in on Heroin

The bridge/outro of 24

The entire instrumental of G&R

Plenty more but can’t think right now lol


If by not 'up to par' you mean distilling the worst elements that only kind of work in songs, sure. I could put a dictionary audiobook on shuffle and put it to an instrumental of old money and some of y'all would still be saying it's 50/50 lmfao.

To be honest, the Ennio Morricone-esque trumpets of "Big Eyes", how it has those psychedelic synths that swell, and stays subtle and horror-centric in a slow way before it BANGS into that AMAZING THUNDER of percussion.

 

Seriously, this song has aged like wine for me. I may be alone, but it's one of her best songs in terms of aesthetics. Then again, I love everything she does, but it's whatever. Give this song another go peeps - preferably in really damn good damn awesome good damn earphones.

The way her voice shortly cracks during "how it gave you you everything" during the second Heroin chorus.

 

The way she uses a very low register during "I want" and then climbs up into the heights of "Money, Power and Glory".

 

The layered FMWUTTT vocals during the last Ultraviolence-chorus

 

The defeat you hear in her voice while she sings "but you do it well" shortly before PWYC's finale.

 

Those ... weird nautic noises that appear in both 13 Beaches and HBTB

 

The intros of Honeymoon, Cola, Shades of Cool and West Coast.

 

The drum rolls in Cherry.

 

The way she sings "And I'll never sing again", followed by the backing vocal-moans in Swan Song's chorus.

 

The "I'm lonely" part of Wait For Life.


Just do it. Just do it - don't wait!

CRUMBS m8 where do I even start.

  • Brooklyn Baby - the sheer CHEEK of the line "Yeah, my boyfriends pretty cool / but he's not as cool as me"- I always have a little smile to myself after this.
  • Terrance Loves You - "Ground control to Major Tom / can you hear me all night long?"
  • Fine China - One the second verse where the strings layer and the bass is plucking, also the lines "I guess they really got the best of us, didn't they? / They said that love was enough but it wasn't" and also " . . . for our day in the sun / on the same day my mother to be said she wouldn't come" Fucking ALL of Fine China really though?
  • Yayo - On AKA at around 4:00 she echoes her own "dark night" but it's this YELL in the background which is fucking sick "daaAAARRRRK NIIIIIIIIIIGHHHHTTTTTTTTTT!" My jaw dropped and I rewound it like 4 times.
  • Florida Kilos - The bop of the chorus.</li>
  • National Anthem - In the demo of this when she says"Um, do you think you'll buy me lots of diamonds" and then the man replies "Yes, of course I will my darling" Such a pimp!!!
  • Love- The uplifting and ethereal line which makes me feel like I'm flying! "Young. And in loooOOOOOooOOO-AHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOVEEEE"
  • Heroin - IT'S FUCKING HOT. HOT.
  • Lolita - In the demo 4 on "want my cake and . . ." the bridge is terrifying in a sense that something impending is coming fast and there is so much spite, malice and faux playfulness in the delivery. This mix is the surfy rock one and it's also loud and chaotic.
  • Hollywood -"I walk on water and I DANCE like JOPLIN"

Could go on for a while.

Good news thot of more!

The guitar/whatever it is in the background during the intro of BPBP

“Lay Lady Lay on this side of paradiIIiise in the Tropic of Cancer”

The adlibs in Get Free

Her voice when she sings “I guess they really got the beEest of us, didn’t they?”

“He says to be cool and I know he means it / He’s loving my look and I’m loving all his strategic ways / I said, “do you think you’ll kill for me one day?” Should’ve made it to the album version of NA tbh

The whole chorus of Because of You

The drums in the opening of Put Me in a Movie

The opening of Born to Die. Those strings are beautiful.
